Stormy Times, Thriving After Loss


Book Description

Feeding our body and our Spirit is a must for all the seasons of life, no matter our age or status. God expects ALL of His children to nourish our spirit and soul. Only the individual can do this.... We have to 'feed ourselves' on purpose. The past twenty years, God and His Holy Spirit, has used these Scriptures portions to comfort soothe, and replenished me during a time of sorrow, testing and trials and even the questions I have had at times during this special journey. These words of comfort have brought healing, and have been the guard at the door of my mind and thoughts and have kept the intruder (Satan) out. The Word of God is like a pillow that we can find warm and inviting, reliable, comforting, filled with promises, that will bring great assurances that we can rely on in whatever the season of our life. I am sharing some of these precious verses with you from my 'Basket of Blessings'. I pray that these nourishing Scriptures will help you feel comforted, your joy restored and your strength rekindled by our Lord the Great Physician.

Thriving in the Storm


Book Description

Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller! When the storm hits, you have three choices: give up and become a victim; do what you can to survive; or learn to thrive.

Bill Murphy is proof. He’ll be the first to tell you he is nothing special, but he has been able to overcome an abusive childhood, post-traumatic stress (PTSD), mental health challenges, and unexpected crises to finish an Ironman, earn a black belt in Krav Maga, and run the Boston Marathon five times—including one on crutches. He’s a regular guy who is now thriving at the top of his profession, too. And in Thriving in the Storm, he explains how you can achieve similar success. Murphy shares the 9 key principles and the 21 mental exercises that have helped him succeed beyond what anyone thought was possible. By distilling wisdom from other experts like Tony Robbins and Grant Cardone, sharing personal anecdotes, and telling inspirational stories from other achievers he’s encountered, Murphy has created a straight-talk, self-help resource for anyone who wants to transform their feelings of shame, anger, resentment, rejection, and fear into great success, happiness, peace, and an overall enthusiasm for life.

The Crescendo: Thriving in Intense, Stormy and Dark Times


Book Description

The noun of this word crescendo speaks of the loudest point reached in a gradually increasing sound. It also speaks of the highest point reached in a progressive increase of intensity. The verb speaks of an increase in loudness or intensity, such as the “reluctant cheers began to crescendo". We are in a spiritual season that is reaching such a crescendo. Several years ago the Lord first spoke about how we are heading into a “season”, therefore, a period of time not determined in length, during which things will get very “intense”. It means that as we consider the word “crescendo”, we are right now in a time where the hostility against God is reaching a very intense stage, and such intensity has progressively increased over the years. It will be a season of great spiritual warfare, where many people will struggle to remain standing. So intense is the hostility and the onslaught, that many believers will actually fall away if they are not found to be settled upon the Rock of Jesus. It is a time of quickening what the Lord is doing, but also a time of a quickening regarding the devil’s work. In such stormy and intense times, we need to learn how to thrive, still make an impact for Christ and fulfil the Great commission. This is a collection of prophetic insights and spontaneous prophetic utterances to unveil the scope, magnitude and ramification of the Crescendo season.
