Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One couple's inspiring memoir of healing a Rwandan village, raising a family near the old killing fields, and building a restaurant named Heaven. Newlyweds Josh and Alissa were at a party and received a challenge that shook them to the core: do you think you can really make a difference? Especially in a place like Rwanda, where the scars of genocide linger and poverty is rampant? While Josh worked hard bringing food and health care to the country's rural villages, Alissa was determined to put their foodie expertise to work. The couple opened Heaven, a gourmet restaurant overlooking Kigali, which became an instant success. Remarkably, they found that between helping youth marry their own local ingredients with gourmet recipes (and mix up "the best guacamole in Africa") and teaching them how to help themselves, they created much-needed jobs while showing that genocide's survivors really could work together. While first a memoir of love, adventure, and family, A Thousand Hills to Heaven also provides a remarkable view of how, through health, jobs, and economic growth, our foreign aid programs can be quickly remodeled and work to end poverty worldwide.

She fought with her little sister, went to school, and teased her brother. Then, in one horrifying night, everything changed. Political troubles unleashed a torrent of violence upon the Tutsi ethnic group. Jeanne’s family, all Tutsis, fled their home and tried desperately to reach safety. They—along with nearly 1 million others—did not survive. The only survivor of her family’s massacre, Jeanne witnessed unspeakable acts. But through courage, wits, and sheer force of will, she survived. Based on a true story, this haunting novel by Jeanne’s adoptive mother makes unforgettably real the events of the 1994 Rwandan genocide as one family experienced it. Jeanne’s story is a tribute to the human spirit and its capacity to heal.

Download or read book Heaven's Lessons written by Steve Sjogren and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2013-02-18 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If you’d asked me who God is on December 9, the year of my accident, I would have been able to give you a fairly cohesive but theoretical answer. A day later all of that changed.” A simple surgery went horribly wrong. Steve Sjogren died on the operating table. He encountered a heavenly world where he felt infinite peace. And then he had to come back—back to a physical reality filled with pain and disability and an endless line of tests. The drama of dying suddenly paled in comparison to the trauma of living. Sjogren could not face this new existence with his same old comfortable understanding of God. “I had minimized God,” Sjogren says. “Somehow, over time, he had become fairly predictable—like he could be outlined, fully grasped, and contained in a neat set of mere ideas. Now I saw that he apparently wasn’t all that impressed with my cool little notebooks.” One day in heaven followed by hundreds in agony forged a deeper and stronger faith than Sjogren could have crafted on his own. In Heaven’s Lessons, Sjogren shares his experiences and the life-changing ways they have affected his perspective on success, suffering, and the mysteries of God.

Download or read book Heaven on Earth written by Pneuma Phillips and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heaven on Earth - Enjoying the Abundant Life by Pneuma Phillips is a must read book that focuses on the life of the regenerated and recreated Christian. The ultimate will and plan of God is that mankind enjoys the fullness of Gods love and blessings. This sole intention is demonstrated when God gave up Jesus to die for the sins of mankind. This Book highlights on the life after the cross, the fully paid life. (i.e Life after Jesus death, burial and resurrection). When a man accepts and believes this sacrifice of Jesus, he automatically qualifies to become a partaker of this Heaven on Earth Pneuma Phillips tries to draw out. The scriptures below explains this regenerated and recreated life whilst also stemming out the benefits accruable when one is associated with Jesus. 2 Corinthians 5:17-18 (NKJV) Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold all things have become new John 10:10 (NKJV) The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly Pneuma Phillips has successfully and masterfully shown in this enriching Book how one can adequately be a partaker of this Heaven on Earth; believe and depend on the Fathers LOVE, be established in the GRACE of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, fellowship with and yield to the Holy SPIRIT, promote the UNITY of the Brethren and accept who you are in CHRIST. The third of a series of books (others include Out of the Pit and Staying out of the Pit), Heaven On Earth is a complete eliminator of mindsets that accepts poverty, failure, sickness etc as the will of God.
