Stories Inspiring Faith

posted by admin

Stories inspiring faith abound. But faith is a strange thing. It cannot be proven even by true, awe-inpiring stories. But the stories are like seeds – perhaps like the short video that shows how long it takes for a bamboo shoot to grow.

It is my hope that these stories will be inspiring to you, that you will ponder them, that you will allow them to penetrate into your heart and that you will allow faith to rise up inside of you.

When our middle son disappeared in Hawaii in 1999, we realized more than ever before that life was much more than this tangible stuff we touch, see, smell and breathe every day. The eternal part, the spiritual part of life became just as real to us as the material and tangible part.

One of the reasons for this blog is to share that faith and that reality with you. I have carefully chosen each video, each book, each entry in the hopes that these stories will be inspiring to you. I apologize ahead of time of something strange appears here. Rest assured that it will be edited out as soon as possible.

Most importantly, we wanted to share our story with you. You can click on the link in the sidebar to see more about it and purchase either the e-book version or the print version of our book, Aloha is Forever.

Life in Death by Gibson, Lisa

Every since the terrorist attack of September 11th, the words “war on terror” have become firmly embedded in the global consciousness. Do we fall victim to bitterness and fear; or do we respond the way Jesus would respond in sacrificial love? These are the questions everyone must answer. As we look at news reports, terrorist attacks are only getting worse. This book gives the heart wrenching story of Lisa Gibson’s loss of her brother in the 1988 terrorist bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland and how her faith has allowed her to overcome that act of evil for good by serving in the country responsible. This book offers hope and encouragement for those struggling with fear and inspires faith to propel everyone to engage in this strategic battle. “This is a remarkable story of one woman’s struggle with tragedy and her care for those who many would say are her enemies.” Congressman Joseph R. Pitts “To reflectively read this book is to go farther in coming to terms with what God truly wants to see in Christians loving their enemies. Gibson takes it from religious poetry to teeth gritting reality. How I yearn that every Western Christian who is repulsed by Muslim terrorism would follow in her steps.” Dr. Greg Livingstone Founder of Frontiers Lisa Gibson is the Founder and Executive Director of the Peace and Prosperity Alliance. She is an attorney and has served in senior leadership positions with advocacy and global missions organizations. Lisa has a unique voice on global terrorism having lost her brother on the 1988 terrorist bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. She has seen the power and restoration that comes from seeing true justice, forgiveness andreconciliation in cases such as these.

Whispering in God’s Ear

Whispering in God's Ear
Glimpses of God Through the Eyes of Children
Children have spiritual truths to teach us-if only we will slow down long enough to listen. In these pages, speakers and authors such as Beth Moore, Kay Arthur, Phil Callaway, Gigi Graham, and Eugene Peterson share stories of simple faith and earnest prayers from their own childhoods as well as lessons learned from their children and grandchildren.
Inspiring and often humorous, “Whispering in God’s Ear “reminds us that children seem to have a direct connection to heaven. Their unbounded trust reveals a belief in a heavenly Father who cares about every detail of their lives. Their prayers show a confidence in a powerful God whose reach extends to every corner of their world. And their wholehearted expressions of love reflect a joy that can come only from the Giver of life.
This poignant collection of stories offers insight into the lives of favorite authors while giving a glimpse of God’s heart as seen through the eyes of the very young. Your spiritual life may never be the same after you encounter these little giants of faith.
