After tragedy strikes the family of young Naomi Miller, her
friend Rebecca Bachman does all she can to help. But things get
complicated when Rebecca's brother, Micah, returns from a combat
tour in Afghanistan. For one thing, he chose to serve in the
military even though he served as a medic and never picked up a
gun. For another, he is under the Meidung--the shunning-- because
of that and none of the Amish are permitted to speak to him or eat
with him. And finally, he is not only Rebecca's brother, he is
Naomi's husband But how can Naomi pick up where their marriage left
off after he turned away from her and his people to enlist in the
army? How can Naomi and Micah even begin the process of healing
their relationship when he will not repent of what he has done and
the Amish will not forgive him for what he has done? Naomi despairs
of ever again having a happy married life with her husband.
But God has a way of working on the hearts of His
people--especially at Christmas time. When an unexpected turn of
events sets things right, miracles happen to the Amish community,
to the Miller family, and to Naomi and Micah, miracles that
transform everyone.
Here is warm and tender story of faithfulness, love, and
reconciliation at the most wonderful time of the year.
Mingling personal anecdotes with Scriptural wisdom in Streams:
Seeking God in the Waters of Scripture, author and pastor Murray
Pura explores the many ways water is portrayed in the Bible. From
creation---when the earth was formed from water---to its possession
by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob for their flocks. From the exodus and
the parting of the Red Sea to the time of the prophet Elisha and
the healing of Namaan the Syrian in the Jordan River. From the rise
of the kingdom under David to the fall of the kingdom and Israel's
exile by the waters of Babylon. In all these dramatic events, and
many more, Pura demonstrates how the physical and symbolic
representation of water in ancient Scripture offers you, as a
modern Christian, new insights about following Christ. Best-
Selling author Murray Pura also examines how water was used in
Jesus' ministry: Jesus was baptized in water, walked on water,
turned water into wine, and healed with water. Understanding the
symbolism of water is key to understanding Scripture. You will
meditate on: * The Red Sea's challenging waters .... How do we
conquer obstacles? * The rivers of Babylon and their waters of
darkness ... How do we handle tragedy and suffering? * Streams in
the desert and the waters of rejuvenation ...What do we do when our
spiritual lives are dry? * And much, much more. This refreshing new
book will help you discover the deeper meanings of water in
Scripture and better understand the life-giving power of a
Christian life.
