The Spiritual Journey of a Very Imperfect Man: Part 1 – A Rollercoaster Life

the spiritual journey of a very imperfect man - christian books“Part 1 covers the lives of the young Graham and Audrie (Aud) Martin, how we got hitched, the beginnings of our spiritual journeys, and then gradually follows on to how, at 60 years old, I experienced a complete mental breakdown….and how I survived.”

Every tunnel, no matter how dark, has a light at the end when Christ is involved, even if this cannot be perceived at the time. Back in the day, as a young man, I had strong atheistic views and consistently believed the Bible to be a load of rubbish right up until the time I read it. This aggressive and confrontational approach persisted until my mid-twenties when, after a long struggle, God immediately answered my ‘exploratory prayer’ to convert my best friend, Bill Collins, who was living in California at the time.

God Can…

God Can By Tanya Lord - christian booksGod can… inspires and encourages readers to confidently believe in the power of prayer and be expectant than God can and is easily able to do superabundantly more than we dare imagine! God is very much interested in our ‘day to day’ lives and so very much more. This book inspires readers that miracles, signs and wonders can and do happen every day.

She may just be an ordinary housewife, but she loves Jesus and has seen Him do amazing things and has experienced his love and favour, proving He can do what seems impossible making it possible.

Evidence for Conviction

evidence for conviction - christian booksAs a Police Detective I spent much of my time gathering evidence in cases to secure a conviction at court. Evidence For Conviction explores another kind of conviction. That unshakable belief that there is a God and that the bible is his authentic and trustworthy word. This book was inspired by my desire to explain to those closest to me, the grounds for my Christian beliefs. Written with two different groups of people in mind. Firstly, the sceptic, to demonstrate that far from being a blind faith, essentially a leap into the dark, Christianity is actually an evidence based faith. Hence in this sense it is a step out into light.

Divine Guidance

Divine Guidance - christian booksHere is a book which emphasizes, through personal experiences, powerful illustrations and carefully selected verses from Scripture, God’s part in that decision making process in marriage. It tells my story of how God has provided direction by means of the Bible and preaching of the Word, through conversation with others, through the Holy Spirit, through prayer and silence, through coincidences and, finally, through “fleeces.”

The Year God Introduced Himself With A Prayer For Non-BelieversAs a child growing up in rural Suffolk, I was surrounded by the countryside, in awe of this amazing creation in which I lived.

Do Not Stop the Little Children

5 Books Great for Gifts

These 5 books are great to give to someone you love this Christmas. Check them out, and let us know what you think!

Sharing the Faith by Ali Ansarifar

sharing the faith - christian books

“It is encouraging to know God has thought of a similar plan for rescuing humanity from hopeless, insecurity, moral decay and ultimately death since the dawn of time. Now let’s consider God’s rescue plan as recorded in the old and new testaments of the Bible….

Like the rescuers of the Chilean miners, God has a plan for human salvation which has been unfolding over centuries of revelation.”

Sharing the Faith covers topics such as the key message of the Gospel of Christ, God’s plan for advancing humanity, the narrow path to salvation.

Jesus – Dead or Alive? The Evidence by Dr John Dyer

“The earliest Christians affirmed that Christ’s saving death and physical resurrection were certainties of ‘first importance’….

For many years I have studied the resurrection stories in the Gospels and have held captive by the extraordinary claim that after being pronounced dead by the Roman authorities and buried in a Jewish grave, Jesus rose again.”

This book investigates the resurrection appearances of Jesus with a view to establishing their authenticity.

 

ALAN – Autism, Love and Neurosis by Jaqueline Freeston

web_1cover_alan - christian books

“This book is by far the most emotional & moving I have read in a long time, I was hooked from page 1. Jacqueline has such a beautiful way with words & makes you feel like you are part of her wonderful family & know all the visitors that passed through her front door over the years. I laughed & cried many times & will most definitely be reading it again. Thank you!” – Paula

An inspiring book about the lives of twenty-five strangers who occupied a spare room. It also tells of the authors son Alan who had autism.

 

Encounters with God in Brazil by Dr John Dyer

“Many of the stories that unfold in this book are know only to me and my wife Maria. Of course, the participants involved in each story may well remember these moments with fondness, laughter or anguish, and perhaps a mixture of all three… The story and stories are being told here, with the desire to make known the mystery and wonder of his (God) ways, in his dealings with ordinary human beings….God is here for us when we need him; in situations beyond our control and also those of our own making.”

This book claims that God is directly involved in life’s situations, that in him we live and move and have our being.

Vitamins for the Soul by Alan K Scotland

Vitamins for the Soul - christian books

“There are times when we all lose hope. In recent years, we have had to deal with the financial crash 2008 and a global pandemic, which devastated many lives. Even without such large-scale events, our capacity to hop is constantly being tested…

God’s compassion for us never falters and belief in Him fills our hearts with joy that cannot be taken away.”

About facing challenges that test our resilience and we all need to nurture our vitality. Every one of us has a soul and we have a responsibility to take good care of it by pursuing what God wants for our lives.

