Grace In The Rearview Mirror

"These stories are poignant, inspiring, moving and, above all, real." —Michael Curry Have you ever wondered if God is missing in the mundane? Four women priests have found God in the most unexpected places: in a dive bar, at the drugstore, and even at the grave. As we go about our everyday lives, the divine can feel illusive: grappling with the realities of cancer, infertility treatments, searching for a birth story, and honoring the divine in a child with autism. Yet God was there all along. This book is a guide to help you name God’s presence in your own history. Reflection questions and instructions are included for writing and sharing your spiritual autobiography in the hope that you, too, discover grace in the rearview mirror.

In this charming and refreshingly frank memoir, the creator of Seattle's Pink Toe Truck shares heartwarming and rollicking tales that illustrate his passion for family, hard work and hilarity. Ed Lincoln invites you to jump in the passenger's seat and take a peek though the rearview mirror as he reveals surprising life lessons that have spanned the decades. This true story once again proves that fact is often more compelling than fiction. You will burst out laughing, hold back tears and maybe even dust off a few nuggets of wisdom to put in your own back pocket.

Jim Rice is a general contractor, the owner of Forest Construction Company, Inc., Showcase Kitchens & Baths, and DeNeal Construction Services, Inc.

They have one grown daughter, Jaime, who is now married and living nearby. Oftentimes we can't see God's involvement in our lives on an everyday basis. We don't see what He is doing until we look back at the events of our life, after they are past, and see how God has done incredible things, miracles sometimes. A VIEW OF GOD FROM MY REARVIEW MIRROR is stories, lessons and miracles from the life of Jim Rice. Jim brings an insightful look into issues that we all face in daily living, and he imparts a fresh faith to believe God for His participation in the everyday aspects of our lives. These stories will encourage you to see what God is doing every day in your own life.

White-knuckling can never get you where you want to go. But grace can. You already know because you’ve tried: repeated attempts to earn God’s love and approval get you nowhere and leave you exhausted. When performance taints our relationship with him, the Christian life can turn into an unholy hustle. It was never meant to be like this. In Saving the Saved, Pastor Bryan Loritts reveals the astonishing truth that God doesn’t want your spiritual scorekeeping. He simply wants your surrender. The punchline of the gospel of Matthew is just that—a message of grace and performance-free love to do-good, try-harder Jews who thought they had to earn their way into God’s favor. It’s an ancient message, yet it can be a lifeline to us today as we live in a world of performance metrics. Just as Matthew wrote to the Jews in his gospel, we were never meant to flounder under the pressures and anxieties of show Christianity. Make no mistake: we are called to live in obedience, but Jesus wants us to save us from the illusion that our actions can ever earn God’s acceptance of us. In Pastor Bryan’s relevant, uncompromising style, Saving the Saved proclaims the good news that once the pressure is off to perform, we are free to abide. Beyond the man-made rules and the red tape, there is a God who knows you by name. Come and meet him as you’ve never known him before.

In Faces of Faith: Reflections in a Rearview Mirror, David Fly writes, A few years ago, I noticed that automakers had come up with the line Ive looked for all my life. They put it on the rearview mirror on the passenger side. Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear. Thats the way it is with my family. They are the faces in my rearview mirror. Telling stories about them has brought them closer, has taught me who I am and where I belong, and has revealed the Spirit of God. If I didnt tell those stories again, I would miss them terribly. Thats what this book is all about.
