Readers of all ages and walks of life have drawn inspiration from
Elizabeth Gilbert's books for years. Now, this beloved author
shares her wisdom and unique understanding of creativity,
shattering the perceptions of mystery and suffering that surround
the process - and showing us all just how easy it can be. By
sharing stories from her own life, as well as those from her
friends and the people that have inspired her, Elizabeth Gilbert
challenges us to embrace our curiosity, tackle what we most love
and face down what we most fear. Whether you long to write a book,
create art, cope with challenges at work, embark on a long-held
dream, or simply to make your everyday life more vivid and
rewarding, Big Magic will take you on a journey of exploration
filled with wonder and unexpected joys.
Lovers of Japanese meditation gardens, tea ceremonies, exquisite
rice papers, and finely-bound collections of haiku will be charmed
by the look and feel of handmade paper in the jacket and endpapers,
and the tranquil Eastern sensibility of this beautiful volume in
which each exquisite verse and original woodcut expresses a
generous thought -- based on the elements of the garden -- for
making life more hopeful, beautiful, and productive. Be the wind
chime Turn storms into song Be the pebble Let time smooth you
Does the thought of doing evangelism fill you with fear and make
you want to run for the door? Do you struggle to find motivation to
share your faith? Have you had uncomfortable experiences with
evangelism that you would rather not repeat? If so, this book is
for you. God's Dream will take you on a journey to discover the
purpose God has for you in fulfilling his dream. It will inspire
you to try evangelism again no matter what your previous
experiences have been. "This is the best book I have read on
evangelism in the past ten years." Derrick, YWAM Missionary. "For
many, God's Dream will redeem the concept and practice of
evangelism. It is practical and theologically thorough." David
Webster, MA, Eastgate Church Director. "This book is a real tonic
for all of us who feel out of our depth with the big 'E'. Laced
with brilliant real life stories and examples of how easy
evangelism can be when we partner with the Holy Spirit." Mark
Hendley, Director of The Stones Cry Out. Today, more people are
becoming Christians than at any other point in history, but in
modern western culture, relatively fewer people come to know God
and many Christians struggle with evangelism. Through their
personal stories and those of others, Mark and Fiona question why
this is. They look afresh at evangelism and reimagine it from God's
perspective. They consider what can be learnt from how Jesus did
evangelism, and how he introduced people to the good news of the
kingdom. Visit www.godsdream.info to find out more about the
