Pages : 205
Book Description
Faith is more than a series of facts or answers. It is a gift that touches each and every part of our lives. A school bus, bird feeder, or even a beagle can become an opportunity for clarity about God’s presence in the ordinary. As he did in his first book "Life Crossings," Seeber takes normal moments of life such as trash, parakeets, or a broken wood carving to unwrap the practical nature and power of faith. Surprises and disappointments can become wonderful moments to feel God’s presence in practical ways. Seeber’s insightful use of such moments encourages his readers to take advantage of similar opportunities in their own lives of faith.

This collection of devotionals started as morning emails to a friend. It just gives real life happenings that turned into life lessons learned by the author, and it is a desire that others will read and be helped as well.

Learning to Walk on Water

Languages : en
Pages : 158
Book Description
Being limited in life is a helpless feeling. The mentality of our society today is limited in their finances, relationships, knowledge, and even in health. The enemy knows that if he can keep you limited, he will keep you from becoming a threat to his kingdom. What if you could be limitless? What if you were free to give when God said give or go when God said to go? It is not impossible. It will take faith and a new mentality to believe God can use you as his instrument. Jesus taught the importance of having faith and the benefits of having a limitless mentality. Faith got Peter out of the boat, but his limited mentality made him sink. None of us have arrived. Learning to Walk on Water is a journey that every Christian must take. If we desire to be used by God to the fullest, we need to step beyond the confines of a limited mentality and do as Peter did. He learned to walk on water!

The Life You've Always Wanted
Author: John Ortberg
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310565898
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Ignite a deeper, more vibrant relationship with God that impacts not just your spiritual life but every aspect of your daily life. John Ortberg calls readers back to the dynamic heartbeat of Christianity--God's power to bring change and growth--and reveals how and why transformation takes place. The Life You've Always Wanted offers modern perspectives on the ancient path of the spiritual disciplines. But it is more than just a book about things to do to be a good Christian. It's a road map toward true transformation that starts not with the individual but with the person at the journey's end--Jesus Christ. As with a marathon runner, the secret to finishing a race lies not in trying harder, but in training consistently--training with the spiritual disciplines. The disciplines are neither taskmasters nor ends in themselves. Rather they are exercises that build strength and endurance for the road of growth. The fruit of the Spirit--joy, peace, kindness, etc.--are the signposts along the way. Paved with humor and sparkling anecdotes, The Life You've Always Wanted is an encouraging and challenging approach to a Christian life that's worth living--a life on the edge that fills an ordinary world with new meaning, hope, change, and joy.
