Die gevangene in die derde sel is 'n boek vir almal wat omstandighede ervaar wat hulle nie verstaan nie. Dit is die dramatiese verhaal van Johannes die Doper wat in die gevangenis worstel om 'n Here wat nie aan sy verwagtings voldoen het nie, te verstaan.
This book is an investment not only for your immediate future but for your eternal future. The scriptures in this devotional helped me get through a difficult time in my life. Through my pain, I experience peace. You too can find peace, if you seek peace. As you go through your daily devotional you will find weekly "walk" scriptures strategically placed for your encouragement. Not Shown are 365 photos to brighten your day or night and to help bring to remembrance the Word of God. We had such an amazing time studying God's Word and having Him illuminate his encouraging, thought-provoking, peaceful and comforting words to our hearts as we pined the words to paper. Isaiah 55:11 says, "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing which I sent it." NKJV As you go from day to day or night to night, you too can start experiencing life in a 'new' light. It does not matter if you are not currently "walking" with God, if you are just starting to "walk" with God or if you have been "walking" with Him for years. You will receive and experience your blessing(s) as you turn the page to a new day each day of your life from year to year. This will be the one book you will need to get you through to the next year.
From beloved spiritual writer and Catholic leader Gregory Floyd
comes a moving meditation on the power of memory and how God is
often more clearly seen when we look back. This is a book about
memory, about what stays in the mind, and why. It is a book about
the presence of God in our lives and the sights, sounds, words, and
experiences that become unforgettable. Beginning with a single word
he heard in the middle of the night-one that changed his life-this
powerful memoir by Gregory Floyd asks the question: without memory,
who are we? It is a meditation on beauty, marriage, family, and
prayer, asking of the memories that each implants: what do they
reveal? Where do they lead? -and witnessing to their potential to
draw us to God.

This book is an illuminating guide on critical, sensitive and
salvation-based topics that will intrigue, educate, inspire and
above all promote the doctrine of salvation as the focal point of
the entire Bible. The book highlights the fact that humanity's
greatest need has never been the food that satiates his hunger, the
building that gives him shelter, the status that makes him relevant
or anything that caters to his physical needs, albeit it consists
of topics that discuss humanity's daily needs and how they can be
acquired in line with God's word. It adequately emphasises that the
salvation of souls constitutes the greatest need and should occupy
the top echelon of our priorities. The scripture says that faith
comes by hearing and hearing the word of God (Romans 10:17). But
what happens when the word is not correctly taught, or correctly
taught but not completely broken down and hence not properly
understood? This book breaks down biblical lessons in a manner that
will be easily understood by readers. Many have read the Bible and
taught from it wrongly because they missed the central theme of the
Bible which is the salvation of our souls but the words in this
book have been written to help the reader avoid reading the Bible
amiss and achieve this precious and priceless gift - salvation -
that will make existence in this world a meaningful one. The
lessons readers will learn are drawn from the context of the
scriptures, the express commands of God and from the lives and
experiences of several biblical characters. Readers are made to
examine some biblical characters' strengths and flaws, successes
and failures and extract valuable lessons that will guide them on
the journey through life. While people can scan through the Bible
and get a general understanding of the stories within these
chapters, this book will draw the readers' attention to vital
lessons they may not have noticed.

A coming-of-age travel memoir that probes thorny spiritual
questions while taking the reader on a wild ride from the deep
American South to the Middle East, Europe, and the Far East. Once
the golden girl of her Arkansas town, Natalie finds herself
squeezed under small town shame and rejection after being kicked
out of church for getting a divorce. It's a hard fall off of a
sanctimonious high horse, and religious fundamentalism has left her
feeling broken and stuck. But she can't shake the 'wanderlust woes'
that have plagued her since childhood, so she runs away to the
Middle East. As a mostly-sheltered Southerner, she struggles to
adapt but is determined to be 'at home' in the world. Her journey
is more than a pilgrimage, it's a peregrination: a one-way ticket
to elsewhere in search of the place of her own resurrection. Within
these pages is a suspenseful adventure filled with love, loss,
laughter, tears, and a little bit of scandalous behavior, but at
the heart of it, Natalie walks squarely into the unknown to
confront the secret matters of the soul that we wrestle with at
night.
