Bøger af Daniel J a Smith

In times of crisis, it's always healing to shore up the roots of your faith. This mindset is what guided author Daniel J. A. Smith to share Christ-centered reflections from the heart-reflections on faith, wisdom, and hope during one of the most tumultuous eras of our lifetime. Reflections during COVID-19: Devotions Written during the COVID-19 Pandemic is Smith's insightful collection of inspiring devotionals that will challenge you, uplift you, and encourage you with invaluable lessons learned from the season of life marked by the transformative changes of the year 2020. When Smith had to pause the church group he was leading due to COVID-19, he realized how such a time frequently leads to crises of faith. With this in mind, Smith took the responsibility to help guide his group however he could. Unable to meet in person, he was led to write a devotional based on his group's discussions, sharing life lessons for charting the unexpected obstacles, hardships, and moments of growth in their midst. Now sharing these devotionals with the world, Smith reveals powerful teaching that will inspire you to look at the tough times of life as opportunities for God to open your eyes to the truth of His Word. Discover ways in which you can grow more like Jesus no matter what turn your journey may take-even in a pandemic-as Smith's words leave a lasting impact on your heart, far after the end of COVID-19. As you embrace God's message revealed through these devotions, you will begin to heal and process what this pandemic taught you, with Smith's reflections equipping and strengthening you in your walk with Christ. Daniel J.A. Smith was born in Greensboro, North Carolina, and moved to Kansas City, Missouri when he was four. He still calls that city home. He graduated from Southwest Baptist University with a degree in History. He enjoys reading, especially fantasy, and loves listening to music, watching movies, and playing video games. Raised in the church all of his life, he has attended both liberal and conservative churches, making friends across denominational and political lines. As such, he sees the flaws of partisan fighting that hinder the church and ruin Christian fellowship. He hopes this book will be a voice of healing, and a reminder for Christians all over to put aside their petty differences and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ with everyone in the world. For only then will we be able to remake this world in God's image, the way it should have been all along.

It was a celebration to remember. A proclamation was sent out in the kingdom of Amira by Sovereign Apatmos for one and all in the kingdom to bring a gift to a celebration in honor of Elovah, the God of the Universe.However, it was the unexpected, simple gifts among the finest in the land that changed not only the minds but the hearts of those in the kingdom toward what it means to give of oneself. Author Daniel Smith provides readers with an engaging, heartfelt story about gratitude, faith, and selflessness through his children's fairy tale, The Most Special Gift.As all were grabbing up the best in the land as gifts for the celebration, many overlooked the two orphaned children who worked hard for what little they earned. Benny and Elvira wanted to also bring a gift to the celebration but between the two of them, not much was available. However, their decision to bring two gifts that meant the most to both of them would prove to be something that would change their lives, as well as the lives and mindsets of the kingdom, forever.Daniel began writing a story about the true meaning of giving gifts for a Christmas party years ago, but wasn't able to complete the story by the party. However, this seemed to entice his interest to write, creating three more fairy tales and a poem, all taking place in the magical land first set out in this story.He hopes that readers gain a stronger sense of the importance in giving gifts with no expectation for a return, which can help in sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with someone.Just as Benny and Elvira hoped their gifts would please the Sovereign and Elovah, however meager the gifts might be, we can only hope what we present to God will mean something to Him and help others draw closer to Him.
