Chasing Slow models HGTV star Erin Loechner's journey to help you break out of the faster-better-stronger trap and make small changes to refresh your perspective, renew your priorities, and shift your focus to what matters most. You're here, but you want to be there. So you spend your life narrowing this divide, and you call this your race, your journey, your path. You live your days tightening your boot straps, wiping the sweat from your brow, chasing undiscovered happiness just around the bend. And on and on you run. Viral sensation and HGTV.com star Erin Loechner knows about the chase. Before turning 30, she'd earned the title "e;The Nicest Girl Online"e; as she was praised for her authentic voice and effortless style. Her HGTV web show garnered over one million fans worldwide, and her client list includes Walt Disney World, IKEA, Martha Stewart and Home Depot.

Through a series of steep climbs--her husband's brain tumor, bankruptcy, family loss, and public criticism--Erin learns just how much strength it takes to surrender it all, and to veer right into grace. In Chasing Slow, Erin upgrades her life through downsizing--her stuff, her obligations, her fears, her personal metric of "e;perfect."e; And ultimately, her invitation becomes yours: to turn away from the fast and frenzy, and find freedom in a new-fashioned lifestyle defined by grace.Life's answers are not always hidden where they seem. It's time to venture off the beaten path to see that we've already been given everything we need. We've already arrived. You see?You'll see.

This book has been written to encourage anyone who has experienced or continues to experience life trials and tribulations. I pray that this book encourages you to trust and lean on God because He will always take care of you. Your first step is to acknowledge that the battle is not yours, it's the Lord's. Isaiah 41:10 (KJV) states "Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." May the Lord bless you and keep you. May His face shine upon you and be gracious to you. May He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace.

Syprina Quiroz's life had been difficult from the start. What began with being bullied led to an adolescence filled with alcohol and substance abuse, meaningless relationships, and eventually, crime. Now it had all caught up with her and she was headed for prison. But that was not the end of the story. God had plans to turn her life around. It was in prison that Syprina discovered that none of us have faced so much, or done so much, that we cannot begin again. With utter frankness, Syprina shares the downward spiral that landed her in prison and the faith that helped her overcome her shame and navigate the serious consequences that followed her into her future. In I Can Start Over she describes how, in unlikely places and unlikely ways, God enabled her to rise above her circumstances and bring hope to others.This story is a compelling testament to personal tenacity, the redemptive power of a faith-filled, supportive community, and the relentless promise of God to restore even the most broken life to all He intended.

"Working as a literature evangelist has been the most rewarding work that I have ever done in my life.

Devon knows that now more than ever, as we confront problems worldwide, from the Covid-19 pandemic to economic and political strife, we must reach out to those in our community and spread the Word of God. The world lives in spiritual darkness; Incredible Stories of Miracles at the Door is a guide to the best ways to knock on the door of people's hearts and be a beacon of light for God within our neighborhood. "...An engaging and poignant collage of remembered experience of one on the front line of Christian door-to-door ministry." ~ Mark McCleary, Retired Pastor "The book gives you the overall understanding that God is involved and engaged in our lives." ~ Shawn Fordham, Pastor

Hudson Taylor was as a nineteenth century missionary to China and founder of the China Inland Mission. He did these things by faith, trusting only God for all temporal supplies for himself, his family, and more than eight hundred missionaries that joined him in more than fifty years of Gospel labor. While these are impressive numbers, Hudson Taylor was first and foremost a child of God, constantly growing in his faith. One of Taylor's greatest gifts to posterity is the transparency with which he wrote about life challenges and his own faith journey. This book contains story after real-life story of walking ever more closely with God, each demonstrating His reality and the truth of His Word.From the author's foreword, "There can be no doubt but that Hudson Taylor's acts have helped to mould men's minds, and have given an impulse to missionary activity and methods.... And there can be no question as to the great idea with which he was possessed, and to which he attached himself. His life was dominated from first to last by his conviction as to the utter faithfulness of God. It is for this reason that the title of this little book has been called: Hudson Taylor: The Man who believed God."Originally published in 1929, this Christian classic has been refreshed in order to present the encouragement of Hudson Taylor's faith in God to a new audience. Author Marshall Broomhall, a nephew to Hudson Taylor, was himself a missionary in China, and later became the editorial secretary for the China Inland Mission.About the Scripture Testimony EditionWalking Together Press has enhanced this classic title by identifying and marking portions of the narrative that illustrate specific Biblical topics and verses. An extensive Scripture Testimony Index has also been added containing short summaries of how each topic is illustrated, making locating specific stories easy.

Dr. Frederick Baedeker, born in Germany in 1823, earned a doctorate in philosophy, became a successful business man and educator, then founded a high-class school in Weston-super-Mare, England, to where he emigrated, married, and settled into a prosperous life. But at age forty-three, Baedeker attended a series of evangelistic meetings about which he said, "I went in a proud German infidel, and came out a humble, believing disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ." Through aristocratic connections, God granted Dr. Baedeker unprecedented access to the horrible prisons of Czarist Russia, and at one point eighty-six-year-old George Müller laids his hands on Dr. Baedeker's head and "separated him to the special ministry to the banished brethren, committing him to the loving care of our Heavenly Father." Instead of enjoying the comforts of his upper-class position, Dr. Baedeker chose to spend his days and his personal wealth to visit the downcast and forgotten so that he might lift their chins with the hope of the glorious Gospel. Frequently in great need or danger, or facing opposition, he sought and found deliverance through prayer. These proofs of God's love and faithfulness are chronicled in story after story in this powerful biography.Originally published in 1907, the year after Dr. Baedeker's death, Dr. Baedeker and His Apostolic Work in Russia is an essential Christian biography. From the author, "A life-work so signally exemplary in its long-sustained heroism for Christ, and so rich in spiritual stimulus, could not be allowed to pass unchronicled."About the Scripture Testimony EditionWalking Together Press has enhanced this classic title by identifying and marking portions of the narrative that illustrate specific Biblical topics and verses.

