Ways which may include the death of a loved one, an illness, disappointments, betrayal, or parental abandonment. GOD has allowed us to endure many trials, situations and tribulations. When planting a tree you have to consider the soil. Not all trees can grow or thrive in the same dirt. Certain soils produce different fruit. Therefore, the various types of trials we go through yield different results as well. Turning Trials into Triumphs is an anthology of events that could have left the contributors bitter, but instead their circumstances evolved for the better. The ladies of VLR believe that the attitude we display through trials , will determine whether an individual will emerge victorious. Out of our greatest trials, comes the defining moments of life that lay the foundation for building the strength of our character. Turning Trials into Triumphs was written by seven members of Victorious Ladies Reading (VLR) Book Club who wanted to encourage others to conquer every problem or situation that may arise by trusting GOD even when you can't trace GOD. Watch him turn your TRIAL into a TRIUMPH! 00:43:00Read You LaternoBooks Clubs,Books,Inspirtational.,VLR.

Could her husband, Solomon, be cheating on her, after three kids and another on the way? More dreams come, and the events of her everyday life begin to match the events foretold in her dreams. As they do, she sees a path of faith and resilience that she never realized existed. She joins the Alliance Crusaders for Christ, founded by her pastor, Isaiah Williams. She learns that their stated purpose as evangelists is only part of a deeper mission, to prepare the Church to survive the last days. Throughout this series of apocalyptic novels, there will be references to things you know to be true, and extrapolations to things that are likely to occur. This first book of the Miss the Mark Series places, in a fictional setting, things that do occur in the lives of people who follow Christ, along with miracles and gifts from God. We are never perfect, but we know the One who guides our lives.

I am a pearl will empower you to accept God’s love and forgiveness, recognize that no matter what you have done or what you have experienced you were created for a purpose, and that God sees you as a pearl of great value.   Based on the parable of the pearl found in Matthew 13:45-46, I am a Pearl unfolds key principles in overcoming painful pasts, improving the present, and embracing the future.    One may ask, “Why a pearl and not a diamond?” When you study the pearl--the meaning, the value, the symbolism, and the creation process--it is a natural comparison. The pearl is the only gem that emerges from nature requiring no cutting or sculpting to enhance its splendor. Like a pearl, you entered into the world as God created you; man cannot take credit for your magnificence.Prepare yourself for a life changing perspective on your experiences, and confirmation of God’s unfailing love.Always remember, "You are His perfect creation, created for His glory." 00:45:00Read You LaternoWynter Patterson,Motivation,Books,Read You Later,La Sheera LeeOne of our continual struggles, as women, is to believe in our value in spite of our pain and past mistakes.
