Book Description
We live in the midst of a crisis of home. It is evident in the massive uprooting and migration of millions across the globe, in the anxious nationalism awaiting immigrants in their destinations, in the unhoused populations in wealthy cities, in the fractured households of families, and in the worldwide destruction of habitats and international struggles for dominance. It is evident, perhaps more quietly but just as truly, in the aching sense that there is nowhere we truly belong. In this moment, the Christian faith has been disappointingly inept in its response. We need a better witness to the God who created, loves, and reconciles this world, who comes to dwell among us. This book tells the "story of everything" in which God creates the world as the home for humans and for God in communion with God's creatures. The authors render the story of creation, redemption, and consummation through the lens of God's homemaking work and show the theological fruit of telling the story this way. The result is a vision that can inspire creative Christian living in our various homes today in faithfulness to God's ongoing work.

God's greatest desire is to be your dwelling place -- The home for your heart. He doesn't want to be merely a weekend getaway. He has no interest in being a Sunday bungalow or even a summer cottage.

Using the Lord's Prayer as a floor plan, Max Lucado takes you on a tour of the home God intended for you. Warm your heart by the fire in the living room. Nourish your spirit in the kitchen. Seek fellowship in the family room. Step into the hallway and find forgiveness. It's the perfect home for you. After all, it was created with you in mind. There's only one home built just for your heart. No house more complete, no structure more solid: The roof never leaks. The walls never crack. The foundation never trembles. In God's house, you're home. So come into the house built just for you. Your Father is waiting.

Book Description
Discover God's Hope for Your Family...The modern American family faces many pressures. Often fragile marriages or parent-child relationships are held together by little more than band-aids, paper clips, or rubber bands. Such makeshift repairs only work temporarily. Good News! The Word of God offers more than temporary fixes for these human struggles. There is hope for your home life no matter how serious the problems or how deep the conflicts may seem. God's Hope for Your Home explores the biblical essentials for maintaining healthy family relationships and living with a godly hope. "Keeping the Word of God at the center of the family circle is not something than can be done part time like a hobby, nor is it an easy goal. Lance Sparks has given families a practical and helpful head start with God's Hope for Your Home. I'm grateful for his clear, readable, engaging exposition of so many biblical principles that have direct application to family life. Whether you are a new parent or a seasoned grandparent, I know you will find this book supremely helpful. I'm delighted to see it in print, and I hope it will motivate and encourage Christian families for generations to come." -John MacArthur Pastor Lance D. Sparks received his training at Washington Bible College, Lanham, Maryland, and at Grace Theological Seminary, Winona Lake, Indiana. He is the Senior Pastor/Teacher of Christ Community Church in West Covina, California. He, his wife Laurie, and six of their eight children live in Fontana, California. Pastor Lance's personal desire is to motivate believers to follow the foremost commandment, "and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength" (Mark 12:30). He is the Bible teacher on Living Word Radio Broadcast Ministry in Southern California.

Languages : en
Pages : 562

Book Description
In my heart, I feel Jesus He never leaves me alone. I awaken each morning Listening to the birds and the bees I love hearing Him whisper Through the flowers and trees. Walter Wheat, a decorated Vietnam veteran who has both felt and witnessed the love of God throughout his lifetime, shares a new collection of heartfelt, inspirational poems that touches on the emotions and tribulations we often feel while in God’s presence. Wheat reflects on the hope that Jesus provides, the blessings he brings to us in our daily endeavors, a soldier’s life under the duress of gun and mortar fire, and the hardships that families must endure when a loved one is lost in combat. Throughout his poems, Wheat explores the strength that can be found when one embraces a relationship with God, the loneliness that accompanies an empty mailbox, a prayer that asks for forgiveness of sins, the comfort that comes with knowing that God is beside us through all the storms in life, and much more. God’s Home, My Heart is a volume of inspirational poetry shared by a decorated Vietnam veteran to provide a gentle reminder to believers that our Savior is everywhere and in everything.
