The World Is Noisy - God Whispers


Book Description

"The World Is Noisy - God Whispers: The Daily Devotional" is a collection of 366 thoughts, ideas, and inspirations jotted down by author Julia Monnin between the years 2012-2018. As with her first book "The World Is Noisy - God Whispers: Volume I", Julia-following a prompting of the whispering voice of God at work in her own life-chose to turn these thoughts into a daily devotional only after writing them down for her own private use first. In addition to the simple ideas, observations, and words of encouragement aiding the reader in their own life of prayer, this book can also be used as a journal of its own giving space to the writer to collect their own thoughts in the margins or on the notes pages. It proves to be a powerful resource to help the reader (no matter their age) to prayerfully "tune in" to the inspirations calling out to the depths of their own souls in "the still small voice" of God. (See 1 Kings 19:11-13.)

Like Julia's first Devotional (released initially in 2019, which includes thoughts from her written between 2012-2018), this work can be a powerful resource to help the reader (no matter their age) to prayerfully "tune in" to the inspirations calling out to the depths of their own souls in "the still small voice" of God. (See 1 Kings 19:11-13.)Some interior struggles Julia was having at this time in her life include:-Overcoming crushing doubt related to apostolic endeavors;-Learning how to slow down and be patient as God's providence unfolds;-Growing in ever-deepening love of and faithfulness to Christ in the midst of the struggle, doubt, confusion, fear, and impatience that came along the way.

Simply Tuesday


Book Description

Our obsession with bigger and faster is spinning us out of control. We move through the week breathless and bustling, just trying to keep up while longing to slow down. But real life happens in the small moments, the kind we find on Tuesday, the most ordinary day of the week. Tuesday carries moments we want to hold onto--as well as ones we'd rather leave behind. It holds secrets we can't see in a hurry--secrets not just for our schedules but for our souls. It offers us a simple bench on which to sit, observe, and share our stories. For those being pulled under by the strong current of expectation, comparison, and hurry, relief is found more in our small moments than in our fast movements. In Simply Tuesday, Emily P. Freeman helps readers · stop dreading small beginnings and embrace today's work · find contentment in the now--even when the now is frustrating or discouraging · replace competition with compassion · learn to breathe in a breathless world Jesus lived small moments well, slow moments fully, and all moments free. He lives with us still, on all our ordinary days, creating and redeeming the world both in us and through us, one small moment at a time. It's time to take back Tuesday, to release our obsession with building a life, and believe in the life Christ is building in us--every day.




Freedom Faith


Book Description

Freedom Faith is the first full-length critical study of Rev. Dr. Prathia Laura Ann Hall (1940–2002), an undersung leader in both the civil rights movement and African American theology. Freedom faith was the central concept of Hall’s theology: the belief that God created humans to be free and assists and equips those who work for freedom. Hall rooted her work simultaneously in social justice, Christian practice, and womanist thought. Courtney Pace examines Hall’s life and philosophy, particularly through the lens of her civil rights activism, her teaching career, and her ministry as a womanist preacher. Moving along the trajectory of Hall’s life and civic service, Freedom Faith focuses on her intellectual and theological development and her radiating influence on such figures as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Marian Wright Edelman, and the early generations of womanist scholars. Hall was one of the first women ordained in the American Baptist Churches, USA, was the pastor of Mt. Sharon Baptist Church in Philadelphia, and in later life joined the faculty at the Boston University School of Theology as the Martin Luther King Chair in Social Ethics. In activism and ministry, Hall was a pioneer, fusing womanist thought with Christian ethics and visions of social justice.




God Whispers


Book Description

Where are you at this moment? If your first reaction was to say, "I am in a book store," or "I am in my recliner," I would likely say the same thing. But what I am asking is where you are in your faith walk with God. Do you feel far from Him? Maybe you walk closely with Him and hear His voice in your life. Are you in a listening mode or are you tuned into the "noise" in your life, cluttered with things to do, places to go, and people to see? Maybe you picked up this book because you were curious how God could possibly whisper. Or maybe you needed to make a major decision and you thought this book might help. Or maybe you picked it up because when you saw "fudge" in the subtitle, you thought it might be a recipe book. It is a recipe book, in its own way, and for fun, you will find fudge recipes in the appendix. But I wrote this book to share some experiences of mine, and those of its contributors, about how we learned from our fudges and responded to God's nudges. God wants to free us from our self-made cocoons, or chrysalises, and watch us fly free like a butterfly. Liz Thompson lives in Grove City, Ohio, with her husband, Bob, and wire-haired dachshund, Toby Bear, who is her Certified Hearing Dog.

A Whisper in the Woods: Quiet Escapes in a Noisy World


Book Description

A Whisper in the Woods: Quiet Escapes in a Noisy World was birthed from Martin Wiles' numerous treks with his two children and his middle brother in mountainous areas on the eastern coast of the United States. Through these hiking and camping experiences, God taught him valuable lessons that have seen him through many difficult life experiences. Martin's weekly devotionals found in A Whisper in the Woods take the reader out of the noise that often accompanies living in this world and into the quiet escapades of wooded areas where the voice of God is more clearly heard. As you walk with Martin through the mountain valleys and over the high summits, you too will hear God whisper words of comfort to you.
