A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR From the New York Times-bestselling author of The Cloister Walk, a book about Christianity, spirituality, and rediscovered faith. Struggling with her return to the Christian church after many years away, Kathleen Norris found it was the language of Christianity that most distanced her from faith. Words like "judgment," "faith," "dogma," "salvation," "sinner"—even "Christ"—formed what she called her "scary vocabulary," words that had become so codified or abstract that their meanings were all but impenetrable. She found she had to wrestle with them and make them her own before they could confer their blessings and their grace. Blending history, theology, storytelling, etymology, and memoir, Norris uses these words as a starting point for reflection, and offers a moving account of her own gradual conversion. She evokes a rich spirituality rooted firmly in the chaos of everyday life—and offers believers and doubters alike an illuminating perspective on how we can embrace ancient traditions and find faith in the contemporary world.
Often times you have heard and said the famous phrase, "The devil is busy!" So many of God's children focus their energy on fighting Satan for the works of our own hand, because the devil is not that busy as we suppose but we are often time the problem.
Dont Take It Personally was written in hopes of having readers take a deeper look into areas where blessings may be hidden. In our lives there are occurrences that we may take for granted. The Lord sends us opportunities to grow and to be blessed. Blessings do not always come in packages that are obvious. They are often in new places we visit or new people we meet. Sometimes we walk away from someone or something that God was attempting to use to bring us closer to Him. It is imperative to look beyond our immediate comfort zones. We should also search for things that are within us or near us. We should keep our hearts open to the Lord and keep our hearts open to His promptings; He will never steer us wrongly. We understand that when God closes one door, He opens another. God also moves and removes. He prompts us to update our lives as He sees fit. God can use benign meetings with other people to give us information. There are never any accidents when we move from one place to the next. Everywhere He places us represents new challenges. The Bible was written by people who are similar to people of today. The Lord moved them from one place to another to fulfill His will.
"Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First, be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift." Matthew 5:23-24"Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows" Galatians 6:7"Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good." 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21 "For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect." Matthew 24:[email protected]
Many believers wrongly harbor resentment against God for tragedies in their lives. This important minibook points out where tragedies really come from and who our Deliverer really is!
This resource addresses what is probably the top question most people have about God: If He is a loving God, why is there such tragedy and rampant human suffering? The text exposes the myth that God is totally in control of all that happens (which would make Him responsible for it) and shows that He and His Son Jesus Christ are doing all they can to intervene in the realm of Satan's authority.
