Summary

"The Shadow of the Gloomy East" is the memoir of Polish writer, university professor, and anticommunist political activist Ferdynand Antoni Ossendowski. He states that, "My sketches of the "Shadow of the Gloomy East" are an attempt to lay bare before the civilised world the true face of the Russian people, which must be enlightened, converted to Christianity, to European culture, strengthened in true morality, and then, only then, admitted as an equal to the great comity of nations which aims at perfection, spiritual beauty and strength."

Patience and Prayer

Patience and Prayer are two primary means of receiving the help we seek, for the Creator has commanded us to observe them and promised them to be the recipe for receiving help from him. Both are obligatory to observe and forbidden to neglect. As both are so important to our belief and lifestyle I have decided to compose this collection of Quranic ayat and hadith on patience and the virtues/rewards of prayer to serve as a reminder and tool so that we can increase the quality and quantity of our patience and prayers. Thereby the believing reader who reflects and remembers may potentially qualify for the divinely promised help that is better than what we ask and hope for.

Full of supernatural wonders, this book records the life and prophetic end-time revelations given to Daniel (whose name means God is the Judge) while he was a captive Jew in Babylon — and also reveals insights given to David, Haggai, and Zechariah. 
It is both a course in history and a revelation of Israel’s relationship to that history. Jerusalem lay in ruins, and many Israelites were captives in Babylon. Beginning with four faithful young men in a pagan land ruled by a prideful king and ending with that same king’s recognition of God’s presence in them, the Lord used this story to outline His plan for the ages. 
God revealed to Daniel the rise and fall of human empires, where they will end, and how the true Kingdom of God will come forth. 
When the meaning of the word Daniel is fulfilled in us, we will stop judging by our own criteria. We will no longer judge according to appearances or rely on human reasoning. Living in harmony with the presence of the Lord within, we will fulfill His will, do His work, and speak His words — then the judgment of God will flow in and through us. 
This is the same divine judgment Daniel illustrated to both Israel and the Gentile nations through his God-given interpretations of dreams and visions. 
The book of Daniel — once sealed until the time of fulfillment — contains a prophetic mystery that even Daniel could not fully understand. Yet that revelation is being unsealed now. If God opens our understanding, we can receive it, for its fulfillment is near.

Have you lost your footing in church? Or has the church lost its footing?
Many of us feel unsteady, disoriented, even crushed after an endless string of scandals within the walls of a place meant to offer compassion and safety. Others feel forced to draw back or distance ourselves from the church. All the while, our instincts tell us this is not what Jesus wanted for his people. But what did he intend?
After four decades of ministry, Anglican bishop Todd Hunter is no stranger to betrayal and pain in the church. Still, he has hope. He believes more than ever that Jesus is who the world needs and that Jesus has plans for his followers. In What Jesus Intended, Hunter offers a vision for emerging from the rubble of bad religion and rebuilding faith among a community of sincere believers. By unpacking the purposes of Jesus, we can expose twisted, toxic religion for what it is and embrace the true aims of the gospel.
Come for a fresh hearing of Jesus—one that offers us the healing and goodness we've always longed for.

Every one of us has broken places inside. Places in our souls where the dust gathers or the wind whistles through. Every one of us needs restoration. Photographer and portrait artist Meshali Mitchell is no different. Though, in her case, she also had a farmhouse to restore to its former glory. 
 
 
 
In this book Meshali shares the inspiring story of how the Lord drew her out from behind the camera to embark on an unlikely home renovation in the midst of her own difficult journey to healing. As she handed God the keys to every room in her heart, Meshali learned lessons of patience, perseverance, and self-forgiveness that paralleled the physical restoration of the building around her. With lyrical prose steeped in Scripture and practical tools, she shows you how to apply those same discoveries to your own life as you ask God to heal, restore, and empower you to live abundantly.
