Book Description

*LOVE *JOY *PEACEA Tasty Sample of Spiritual Fruit ThatWill Give You A Boost For The Day! (Special Color Edition)By Pastor Cecil A. ThompsonBack in the 1970's I was Deputy Director of the Idaho Law Enforcement Planning Commission. I also taught a few night classes in the Criminal Justice field at Boise State University.One term I was called by the Registrar's Office and asked to teach a large class in Sociology. I had my Master's Degree in Sociology and agreed to teach it.Most of the night classes had about 20 students and that was what I was anticipating. To my surprise there were over 120 registered. I now became more of an entertainer than professor. The first class session I gave the assignment to write three most important qualities they wanted in their life.The answers were: 1. LOVE! 2. JOY! 3. PEACE! When I read their results I opened to Galatians and read Galatians 5:22-23; "But the fruit of the Spirit is * Love, * Joy, * Peace, * Longsuffering, * Kindness, * Goodness, * Faithfulness, * Gentleness, * Self-Control. Against such there is no law." But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law." I think that those qualities are what we all seek to find. How sad people seek in all the wrong places. This book will help you find just the right "SPIRITUAL FRUIT" for your day.

Suffering and the Sovereignty of God


Book Description

In the last few years, 9/11, a tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and many other tragedies have shown us that the vision of God in today's churches in relation to evil and suffering is often frivolous. Against the overwhelming weight and seriousness of the Bible, many Christians are choosing to become more shallow, more entertainment-oriented, and therefore irrelevant in the face of massive suffering. In Suffering and the Sovereignty of God, contributors John Piper, Joni Eareckson Tada, Steve Saint, Carl Ellis, David Powlison, Dustin Shramek, and Mark Talbot explore the many categories of God's sovereignty as evidenced in his Word. They urge readers to look to Christ, even in suffering, to find the greatest confidence, deepest comfort, and sweetest fellowship they have ever known.

Pieces of Grace


Book Description

Grace believed she went from losing it all to having it all. In a desperate attempt to put her life back together, Grace, divorced and jobless, leaves Tucson to return to Chicago-a place she never planned to call home again. She also never planned to fall for Benjamin Hayward. Drawn into the fairytale existence of his power and wealth, Grace is unable to see what her family and friends see, and ignores the warning signs of Dr. Benjamin Hayward's dark side. Benjamin's secrets-the death of his mentally ill wife and the disappearance of his daughter-push Grace into an abyss deeper than the one that brought her home in the first place, and she risks losing even more. Pieces of Grace is a complicated story of relationships confused by undercurrents of mental illness. Readers find themselves hoping family and friends can carry Grace through her most difficult moments.
