ISBN: 166678981X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 79
Book Description
As a ninety-year-old, Vernon Bittner reflects on the life lessons learned through God’s amazing grace. He has experienced the healing of the trauma of abuse and the transformation of weaknesses into strengths. Grace has expressed itself through dreams with answers to his questions and the healing of his brain of PTSD. Every instance of grace is a way to feel the presence and power of God and to know that the Divine is active in one’s life and in the world. God’s grace has given him the strength to forgive the unforgivable, the courage to persevere when life seemed hopeless, the wisdom to live more consciously, the power to heal his addictions, and the serenity to appreciate his true self. Through God’s amazing grace he knows that in life or in death he belongs to God and that he is never too old to dream a new dream. Life has taught him that blessings and difficulties will come and go as part of the rhythm of life, but grace is always present. In all of its many forms, grace continues to remind him that he is protected, loved, and worthy . . . and grace will lead him home.

When God Laughs with Us
Author: David L. McKenna
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1621892816
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
Lighten up! Most of us take ourselves too seriously. Christian leaders, in particular, are tempted by the position they hold, or the power they wield, to lose touch with their humanity, become arrogant, and alienate their followers. But what about our tendency to shoot ourselves in the foot, time and time again? Can we laugh at ourselves? David McKenna, a Christian college president, brings a lifetime of learning to this question. By confessing his own foibles and laughing at the ludicrous, he finds that God is laughing with him--not to ridicule, but to give the special grace that saves us from ourselves. The lessons are humbling when the laugh is on us, but they can lead to the discovery that a sense of humor is a partner with the witness of a joyful spirit. McKenna shows us by example how to lighten up and find God as we laugh at ourselves.

The Triumphs of His Grace
Author: David L. McKenna
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666773689
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
Do you feel as if you have been “burned” by the church and its institutions? Or have you stayed away for fear of being “burned”? In either case, you are not alone. Confidence in the church and its institutions has plummeted since the turn of the century, especially among the younger generation. The rush to judgment is premature. In David McKenna’s growing years, he had to go through the hoops and hurdles of a radical holiness tabernacle. At the time, the human standards were odious. But now, from the perspective of seventy years or more, he can see how the threads of grace were being woven together into the whole cloth of God’s perfect will for his life. With confidence, then, he only asks that this young generation give the church a chance. It is imperfect, but it is still an instrument of the grace of God. With full candor and full confidence, then, McKenna offers his spiritual odyssey as witness to the triumphs of God’s grace.
