Broken Vessels God S Power Through Autism

Why is Autism on the rise? Why are more and more children suffering from this "incurable" disease? Why can't anyone, including the medical community, pinpoint what is really going on? Having a son diagnosed with Autism, these are just a few of the questions I have asked, yet received no real answers. Until I asked God, the Supreme Authority. Do you know that God has something to say about Autism? Believe it or not, He has plenty to say. For the sake of our children, it's time to listen. Deborah Dennis lives with her husband in Zebulon, Georgia, and is the proud mother of three beautiful boys: Gregory, Devin and Owen.

Exchange Fear and Doubt for a Life of Radical Possibility Since the Garden, our true identities have been hijacked--stolen by Satan. We've fallen prey to the subtle, believable lies of the enemy that we are inadequate, powerless, ineffective. As a result, God's purposes for our lives are short-circuited. Robby Dawkins, a most engaging storyteller, shows how the enemy has shattered our understanding that we are made in the image and likeness of God. When we grasp the truth of who we are in Christ, we can walk with him into the realm of power reserved for each of God's children. We can do the things Jesus commanded us to do--heal the sick, rout demons, deliver the captives. The thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Don't let him. Reclaim your true identity and live a life of purpose, passion, and power.

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

In the last few years, 9/11, a tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and many other tragedies have shown us that the vision of God in today's churches in relation to evil and suffering is often frivolous. Against the overwhelming weight and seriousness of the Bible, many Christians are choosing to become more shallow, more entertainment-oriented, and therefore irrelevant in the face of massive suffering. In Suffering and the Sovereignty of God, contributors John Piper, Joni Eareckson Tada, Steve Saint, Carl Ellis, David Powlison, Dustin Shramek, and Mark Talbot explore the many categories of God's sovereignty as evidenced in his Word. They urge readers to look to Christ, even in suffering, to find the greatest confidence, deepest comfort, and sweetest fellowship they have ever known.
