How His Light Shines Through Us “This Is My Story” – Is a must read for anyone who is searching for a deeper meaning in life. When we cry out to God, with all our heart, seeking what His will is for us – I Believe God Will Answer! “And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13 NKJV) I believe that we are all at some point in our lives, at the stepping stones of God’s will for us. I believe God has a plan for every one of us to utilize our gifts, given by Him, for His Glory. I believe the plans He has for us, are far greater than we could ever imagine; and that He is just waiting for us to say: “OK, I’m ready – I’ve tried it my way, and it’s not working. I desperately need You in my life! Please reveal to me what Your will is for my life. What is my purpose on this earth, and how do I fit into Your plan, for Your Kingdom?” Sherri is sharing now, her story of how God stepped into her life big time – with numerous poems/songs that she feels God has given to her, as well as some short stories behind them, and a few photos taken along the way – as she reminisces back through these moments in time, following her transition from ordinary days, to being in the middle of something that she feels God is calling her to.

Central to God’s character is the quality of holiness. Yet, even so, most people are hard-pressed to define what God’s holiness precisely is. Many preachers today avoid the topic altogether because people today don’t quite know what to do with words like “awe” or “fear.” R. C. Sproul, in this classic work, puts the holiness of God in its proper and central place in the Christian life. He paints an awe-inspiring vision of God that encourages Christian to become holy just as God is holy. Once you encounter the holiness of God, your life will never be the same.

The Bible reveals glorious things. And yet we often miss its power because we read it the same way we read any other book. In Reading the Bible Supernaturally, best-selling author John Piper teaches us how to read the Bible in light of its divine author. In doing so, he highlights the Bible's unique ability to reveal God to humanity in a way that informs our minds, transforms our hearts, and ignites our love. With insights into the biblical text drawn from decades of experience studying, preaching, and teaching Scripture, Piper helps us experience the transformative power of God's Word—a power that extends beyond the mere words on the page. Ultimately, Piper shows us that in the seemingly ordinary act of reading the Bible, something supernatural happens: we encounter the living God.
