Recognizing that human experience is very much influenced by
inhabiting bodies, the past decade has seen a surge in studies
about representation of bodies in religious experience and human
imaginations regarding the Divine. The understanding of embodiment
as central to human experience has made a big impact within
religious studies particularly in contemporary Christian theology,
feminist, cultural and ideological criticism and anthropological
approaches to the Hebrew Bible. Within the sub-field of theology of
the Hebrew Bible, the conversation is still dominated by
assumptions that the God of the Hebrew Bible does not have a body
and that embodiment of the divine is a new concept introduced
outside of the Hebrew Bible. To a great extent, the insights
regarding how body discourse can communicate information have not
yet been incorporated into theological studies.
Entering the human race, we walk out into a world, searching for
fulfillment. In our pursuit, we struggle with emotional
insecurities and faulty relationships. Eventually we find ourselves
in a society filled with broken people where many weary travelers
are on the same endless quest for peace and well-being. In The
Search Stops Here, the author gives details of her personal
experiences with depression, anxiety, anger, and suicide. Sharing
her journey toward restoration, she explores the root causes of
defeat, aiding in figuring out our frustrations and our hurt. She
addresses life issues such as control and expectations and provides
practical and proven processes for an improved level of health and
wholeness. Debbie Calvert insists that the damage of rejection can
be repaired, the fight to conquer inferiority ended, and the pain
of troubling emotions relieved. Tackling foundational beliefs, the
author shows how thought processes affect our behaviors and
strongly suggests the need of new "house rules." This book offers
convincing evidence of an alternative route - one which is more
effective in offering nurture and love, human nature's absolute
necessity. Stressing the importance of living one day at a time and
better understanding true success, The Search Stops Here challenges
us to stop our tiring efforts and end our lifelong search.

Beverly Jane Phillips grew up in a Christian family, married a
minister, and served with him in four separate parishes. She was
one of the first women in the Presbyterian Church to earn a master
of divinity degree. But even during this amazing life, Beverly had
trials and days when she did not feel her Lord by her side. She had
days when she felt doubt-sometimes even despair. To combat these
days of darkness and bring her closer to God, Beverly began a daily
prayer journal. For over thirty years, she wrote her morning
prayers in spiral notebooks; these became the basis for "From
Heaven to My Heart, " a collection of prayers from an ordinary
Christian woman who lived an extraordinary life. Beverly's
transparency about her own spiritual journey not only enlightens
but also encourages, sharing the message that even the devout
encounter moments of difficulty in their faith. Through those
difficulties difficulty arise inspiration, insight, wisdom-and
faith in an everlasting, benevolent creator. Whether you are
interested in beginning a journey with God, or seeking
encouragement to continue, "From Heaven to My Heart" will become a
valued companion.
Of course a great pair of heels will make any women feel confident
in herself. Standards in Stilletos is a collection of Jazmin's blog
articles and encouraging quotes. The articles promote female
empowerment, self-love, respect for ourselves as women, and never
allowing yourself to be disrespected. The articles put things in to
perspective for women everywhere on how they can build up their
self-esteem and happiness. The articles also touch on relationships
and how women should refrain from selling themselves a dream by
lowering standards or creating standards that are too high. The
book illistrates that relationships require hard work,
determination, and respect on all levels. In order for women to be
able to love, they must find the love for themselves.
The greatest need of professing Christians today is a better,
deeper, and fuller knowledge of Christ. The Christian life can be
described as getting to know God better every day. Every Christian
should regularly?daily?read the Word of God. We should find time
for quiet time or personal devotion. For over 20 years I have been
using commentaries in my devotions. The blessings derived from the
commentaries is overwhelming. I am writing this commentary to share
some of those blessings and lessons I have learned over the years.
The Caucasian people do not live or die in vain, they have earned
their place in this world "Blessed are the Caucasians" John Rolland
In September 2002 she married the man of her dreams. In June 2005
they purchased their home in paradise. It was the perfect love
nest, the kind of home most people can only dream about. Their
private get-a-way was nestled in 5.75 acres of plush exotic land,
with a towering forest of landscape and natural habitat,
overlooking several creeks and streams with breath taking sunset
views from every angle. It was secretly hidden from the world, a
place where deer's and rabbits seek refuge; where the falcons
soared and roamed freely without fear of discovery. It was the
summer of their lives, with a newly built wrap-around deck that lit
up the night. They were the envy of all their friends and
neighbors. Until one day the perfect dream they once shared came
crashing down around them Their once perfect marriage would be put
to the test. Voluntary humility is an honor and privilege best
served with a willing, sincere and open heart. To be humbled by
God, is an indescribable devastation of heartache and pain for
which they would soon discover. September 2009 the flood they once
mocked and avoided two years prior, returns with a wicked
vengeance, only this time it would take most of the city and their
home in paradise with it Being homeless with only the clothes on
their backs, they did not sin nor did they charge God with wrong.
They were hard-pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed,
but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but
not destroyed. In this faith based book, Bernita Weston shares with
the world how they were able to turn their tragedy into triumph.

word can enjoy "GOD' KINGDOM PROSPERITY
