Gone good (Mehr als 1.200 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. If everything in our lives we knew to be good was gone, would we still say God is good? What if his goodness is grounded in something more than our experiences? What if that goodness actually runs so deep that it can never be erased from our souls.the very place we need to believe it most? Maybe God's goodness isn't about a set of events after all. Maybe his goodness is how he takes every event and molds us and changes us into something beautiful- even when the very thing we've experienced is anything but. Whether you know it or not, you've probably heard a part of Maria's story. News articles and T.V. screens nationwide were plastered with, Plane from Indiana crashes in Michigan, two killed. In Oh, Goodness, Maria will take you with her as she reflects back on discovering the true goodness of God in a way that is authentic, honest, and raw. Maria connects us with the many facets of her own humanity as we join her on a journey where she asks a very simple yet profound question. God, if you are good then why. In this book, Maria doesn't tolerate a cookie cutter answer to such a question. If we don't believe God is good in all circumstances, then why on earth would we ever be a Christian?At some point, life is hard and painful. It's in that season we learn just where our faith lies. If God is really good then why. From the Author: This Bible study was written as a follow up to my book, oh, goodness. The book was written with the purpose of getting you curious about discovering God's goodness in your own life. This Bible study, however, is written with the purpose of equipping you to tell of it after you discover it. How awesome would it be if every one of you wrote your own story of God's goodness? I am not ashamed to say that my prayer continues to be that we won't just know but have faith that God is good. I spent seven years writhing in grief, pain, loss, and anxiety all stemming from this question, How can this be good? I heard people try to encourage me with words, trying to convince me terrible tragedy was a part of God's plan and therefore good. I was confused, alone, and felt hopeless. It was in that place God began to teach me, through his word, about his goodness. What I found was something different than what others had tried to describe. I am sharing my journey with you because I believe sharing is what God calls us to do. We are going to read his word, meditate on his word, and consider his word through this study. The discovering of one's story often requires a journey back to remember and reflect, and the study is set up that way- as a journey. You will notice I use language that suggests we are on an actual journey because I don't want you to miss that our relationship with Jesus is more like a journey than a formula. I am praying for you as you prepare to take a journey that will set you free in Christ: discovering God's goodness when life isn't good.to your freedom, Maria Hatch - Bowersockp.s.

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Told in alternating first person points-of-view, AN UNFINISHED MARRIAGE begins in October 1988. Sarah Glasser, 36, and Adam Glasser, 40, live on the outskirts of Austin, Texas, in a Queen Anne Victorian house they are renovating. They have been married for fifteen years and have two sons, Joel, 14, and Cody, 8. In the years between the births of the two boys, Sarah had a traumatic miscarriage and Adam had a damaging affair. These two incidents, along with Adam's problem drinking, have put their marriage under stress. When Adam comes home late one night, drunk and agitated from a business meeting, he tells Sarah he wants to leave, that he no longer feels he is in love with her and wants out of the marriage. He reveals he has been with Sarah's best friend, Carolyn Jeffrey, at her Austin apartment and claims they have only been talking, but Sarah is suspicious. She manages to talk Adam out of leaving, but his behavior does not improve. With the Christmas holidays approaching, Sarah pretends for their boys' sake, that all is normal. But Adam shows up late for dinner parties Sarah has planned. He takes no interest in decorating the house or in Christmas shopping for the boys. And when he is home, he's distant and moody, or drunk and ill-tempered. Sarah feels there must be another woman involved. Enter Troy Middleton, 34, the carpenter Adam hires to work on the Victorian house. New to the area, Troy has goals and ambitions it has taken years of wandering the country for him to finally find. Unhappy memories of his childhood have shaken him in ways he doesn't fully understands. Mostly, he's lonely. Sarah finds Troy pleasant and easy to talk to, and after he has been working at the house for several days, she begins a matchmaking scheme to pair him and Carolyn. As the Christmas holidays near, she manages to get them together at her house for a tree-trimming party, a party Adam forgets to attend. Even the boys begin to question why their dad is missing from everything. A day after the party, Carolyn surprises Troy when she calls him for a date. He goes out with her a few times, but for him there's no chemistry. Her neediness makes him uncomfortable. And it's really Sarah he's drawn to, anyway. He has watched as Adam neglects her, and besides a physical attraction, Troy feels empathy toward Sarah. Their conversations, while harmless, have become awkwardly flirtatious. Sarah notices, and despite herself, she begins to respond, to look forward to Troy's truck driving up each morning to work on the house. After the Christmas holidays, when the boys have gone to stay with their grandparents until the New Year, the flirtation between Sarah and Troy turns into a full-blown love affair. Sarah is amazed of her feelings of exhilaration at another man finding her desirable, at the laughter they share when they're together, at his easy, fulfilling lovemaking. But her guilt and sense of honor force her to confess to Adam, and the stormy scene that follows sends her out of the house, afraid of Adam's terrible anger, and into Troy's arms. With Sarah gone, Adam is forced to face his part in the destruction of the marriage, and he suddenly wants her back, wants to try to make amends. He is also forced to involve himself in the daily lives of Joel and Cody, getting them fed and off to school each morning, homework done in the evenings. And finally he is forced to wrestle with the blackouts his binge drinking has begun to cause, blackouts that eventually cost him dearly and change the course of his life. While the collapse of a marriage is a tried-and-true plot, the characters in AN UNFINISHED MARRIAGE are complex and relatable, with humor lightening the drama and propelling the novel forward. The layers of the story peel away to reveal familiar feelings of devotion, betrayal, selfishness, and the complicated love between women and men, parents and children, and friends who sometimes become enemies.…
