Sweet Surrender by Dennis Hiebert Pdf

Every culture has a way of perceiving and practicing marriage. Many contemporary Western Christians mistake what their culture prescribes regarding marriage with what the Bible portrays, and thereby take as biblical what is merely cultural. Uncritical conformity to cultural imperatives of marriage then becomes a Christian virtue, and a sweet surrender. Few recognize, much less question this confusion, even when its consequences are unhealthy. In Sweet Surrender Dennis Hiebert challenges Christians to comprehend what is cultural in their view of marriage, hold as optional what is not explicitly required by the Bible, and live out their marriages within the transcendent grace of God. Gaining greater awareness can free marriages from the control of culture for something more simply but deeply Christian. Marriages benefit when they are released from cultural directives that are not biblical callings, even if they choose to retain them as cultural practices. This book is for Christians who are ready to rethink their assumptions about marriage.

Sweet Surrender by Cheryl Holt Pdf

Jackson Scott has returned to England -- after swearing he never would. A decade earlier, he fled to Egypt, seeking fame and fortune as an African adventurer. But his brother, the Earl of Milton, has died, and Jackson has been named guardian to the man's young son. He's chafing at the designation. He doesn't want to assist his bumbling nephew, doesn't want to deal with his scheming sister-in-law or domineering mother. Yet he can't resist their incessant pull. When beautiful, alluring Grace Bennett arrives unexpectedly at Milton Abbey, she has a young boy with her who she claims is her ward. She tells a fantastical tale about Jackson's brother. It's the story of a secret wedding. Of a secret love child finally brought home where he belongs. Of one boy who isn't the earl and one boy who is. Against his will, Jackson is attracted to Grace, and because he wants her so desperately, he can't decide what is real, what is true. As their worlds collide and their ardor ignites, Jackson must separate fact from fiction, must learn the truth about Grace, despite where it might lead him. Enmeshed in a risky and clandestine affair, his passion for her grows, but so does the danger from those who would keep them apart.

Sweet Surrender by Teresa Shields Parker Pdf

Christians can be bound for heaven and stuck in strongholds at the same time. When we believe lies, they grow into strongholds that keep us from the destiny God wants for us. Teresa Shields Parker explores this in her sixth book drawn from her personal journey of losing over 250 pounds. "We all have times when we believe things like I don't matter, I'm not valued, I can't go on, I am a failure, God can't use me and so much more," she says. "These lies helped me gain up to 430 pounds and kept me there for many years. Embracing what seemed like God's secret, mysterious truths helped set me free to surrender to Him completely." This issue-focused memoir is relevant to any life-controlling issue we have including addictions of all kinds and issues with relationships, careers, shame, anger, food issues and so much more. When we think we can't do without something it has become a stronghold in our life. Teresa found this to be true for her with foods made with sugar and flour as major ingredients. They became comfort foods which she used to alleviate any emotion she didn't want to deal with. These foods seem to call to her and she couldn't say no. She discovered that she was a sugar addict, something she didn't even realize was possible. Knowing this helped her understand the gravity of her issue. She found that she couldn't overcome this on her own. She needed God's strength which would only come when she totally surrendered processed sugar to Him and let Him lead her on her weight loss journey. God, though, doesn't want us to be captive to anything, much less a food substance. The mental strongholds that tell us we must have these things are what He wants to set us free from. They have become strongholds in our lives that He will help us break. The big question is, will we let Him? Included in Sweet Surrender are action steps and questions to help you, the reader, learn the source of your strongholds and how to work with God to see them broken. This book will help transform you from the inside out.

Sweet Surrender by Mary Moody Pdf

Pan Macmillan has been on a long and very successful journey with Mary Moody. The trilogy of books describing her escape from mid-life crises - Au Revoir, Last Tango in Toulouse and The Long Hot Summer - has reached a generation of Australian women. In her book Sweet Surrender, after all of her escapades and adventures, Mary has come full circle and has embraced surrendering to the inevitable. Surrendering to ageing, to the pull of family, to the happiness derived from a life that is centred on others as well as herself, and to the undeniable influence of her parents and her family on the person she is. It's been a journey that has taught her a lot, but in the end the needs of her family - her four children and her grandchildren - turned out to be a lot more important than her French affairs.At the heart of Sweet Surrender, Mary challenges the illusion of eternal youth that's attributed to the baby boomer generation and the idea that she can obtain complete happiness by living life putting her own needs first. Yet like in her other books, she does so in a very personal way, describing how she herself was drawn in by the notion of denying the ageing process and by living life without the burden of obligation to the needs of others. That was until events in her life conspired to make her realise that you can't just run away from the essence of who you are, and that the most satisfying moment in life can be experienced when fulfilling the needs of those who you love.

Sweet Surrender by Naima Simone Pdf

From the moment Hayden Reynolds approaches Griffin Sutherland in the local, Florida dive bar, all he can think about is fisting her dark curls and stroking those gorgeous curves. But hell would freeze over before she allowed him to touch her because she's the woman he left behind five years earlier. And now she's there to deliver a message--an ultimatum--from his estranged father. Blackmail forces Griffin, black sheep of his powerful Texas family, back home to play nice. But the terms of his bargain say nothing about not satisfying his need for the woman he's never forgotten...never stopped wanting... Hayden is no longer the naive girl who once believed he and a maid's daughter could live happily ever after. Griffin broke her all those years ago, but she forced herself to pick up the pieces and move on. Now he's back in Texas, acting the part of the proper, dutiful son. But there's nothing proper about the detailed--dirty--descriptions of how he wants to touch her...take her... Though her body heats every time he's near, she refuses to surrender to his special brand of passion. Griffin may have returned home, but he's leaving again. And this time he won't take her heart with him...
