Iris wrote her book because of a vison that God gave her in two different dreams. In one dream, she was given a vision instructing her to write this novel. After this dream, Iris prayed and asked God to give her the title of her novel. God answered her prayer. Iris continued to pray and asked God to lead and guide her for the literary content that she was to place in her novel. Iris hopes that, by reading her book, it will help millions of people's faith to strengthen and that they will better understand the importance of God's free gift of salvation. God loves you and wants you to discover the purpose that He has for your life. God's love for you and His infallible word that is in the Holy Bible is an anchor for the journey that you must take in life. Jesus has provided you with a gift of salvation and everlasting life which is every Christian's destination. During the trials, suffering, and storms in your life, God wants your faith to be deepened, your hope to increase, and your love for Him and others to grow. The author shares her testimony and some of the miracles that God demonstrated in her life to help encourage and be a blessing to everyone. Salvation is a marvelous gift that God has provided for us and is something to really look forward to. I hope by sharing some of my experiences, they will be a blessing to you. Jesus wants you to rise above anything that would interfere with a marvelous destination of eternal life. Trust in the Lord with all thine heart: and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:5""6, KJV)

Is there any eternal value to your day job? Is it possible to find gospel meaning in your "secular" career? If you really love Jesus, shouldn't you quit your job and go into full-time ministry? How does your everyday work have anything to do with God's mission in the world? Many marketplace Christians have wrestled with these questions in their lives and in their work. But from entrepreneurs to assembly line workers, from high-paid execs to minimum-wage hospitality staff, more Christians are becoming overwhelmingly filled with renewed purpose as they realize that their work has a role in God's kingdom plan. In Missional Marketplace, author Erik Cooper offers his perspective through personal stories and reflections on the sacredness of all work, framing the faith and work discussion through the lenses of The Great Story, The Great Commandment, and The Great Commission. This book will create a gospel-collision between your faith, your work, and the global mission of God in this world.

New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

Hope Heart of Peaceful Endurance A Godly Resilience In our ever-evolving world where nefarious happenings are occurring regularly and positivity seems to be obscure, we all seem to be searching for hope. It is the possession we need and perhaps long for to encourage every passing day. When things look impossible or in despair, we have to build up our hope and lean on our faith. Hope is a skill. In this easy-to-read yet powerful book, Charlene takes you through five practical steps on employing your hope skills. There is exploration through subjective and dictionary definitions of hope before introducing the steps of this indistinct skill. In addition, we will journey through ways that hope can be stolen and, conversely, how we can sustain or reinforce our hope through action even during trying times. We are more resilient than we give ourselves credit. By using Bible verses, real-life narratives, constructive levity, and pragmatic ingenuity, the goal is to convey to the reader * how to identify and utilize the hope steps * how to prevent the enemy from stealing your hope * why you have to watch your words or words spoken over you * what the Bible has to say about hope * how to look for the butterfly moments and pursue resilience * how antagonistic feelings can affect your hope * why hope is the link between faith and wellness * where our hope comes from * why you are worth it and being kind to yourself During tough times, hope is not the easiest to hold on to. However, it is the best gift you can give yourself. Be encouraged and allow God to minister to you. Happy reading!

Where is God when we are hurting or in despair? How can we find hope even when we feel hopeless? Pain, struggle, and despair are part of life, and they test our character as God's people. John Wimmer approaches these challenges to our faith realistically and thoughtfully. He does not offer easy answers or platitudes like "Everything happens for a reason." We can't always understand or control many things that happen to us, but we can choose how we respond to our circumstances. Wimmer encourages us to view times of difficulty as opportunities for spiritual and personal growth. Rather than diminishing our faith, pain and despair can lead us to greater trust in God. To endure through such times is a blessing. This inspiring book offers practical help for moving from pain and despair to hope. Wimmer reminds us that with hope we also have faith—not the false belief that our lives will be pain-free but the assurance that God will be with us through our most challenging times and lead us to deeper levels of spiritual growth and wisdom.

Sometimes we think we have it all planned out. We have a goal that we have set for ourselves and have established the path needed to reach that goal. Unfortunately, life does not always seem to cooperate with those plans. In these times, we may become confused, frustrated, upset, and seemingly hopeless. We may ask God why He has allowed a hardship or great devastation to take place in our lives. The answer as to why this situation is happening may come in any length of time. For some, the reason may come quickly. For others, the answer may not come for years to follow. Nevertheless, we must remain patient for His answer and continue to press on through each trial. We must do this not only to grow in our own trust in God but also to show others the power of faith and God's miracles. Through each trial that you face, you are given the opportunity to have a stronger relationship with Christ. When you endure through those trials, you become a living testimony for God's grace. You become a source of hope and inspiration to others going through their own trials. Take each battle one day at a time. It is not always easy, and at times you may stray off course, but you will likely discover a greater purpose for your time here on earth while you patiently endure.

Written by a pastor and father who has walked a painful road, Hope When Life Unravels explores the encouraging, upside-down truths of the book of Job, and other key Bible passages, to remind us of the ways God is present in our pain. Why does God allow suffering? And why does God seem to go silent when we're in pain? In Hope When Life Unravels, Dr. Adam Dooley, pastor and host of the daily radio broadcast A Better Way, searches for answers to our biggest questions about suffering as he shares his son Carson's story of battling leukemia. Adam speaks openly about the gut-wrenching struggle his family endured for three years of life-threatening illness and how God met them in their hours of need--even when it wasn't in the ways they wanted. And, along with his own story, Adam takes readers through the story of Job, unpacking insights about God's character, his love, and how we can stay connected to him even during seasons of pain. Both inspiring and comforting, Hope When Life Unravels invites us to draw closer to a God who is often active in our lives in times when we have trouble seeing him the most.
