She was somewhere near 500 lbs. The exact number she'll never know, because the scale was only able to measure weight up to 450 lbs. But, contrary to popular belief, food wasn't the issue. It was anger, guilt, embarrassment, shame, grief, resentment, and fear. Athena would have to face those feelings to understand her path and cultivate a relationship with the unlikeliest of entities: God.

Elaine is someone that people would describe as "having it all together", an extrovert who loves people. It was, therefore, very out of character when in the summer of 2014, she isolated herself. Off work for almost six months, Elaine battled major depressive disorder. What was more challenging was the internal conflict she had between "faith and medication". As a suicide survivor, her memoir describes her journey going into the deepest darkest pit and with the help of medication coming out into the light.

Brother Lawrence was a 17th century Christian who had a dramatic spiritual awakening at the age of 18. Seeing a tree in winter, his soul suddenly opened to the presence of God. Within six years he had entered a Carmelite monastery in Paris, where he worked chiefly in the kitchen, cooking and cleaning. He practiced a simple and natural method. He merely turned his attention to the Divine Presence available at all times during any activity. He reports that he was as fully present with God while washing dishes in the kitchen as he was when partaking of the sacrament in worship.

A painfully honest story of human weakness and God's unending forgiveness. Thirteen years ago, amidst scandal, sin, and shattered lives, Michael English fell from the pinnacle of the Christian music world. In 1994, newspapers around the world blared the headline, "Gospel Singer Named Artist of...

This is a short and honest account of how God demonstrated his exceeding great mercy to his unworthy servant John Bunyan. This story specifically tells how Bunyan was converted. John Bunyan was a companion of sin and was troubled by sin. He fought temptation and sin in his own strength and lost, and in despair, he gave up hope of ever finding God’s mercy; but the Lord Jesus Christ at last delivered him from the guilt and terror that so often and so viciously troubled him.

À l’âge de vingt-huit ans, je me déclarais ouvertement lesbienne. Je venais de terminer un doctorat de littérature et d’études culturelles. Des universités m’enrôlaient pour faire progresser des idéologies de la gauche radicale dans le domaine administratif et dans le domaine de l’enseignement. J’étais persuadée que j’aidais à améliorer le monde. Mon intérêt pour la foi était purement intellectuel, et je n’avais pas l’intention de changer. Je n’ai pas demandé à me convertir au christianisme. Comment tout cela a-t-il pu arriver à une fille futée comme moi ?

Deep Discipleship equips churches to reclaim the responsibility of discipling people at any point on their journey.

The New English Standard Version translation is founded on the belief that the words of the Bible are the very words of God. Setting itself apart from other translations by sacrificing neither accuracy nor readability, the ESV is an "essentially literal" translation that seeks to duplicate the original texts while taking into account the differences between modern English and the original languages.

Judge not, lest ye be judged. This timeless wisdom has guided the Anglican Church, fostering a certain tolerance of eccentricity among its members. Good thing, too. The 'Mermaid of Morwenstow' excommunicated a cat for mousing on a Sunday. When he was late for a service, Bishop Launcelot Fleming commandeered a navy helicopter. 'Mad Jack' swapped his surplice for a leopard skin and insisted on being carried around in a coffin. And then there was the man who, like Noah’s evil twin, tried to eat one of each of God’s creatures....

It also discusses the different “kinds” of prayer, which are sometimes referred to the ACTS of prayer—referring to prayers of Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication.

It’s sometimes difficult to recognize and acknowledge that our salvation is truly all by grace. We are often tempted to take at least some credit for who we are spiritually, and for making some significant progress in our walk with God. We may have made some good choices and decisions in our lives, while others made bad or foolish choices. And we may have seriously and humbly tried to do what is most pleasing to God when others went their own way apart from God.