Robert Gribble was a simple, uneducated man, who worked with simple, uneducated farmers and laborers in the villages of the bucolic Devonshire countryside. There are parallels between that time and place, and our own. Perhaps surprising to a modern reader, rural Britain in the first part of the nineteenth century was unreached with the Gospel. In spite of the long presence of the established church, most people had never heard the name of Jesus, or if they had, they did not know that He is able to save and to transform souls. Robert Gribble worked with people in a post-Christian time much like our own. From the preface, "In this brief account of forty-two years' labour in the Gospel, [the author hopes] ...that many dear people of God will find some refreshment in the perusal of these pages... The "Appendix" contains a few extracts from the writer's journal, added at the suggestion of friends, who considered that some account of the way in which the Lord has sustained him during the last twenty-five years, might form a suitable conclusion to the book... to show the providential care of an Heavenly Father who delights to help those who trust in Him, and who, if able to raise such weak instruments in bringing sinners to Himself, can surely provide for His servant's daily need."First published in 1858, this Christian classic has been refreshed so that perhaps, as this old book is presented to a new audience, it will encourage new readers to think like Gribble, asking the questions, "How can I be useful to the souls of others?" and "Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" The sweet stories in this book give us the encouragement that, should we ask such questions of God, He will certainly show us how to reach our own communities, even in our own post-Christian time.

This unique collection of pictorial materials and illustrations relates to Benjamin Wills Newton (1807-1899). He was an evangelical Christian leader and expositor who at times ministered to large congregations in England in the nineteenth century. He was a prolific writer. This book includes portraits of him and his family, and a variety of memorabilia. It gives examples of his letter-writing and of his editing of books. It shows how, after his death, his written records were preserved by his private secretary, Frederick Wyatt, and his colporteur, Alfred Fry. It also gives pictures and brief accounts of some of his close associates in the later stages of his ministry. Most of this material has never before appeared in print.This booklet is a supplement to the definitive 'Guide to the Works and Remains of Benjamin Wills Newton'. It is the fruit of many years of recovering primary material regarding him. It adds human interest to Mr Newton's life and writing, and so brings us closer to the man himself.

What happens when a devoted Evangelical Christian-an ordained pastor, seminary professor, and Christian radio talk show host-begins to doubt his beliefs? ¿Psychologist Cedric Johnson found out when he asked the wrong questions of the Evangelical hierarchy and suffered a backlash that included rejection, marginalization, and exile. He sought a direct experience of the Divine. Instead, he got a directive: Conform or get out. Turning to the "eye of the heart," Cedric opened himself to the Divine spark within and never looked back. Engaging in silent contemplation and dreamwork, immersing himself in music and nature, surrendering control, and resting in not knowing, he discovered a heart-based spirituality based on universal truths (love, oneness) and faith instead of dogma and division. In his memoir, Cedric Johnson offers himself as living proof that we can lose our religion without losing our faith. As he aligned with the unifying Presence, he recovered from toxic religion and returned home to a life of meaning and purpose. And so can you.

T.B. Joshua - een man van gebed, een vriend van Jezus, een controversiële beïnvloeder, een profeet van Bijbelse proporties, een liedschrijver, een vader voor wezen, een weldoener aan weduwen, geconsulteerd door presidenten, en de oprichter van de immens populaire zender Emmanuel TV.Wie was hij en wat was zijn inspiratie? Waarom lijkt controverse diegenen te volgen die een verschil maken in de wereld? Wat is de aantrekkingskracht van deze man die ras, cultuur, geloofsovertuiging en taalbarrière overstijgt? Hoe kon zijn kerk die gelegen is in een nederige buitenwijk van de deelstaat Lagos in Nigeria, uitgroeien tot de belangrijkste religieuze toeristische trekpleister van West-Afrika die bezoekers trekt uit alle hoeken van de wereld?Te midden van intense vervolging hebben zijn boodschap en voorbeeld van vergeving en liefde grote menigten beïnvloed over de hele wereld.Terwijl hij miljoenen online bediende en wereldwijd stadions vulde, hield hij er een eenvoudige levensstijl van gebed op na op de plek waar de bediening in 1989 begon. Een moeras dat nu getransformeerd is in een natuurlijke en geestelijke oase die bekend staat als de Gebedsberg."Ik zorgde voor de diepte van mijn relatie met God; Jezus zorgde voor de breedte van mijn succes." - T.B. Joshua"Wat we zagen in het leven van T.B. Joshua raakte ons tot in ons diepste wezen. We zagen het boek De Handelingen van de apostelen vandaag in actie en hoe de naam van Jezus Christus hoog in ere werd gehouden."Dr. Gary & mevr. Fiona Tonge
