Sinopse

Our image of God reveals not only God’s character, but our own.

Jesus’ parables reveal a God who is intentionally available to those who seek him. They invite the listener to enter the narrative and engage with God one-on-one to expand our understanding of faith and of ourselves.

The image of God in the New Testament takes at least three forms: The person of Jesus, Jesus' teaching about the kingdom of God with the parables, and the founding of the church on Pentecost by the Holy Spirit. In this book I will focus on the image of God the Father found in the parables.

The authenticity of the parables as Jesus' own words is seldom questioned, in part, because Jesus' parables are unique, a genre unto themselves, but not a typical genre. A typical genre might adhere to a particular structure or story form, but not a parable.

Image of God in the Parables is written in a devotional format with a reflection, prayers, and questions for study.

Motherhood and creativity can coexist. 
 
  
 
You have creative dreams swirling in your heart, but pursuing them while changing diapers and managing the carpool schedule feels impossible. You have no time. No space. You can mother, or you can create. You certainly can't do both (right?!). 
 
  
 
But what if you could pursue your God-given creative gifts alongside motherhood, for the enrichment of both experiences? What if you stopped viewing creativity as a selfish act, and started to see it as essential to your own flourishing as a mother? 
 
   
 
This book is a much-needed permission slip to do just that—through the pictures you take, the stories you write, the meals you make, the music you play, the gardens you grow. 
 
  
 
In this unforgettable book, writer and mother Ashlee Gadd helps you set aside the guilt and discover the sacred connection between creating and mothering. One-part commissioning, one-part pep talk, Create Anyway will propel you forward with a renewed sense of energy, purpose, and enthusiasm for stewarding the creative dreams God has planted in your heart—right alongside the diapers and carpool. 
 
 
 
Here's to creating in the margins of motherhood. 
 
 
 
Here's to creating anyway.

This is the account of Jesus’ first disciples, and he chose them after he was baptized by John the Baptist.  
You can find these biblical accounts in your bible from the following scriptures listed here: Matthew 8:23–27; Mark 1:17–20; Mark 4:36–41; Luke 5:4–11; and Luke 6:12–16 
                                             
          The next day John saw Jesus coming towards him, and he said, “Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world! This is the person, I said after I will come a man which is preferred before me: for he was before me. And I knew him not: but that he should be made visible to Israel, therefore, am I come baptizing with water to repentance.” 
 And John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from Heaven like a dove, and it sat on him.” 
            “And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said to me, ‘On whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he who baptizes with the Holy Ghost and fire.’ And I saw, and witnessed that this is the Son of God.” 
 The next day John stood up with two of his disciples; And looking on Jesus as he walked, he said, “Behold the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the world!”

A cancer diagnosis changes everything. 
 
Fear, uncertainty, and suffering become daily realities in the midst of cancer--not just for patients but also for families, friends, and caregivers. Where is God in this? 
  
In God Meets Us in Our Suffering, three pastors who journeyed through cancer together share their deeply personal stories. With honesty, compassion, and humor, they offer theologically rich reflections on illness and hope. This book explores how 
 
● we can navigate doubt and find strength in the theology of the cross; 
● God meets us in suffering with grace and power; 
● Psalm 23 guides us through uncertainty and suffering; and 
● laughter, love, and community can sustain us in the darkest moments. 
 
For those living with a serious illness and those journeying alongside them, this book offers comfort, courage, and a renewed trust in God's faithfulness.
