Book Description
All little girls are born with healthy hopes and dreams of happy futures. I have talked with many women and never heard one of them say that when they were little they couldnt wait to grow up to be divorced, abandoned, addicted, chronically ill, or unable to pay their bills. What goes wrong when: The desire for comfort turns into addiction? The need for protection turns into abuse? The anticipation of freedom turns into abortion? The search for self worth turns into anorexia? The dream for companionship ends in infidelity? The hope for a happy life turns into suicidal ideation? Journey with women like Melissa, Erin, Frida, Hannah and Claire as they share their most difficult battles and the messages they believed about themselves...messages they learned to trust because they often came from the people they trusted...messages they worshipped that eventually betrayed them. Trusting in a Two - Faced God explores our invisible warfare as women and the enemys tactics that deceive us into thinking we are on the road to fulfilling our purpose and dreams, when all the while we are trusting in the wrong messages to get us there. How can we search out what we keep hidden deep inside our hearts so we can silence the gods of our internal struggles and find the God who has the true message about who we really are engraved into the palm of his hands?

Beautiful Things Happen When a Woman Trusts God
Author: Sheila Walsh
Publisher: Thomas Nelson

Pages : 288
Book Description
Do you ever question God’s ability to catch you when you fall? Do shame, fear, and brokenness keep you from fully trusting God? Do you secretly believe your dreams are unreachable? Do you secretly believe your dreams are unreachable? You are not alone. This is a book about trust. How we fight it. How we learn to do it. How it transforms us. Life is not safe. That reality slips over us as we grow. Our response to the Father in that reality allows us either to swing higher and higher with the trust of a child . . . or fearfully shrink back from the swing set altogether. As we weigh that choice, God whispers: Trust me. In a remarkably transparent account, author and speaker Sheila Walsh opens wide her lifelong battle with trust and the moment-by-moment choices she made to follow where God led. Sheila has lived a life ruled by the “hidden places” of insecurity and brokenness and knows the overwhelming beauty of a life wholly handed over to Christ. As you encounter her struggles and triumphs, you also meet ten of the Bible’s transformed—Tabitha, David, Paul, and others—who teach us that in spite of overwhelming circumstances, just one trusting encounter with Christ sets beautiful things in motion. It can resurrect dreams, instill purpose, and ignite hope.

Book Description
"The author explores a vast array of interpretations extending far beyond theological commentary, sermons, and hymns, to also embrace the epistle's influences on literature, art, politics, and social theory. The work includes examples of how successive generations have portrayed the historical figure of James the Just, in both pictorial and textual form. Contextualizing his analysis with excerpts from key documents, including artistic representations of the epistle, the author reviews the dynamic interactions between the James and Jesus traditions and compares James's epistle with those of Paul. The volume highlights James's particular concern for the poor and marginalized, charting the many responses to this aspect of its legacy. Drawing on sources as varied as William Shakespeare, John Calvin, Charles Schultz's Peanuts, and political cartoons, this is an exhaustive study of the theological and cultural debates sparked by the Epistle of James"--

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
Many have been taught to see God as a terrifying agent of wrath who spews anger at any sign of imperfection. At the same time, they’ve been taught that they are inherently flawed and devoid of goodness. Where does that leave us? For Ben DeLong, it left him hiding his skeletons from the monster he believed God to be. This proved to be a perfect recipe for anxiety, depression, and insecurity. But what if God accepts our skeletons? What if he actually embraces them in love? How would that change our outlook? For Ben, it changed everything. This book is about his journey to find what was always true: we are eternally embraced by God, skeletons and all, and he is never letting go.
