The book 'Mercy Gone Wrong' expresses that all men are equal in all aspects except in exposure and ability to utilize opportunities that only God supplies. Hence, we have no reason to boast about our spiritual and material attainment and acquisition. Rather, as recipients of God's manifold mercies, we should eagerly show mercy to all men as we have the opportunity. In an in dept scriptural analysis, the book discusses that God exhibits His mercy in all His dealings with man. We should, therefore, by God's grace cultivate this special attribute, integrate it into our relationships, and view other people's failures from the periscope of mercy. The author explains how the practice of God's kind of mercy can bring blessings to a man and his progeny, drawing testimonies from his life and others. The book illustrates how and how not to show mercy and the blessings that follow mercy givers. In addition, the book offers a guide to people with limited compassion or who lack the push to act on their compassion to improve and become good mercy givers. In this era of economic recession, when men tend to be selfish and interested only in their own affairs, the book is a refreshing and motivating call for people to manifest abundant mercy while being watchful against the fraudulent practices of evil men. Mercy is a vital tool for spreading the gospel in a hurting world.
What Happens... When God Gets AngryGod created Heaven and earth and all that is in it. He created man and woman with His two hands and named them Adam and Eve. God told them they had total control of the Garden of Eden except one tree, "The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil." God did not want them to look at it or touch it or eat the fruit from it.The warning from God did not last long. Satan was after Adam and Eve as soon as God told them to stay away from the tree. Satan convinced them to eat the fruit so their eyes would be opened and thus sin was born. God threw Adam and Eve out of the Garden and into the world of sin that the man and woman had created by disobedience.Several hundred years later God saw the wickedness of the Adam and Eve generations. He decided to clear the earth of sinful man. God killed every land born creature with a flood of water that was above the mountain tops. God spared Noah, his wife, their three sons and their wives. Only eight people survived the flood. Those eight people produced today's world population of eight billion.Hundreds of years later, God again looked at the sins of mankind and was disturbed. He looked at two of the worst cities, Sodom and Gomorrah, and decided to destroy four cities in the evil valley. Abraham asked God to spare the cities if he could find ten righteous people within the city of Sodom. Abraham could only find four righteous people, so God destroyed the cities with fire and brimstone.Now, hundreds of years after Sodom and Gomorrah, God is looking at the world today. He is deciding how long He will wait before He sends Christ to rapture the church-age saints and destroy sinful mankind.In the Bible book of Revelation, God explains some of the events that will take place during the Tribulation period of seven years. I have tried to capture the consequences in this book. After these events there will be no reason for God to look from Heaven to earth anymore because Heaven will be on earth.It is all there, right in the Bible.
Shortly after Carlos Hamilton began his medical practice in Houston, he inherited an over-sized piano that had belonged to his great-grandmother. The difficulty in moving the instrument, even in the 20th century, made him wonder how-and why-a family in 1857 would move it from North Carolina to a rural east Texas plantation so that a ten-year-old child could study music. Although Berta Smith Wootters had died many decades before Hamilton was born, her children continued to express great affection and admiration for her. Her husband, John Wootters, had died young, likely from complications of a Civil War wound, yet she persevered, managing her affairs and guiding all her children to university educations and productive lives. Wanting to discover more about the life of this strong woman, Hamilton traveled to Crockett, Texas where he met Edgar Pouncey, a descendant of a family of slaves who had come toTexas with the Smith family. As Pouncey related stories of the Smith family over a hundred years later, he spoke with respect and warmth. According to Pouncey, the Smiths' provisions for their former slaves allowed them to found a church and a school that still played vital roles in the community. The insight gained on this visit set the author on a decades long journey to understand his forbearers and their turbulent and tragic times. A Rose Blooms in Texas is the culmination of his meticulous research on the life of Berta Smith Wootters and the story begins with her as a student at Fairfield Female College. Hamilton presents the narrative as historical fiction and augments it with original letters and documents. What emerges is a compelling picture of life in East Texas during the Civil War and the strength of character of a woman who was able to preserve her family's values of education and enlightened treatment of others-and her beloved piano-for future generations.
Growing up in the Midwest, Lori Harrington's father taught her to enjoy the great outdoors. Walks along the Illinois River and drives in the countryside as well as vacations all across this country, she learned to appreciate the beauty of nature from her dad. At one point in her early adult years, her father told her she needed to go for a hike and get some of God's Green Medicine to clear her mind and refresh her perspective. This term became a running theme in their relationship and they often referenced getting a 'daily dose of God's Green Medicine.'After the passing of Lori's father, she pulled out boxes of letters from him to revisit memories and realized how the relationship she had with her father affected her life. Having tossed the idea around of making their reference of God's Green Medicine into something more tangible, she decided it was time to share it with others.The basis of Green Medicine is God created the earth and nature. We are surrounded by God in His Creation. Through good and bad times, struggles in life and relationships, God is all around us. But this book is also about the impact a parent can have in their child's life. Lori weaves together excerpts from her father's letters with incidents of family and friends and her photography. You are invited to journey through Lori's experiences with life, relationships, and nature and, if you like, journal your own Green Medicine encounters.
