2. Jesus Calling: Enjoy Peace in His Presence
by: Sarah Young Release date: Oct 08, 2012 Number of Pages: 401 Find in Library Read Review |
Each day offers encouragement and hope from a Savior who is closer than you can imagine and who will never leave you.
Grow in a deep personal faith while reading a message that everyone needs to hear and embrace deep within the soul. Jesus Calling® is a devotional that is read daily by more than six million people. This version includes the beloved original content, but with a modern cover that will appeal to a younger audience.
After many years of writing in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to listen to God with pen in hand, writing down whatever she believed He was saying to her. It was awkward at first, but gradually her journaling changed from monologue to dialogue. She knew her writings were not inspired as Scripture is, but journaling helped her grow closer to God, and from that experience Jesus Calling® came to be.
It is Sarah’s fervent prayer that our Savior may bless every reader with His presence and His peace in ever deeper measure.

“There is a time for learning and a time for action. In reading No More No, I’m truly convicted that even though I’m a fulltime missionary, I have spent far too much time trying to learn, and not nearly enough time trying to simply do what Jesus did. Julie’s numerous (and often humorous) examples of this commitment to say yes to Jesus daily have inspired me to go and do likewise!”

by: Angelique La Fon-Cox Release date: Aug 01, 2012 Number of Pages: 740 Find in Library Read Review |
Set in the quaint and historic town of Fairfield, Connecticut you will meet Obadiah O’Sullivan, a retired engineer and grandfather of Brielle St. Claire. Brielle, along with three of her friends, twins Gideon and Keoni Toussaint and Jace Roberts, decide they want to do something to help solve a mystery that is seriously affecting the citizens of their home town.
The Intercessors come together to dedicate their lives to the service of their Savior Jesus Christ and build His Kingdom here on earth in the hearts of those who need Him the most. Obadiah trains the Intercessors, taking them on an incredible journey to an extraordinary Bible school. Once they begin their service for the Lord, they find themselves in a battle against the forces of evil that are greatly attacking their friends, town and others who desperately need God’s help.
The Intercessors learn how to truly minister the love of Jesus Christ to those who are hurting and not to be judgmental or self righteous– as their sins are just as much in need of forgiveness as those of anyone else. Through their training, they not only are equipped heavily in prayer and with the mighty power of God and His Holy Scriptures, they also learn self defense techniques to protect themselves against those who would come against them.
Through their journey, the Intercessors learn there are no greater weapons than the power of prayer and in speaking God’s written Word, the Bible to defeat their enemies. Because of their great faith and obedience, God delivers them from the hands of their enemies and blesses them most abundantly with a grand victory.
This book is unlike anything else out there available on the Christian market today. It promises to keep you turning pages until the end and hopefully….to be reaching for your Bible when you are finished.
28. Lay Siege To Heaven
by: Louis de Wohl Release date: Dec 10, 2010 Number of Pages: 372 Find in Library Read Review |
Continuing his popular series of novels about saints of the Church, de Wohl devotes his considerable talents to an interpretation of one of the most unusual women of all time, Saint Catherine of Siena. The daughter of a prosperous dyer in fourteenth-century Siena, Catherine never forgot the mystical experience of her extreme youth; at that time she devoted herself to Christ. It was, however, a shock to her family when, refusing marriage, she insisted on giving her life totally to God.
Her career was extraordinary. In that confused and dangerous era of history, the Pope was living at Avignon: Catherine persuaded him to return to Rome. The City-States of Italy were at war with each other: Catherine subdued them. There was pestilence: Catherine served and saved. She performed miracles, she received the stigmata, she drew about her a crowd of devoted men and women.
A saint who would not let the Lord God alone, she really did lay siege to heaven—and changed the face of her world. This novel, which is also a vivid biography, brings Catherine of Siena to life in a remarkable way. She lives on every page.

by: Ronald Re, Kary Oberbrunner Release date: Sep 23, 2015 Number of Pages: 228 Find in Library Read Review |
WHERE IS GOD IN THE STORMS?
When you’re in pain, your natural response is to ask these questions aimed at God himself:
- Why me?
- Don’t you care?
- Where are you?
- Are you strong enough to help?
During my storms of disease, death, and divorce, I grappled with these questions and many more. What I heard in response not only stunned me, it also gave me the strength to endure.
Along with hope and healing, I found something I never expected—abundant blessings. God gives his children this promise, “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten…” (Joel 2:25).
If you purchase and read Chosen to be Blessed you will:
- Learn to prepare your spiritual life in order to strengthen your faith by studying Gods signs as he calls you to believe in Him.
- Find hope in the eye of the storm by accepting your weaknesses and dependency on Gods strength and learn to live in His peace.
- Understand the reasons why pain leads to restoration for your good and how God uses it to help us grow.
Because the book will:
- Provide a framework where the reader can decipher Gods attempts to get our attention in signs and life’s pain that cause us to recognize who He is and His plan of salvation involves pain.
- Combine various accounts of signs and stories that give the reader cause to pause and believe again that God can use the painful storms of life as a warning, a wake-up call, and a process to transform our hearts to be ready to receive blessings.
- Restore hope by giving examples on how to find your reasons in your restoration. Then you are encouraged to take action to build your faith, restore broken relationships, and find purpose again.
Read these pages and you’ll see firsthand how God creates purpose within your pain. Chosen to be Blessed, reveals three secrets to transform your life’s storms to blessings.
“A must read … a heartfelt guide on turning adversities into opportunities to serve God.” William Sirls – #1 Bestselling author of The Reason and The Sinners’ Garden.
“In Chosen to be Blessed, Ronald Re openly, honestly, and humbly deals with the treacherous events that sometimes blast our lives, our hopes, our dreams. What was thought to be a very happy life with a good future, suddenly erupted into a tortuous series of disheartening and draining experiences.
As his secure world was breaking apart, Ronald’s analytical mind found its way to probe the wisdom of God, and the transformation it produced in his life is spectacular. With a heart for others whose lives are being shattered with unexplainable hardships, he carefully and clearly lays out the path he took to come to the realization that even disease, death, and divorce, or any other disaster in life, can be turned into unnumbered and ongoing blessings by our redeeming God. “ Rev. Ronald Graef – Retired Pastor of Evangel Baptist Church.
