Have you ever felt your life was hopeless because of the mistakes you've made? That you're damaged goods, beyond repair, beyond the reach of God's love? Diamonds for Christ will show you how God can turn each disappointment, struggle, fear, obstacle, and pain you've experienced to help you overcome life's challenges to fill you with hope and expectancy. Just like diamonds, which are formed through the process of pressure and heat to produce something beautiful, God will heal and restore every broken area of your life. God healed me from the pain of divorce, abortion, single parenting, loneliness, hopelessness, and living a life to please people; he will do the same for you. He allowed me to see that his love and grace are much greater than my sin and failures. Through Jesus Christ and his finished work on the cross, I've been restored and have a new outlook on life. A life with a sense of purpose, meaning, and hope, knowing that through Christ, all things are possible. There is also a fulfilling and happy life awaiting you. It's time to stop living confined by your past and look to the beauty of your future because God has an awesome plan and purpose for you!

The author will take us through the process of the Holy Spirit's work in a life that is hungry and thirsty for the hidden riches of the Father. We must yield to the Father's call to this diamond-kind of character, which brings the heat of His light into the deepest part of our nature. This absolute light of God will expose, sift, and analyze, even to the depth of our nature, and it will judge the thought and the intent of our heart. ". . .these pages are filled with words of anointing and power! The depth and knowledge of the Word coupled with pellucid analogies of the diamond-kind of character has sparked my desire to pursue this character in my everyday walk with the Lord and with those around me." Kalan Lowery "From the very first chapter of this book, I sensed God's presence. This book is filled with treasures of great worth and reading it was definitely a life changing experience." Tina Esqueff "In reading this book, I found that I could not put it down, and that it caused a deep introspection. The anointing on each page caused me to question the make-up of my own character. I believe that as you read this book, it will cause you to examine your life and your character." Rev. Wayne Priest "...Diamonds in a World of Glass will be a book in my library that I will read again and again. Rev. Adkins unveils hidden treasures, 'diamonds' from the Word of God for us to plainly see." Rev. Stacey Scaife

Dissolve the distractions of ego to find our authentic selves in God In his bestselling book Falling Upward, Richard Rohr talked about ego (or the False Self) and how it gets in the way of spiritual maturity. But if there's a False Self, is there also a True Self? What is it? How is it found? Why does it matter? And what does it have to do with the spiritual journey? This book likens True Self to a diamond, buried deep within us, formed under the intense pressure of our lives, that must be searched for, uncovered, separated from all the debris of ego that surrounds it. In a sense True Self must, like Jesus, be resurrected, and that process is not resuscitation but transformation. Shows how to navigate spiritually difficult terrain with clear vision and tools to uncover our True Selves Written by Father Richard Rohr, the bestselling author of Falling Upward Examines the fundamental issues of who we are and helps us on our path of spiritual maturity Immortal Diamond (whose title is taken from a line in a Gerard Manley Hopkins poem) explores the deepest questions of identity, spirituality, and meaning in Richard Rohr's inimitable style.

With more than 200,000 copies sold, Diamonds in the Dust has become a devotional favorite. Joni shows us precious jewels of biblical truth that lie scattered amidst the gravel of life’s dusty road.“The book you hold in your hands is my treasure trove of diamond chips I’ve collected over the years,” says Joni. “I’ve carefully selected favorite gems, ones I’ve often held to the light, turned this way and that to admire their beauty, diamonds that have made me rich in faith and wealthy in hope.”These 366 meditations uncover a wealth of promise, of eternal truths waiting to transform the events of our lives into facets that catch and reflect God’s glory. Written from the perspective of a woman who traverses life in a wheelchair, this book wipes away the surface grit of suffering and circumstances to reveal the radiant hope that each of us can claim.Diamonds in the Dust takes theology and gives it flesh, breath, and emotion. With eloquence, Joni draws from her own trials and triumphs to enrich us all with the wisdom of Scripture. But she’s not the only one whose everyday life holds such potential. “Look down at your feet,” Joni writes. “The path sparkles. God has placed diamonds in the dust of your road too!”
