Bøger af Rose Marie Martin

The answers to life's big decisions are rarely on a billboard. Through prayer, Christians ask the Lord for obvious answers that they hope will make it easier, but sometimes God's will is not all peaches and cream. After loyally following His will, it can be even more challenging for believers to then trust the outcome. In a recollection of her journey through a major decision in 2005, Rose Marie Martin offers inspirational insight into her family's dilemma whether to relocate to her husband's dream location or remain in a cushy comfort zone that was not as perfect as it appeared. As she details their eventual move and subsequent hiccups, Rose Marie reveals an unexpected twist that upset the family for months (and years to come). Did they misinterpret God's will, and would the damaging effects have been thwarted if they had not taken a leap of faith? The conclusion is a hindsight reflection determined nearly two decades later. To Stay or Go chronicles a couple's leap of faith as they attempted to discern whether God was prompting a big decision or if they were fulfilling a selfish longing.

Perfect for an individual or small group study! Women in THE WORD delves deep into women of the Bible, some who are unlikely to be searched but were used by God for His own creative purposes. There are over thirty messages on familiar women such as Sarai & Hagar, Hannah, Jezebel, Gomer, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, as well as the unfamiliar (and unknown) names of Widow of Zarephath, Gentile Mother of Faith, and Pontius Pilate's Wife. Not all of them wore halos, but there is much to be learned from each. Unfortunately, many young and older women do not understand the historical context of passages and find the Bible boring which is the writer's fuel to write. The devotions are quick, easily understood, powerful short studies written for young women ages 13 thru 99 to get fired up about THE WORD. No more yawning! Each chapter ends with "Going Deeper" for the reader to explore and ponder the study a little more. The final chapter wraps up with "You" -- a surprise twist life challenge.
