From the Sanctuary to the Streets
Author: Wendy R. McCaig
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1621892417
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
What does it mean to be church? Is it spending an hour on Sunday with people who look, think, and act much as we do? Or is it something more incarnational that seeks out those who are different, the ones living on the margins? For centuries Christians have presumed that we are to take the gospel to the poor. Instead, Wendy McCaig invites us to receive the gospel from the poor. Through a series of encounters with incarcerated, homeless, and impoverished individuals, Wendy McCaig experienced the mysterious power of Christian hospitality that turns strangers into family. Her gift for storytelling brings this mysterious transformation to life. Inspired by the dreams of a homeless mother who wanted to help her neighbors, McCaig started a ministry that empowers formerly homeless individuals to live out their dreams. Together these dreamers are transforming their city one person, one community, and one church at a time. Her true stories of the least, the lost, and the forgotten in her community will show you the Good News becoming reality in the midst of injustice in ways that will inspire you and deepen your faith. These twenty stories-within-a-story about what ordinary people can do when they come together across racial, economic, and geographic divides to fight poverty will expand your vision of what it means to be the church. With your eyes opened to the needs and gifts of your neighbors, you too can begin to dream God-sized dreams for a hurting world. And as you pray "thy kingdom come on earth," you will be inspired to live in such a way as to make it happen in your own community.

Pages : 116
Book Description
I was nineteen years old when I met the demon for the first time. The cunning and baffling of its character defects captivated me, and held me hostage for years. I became an addict whose life spiraled outta control! It was a monster, cleverly camouflaged in a puff of smoke I called, “the devil’s love potion.” Trapped in a world of crushed dreams, false hope, and unmanageability, I was weakened and defeated by the intrusion of my new best friend. Blinded by the realities of my addition, I hit bottom over and over again. I had gone completely insane, and at the brink of suicide, when a final cry to God brought me back from hell.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
There is a voice that speaks quietly to guide in the right direction. It is called the conscience. This is the voice of God. However, there is a voice that speaks only evil. It comes in the form of a thought. A misleading thought that caters to our flesh or desire in some way. If that isn't enough, it comes through the voice of an acquaintance, a peer, or a partner. Whatever the source may be, my prayer is for you to recognize and dismiss this loud voice before it becomes an offensive behavior to The Most High.A smart person learns from their own mistakes, but a wise person learns from the mistakes of others. If you are intrigued by true stories with the twists and turns of tragedy, accompanied by behaviors that approach insanity, but begins again with triumph and glory, I have a story for you.
