Book Description
Funny, heartbreaking, and real—these twelve stories showcase a dynamic range of voices belonging to characters who can't stop confessing. They are obsessive storytellers, disturbed professors, depressed auctioneers, gambling clergy. A fourteen-year-old boy gets baptized and speaks in tongues to win the love of a girl who ushers him into adulthood; a troubled insomniac searches the woods behind his mother's house for the "awful pretty" singing that begins each midnight; a school-system employee plans a year-end party at the site of a child's drowning; a burned-out health-care administrator retires from New England to coastal Georgia and stumbles upon a life-changing moment inside Walmart. These big-hearted people—tethered to the places that shape them—survive their daily sorrows and absurdities with well-timed laughter; they slouch toward forgiveness, and they point their ears toward the Holy Ghost's last words.

Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498237541
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
Who of us can possibly imagine the excruciating pain of being crucified? But further, who would imagine that in the midst of this ghastly punishment that brings on unrelenting headaches and mental disorientation, a crucified man would actually give thought to the needs of others? This book explores in detail the nature of crucifixion and then invites the reader to listen in stunned silence to the amazing seven sayings of Jesus of Nazareth while hanging on the cross, as he focuses his attention on others in the first three sayings, and only then on his own distressing situation. His last four sayings give expression to his utter spiritual and physical anguish and conclude with a cry of victory and then a cry in which he commits himself to God.

About the Holy Spirit
Author: Mac Ward Symes
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1664221220
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 250
Book Description
This book, ”About The Holy Spirit, “ is a resource for anyone truly interested in whether the Baptism in the Holy Spirit is a valid, current Biblical, manifestation that should be experienced by all Christian believers today. It shows scripturally how one is given the gift of the Holy Spirit when born again, which Jesus described as being “born of the Spirit” (John 3:7-8). The Holy Spirit is deeply involved in the salvation process, therefore, every believer has the potential for the operation of all the gifts of the Spirit immediately upon being saved, and should walk and live in the Spirit thereafter (Galatians 5:23). Speaking in tongues is one of the nine gifts of the Spirit that are given to every believer. “Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good” (1 CO 12:7 NIV).

Pages : 186
Book Description
The Holy Spirit, which is the Third Person of the Godhead, will guide you in your daily life. Jesus says that He will send another comforter. The Holy Spirit gives you life. The Holy Spirit is the power of God. The Holy Spirit is a healer. Without the Holy Spirit, we are weak. We are spiritually dead at the birth of Jesus. It was the Holy Spirit at His ministry. It was the Holy Spirit that guided Him at His death. It was the Holy Spirit that kept Him at His resurrection. It was the Holy Spirit that raised Him from the dead. It is the same Holy Spirit that keeps the believer in this present world and keeps the church strong in the Lord. When I were to write my thesis, I was prompt to write on the Holy Spirit. I want to say that the Holy Spirit through the power of God is a healer because I have been healed from being in a wheelchair.
