This book acknowledges that there is not one simple formula for forgiving. It offers no checklist to pursue freedom from bitterness or resentment. Nor does it rely on an ultimatum that God will not forgive you unless you forgive others. Instead, it encourages you to understand your own heart and the obstacles that make forgiveness difficult. Through exposition of Scripture and compelling real-life examples this Book extends God's invitation for you to come to him. Bring him your burdened heart and take his powerful and loving hand. He will compassionately journey with you on a path that you find or construct with his help. It is a Book about forgiveness, but it is also a Book about trust and grace and hope for a closer walk with God. Some of the things that this Book will teach you are how to:See what forgiveness is and is notAnalyze an offenseDiscern pettinessMake amendsRespond to persistent offensesForgive the most profound hurtsGain perspectiveConfront your offenderForgive yourself and Godand much more...

Linda Brumley was served "beggar's purses" in a dim sum restaurant and made an apt spiritual analogy: Just as tasty morsels were placed in wonton wrap and cinched at the top, so God places in our beggar's purses whatever we need for life and godliness. We must simply come to him with humility, admitting our spiritual poverty and need for his grace.A woman who "laughs at the days to come," Linda is known for her deep and insightful faith. She shares personal confession in every chapter, enabling a connection with the reader that is borne of common aspirations and familiar shortcomings.Telling about the loss of both breasts to cancer, her husband's health challenges, her mother's Alzheimer's disease, and the day-to-day happenings of life, Linda takes us on her journey of faith.Third in the "Wisdom for Life" series of women's devotional books, My Beggar's Purse will open the windows to your soul and bring in the fresh, crisp breeze of God's Spirit.

Upon hearing the word "holy," what pops into your mind? Holy Bible? Holy God? Do you mentally search for a synonym-sacred, pure, sinless, perfect, pious, or religious-thinking one of those exposes its depths of meaning?In the original Hebrew and Greek, the word "holy" is most often defined as simply "set apart." God claimed this distinction for himself early on: "I am the Lord your God... I am holy" (Leviticus 11:44-45).God alone is completely holy. He is set apart in every facet of his being. He calls us, his people, to be holy (II Peter 3:11-12). We can only learn to partake of his holiness by knowing what he is like so we can imitate him and access whatever part of his holiness we are able to grasp. This should be a focus of every Christian because "without holiness no one will see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14).Here are some of the areas that Linda addresses where holiness must be a vital motivation in a life dedicated to God: ¿ Meditation¿ Peace¿ Patience¿ Goodness¿ Faithfulness¿ Gentleness¿ Self-Control¿ Jealousy¿ Joy and many more
