God Will Make a Way

God Will Make a Way is an approach to specific problems in the Christian's life, but more than that, it's a new approach to solving life itself. Drs. Cloud and Townsend introduce ten "life principles" and then demonstrate how eighteen real-world dilemmas are solved by their application. The book concludes with a plan to encourage each reader to develop a personal strategy for using these principles to bring about life-changing healing.
God Will Make a Way: Discovering His Hope in Your Story
by Don Moen Robert Noland Manny PacquiaoDove Award–Winning artist says, “You can still trust Him.” Beloved worship leader Don Moen offers comfort to those wondering where God is when life is hard.At some point, most of us will face a seemingly insurmountable situation—the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, an unexpected divorce, or a poor report from the doctor. It is at these very times, Don asserts, that God has not forgotten us.In God Will Make a Way—the same title as his popular worship song—Don explains that God is always working in ways we cannot see to bring hope and healing to his children. For some, their wounds are self-inflicted. They may think they’ve gone too far and are now merely damaged goods. Don flips that thought on its head, insisting we serve a God of second chances and no one is too far from his reach.Through heartfelt stories and hope-filled Scripture verses, “Papa Don,” as he’s called by many, weaves a blanket of gentle comfort for readers looking for answers. He has learned to lean on God’s promises in good times as well as bad. God Will Make a Way is a message for the worldwide church that the God who saved Moses and the panicked children of Israel at the Red Sea is the same God we serve today—and nothing is too difficult for him.

God’s Diet: A Short and Simple Way to Eat Naturally, Lose Weight, and Live a Healthier Life
by Dorothy Gault-McnemeeDorothy Gault-McNemee is a medical doctor who had tried every diet she could find to control the weight gains that had plagued her throughout her life. As the founding physician of a busy health clinic, she also saw that overweight patients who were suffering from a variety of diseases were far worse off than those who had their weight under control. As a result, Dr. Gault-McNemee began to examine what we eat and what our slimmer, healthier ancient forebears ate. They didn't have processed foods and access to sugar; they weren't consuming alcohol and foods that had been mixed with artificial ingredients they couldn't pronounce. They were eating what God put on this earth: meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, grains, and nuts. And thus was God's Diet born. In other words, if you can't pick it, pluck it, pull it from the earth, or scale it, don't eat it. If you pick up a can or a package of food that includes even one ingredient that you can't identify, don't eat it. Dr. Gault-McNemee also cautions that far too many foods contain sugar as an additive, from cereal to bread to canned vegetables. Prepare foods simply and avoid sugar, but while you're at it, have a steak and a baked potato with butter and sour cream. In God's Diet, Dr. Gault-McNemee has compiled numerous case studies from her own practice; inspiring advice from people like herself, whose lives have been changed for the better; information on vitamins, minerals, and cholesterol; and menu-planning advice and delicious recipes. The doctor has also prepared three lists of foods: those which you can eat all you reasonably want, those you should avoid, and a "swing list" of foods that you may enjoy occasionally and with limitations. God's Diet enables you to lose weight simply and naturally without having to remember any complex diet regimen. By incorporating simple habits into our lives -- paying attention to food labels, drinking eight to ten glasses of water a day, and exercising reasonably -- we can easily and radically change the way we live, while becoming healthier and living longer. Never has there been a simpler or more logically thought out weight-control guide. There is nothing to count or exchange, no special foods to buy. Everything you need to live a slimmer, healthier life is in your supermarket, if you follow the advice of Dr. Gault-McNemee, whose vast experience with fad diets and overweight patients led her to conceive this brilliant little book. This truly is the last diet book you'll ever buy. Remember, if God didn't make it, don't eat it!

God's Favorite Place on Earth
by Frank ViolaWhen He came to earth, Jesus Christ was rejected in every quarter in which He stepped. The Creator was rejected by His own creation. "He came to His own and His own received Him not," said John. For this reason, Jesus Christ had "no where to lay His head." There was one exception, however. A little village just outside of Jerusalem named Bethany. Bethany was the only place on earth where Jesus was completely received. God's Favorite Place on Earth is a retelling of Jesus' many visits to Bethany and a relaying of the message it holds for us today. Frank Viola presents a beautifully crafted narrative from the viewpoint of Lazarus, one of the people who lived in Bethany with his two sisters. This incomparable story not only brings the Gospel narratives to life, but it addresses the struggle against doubt, discouragement, fear, guilt, rejection, and spiritual apathy that challenges countless Christians today. In profoundly moving prose, God's Favorite Place on Earth will captivate your heart with its beauty, charm, and depth. In this book you will discover how to live as a "Bethany" in our world today, being set free to love and follow Jesus like never before.
God’s Formula for Success and Prosperity
by Oral RobertsHere are eleven personal biographies, gathered and edited by G. H. Montgomery, Editor of Oral Roberts’ magazine, HEALING, to dramatically illustrate GOD’S FORMULA FOR SUCCESS AND PROSPERITY, and to prove what the power of God will do for those who use their faith in Him and live according to His laws.These eleven people tried to “out-give God,” and failed, for the more they gave of their substance and themselves, the more God prospered them.Here are eleven inspiring stories which are true. You will read them and enjoy them, and when you are discouraged, and feel that you have been passed by you will read them again and be encouraged. For this is the proof of what Oral Roberts preaches, shown in his lives of men who are unusual only because they believed, they trusted, and they gave what they had without thought of reward—and were prospered.GOD’S REAL ESTATE MANGOD’S PLOWMANGOD’S DAIRY MANGOD’S TOOL AND DIE MAKERGOD’S AUTOMOBILE MANGOD’S CONTRACTORGODS POULTRY MANGOD’S MINISTERING SERVANTGOD’S BANKERGOD’S KEEPER OF THE TOMBGOD’S MAN FOR THIS HOUR
