If You Only Knew: I Share My Thoughts


Book Description

Fear causes a lot of us to not walk into what we are destined to do or be. Every one of us has a purpose in life whether we find it early or later it's totally up to us. God speaks and sometimes we ignore because we don't understand or are to afraid to make that jump. God may send confirmation through others to give you the green light. This has been my journey for so long, not following through when God has spoken to me for whatever the reason. We are all given some kind of gift or talent that is meant to be shared with the world if God is in it. If we listen to God maybe some of us would be further along. I have shelter my talents because of thoughts that I or my talents were not good enough until now. I want to share with the world, my journey that may help someone going through as well who don't know how to express themselves. Let us all be a light!

If You Only Knew


Book Description

What if you knew all the moments of my past that I am not proud of? What if you really knew me, the messy parts that I’ve hoped to forget and worked hard to conceal? For so long, my greatest fear was what you might think of me if you only knew the whole story. It’s exhausting, this guarding of our stories and struggles. Fear of being found out had caused me to hide—but I wasn’t just covering my flaws, I was unintentionally blocking the beauty of God’s grace. My journey to real freedom began when I quit running from my mess and started trusting Jesus to make something beautiful of it. This book is that story. It’s stepping out of shame and insecurity into gospel freedom. It’s letting God turn our failures and frailties into testimonies of His faithfulness. I’ve discovered that when we quit hiding, God gets the glory and we are able to fully embrace not only our relationship with Him, but also with one another. Transparency brings freedom, and in every moment, we'll find that God can absolutely be trusted.

If I Only Knew


Book Description

My life was perfect - until a shocking tragedy pulled the rug out from underneath me. My children were left without a father. I was without a husband and a provider. Instead of wallowing in my grief, I buried myself in my work at Dovetail Enterprises. Landing the promotion as the CEO's right hand was exactly what I needed. Getting saddled with Milo Huxley as an assistant is exactly the opposite. I can't stand him. He's arrogant, irresponsible, and out for my job. As if that's not bad enough, he has to be devastatingly sexy, and have a posh English accent that makes me squirm on top of it all. I've had enough unpredictability for one lifetime, thank you. But soon enough, we're fighting less and laughing more. He's there for me when no one else is. And those good looks aren't the only panty-dropping thing about him. If I only knew what to do about it . . .

If You Only Knew


Book Description

Although Christians are quite adept at masking their pain behind smiles and handshakes, we experience pain and suffering in proportions equal to the non-Christian world. Dr. O. Sonny Acho has written If You Only Knew to awaken church leaders and the church in general to the pain of those in the pews. He challenges preachers to go beyond preaching, and parishioners to be more involved in the day-to-day struggles of those within the body. By informing leaders, Dr. Acho believes they will better train their flock to get into each other's lives, relieve pain, and help each other live more like Christ.
