Book Description
FROM CHAPTER THREE For a kid, every day should begin with Once upon a time Every moment of every day should be an adventure. Today, during this first century of a new millennium, are we in danger of scheduling our kids lives away? And, for what purpose? I dont know about you, but years from now, I do not want to wake up and look back and realize that I missed out, that I was so consumed by my own life that I forgot to live in the moment with my children that I raised my kids to live like mefar from the present momentand, that I spent so much energy worrying about my tomorrows and my goals and my ambitions that I failed to receive and cradle a most sacred calling, this privilege of parenting. The Awe-full Privilege is a heartwarming and personal account of the joy of parenting. It illustrates beautifully the importance of slowing down and enjoying our children while they are with us ... and giving them the most precious gift of all, our time. ANITA HITTINGER, Director of Risen Lord Montessori School

Breaking and Entering
Author: Liz R. Goodman
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498234348
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 213
Book Description
When Elizabeth Goodman first arrived at the tiny congregation that would become her home as a pastor--a congregation of about seven people in a town of just under a thousand--the longest-standing member told her that though the congregation was small, her preaching need not be. In this collection of sermons, readers will witness a mind at work amidst a faithful congregation (whose numbers are now around thirty), mutually nurtured, and together having no small amount of fun. Meanwhile, the ramifications of the gospel in the world will sneak up and surprise. Guided always by a spirit of play and by scripture, as it is in conversation with life, Goodman illuminates both the quiet suggestions that undo what we think we know and the startling demands that are to be both feared and desired. This congregation has a tagline: "It's not what you think." They are probably right.
