Biblical fiction retelling of Noah and the Ark.
Zara and Noah have walked together with the Creator for their entire lives, and they have done their best in an increasingly wicked and defiant world to raise their three sons to follow in their footsteps. It has been a challenge--and it's about to get much, much harder.
When the Creator tells her husband to build an ark to escape the coming wrath against the sins of humankind, Zara steps out with him in faith. But the derision and sabotage directed their way from both friends and extended family are difficult to bear, as is knowing that everyone she interacts with beyond her husband, her sons, and their wives is doomed to destruction. And when the ark is finally finished and the animals have been shut up inside, Zara and her family embark on an adventure that will test their patience and their faith as they await deliverance and dry ground.
Experience the story of Noah and the flood like you never have before. With bestselling and award-winning author Jill Eileen Smith as your guide, you'll never look at a rainbow the same way again.
The Bible retold in plain English in 365 short stories. A complete
overview of the story of the Bible, from Creation to the very end of
time. Each story has a background note and a prayer, to inspire and to
inform. Beautifully illustrated with full colour photography throughout.
Conquer Your Mountains is a 52-week devotional for Christian
professionals who want to make a difference and see life from a higher
perspective. It contains contemplative prayers, self-reflection exercises,
thought provoking messages and a fictional allegory of a spiritual
journey with God.
This book is designed to help the reader understand and engage with
the invisible and almighty works of God in their daily lives. Even though
the symbol and theme of mountains are used throughout this powerful
book, it is not a book about nature but rather a book about the divine
nature of God and who we are to Him as his creations.
As the reader engages with each of the 52 weeks in this devotional, a
deep transformational work will begin that may positively change the
readers’ outlook on God, life, finance, work, relationships, purpose, and
everything else.
Why is suffering the common lot of all people everywhere - believers
and non-believers alike - and why does it seem that the world is out of
control when it comes to the problem of pain and suffering?
These are not easy questions, and in reality, you will never know the
answers completely until you see our Lord face to face in heaven.
Nevertheless, the Bible does give you some answers.
Who’s in Charge of a World that Suffers? includes an informative and
inspirational new introduction by Franklin Graham that speaks to
today’s reader in the midst of painful circumstances.
In this book, originally titled Till Armageddon, world-renowned
evangelist Billy Graham uncovers the clues the scriptures offer you to
this universal question--the question of suffering. Readers will
discover what the Bible says about:
- Why Christians are not exempt from suffering
- Living above your circumstances
- The place of prayer in suffering
- God’s promises for those who suffer
- And much more
Christians are called to learn what it means to trust God in every
circumstance, and to live for Him no matter what comes our way. It is
essential to think more clearly about suffering, and to rearrange your
priorities so that when your personal armageddons come, you will not be
taken by surprise or be unprepared. Christian readers, pastors, Bible
study leaders, and anyone questioning where God fits into suffering
will find encouragement in this message of hope for a broken world.
A Daily Dose of Scripture Does the Spirit Good
As a young adult, you face specific opportunities and challenges.
Maintaining a Christian approach to life while you carve your personal
niche and build a career or family environment isn’t easy.
Do you ever wish someone would write you a letter with life
instructions?
Originally written to his children and grandchildren,A.T. Scott, who
has taught Bible studies for more than 50 years, handpicked these 365
messages to help you survive and thrive as a believer in today’s
culture by pairing daily Scripture passages with practical suggestions
and applications for everyday life.
A new, but ancient, way to pray can turn your life around. Discover
how to experience God's love at your core, freeing you to love
others, and even yourself. When biblical scholar and coach Brian
Russell discovered centering prayer at a difficult crossroad in his
life, he had no idea how his life would change. "Sensing God's love
for me has been so transformational that it almost feels as though
I've experienced conversion all over again," he writes. He became
calmer, less anxious, less reactive, freed of past wounds, and a
better listener in the presence of others. Centering prayer, also
known as the prayer of silence, helps you quiet your mind from the
constant thoughts and impulses, and frees your true self to
experience more of God's love in the very core of your being. This
inviting guide gives you practical tools to make centering prayer a
consistent habit in your life, gives the history and theological
foundation for the practice, and helps identify and overcome common
obstacles. Beginners, as well as seasoned practitioners, will gain
inspiration, rich insight, and practical knowledge of a
contemplative prayer practice that can open you up to deep
experiences of inner healing and peace.
