I Love You From Heaven To Earth And Back

Moses was eighty years old when God called him to free Abraham's descendants from over four hundred years of Egyptian slavery. God has a purpose for each of us no matter what our age. It was during my eightieth year that God inspired me to write this book. I have learned we are never too old or never too young to be used for God's purpose. We just need to be willing, trust God, and follow His leading. There are three major religions on this earth whose roots are established in the God of Abraham; Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. Each of these religions claims to believe in one God. Each of these religions claims that God is the God of Abraham; the Muslims through Ishmael, whose mother was Hagar, the Jews through Isaac whose mother was Sarah, the Christians through Jesus Christ whose mother was Mary, who came from the line of David who came from the seed of Abraham. Who is the God of Abraham? I pray this book will answer that question. God has an immense love for us. He created us in His image. He desires that we know His love, receive His love and show His love to others; that we seek unity with Him and with each other. During hurricane Matthew, Deputy Eric Oliver and his co-workers worked around the clock risking their lives for all of us who live here. In his response to his friend who wanted him to leave and not risk danger and death, he responded that his calling was to help people. Eric fulfilled his calling. Jesus fulfilled the purpose for which He was called. He paved the way for us to truly know the God of Abraham. He paved the way for us to live with Him forever.

"I love you past the rainbow and past the Earth's only Moon . . . for God, our loving Creator, does not live in a cold, dim crater on hard, cement-like rock so rough . . . I love you to heaven and back." I Love You to Heaven and Back is the ultimate love triangle between God, a parent or caregiver, and their child. Children from around the world of different races, colors, and disabilities ask their caregivers on every page questions about God such as "Why does God love us?" Their caregiver ends their biblical-based, rhyming answer with how God has taught them to love or given them a blessing that they can then share with their child. The hope is that all children will come to learn that their caregiver loves them to heaven and back because Jesus died on the cross for us to make it possible. Jesus will return to the earth to judge the living and the dead and so truly will come back from heaven. This book can be read cover to cover, broken into sections just to answer the same question your child recently asked, or question, answer, and Bible passages read from the bottom of every page to make a daily devotional out of the book. Give this book to children who have a terminal illness or one that may become terminal to: give them permission to die, comfort that they will no longer suffer, a calmness that heaven is fun, and a certainty that you as the caregiver will be joining them soon. Of course, "Only God knows when our time on earth will end. It could be tomorrow or not till we are 110," so every child needs a copy of this book today - without delay!

A moving autobiographical testament to the power of divine love and forgiveness, Waking Up in Heaven shares the message of hope, healing, and compassion McVea brought back from her brush with God.

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.

Christ promised his disciples that they would receive power when the Holy Spirit came on them, and that they would be his witnesses across the world. When the Spirit did come to them in tongues of fire, thousands believed in Christ and were saved. That same miracle, that same Spirit, is alive in us today.so why are all of us-from the evangelical to the charismatic-so desperate for an intimate encounter with God? Why don't we feel like the new creations we know we are? Pastor and theologian Simon Ponsonby believes that the hunger we feel is a desire for more of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Many Christins have emphasized the experience of the Spirit and neglected the Word, while others have emphasized the Word and neglected the Spirit. Either way, we've become so accustomed to living in the shallow waters of Christianity that we've forgotten the depth of that promised power, and the depth of the love that gave this power to us. In More, Simon invites you to journey with him into the deep waters of God's love. While both biblical and practical, what he says also has the power to inspire in you a new love and a new understanding of everything we've been given in Christ. Are you ready? This journey may not be comfortable or easy, but it will bring you more joy and more of God than you can even imagine.

God has given us signs in the heavens as well as in His Word to guide and protect us.
