Does God really exist and do divine miracles really happen? At a
time when many are searching for truth and questioning whether
there really is a God, Burnt Stone provides an inspirational
account of several divine encounters personally experienced by the
author Virginia Douglas (Howe). In part one of this book Virginia
seeks to explain sound Biblical truths about the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit, together with powerful testimonies of her own
personal experiences with the Lord. In part two she shares her own
personal life story in a way that is both candid and compelling.
She manages to demonstrate genuine gratitude and a healthy dose of
humour despite all that she has been through. Burnt Stone
communicates a very timely message that no matter what setbacks you
experience in life, it is possible to overcome them all by trusting
in the Lord and believing in His Word. It provides clear evidence
that God still heals and delivers today and that He remains the
same yesterday, today and forever. Virginia Douglas (Howe) is an
anointed woman of God, a prayer warrior, an intercessor and a
teacher who serves as an appointed elder in her local church. Born
in Jamaica in the 1940s, she has experienced numerous personal
challenges throughout her life, almost losing her life on several
occasions. Since accepting Christ in the late 1980s, she is now
dedicated to serving God and sharing her personal testimony to
inspire others to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.
One of the great privileges we have as Christians is finding favor
from the Lord. Yet our understanding of "favor" can be off. We are
sometimes told it's all about us--that God gave us that house, that
car, that job so we can have all we need. But his provision doesn't
stop with us. In this fascinating, empowering book, Gary Wilkerson,
pastor and president of World Challenge, paints a bigger, brighter,
and more biblical picture of what God's favor is. He shows how our
loving Father showers his abundant resources upon us--things like
forgiveness, restoration, peace, joy, power, and authority--not
only to bless us with a favored, happy life, but for us to joyfully
demonstrate this favor to others, whether they are friends, family,
or strangers on the street. Because God's favor is not meant to end
with us--it is meant to show the beauty of his unearned grace to a
hurting, unbelieving world.
Where did the world come from? When did it begin? Where is it
headed? What are we here for? What does it all mean? And what is
the next evolutionary leap?
Diarmuid O'Murchu offers exciting answers -- and other
intriguing questions -- in this popular synthesis of science,
theology, and spirituality. As a species, humanity stands on a new
evolutionary threshold. O'Murchu deconstructs old paradigms and
reveals new horizons that offer vision and hope not only for the
future but for the present. Like Quantum Theology, Evolutionary
Faith is a groundbreaking book for our times.
