Do You See What I See?
by Ross ParsleyIf a poll were taken of Old Testament Jews on the birth of their Lord and Savior, what percentage do you think would have predicted that the cast of characters would be a virgin teenager betrothed to a lowly carpenter, barnyard animals, and stinky shepherds? Probably not many.In Do You See What I See? pastor Ross Parsley shows how God uses ordinary people to fulfill His plan and purpose. He gives a warm, humorous, and uniquely honest look into the nativity story. Along the way he highlights how God's favor and plans are often followed by dashed hopes, heartache, and disappointment. But he also shows that if we're faithful with what God puts in front of us we can accomplish the extraordinary.
Do You Sometimes Feel Like a Nobody?
by Tim StaffordBack Cover: “You aren't a nobody, even if you sometimes feel that way. You are somebody. Why? Because God has made you, and you matter to him.

Do You Think I'm Beautiful?
by Angela ThomasThis book is for women who know, perhaps only deep in their heart, that they need an answer to the question, "Do you think I'm beautiful?" Readers will come to understand that the question is uniquely feminine, placed there by the Creator to woo them to Himself. Along the way, women will learn about the distractions that can keep them from the One who calls them beautiful, what it takes to return to His embrace, and what delights await them there. Angela's skillful, moving writing style is peppered with warm and funny stories from her own life that readers will immediately identify with. And the practical Bible teaching Angela offers will help readers bridge the gulf between the life a woman longs for and the life she actually has.
Do You Think I'm Beautiful? Bible Study and Journal
by Angela ThomasSo many women today grapple with body image. Teenage girls starve themselves because they think they are fat. Older women explore the world of plastic surgery, desperately trying to turn back the clock. But more unfortunate is the woman suffering from poor soul image-the woman who can't see herself as beautiful even on the inside."Do you think I'm beautiful?" is an emotionally and spiritually charged question. But it is one that Angela Thomas believes is universal to all women-whether they adamantly deny it or announce it each time they enter a room. Until a woman gives herself permission to ask this question, and until she asks the only One who can ultimately answer it, fulfillment will be elusive. This workbook allows readers to apply the lessons Angela has learned on her own feminine journey, as she asked this question, searching for an answer in all the wrong places. Excerpts from the book are paired with in-depth Bible study questions and ample space for recording thoughts and responses.
Do Your Best and Trust God for the Rest
by James W. MooreIn Do Your Best and Trust God for the Rest, popular author James W. Moore talks about the idea that God doesn't expect us to be perfect. Instead, God simply asks us to be faithful, and then God will do and be what we cannot. Moore, through personal experience, shares how "God has the power to redeem! God can take our weaknesses, our foibles, our feeble efforts and redeem them and use them for good. God can take our defeats and turn them into victories!" This book contains a discussion guide.
Do Your Children Believe?: Becoming Intentional About Your Family's Faith and Spiritual Legacy
by Terence ChatmonAre your children ready to live out their faith in the real world? Most parents who value Christian faith want their children to enjoy a vibrant, growing relationship with God, both now and throughout their lives. But few of those parents ever attach this hope to an ongoing plan; therefore, they fail to lay a reliable spiritual track in front of the fast-moving train of family life. This book is a junction point where deep parental desire meets workable design and where timid inadequacy meets Christ’s sufficiency. It’s where individual families become multiplication factories, exerting a lasting impact not only on their coming generations but even on the culture at large. The death of Joshua and his contemporaries was barely old news in Israel before the people of God experienced a Judges 2:10 moment: “There arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord or the work that he had done” (ESV). One generation is all it takes. One generation who stops remembering. One generation who stops creating. One generation blinded to God’s real work in their lives who then subtly quiets the expectation of His new work in succeeding generations. Do Your Children Believe? appears at a time in history when another Judges 2:10 moment doesn’t sound so incredibly far-fetched—a day when many people’s only real knowledge of God comes from what they’ve heard and read about, not what they’ve actually seen and experienced, and when His work is more about the dutiful following of rules than the daily adventure of walking with Him as Lord. Imagine, instead, a generation of your family who knows God with intimate familiarity. Who doesn’t just pretend at faith but actually lives it. Kids who can tell you what they believe and why it matters. Teenagers who handle adversity with the resilient joy of godly wisdom. A family who prays together and worships together, growing into young adults who are equipped and inspired to keep this torch ablaze from the moment their own new families begin. This book is here to make that reality happen, written by an author equipped with not only a passion for the concept but also a proven plan for success—a wealth of first-hand personal stories from his wife and kids for how they’ve put this plan into living action with remarkable blessings in tow. When God puts His power behind families who embrace this kingdom call, on-the-ground change will result in off-the-charts revival.

