When He came to earth, Jesus Christ was rejected in every quarter
in which He stepped. The Creator was rejected by His own creation.
"He came to His own and His own received Him not," said John. For
this reason, Jesus Christ had "no where to lay His head." There was
one exception, however. A little village just outside of Jerusalem
named "Bethany. "Bethany was the only place on earth where Jesus
was completely received.
"
God's Favorite Place on Earth" is a retelling of Jesus' many visits
to Bethany and a relaying of the message it holds for us today.
Frank Viola presents a beautifully crafted narrative from the
viewpoint of Lazarus, one of the people who lived in Bethany with
his two sisters. This incomparable story not only brings the Gospel
narratives to life, but it addresses the struggle against doubt,
discouragement, fear, guilt, rejection, and spiritual apathy that
challenges countless Christians today. In profoundly moving prose,
"God's Favorite Place on Earth" will captivate your heart with its
beauty, charm, and depth. In this book you will discover how to
live as a "Bethany" in our world today, being set free to love and
follow Jesus like never before.
Through a series of events taken from her own life, Bailey here
demonstrates that the power of God is still alive and well, and
that miracles are not confined to the Old Testament. Through her
belief in God, she has been chosen to witness certain visions and
signs of His love in order to provide comfort and guidance to
herself and her loved ones.
"Jesus only is our message"; this line from an old hymn is at the
heart of Michael Dada's message. In this short book he sets out to
explain exactly who Jesus is, and what he can do for us. He brings
light and peace and healing. He brings life. Using Scripture
passages from the traditional King James Version, this book
contains the authentic voice of a man who is passionate about his
Lord, and what he believes his Lord can do for you!
The most significant act of love we can do for our spouse is the single act of taking personal responsibility--or "the power of one." We cannot reach satisfaction in our marriage relationships if we don't first look at ourselves and see where we need to change. Personal responsibility is the fuel that drives the actions of a healthy marriage.
Usually, each spouse blames the other for their problems; this attitude only leads down a path of unfulfilled expectations and heartache. But marriages can be transformed, literally overnight, when a husband or wife learns the power of one. By accepting personal responsibility for their own emotions and reactions, spouses can learn how to love their mates to the fullest and create a stronger marriage relationship--with the power of one.

her? Full-length, standalone Clean romance Happily ever after

""'Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be
food in my """house. Test me in this, ' says the Lord Almighty,
'and see if I will not"" """throw open the floodgates of heaven and
pour out so much blessing that""" """"you will not have room enough
for it.'""""" -- Malachi 3:1 0
In these uncertain economic times, does it really make sense to
tithe?
Douglas LeBlanc thinks the answer is clear enough in Malachi 3:10,
where God goes so far as to tell us, "Test me in this." The people
profiled in this book have done exactly that--and the effect on
their lives has been dramatic.
In these intimate journalistic portraits, LeBlanc shows us true
tithing in action. From members of the clergy, to best-selling
authors, to social activists both conservative and liberal, these
are the lives of real people who tithe in joy and plenty, in the
face of poverty and natural disaster, in community and missionally,
and as a spiritual practice commanded by God. They come from
different backgrounds and live in varying degrees of financial
comfort; but they all tithe--and wouldn't have it any other way.
Through their eyes, we come to understand this ancient practice as
God's call to a life of generosity, compassion, and joy.
"""""THE ANCIENT PRACTICES"""""
There is a hunger in every human heart for connection, primitive
and raw, to God. To satisfy it, many are beginning to explore
traditional spiritual disciplines used for centuries. . .everything
from fixed-hour prayer to fasting to sincere observance of the
Sabbath. Compelling and readable, the """"""Ancient Practices""""""
series is for every spiritual sojourner, for every Christian seeker
who wants more.
If you feel your faith in God could do with a boost then this is
the book for you. It will show you that God responds when we have
faith in Him and in His word
Christians are engaged in the ultimate battle-the battle for the
heart. The overwhelming influences of the media, materialism, and
selfish ambition threaten to decay even the most tender of hearts.
While the world screams to the contrary, every Christian must fight
to maintain a clear conscience and discover what it really means to
have the heart of God. On the heels of his New York Times
bestseller "Mind Siege," Tim LaHaye, with Ed Hindson, equip readers
with armor to guard their hearts and draw nearer to God. Some
chapter titles include: The Battle for the Heart The Ultimate
Deception The Erosion of Trust A Prescription for the Heart Finding
God's Heart
