Odyssey of Hope
ISBN: 9781491841532 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In Holy Encounters, we listen to the other person's pain--listen, just listen--and let God's holy word breathe through us to speak words of comfort and healing to a fellow sufferer. Such holy moments prove that to be alive is to be blessed. Sooner or later suffering comes to us all. We may ask, "Why?" But then we need to ask also, "Why is there beauty?" "Why is there redemption?" "Why does the daffodil bloom every April?" As the folk song says, the answer is blowin' in the wind, in the breath of God. It's spelled H-O-P-E.

His mother's water broke when she was only eight months along. Yet the doctor delivered a healthy boy one month later by forceps.

Isaiah meets new neighbor Tommy Wiu to whom he'd given his ice cream cone when Tommy dropped his at the previous summer's ice cream festival. "Thank you," Tommy says, "only I prefer chocolate." When the boys...