Do Your Om Thing: Bending Yoga Tradition to Fit Your Modern Life
by Rebecca PachecoYoga, Meet Life.Sometimes an hour-long yoga class is the only chance we get to connect meaningfully with our bodies and our minds during a week otherwise full of work, family, and the daily grind. Have you ever wondered how would it feel to bring that experience of awareness and calm out of the yoga studio and into your everyday life? After all, we know that practicing yoga can give us a leaner body and more sculpted limbs, but isn't its most important benefit the way it makes us feel? In Do Your Om Thing, master yoga teacher and creator of the popular blog OmGal.com Rebecca Pacheco shows us that the true practice of yoga is about much more than achieving the perfect headstand or withstanding an hour-long class in a room heated to 100 degrees. "Yoga is not about performance," she tells us, "it's about practice, on your mat and in your life. If you want to get better at anything what should you do? Practice. Confidence, compassion, awareness, joy—if you want more of these—and who doesn't?—yoga offers the skills to practice them."In her warm, personal, and often hilarious prose, Rebecca translates yogic philosophy for its twenty-first-century devotees, making ancient principles and philosophy feel accessible, relatable, and genuinely rooted in the world in which we live today. And by illuminating how the guiding principles of yoga apply to our modern lives, Rebecca shows us that the true power of a yoga practice is not physical transformation, but mental and spiritual liberation.
Do Yourself a Favor...Forgive: Learn How to Take Control of Your Life Through Forgiveness
by Joyce MeyerBuilding on her signature message of using the mind to master difficult emotions, Joyce Meyer focuses on the most destructive, insidious one of all: anger. It is responsible for broken relationships, sleepless nights, high blood pressure and ulcers. It destroys friendships, marriages and families, not to mention peace of mind. Anger is especially hard to handle for many Christians who have learned from childhood that "good Christians don't get angry." Meyer argues that properly handled, anger is an alert system that something is wrong and needs to be resolved.In her latest book, she delves into the important process of forgiving, explaining its positive impact on the roots, the forms and the results of anger.Why forgive? Joyce explains that forgiving is the only thing that can free one from the terrible turmoil that anger causes to spill over into every part of life.Meyer understands that life will never be fair, but that is not a reason to let anger destroy our well-being and health. This is her guide to navigating that thorny territory and finding true peace.
Do Yourself a Favour ... Forgive: Learn How to Take Control of Your Life Through Forgiveness
by Joyce MeyerForgiveness is easier said than done and is one of the most difficult personal issues to deal with. When people fail to forgive, it damages - often ruins - relationships, causes stress and other health problems and can turn life and work into a prison of the mind. Without forgiveness, anger and bitterness become a cauldron of poison. The anger doesn't go away - it just gets worse.In DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR ... FORGIVE, Joyce Meyer helps the reader transform the simple phrase 'I forgive you' into a statement of true meaning that can take relationships to a deeper level.By addressing where the need to forgive comes from, Joyce teaches readers to understand the importance of forgiveness, rather than letting anger's destructive forces take over their lives.
Doble bendición
by Mark BattersonEl pastor y autor bestseller del New York Times invita a los lectores a buscar, reconocer y aplicar cada bendición de Dios. Él facilita las herramientas necesarias para tomar inventario de nuestras bendiciones y participar en lo que él denomina como una doble bendición, ese momento en el que uno aprovecha de una bendición recibida para bendecir doblemente a otra persona. Mark Batterson cree firmemente que es posible aprovechar al máximo las bendiciones de Dios, pero hacer eso puede lucir diferente a lo que uno creería. La primera ola de bendición es lo que Dios te da: tiempo, lo que amas, talento. La doble bendición es la segunda parte en esta relación, es devolverle a Dios ayudando a otros. En estos tiempos donde el crecimiento divino y la organización espiritual se han reducido al hashtag #bendecido, Batterson invita y reta a los lectores a seguir la verdadera bendición glorificadora de Dios y sentir el gran impacto que es participar en la doble bendición.
