GOD Works Through Faith This is the second in a series of books in which each title begins with the words, "God Works." I do not apologize for the repetition in the title or in the content. The human Mind tends to learn great truths, scientific principles, and mathematical facts slowly, or so my own experience leads me to believe. Can you remember your struggle with addition combinations? How many repetitions did it take for you to master the multiplication tables? Parents are often impatient with the persistent questions of children about the facts of life which have been conscientiously presented to them, and sometimes attribute these to a morbid curiosity. It isn't that. It is merely an indication that the child has not been able to accept the explanation given "Him" and to make it his own in one experience. No day goes by that doesn't teach me more about the way in which God works and more about what the power of Faith can accomplish. I learn from my own experience, from observing the lives of others, and from reading the words of persons who have deep convictions. In this book, I have centered my discussion on Faith. Dr. Robert A. Russell Dr. Robert A. Russell was an exceptional author and had an uncanny ability to make the most difficult spiritual subjects easy to understand and apply. While known primarily for two works "GOD Works Through You" and "GOD Works Through Faith" he was in fact a prolific author with over 16 titles to his credit. We have spent the last several years tracking down his legacy of works and will be publishing them all in the coming years, each a spiritual classic in their own right.

The founder of HowStuffWorks.com uses objectivity, logic, and critical thinking to explore the question of God’s reality in an honest way. Does God exist? Using an intellectually rigorous, scientific approach, Marshall Brain—the founder of HowStuffWorks.com and author of the How Stuff Works series—sets out to resolve the eternal debate once and for all. With a compelling sense of curiosity, he breaks down mankind’s search for a higher power, tackling such quandaries as: Who is God? What are his attributes? What is God doing and why? How does God interact with humanity? And ultimately, how can humans know with certainty whether God is real or imaginary? How “God” Works is an enlightening journey in critical thinking that challenges readers to boldly approach the subject of personal faith and put aside intuition in favor of objectivity and logic. “Takes readers on a journey of critical thinking . . . it is the combination of all the arguments made and the approach to those arguments that make this book so convincing.” —Skeptic Ink “Brain subjects Christianity to withering analysis . . . He is precise and convincing in his analytical process.” —TheHumanist.com

When you understand it properly, the doctrine of vocation—"doing everything for God's glory"—is not a platitude or an outdated notion. This principle that we vaguely apply to our lives and our work is actually the key to Christian ethics, to influencing our culture for Christ, and to infusing our ordinary, everyday lives with the presence of God. For when we realize that the "mundane" activities that consume most of our time are "God's hiding places," our perspective changes. Culture expert Gene Veith unpacks the biblical, Reformation teaching about the doctrine of vocation, emphasizing not what we should specifically do with our time or what careers we are called to, but what God does in and through our callings—even within the home. In each task He has given us—in our workplaces and families, our churches and society—God Himself is at work. Veith guides you to discover God's purpose and calling in those seemingly ordinary areas by providing you with a spiritual framework for thinking about such issues and for acting upon them with a changed perspective.

Drawing on a wealth of new evidence, pioneering research psychologist David DeSteno shows why religious practices and rituals are so beneficial to those who follow them—and to anyone, regardless of their faith (or lack thereof). Scientists are beginning to discover what believers have known for a long time: the rewards that a religious life can provide. For millennia, people have turned to priests, rabbis, imams, shamans, and others to help them deal with issues of grief and loss, birth and death, morality and meaning. In this absorbing work, DeSteno reveals how numerous religious practices from around the world improve emotional and physical well-being. With empathy and rigor, DeSteno chronicles religious rites and traditions from cradle to grave. He explains how the Japanese rituals surrounding childbirth help strengthen parental bonds with children. He describes how the Apache Sunrise Ceremony makes teenage girls better able to face the rigors of womanhood. He shows how Buddhist meditation reduces hostility and increases compassion. He demonstrates how the Jewish practice of sitting shiva comforts the bereaved. And much more. DeSteno details how belief itself enhances physical and mental health. But you don’t need to be religious to benefit from the trove of wisdom that religion has to offer. Many items in religion’s “toolbox” can help the body and mind whether or not one believes. How God Works offers advice on how to incorporate many of these practices to help all of us live more meaningful, successful, and satisfying lives.

"A devastating attack upon the dominance of atheism in science today." Giovanni Fazio, Senior Physicist, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics The debate over the ultimate source of truth in our world often pits science against faith. In fact, some high-profile scientists today would have us abandon God entirely as a source of truth about the universe. In this book, two professional astronomers push back against this notion, arguing that the science of today is not in a position to pronounce on the existence of God—rather, our notion of truth must include both the physical and spiritual domains. Incorporating excerpts from a letter written in 1615 by famed astronomer Galileo Galilei, the authors explore the relationship between science and faith, critiquing atheistic and secular understandings of science while reminding believers that science is an important source of truth about the physical world that God created.

GOD Works Through YOU THIS BOOK is for those who have never tried to prove God, those who think they have tried, those who have tried and failed, those who still have hope and for those who are daily proving Him.

To give form and substance to your prayers, treatments and desires. 5. To lead you to discover the Real You. J. Lowrey Fendrich tells the story of a Chinese philosopher who once came to a missionary and offered to pay him to translate a portion of the New Testament for him each day. The missionary agreed, and for the first lesson opened the Bible and read aloud the words, After this manner therefore, pray ye: Our Father - To his surprise the aged Chinese stopped him and said, "That will be enough for today." A year later he returned and said he was ready for the second lesson. "I thought," said the missionary, "that you employed me to read to you every day." "I did," replied the old man, "but it took me a year to understand this much." The words in this book are only challenges. The real substance of the lessons is contained between the lines. This means that you should mark, learn and inwardly digest them as you read. As Isaiah said, you will have to wait upon the Lord. You will have to condition your mind through meditation and contemplation. The more you study the lessons, the more light and understanding you will receive. "Mary kept all these things and pondered them in her heart [Soul]." One of my earliest efforts to put the Truth into print was called This Works. It has long been out of print, but requests for copies still reach me. Those who so faithfully remember the pamphlet will recognize that the material it contained is embraced by this volume. I have written half the book, but you must write the other half - not on paper but in your daily life. It remains for you to embody the thought in your consciousness. May each hour spent in the study of these lessons bring you manifold blessings! - ROBERT A. RUSSELL Dr. Robert A.
