An Unlikely Missionary Dispels the Myth That
Miracles Happen Only in Africa
Michele Perry may be an unlikely person to start a missionary
orphanage in war-torn Sudan. Born without her left hip and leg, she
is no stranger to overwhelming impossibility. She's learned from
childhood to rely fully on God, who constantly surprises her--and
she and her Sudanese children, more than one hundred of them, have
witnessed him moving in miraculous and wondrous ways again and
again.
Here she shares some of these amazing, inspiring stories. More than
that, she shows how readers can genuinely, fully experience God in
their everyday lives--whether in Africa or at home, wherever they
are. She helps them understand what he looks like, what it means to
hear his voice, what it's like to see a vision, and how to
recognize the holy in the ordinary. With these practical keys,
believers will be able to open the floodgates of life changing,
supernatural encounters with God.

For those who have a friend that has been devastated by the loss of
a loved one. When others care enough to rub shoulders with grieving
friends and are willing to be inconvenienced. It requires someone
to care enough to put aside cliche condolences and stick close
through a long grieving process. An individual's grief can never be
'fixed'. But friends can wash a sink full of dishes, listen, go
along on a cemetery visit. Sharing another's grief is not about
'fixing-it'- it's about showing up.Harold Ivan Smith, popular
speaker and grief educator, guides others to respond with their
heart. He shows tangible, meaningful ways to make a significant
difference as one journeys through grief with someone they care
about.
Why are so many of us fighting the same old battles instead of
living the life God intends for us? It's time to learn how to use
the weapons God has already provided for us to find success in
every area of life. Unpacking the full armor of God described in
Ephesians 6, Linda Evans Shepherd offers insight into why we feel
resistance when we try to find and follow our purpose and shows us
how to break through our daily spiritual battles to live a
victorious life now.
The male is in crisis. Traditional roles once gave men stability and
continuity from generation to generation. Today, the world is sending
out conflicting signals about what it means to be a man. Many men are
questioning who they are and what roles they fulfill in life--as a
male, a husband, and a father--leaving them frustrated and causing them
to live far below their potential. Best-selling author Dr. Myles Munroe
examines cultural attitudes toward men and addresses critical issues
such as:
- How can men gain their footing in the ever-shifting
environment of cultural expectations?
- What does it mean to be male?
- What definition of masculinity should men adopt?
- What roles should men fulfill--in the workplace and in the
home?
- What do gender roles have to do with the male's purpose?
- What are the differences between males and females?
- How are men and women meant to relate to one another?
- How can a man build a better life for himself, his family,
and the world?
When men understand the purpose God has given them and the true design
of their relationship with women, they will be free to fulfill their
destiny and potential. Expanded edition with study guide material
included.het.

Internationally renowned Bible teacher Joyce Meyer draws on her own history of abuse to show women how Christ's redeeming love heals emotional wounds and brings joy to life.
Can a woman who has been deeply hurt by life's circumstances be healed, heart and soul? If she has been wounded by a man she loved and trusted, can she love and trust again? As a woman who endured years of abuse, abandonment, and betrayal by those closest to her, Joyce Meyer can answer with a resounding "yes!"
Meyer's positivity comes from living her own journey, and from seeing so many women who don't believe they can fully overcome their pain--or even know where to begin--find the guidance they need in the life-changing wisdom of the Bible.
Meyer's bestseller Beauty for Ashes told of her personal story of healing. Now, with the passage of more time, HEALING THE SOUL OF A WOMAN delves deeper into Joyce's story and the journey of healing for all women. Each chapter guides you through whatever obstacles may be holding you back to find your true destiny as God's beloved. God can heal all pain, and He wants to do this in you. Let HEALING THE SOUL OF A WOMAN be the first step toward the wonderful, joyful future God intends for you.
Kan eet teruggeëis word as heilige daad, deels met die wete dat jy nooit
geïsoleerd is nie, selfs al voel dit so?
Hedendaagse verbruikerskultuur vergeet die onsigbare, minag die ontasbare en
maak ’n bespotting van die geringe. Is daar ’n lewegewende alternatief vir hierdie
kultuur? Ons kan dit verander deur Christelike spiritualiteit en die keuse om
aandagtig en bewustelik te lewe. Jy kan dit doen by ’n tafel – jy kan ’n sinnelose,
bedwelmde bestaan ontkom en jy kan sien en hoor wat jy nooit sal sien en hoor
as jy slegs ’n gewone verbruiker bly nie. Begin deur bewustelik te eet. Kyk na jou
bord, asem die reuke in, kyk saam met wie eet jy, besef dat iets moes sterf vir
daardie kos om op jou bord te beland, hetsy ’n hoender of ’n wortel. Die tafel is
die verbindingsplek, met jouself, die natuur, met ander mense en met God. Kry
balans in alles – moenie te veel eet nie, moenie te min eet nie, eet van alles, eet
volhoubaar.

Hoe en wat ons dink, het ’n geweldige invloed op ons verstandelike,
emosionele en selfs fisieke welsyn. Om die waarheid te sê, ons denke
kan ons beperk tot dit wat ons glo ons kan doen, of dit kan ons dinge
laat ervaar waarvan ons nooit kon droom nie. Wanneer ons ’n denkwyse
kies wat ons vermoëns verruim, sal ons groter intellektuele
satisfaksie, emosionele beheer en fisieke gesondheid ervaar. Die vraag
is net: Hoe?
