Whispers Of God S Grace Stories To Encourage Your Heart

We are storytellers, and our favorite stories to tell are those that turn hearts toward God. And while everyone has their own unique story, it is through the telling of those stories that we are able to truly experience Him. In the midst of our joys and fears, hopes and challenges, we can see God there with us. Our hope is that as you read our stories, and the stories of others, that you will begin to see God in your story as well, and the role you play in Whispering GodÕs Grace to others.

WHISPERS OF GRACE is a fresh, new year long, daily devotional for those who need to hear a word from their Father God. Over the course of many years, Wendy Hunt would come before the Lord in her quiet time and ask one question: "Lord, what do you want to say to your precious people?" Then she would listen and record the impressions He placed on her heart. This is a compilation of those impressions. Each daily entry is written as if God is speaking directly and lovingly to the heart of the reader as His beloved child...personal, tender, and comforting. These excerpts are based soundly on Scripture and meant to give the reader a sweeter understanding of God's grace toward them, drawing them deeper into the intimacy of His presence and stirring within them the desire to linger there in His presence, resting and abiding in His love.

We humans are prone to failure. We’re experts at muddying, mixing, and messing up our lives. Who among us hasn’t looked up from the bottom of a pit and realized he dug it himself? Who hasn’t fallen so far, messed up so badly that she thought there was no hope? And it’s at these low points that we crave reminders that there’s hope for the broken. No reminder is quite as poignant as a story of second chances. A story of grace in action. Who couldn’t use more stories of grace like this? Second Chances releases just in time for Easter promotions and is an ideal companion to GRACE: More Than We Deserve, Greater Than We Imagine. Filled with biblical, contemporary, and imaginative accounts of God’s grace in action pulled from Max’s previously published works, Second Chances includes tales of second chances for the rebellious, prideful, failure-prone, and more. From Peter to King David to a prodigal daughter, these stories will remind readers of the magnitude of the gospel of second chances.

This is a book of prose. It began in the year 1992 after a transition from an agnostic point of view to complete and total surrender to my Lord Jesus Christ. His whispers began with my comprehension of Gods sacrifice to redirect my fate. The whispers continued through the years with my growth and trust in Him. With the tragic death of my son at age thirty-two, I wondered how I would go on. Then His whispers came day and night as He walked beside me in my garden of grief. This is a book for you, if you do not know the Lord. If you know Him, it will lead you into praise and worship. If your heart is broken from the loss of a loved one, then I trust you will find a measure of comfort for your healing. Be blessed as you read.

The title of this book, God Hears the Whispers of Our Hearts, came from sitting on a park bench with my four children when they were small, on the grounds of the State Capitol of Sacramento, with a wondering thought about where my life was headed and in what direction I will end up at. It began as a thought and then a whisper and sigh. As I gazed up at the Capitol building and admire the beauty of it (the people walking in and out, the squirrels running and playing) I whispered in my heart, "I wish I could be like one of those people entering the building to work in such a beautiful place." Immediately, my sigh and thought came to a stop""it seemed like such an impossible dream. As the time went by, the manifestation of that sigh and whisper became a reality and a dream come true. I not only worked in that building but retired from it after thirty-four years. This is the story in the contents of this book "The Bench."

Andrea Logan White appeared to be living the “American dream” or what many would call a “perfect life.” However, underneath the happy veneer of the model, actress, and producer, was a subtle, caustic voice leading to emptiness and self-destruction. She was being crushed under the weight of her own drive for “perfection.” Andrea’s remarkable (and often tabloid-worthy) journey that took her from hanging out in the Playboy mansion to finding God at a stop light on Hollywood Boulevard is a page-turner, but it is not the whole story. Even discovering Jesus, finding an amazing husband, having beautiful children, and embarking on an exciting career didn’t hold the “happily ever after” Hollywood ending Andrea had envisioned. No matter how successful, how spiritual, how loved, she was still enslaved by a lie the Enemy uses against many of us: she felt she needed to be “perfect” to be accepted by herself, by others, and by God. Andrea shares her struggle with life-threatening eating disorders and self-defeating thought patterns, and she reveals the beautiful discovery that God’s love meets us not in our perfection, but in the most unfinished places of our life. In Perfectly Unfinished, Andrea exposes the powerful truth that continues to change her life: God loves us just as we are, just where we are; for it is in the midst of our brokenness and imperfections that Jesus is at work completing us so that we may share fully in his holiness. Alongside Andrea, readers discover from the word of God how to join God in the work he is doing in the midst of our unfinished and imperfect lives.

"I've never heard anyone say, 'The really deep lessons of life have come in times of ease and comfort.' But, I have heard many saints say, 'Every significant advance I've ever made in grasping the depth of God's love and growing deep with Him has come through suffering.'" -- John Piper Suffering with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, 48-year-old John Udodong clung to his deep faith in God, trusting that he would be ushered into heaven when he took his final breath. On his last day, longing to see his Lord and Savior, Jay whispered to Grace, his wife, "It's time to celebrate Jesus." Then he peacefully closed his eyes and passed on to eternity. Desperate and unable to share the peace her husband embraced till the end, Grace cried out to God, "Why would You take a loving husband and father from his family when he is still so young?" God replied with gentleness and love, "Grace, what you have experienced is one tiny piece of a thousand-piece life puzzle. It cannot make sense to you unless you are able to focus on the bigger picture." The more He spoke to her heart, the more she understood. In this moving memoir, Grace Udodong shares her powerful story of love, loss and the unex¬pected path that led her to a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. God's whispers to Grace in the midst of her valley drew her to Him and taught her these truths: - When we seek God in our pain, He is able to heal. - When we seek God in our lack, He is able to provide. - When we seek God in our confusion, He is able to direct. - When we seek God in our emptiness, He is able to satisfy. Inspired by God through prayer and Bible reading, Grace came to intimately "know" Him and the power of His presence as He walked her through the wilderness of bitterness and grief to a paradise of forgiveness, healing and peace. May you be encouraged by her story of hope. God truly IS enough.
