Book Description
If you made the decision to call out to God for answers when you are broken, lost, and uncertain of your future, would you be open to see the help that he sends for you? Would you trust in him to know exactly what you need, even if it isn't what you think the answer should be? If he sent a guardian angel to help you, although not knowing who or what they would appear as, would you accept their help even if they only appear as a caring friend or family member? It is in the darkest hours of our lives that we face such critical decisions. We struggle to combat the forces that seek to draw strength from our weaknesses, hoping that God is still there fighting for us. The truth remains that he, in fact, is and always has been fighting for our salvation, even in the times that we push him away. He waits for us to open our hearts to accept his love and blessings. God knows the hearts and trials of not only all the angels that serve him but all his beloved children on earth as well.

Book Description
*NOW A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES—from producer and director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti* Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).

Ascending Beyond Darkness
Author: Ayat Abuznade
Publisher: Amz Book Publishing Solutions
ISBN: 1964913306
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 106
Book Description
In this heartfelt narrative, I invite you into a world where the echoes of war and disaster are met with the gentle hands of hope and healing. It is a story that begins with a personal quest for meaning, a search for something more in the chaos of life. My journey is one of self-discovery, sparked by crisis and fueled by a desire to reach out to those in dire need. The book unfolds in a series of chapters showing my unique transformative experiences across the globe, from Zaatari Refugee Camp in 2014, where the stark reality of forceful child marriages paints a vivid picture of the struggles faced by many, all the way to Karabakh, where the tragedy of a young life lost in a bombing becomes a painful reminder of the fragility of life. From the streets of Moldova, swarmed by the refugees of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, to the displaced families of Morocco during the Earthquake. Each of my experiences will show you the struggles and pain of those who desperately need our love and assistance. But the message of the book is clear and coherent. We all can do our bit to make this world a better place. In the face of difficulties and hardships, there is always hope. In the darkness of chaos and pain, there is always light. This book is more than a collection of experiences; it is an invitation to witness the power of human connection and the difference one person can make. I will try to share my story, which is both personal and universal-a call to action for anyone who has ever felt the urge to reach out and help another soul in need. Let this story be a reminder that in the midst of life's greatest challenges, there lies the opportunity to find our true purpose and to leave an indelible mark on the world. From the Zaatari Refugee Camp in 2014 to the earthquake-ravaged regions of Turkey and through the flooded villages in Pakistan, Ayat Abuznade's journey as a humanitarian is one of unyielding resilience, unwavering strength, boundless compassion, and undying hope. In this riveting book, Ayat takes readers on an unforgettable experience through some of the world's most devastating crises, sharing the pivotal moments that shaped her extraordinary path. Born in the US, Ayat's early life forged her future. The friendships she formed and the experiences she endured laid the foundation for her life's unwavering commitment to helping those who suffered around the world, from refugees fleeing their homes to families and orphans with no one else left in the world to turn to. Throughout this book, she vividly recounts her experiences in Greece, USA, Lebanon, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the war-torn regions of Russia and Ukraine. Each chapter pulsates with her relentless drive to make a difference despite facing overwhelming odds. As the founder of "Global Team 4 Humanity," Ayat shares her experiences and how she and her team were devoted to global humanitarian aid. The second part of this memoir dives deeply into the personal impacts of her work, revealing her profound love for children, the irreplaceable importance of family, and the power of true love to heal even the deepest wounds. This book aims to share the true strength within every human being and underscores the importance of hope. Ultimately, the message is very clear: Even one person can indeed make a significant difference in the world.

Book Description
Find comfort in dark times and grow your trust and faith in God with this inspiring and insightful guide from Lakewood Church pastor and #1 New York Times bestselling author Joel Osteen.

Those types of experiences are part of the human journey. But when we find ourselves in such a place, it's important that we keep a positive perspective. Joel Osteen writes that if we stay in faith and keep a good attitude when we go through challenges, we will not only grow, but we will see how all things work together for our good. Through practical applications and scriptural insight, Blessed in the Darkness focuses on how to draw closer to God and trust Him when life doesn't make sense. If we will go through the dark place in the valley trusting, believing, and knowing that God is still in control, we will come to the table that is already prepared for us, where our cup runs over.

ISBN: 1566996732
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
In our postmodern, experience-oriented culture, people are longing for greater authenticity, integrity, and depth in their pastors and leaders. Board directors, church members, and staff alike are all eagerly seeking leaders who effectively integrate their spirituality and leadership. Pastors and executives, however, often struggle with knowing how to integrate their spiritual values and practices into their leadership and management roles. Designed for pastors, executives, administrators, managers, coordinators, and all who see themselves as leaders and who want to fulfill their God-given purpose, The Spirit-Led Leader addresses the critical fusion of spiritual life and leadership for those who not only want to see results, but who also desire to care just as deeply about who they are and how they lead as they do about what they produce and accomplish. Geoffrion creates a new vision for spiritual leadership as partly an art, partly a result of careful planning, and always a working of the grace of God
