Ruth Graham - daughter of beloved evangelist Billy Graham - offers
a guide for those who are hurting or those who love them. She
illustrates through personal stories and Scripture how nothing can
keep you from experiencing the fullness of God's grace. Run with
Ruth to the arms of the God you can trust, the Father God who
embraces, sustains, and redeems your brokenness. Ruth Graham has
discovered through bitter personal experience that God does his
great work in the ruins of our lives. As Ruth's life descended
through divorce, depression, and shame; as she bore heartrending
parental struggles; and as she faltered trying to make wise choices
in the wake of bad ones, she discovered the unending embrace of a
faithful, forgiving, and grace-filled God. This book surpasses the
testimony of her fascinating story as she brings sharp new insight
from the Word of God for all who fear their actions may be beyond
forgiveness or their broken circumstances may keep them from being
used by God ever again. Through the words of Jeremiah - the weeping
prophet - Ruth reveals the God who makes wasted places come to
life. You'll explore the parable of the Prodigal Son as never
before as Ruth discloses her own likeness to each character: The
indignant older brother, struggling to understand God's grace
toward her husband's infidelity The prodigal, wading through the
deep shame and painful circumstances of her own actions The father,
running to embrace her children in the midst of bulimia, drug
abuse, and unplanned pregnancy Ruth includes practical steps in
every chapter anyone can take to offer care, support, and hope to
the broken people they encounter in their lives and in the pews
beside them every Sunday.
Now a stirring movie from Paramount Pictures-starring Kate Mara
(House of Cards and Fantastic Four) and David Oyelowo (Selma)-this
inspirational, news-making life story of the young female hostage
who in 2005 single-handedly talked the infamous Atlanta courthouse
killer, Brian Nichols, into surrendering peacefully by gaining his
confidence through her prayers and personal faith and by reading
passages to him from the Christian blockbuster A Purpose Driven
Life. In March 2005, Ashley Smith made headlines around the globe
when she miraculously talked her way out of the hands of alleged
courthouse killer Brian Nichols after he took her hostage for seven
hours in her suburban Atlanta apartment. In this moving,
inspirational account, Ashley shares the details of her traumatic
ordeal and expands on how her faith and the bestselling book The
Purpose-Driven Life helped her survive and bring the killer's
murderous rampage to a peaceful end. Like her captor, Smith too has
faced darkness and despair. Seeking a new life, she moved to
Atlanta, got a job, enrolled in a medical assistant training
program, and was beginning to find her way to becoming the kind of
mom she wanted her little girl to have. Then Brian Nichols took her
hostage. Just hours earlier, he'd allegedly shot to death a judge,
a court reporter, a deputy, and a federal agent and escaped in a
stolen vehicle. Now she found herself face-to-face with Nichols, a
desperate, heavily armed man with nothing left to lose. Juxtaposing
the minute-by-minute tale of her experience with the tragedies and
triumphs of her own life, Captive is a riveting story that will
leave no reader untouched.
