Denise's Daily Word

Author: Denise Barrow
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1593096186
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 304

Book Description
A courageous cancer survivor shares daily words of spiritual encouragement for people of every faith. More than ten years ago, Denise Barrow was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer--a transformational experience that inspired her to pick up her pen and begin writing daily encouragements to her friends and family. Denise's daily words are based on Bible scriptures, told vividly with compassion and unwavering wit, but intended to free us from "religion"--that organized system of beliefs, practices, and man's way of doing things--so that we can serve God and His purpose in our individual lives. In her inimitable book, Denise candidly shares her long and personal journey of recovery and how she not just talks faith but joyfully lives faith even in the face of difficult circumstances. Denise touches the soul, mind, body, and spirit of all who believe--regardless of religion--teaching, ministering, and evoking healing in all of us. Her daily words will prayerfully help you to value the gift of your life, inspiring love and forgiveness that will unite us all in God's purpose

Pieces of A Life

Author: Denny Dubs
Publisher: Page Publishing Inc
ISBN: 1662426607
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 232

Book Description
Pieces of a Life is a different kind of book in that it is not an autobiography in the strictest sense of the term. It does not move from the beginning (one’s birth or ancestry) to the end of life, but rather, it deals with people, stories, anecdotes, events, and thoughts I have had over the years that have largely centered around my interest in religion. The book is about my life, but there is nothing chronological about it; it is presented to you in pieces, a piece here and a piece there. Hopefully, you will find interest in these vignettes—some entertaining, some educational—and hopefully they might enlighten you to think more about your soul, salvation, and Father in heaven. If a story takes you there, perhaps others will follow. Unless you are born with great talent and ability, you, like me, will never do anything belonging to a great autobiography. Nevertheless, all our lives have worth, and there are things that others would find very interesting. God, our Father, has placed in each one of us matters that make us unique. This is my attempt to do just that, and I hope that it will encourage you to do your own such endeavor. Sometimes we have to share those things with other people. Perhaps, in doing so, we can change the world for the better.
