And Through It All, HE KEPT ME


Book Description

I am humbled to know, experience, and continue to experience some of the most amazing, extraordinary, awesome, unexpected ways God answers prayers when we call to him. We must call on the Lord first because he knows everything, and he sees everything. He knows the who, what, when, where, why, and how to get things to us when we need them. When I was in need of an immediate answer from the Lord, I said to the Lord, "Lord, don't let me lose mind." He stepped in right at that moment. A calmness came over me, and nothing fazed me after that in this instance--even in the simple things such as the Lord saying to me "Look in your pocketbook" when I asked him, "Lord where is my debit card?" The Lord will give you peace and quiet, along with sweet sleep in the middle of loud music, cussing, talking aloud, just by asking him for it. When someone or anyone who has been resentful toward you tells you they want to talk to you about something, and you don't know what they are going to say nor do you know what to say, ask the Lord, and he will give you his words and shut them down and may cause others to fall asleep. God can also give you remarkable dreams, such as his coming from the east, and you know it's true because it lines up with his word. When the Lord spoke to me while I was on my knees in prayer, he said, "I'll be at your side, instructing you, leading you, and guiding you" and did just what he said without speaking another word to me in that situation. God has never broken a promise, and he never will. Lord, thank you for your grace and mercy, your love and kindness. I am so grateful, truly grateful.




God Kept Me through it All


Book Description

This book is about an all-American golden boy—a preacher’s kid, a youth minister, and an extremely gifted basketball player. He never drank or smoked and remained celibate until he got married. On his way to college, he was hit by a drunk driver, which, in turn, ruined his basketball career. While he was able to forgive the driver, he began a backslide. He started snorting cocaine and basically lead a double life. Regretfully, he was involved in a tragic car accident, killing his only daughter and some passengers in the car that he had struck: a pregnant woman and her unborn baby, leaving her only son motherless. While in prison, Eugene had two failed suicide attempts and begged the judge to give him the death penalty, but God had another plan for this man’s life. Like Job in the Bible, he had lost and suffered a lot. Everyone hated him, and some wanted to kill him. He prayed without ceasing, and God answered his prayers. All those who hated him came to his sentencing and spoke on his behalf. Then, like in Job 4:10, God made him more prosperous and gave him twice as much as he’d had before. God sent him to theology college, where he received his master’s degree and again began mentoring kids. He became the pastor of a church, an evangelist, and a missionary who traveled the world doing God’s will.

Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ (Revised Edition)


Book Description

Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ-the divine Person revealed in the Bible-has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do his will, and you will see the truth of his Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.

After thirty years of being in an unhealthy relationship and marriage, Ruth Gold decided that she had had enough. She went through many years of ups and downs with her husband regarding hope, love, religious beliefs, and having children. Despite all the challenges she endured, she stayed in the marriage until she gained the strength to pick herself up and leave. Ruth Gold hopes that by sharing her testimony, she will encourage women of all ages who are dealing with the same kinds of problems to be able to seek a relationship with God, who will lead and direct them in living a happier and healthier life. In Finding Me in the Midst of It All, Ruth Gold discusses about choosing the wrong mate, settling for a relationship despite what you know or find out, surviving adulterous affairs and children born from those affairs, breaking the cycle of repeated affairs, feeling as if you are trapped with no way out, and most of all, establishing a relationship with God and following his voice instead of a man’s.
