The author provides fifty three brief reflections on men of strength in the Bible, highlighting their acts of compassion and showing how strength of heart enables compassion. While a man's compassion may be mistaken for softness or weakness, in truth it reveals underlying strength. Each reflection is accompanied by a reference to a key passage of Scripture, a prayer to make the reflection useable for a devotion, and questions for reflection or discussion that are woven into the text. Among the men included are: Esau, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Boaz, David, Solomon, Job, Isaiah, Daniel, Hosea, The Centurion, Peter, Luke, the Good Samaritan, The Prodigal's Father, The Tax Collector, Zacchaeus, Andrew, John, The Jailer, Paul, and Jesus. Of related interest: She is Worthy. "Showing compassion is not something that is often thought of as being strong, but it is . When men are strong in heart, they have the ability to show compassion. Although the compassion they show may be mistaken for weakness or softness, it is actually a sign of true strength. Men who have the ability to show compassion are able to fully experience all of life's emotions. They know joy and sorrow and they can give hugs and shed tears." --from the Introduction

Beyond Limitations

Miracles happen every day. Expect yours. With these encouraging words as a theme, Marjorie L. Kimbrough examines how everyday miracles have an amazing, yet often unacknowledged, impact on people's lives. Sometimes, she says, we do not recognize everyday ways in which God intervenes in our lives, and, as a result, we miss opportunities to strengthen our faith as we work to realize the reign of God here on earth.The book consists of brief stories of people who have experienced everyday miracles firsthand. Each story reveals how something changed a life, and, in turn, strengthened faith. The persons whose stories are recounted consider themselves to have been touched by a miracle.