Children's Books

The Best Christmas Books for Children of All Ages

Snowfalls, crackling fires, and the smell of gingerbread houses fill the room. Every brightly decorated shop is saying “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.” There is only one reason for it. Christmas is coming. Cuddling up by the fireplace with such a great book in hand is my favourite part of Christmas. Be in the festive spirit with some Christmas-themed children’s stories. They are perfect for making love in front of the tree while enjoying beverages and chocolate. The book collection is suitable for all ages child and contains holiday favourites and some new choices. So, today’s blog topic is “The Best Christmas Books for Children of All Ages.” Let us begin.

Letters From Father Christmas

The story covers everything from the naughty deer who threw gifts everywhere to the polar bear’s careless fall and landing on Father Christmas’ roof of a house. The children’s books are covered with superb calligraphy and pictures. Sadly, as Tolkien’s kids grow older, you will see how the letters change. The themes get deep the messages get sadder when children stop writing to “Santa Claus.” It is a piece to enjoy, too.

The Polar Express

A popular classic about the magic of Christmas, growing up, and the strength of belief is The Polar Express. On Christmas night, as the hero, a small child, awakes, he finds a train waiting outside the door. The Polar Express is a children’s book. The Polar Express is better enjoyed in a comfy chair next to a warm fire, the audiobook version has music playing in the background. All we want to say about the audiobook’s narrator, Liam Neeson, is that he is superb. Then remember that Chris Van Allsburg’s beautifully drawn pictures, which put the “wonder” in “wonderful,” help you feel the excitement of a journey on The Polar Express.

The Velveteen Rabbit

Is reading The Velveteen Rabbit as a child, which always leads to a sobfest, needed? It is unlikely. Yet, it does not matter if you’re reading this famous, well-worn story for the first or 199th time. With each reading, The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams Bianco will surprise, charm, and inspire you. Know of its too-simple idea, which focuses on a stuffed rabbit’s desire to come alive. It is the story of the velveteen-sewn rabbit that was made as a Christmas gift for a young child.

Holidays on Ice

Christmas on Ice is the ideal fit if you need some Christmas laughter. It is an essay book on Christmas that was released by renowned humorist and American gem David Sedaris. It is not your usual feel-good holiday read, either. One children’s book is about a Christmas author who spent his time rescuing a prostitute, another tells the story of a local play. Even Sedaris’ classic piece, “Santaland Diaries,” an amazing description of his memorable time working as an elf at Macy’s, can be found in the book. Sedaris could be the droller version of Santa Claus, which you never knew you wanted until now. He is at once dark, funny, and just a little bit sick.

Seven Times Brighter by Cath Sheridan

web_seven_times_brighter-cover - christian booksJust published! Seven Times Brighter: A Story of Identity, Purpose, Hope and The Battle for our Treasure by Cath Sheridan. In this book we get to witness the promises of our Father unfold, against a backdrop of heartbreak and loss, we also get to see how Satan strategically builds a database of unique intelligence around the general weaknesses of humankind.

This is no ordinary story. This is a story that belongs to us all. This is a story about treasure…treasure, that if used well and as intended, will not only set us up for greatness, but also deliver the plans and purposes of heaven. It’s not financial treasure, no, it’s way more valuable than that – this treasure is you and it’s me – we are the treasure, we are heaven’s solutions. We carry the crazy wonderful purposes that heaven is depending on. That heaven designed with precision and placed deliberately within us before our precious feet touched this earth. Yes, we arrived with a mission!

But….. wait, there is one, who licks his lips and wriggles his wizened fingers at the thought of getting his filthy hands on you and I and our valuable treasure and he is a master of illusion and trickery – and he is an extremely patient observer. So, as we begin to dig into the one who created our treasure, to find the purpose we were created for; to find the crazy wonderful ‘ME’; we must first learn how to outsmart the one who knows its value and potential – way more than we know ourselves!

Cath Sheridan would instinctively describe herself as a ridiculously proud Momma, a Nomad, a ponderer and a relentless and passionate pursuer of purpose! Besides being a creative and gifted wordsmith, she is also a professional Business and Marketing Strategist, who’s spent much of her career developing and delivering organisational and customer value, by simply getting to know people well and caring about what they care about.

With an uncanny ability to somehow ‘see’ the unseen and ‘hear’ the unspoken, Cath is steadfast in her resolve to make sense of the fabulous, the not so fabulous, the unconventional and the downright peculiar that is ‘ME’ and that is ‘YOU’. “Life is messy and wonderful and crazy and perilous and beautiful and painful and blessed and disappointing…… And God so graciously uses ALL of it, if we’d only turn up as ourselves and say “YES! Seven Times Brighter is God birthed, God breathed and hopefully a raw, transparent and revelatory testimony that I pray brings Him ALL the glory as it brings others. freedom, life and hope.”

CSAs a longstanding member of Crossgate Church in the North West of England, Cath leads the Church Intercessors Ministry, has run classes on discovering purpose, led various small groups, continues to be heavily involved in the building design and creative team, along with being part of the mid-week teaching/ speaking team. Everything else there is to know about her (EVER!) is in the book!

In this honest, raw, often funny, often tender; yet heart wrenching and gritty retelling, Cath walks us through her ‘whole’ story. Using her wonderfully vivid and visionary storytelling style, that draws readers right into the room with her, this book gloriously unveils the divine calling on our lives, whilst shining a spotlight on how the great deceiver comes to steal, kill and destroy. It serves as both a promise and a warning!
