This book is the first of its kind from a lifetime of research
which started out during the bombing raids by the Germans in 1941
(During World War 2 in Plymouth, England, the second most heavily
bombed city in England) Victor traces his remarkable journey over a
period of 65 years!! The book offers ample proof that the 'god' YOU
think exists - DOESN'T EXIST AT ALL! Christians reading this
bookwill find out just how ignorant they are about their
bibles.This ignorance has 'brainwashed' over 4 billion people onthe
planet and more than 80% of the American population. This book is
dedicated to Universal Mind, UniversalIntelligence and Universal
Law, from which these truths arereleased with the hope that the
'brainwashed' religionistswill at least have an opportunity to
embrace the TRUTH.
This inspirational story comes from a lot of pain, difficult
circumstances, and trying times. I have cried many tears in my
lifetime, too many for someone who is only forty-eight. But God has
helped me through each and every challenge along the way. I invite
you to enter into my feelings, thoughts, and emotions as you read
my autobiography.
True story of love and learning between people of different
cultures. It inspires courage, and trust in God much as Corrie Ten
Boom does in "The Hiding Place."
What fears are standing in your way or holding you back? How do you want to become stronger? Olympic and World champion hurdler Sydney McLaughlin wants to help you answer these questions as she shares her personal story of struggles and victories, of faith and transformation.
Sydney McLaughlin knows about facing down obstacles. She has mastered not only racing over hurdles on the track but also tackling challenges in her personal life—from lifelong battles with perfectionism and anxiety to persistent questions about her identity and whether she was "enough."
Her pursuit of perfection and people-pleasing continued for years until God broke into her story with his overwhelming grace, transforming love, and empowering truth.
In Far Beyond Gold, Sydney will share aspects of her life story and personhood she has never shared publicly before, offering a more complex picture of who she is.
She will inspire you to:
- Conquer your fears in Christ's strength
- Stand strong in your identity in him
- Push past your perceived limits
- Overcome the challenges you're facing
Experience the story of a woman who shifted from anxiety to boldness, from limits to freedom, and from perfectionism to purpose—and now shows the world that often what we think is impossible is possible with God.
"Thornwell (1812-1862) was one of the greatest preachers that
America has ever produced. Here, I think, we have the perfect
combination of brilliance of intellect and profound theological and
philosophical knowledge, together with pulpit eloquence of the
highest order." - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones
What was distinctive about Christian biography in late antiquity?
In this book, Dr Williams examines a range of biographies of
prominent Christians written in the fourth and fifth centuries, and
suggests that they share a purpose and function which sets them
apart from their non-Christian equivalents. This was an age in
which the lives of saints first emerged as a literary phenomenon,
and a broad perspective on this developing genre is complemented by
close readings of more problematic works such as Eusebius of
Caesarea's Life of Constantine and the Confessions of Augustine of
Hippo. In including such idiosyncratic examples, the aim is to
provide a definition of Christian biography which extends beyond
mere hagiography, and which expresses a new understanding of the
world and the place of individuals within it. It was a world in
which lives might be authored by Christians, but could be
authorised only by God.
"Dressed in her Catholic school uniform, a pleated, plaid skirt and
sweater, in comes Jessica, a sweet, gentle looking eleven year old
child, with an adult size burden hidden under the sweater that sits
upon her shoulders . Dad shakily reaches out and takes Jessica's
hand . The older man dying from cancer completes the circle of
healing by taking the hand of the young girl about to enter
intensive cancer treatment. The man in the twilight of his life
gives some of his remaining energy to help heal the girl in the
dawn of hers." With these words, we are all welcomed into the
circle of Rabbi Herbert Morris' incredible life. His love, warmth
and devotion to his family, community and Jewish heritage shines
through this emotional narrative written by his daughter, using
events, stories, sermons and letters from her father's life. This
man lived every day wondering what he could do to be a blessing to
others. Reading his story, we are all blessed to have encountered
him.
"Cloud by Day, Fire by Night" offers a modern-day parable of one
man's choices and the attitudes that can make the difference
between success and failure. Sportsman, businessman, entrepreneur,
devoted husband, and father, author Dennis Hurst found himself in
the depths of despair following a devastating divorce. From the
thrills of an early professional soccer career to the life of a
high-flying business executive and head of a start-up retail
business, he suddenly had to begin his life anew at the age of
fifty-two. Sitting alone on the only piece of furniture in an
apartment hurriedly rented with his last two thousand dollars, he
pondered his fate.
Staring vacantly out the curtainless window as the drizzle
outside turned into a steady downpour, he began to take stock of
his life. As one who had experienced the exhilaration and rewards
of professional sports, the perks and privileges of being a
business executive, along with the prestige and position that such
a lifestyle allows, he found his new, lowly station in life both
unexpected and depressing. Or was it? To the world's way of
thinking, it seemed to be; it was one step away from living out on
the street, under a bridge, fighting for survival-a total
unmitigated disaster.
Fortunately for Hurst, God had him exactly where he needed him
and set him off on his personal journey of rediscovery.