Dobryd
by Ann CharneyBy the time I was five years old I had spent half my life hidden away in a barn loft. I had vague memories of the world outside and I listened to stories people around me told of that world, but it was hard for me to believe in its existence. Was there really anything beyond the wails of this barn? I knew that there were people out there, people other than my mother, my aunt, my cousin and another family who shared our hide-out, but it was hard for me to imagine them. At certain times, when a German patrol passed nearby and I was forced to remain still, I would try very hard to see beyond the walls of our shelter. Curiosity, doubt and fear coloured my images. Within their spectrum, I recreated the world from which I was banished. Half invented and half remembered, it grew in my mind and satisfied the longings that sometimes came over me.
Doc: The Rape of the Town of Lovell
by Jack OlsenDeep in the heart of Mormon country, Lovell, Wyoming, is a small town populated by decent, God-fearing people who abide by the most rigorous strictures of pure, clean living. The sacred institutions are church and family, the guiding light one's faith in God. Yet from the opening pages of "Doc" it is clear that something has gone terribly awry in Lovell. The trusted family doctor--the man who birthed the town's babies, cared for husbands, wives, and children, counseled and befriended the townspeople--was also raping his patients. Dr. John Story assaulted dozens of women, ranging in age from thirteen to seventy, over a period of twenty-five years. Brutally violating the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship, Dr. Story raped, molested, or sexually humiliated the women who most relied upon him. Mormons for the most part, many of the women were sexually ignorant until their wedding night, when they discovered what their doctor had been doing to them on the examining table. What is fascinating about "Doc" is not simply the terrible crimes but that no one spoke out against Story for years. The women's silence was based on disbelief, guilt, shame, and fear. They chastised themselves, thinking they had somehow "encouraged" the doctor, or imagined what they had felt or seen. They did not tell their husbands for fear they would kill Story, they did not tell their friends out of embarrassment. It took twenty-five years, with only a few whispers and hints of wrongdoing in the intervening time, before a small group of courageous, distressed women fought their town and the establishment to bring Dr. Story to justice. A veteran master of true crime, Jack Olsen moves in a new direction with "Doc." This is not solely the tale of a sociopath, like those whose complex, twisted minds Olsen has probed in such classics as "Son" and Cold Kill. It is the tale of women who are victims as well as heroes, of one man's violation of an entire town. Including the religious and social mores of Lovell in his scope, Olsen gently prods at communal secrets to unearth Dr. Story's legacy of pain and anger. Compassionate and sensitive, "Doc" is a tribute to a reporter of exceptional skill and humanity.

Doctor Always On Call: The Life of Robert H. Morris, M.D. as Told to His Son, Robert H. Morris II
by Robert H. MorrisRobert Morris II recorded eight hours of interviews with his father, Robert Morris, MD (1904-1990), from which he drafted an autobiography and presented it to his dad on his 85th birthday. Until Dr. Morris’ death 15 months later, they collaborated to correct and add to the original memories. Dr. Morris’ career was unique in several ways: He dropped out of medical school twice, returning to farming, then vowed that he’d become a doctor or die. The third time in medical school, he led his class most quarters. Marrying and nurse and settling in the village of Medina (pop. 400) in 1935, his practice and reputation—especially as a diagnostician—grew until his death. He made home visits extending to five counties, the last doctor to do so in this area, delivering some 2000 babies in the home, while also serving in four hospitals. He was a devout Christian and lay leader in his church. Two of his daughters married doctors, two others became career teachers who also married teachers, and his son had a varied career, ending as a writer. Dr. Morris tells both painful and humorous stories about his life.

A Doctor at Calvary: The Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ As Described by a Surgeon
by Dr Pierre Barbet The Earl of Wicklow‘We did not know; nobody has ever told us that!’ These were the words, spoken in tears, of Pope Pius XII on first reading passages from A Doctor at Calvary, Dr. Pierre Barbet’s scientific and reverent study of the Crucifixion of Christ. From an examination of the Holy Shroud of Turin—the authenticity of which Dr. Barbet accepts from medical evidence—a remarkable reconstruction of Christ’s terrible agony is presented in language that cannot fail to move the heart.What kind and what degree of physical torture did Our Lord suffer on Calvary? What was the medical cause of His death? These are among the questions answered in A Doctor at Calvary, one of the most significant contributions to Christological science in modern times. Christ’s preliminary sufferings—the agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, the scourging, the carrying of the cross—the wounds of the hands, in the feet, in the heart, the causes of the rapid death, and the entombment are recounted with the devotion and compassion of an ardent Christian and with a brilliant doctor’s accuracy of anatomical detail.‘Without doubt this is one of the most gripping and moving books to have been published in many a year.’—Harold C. Gardiner, S. J.‘As an aid to vivid viewing of the Passion, this book is peerless.’—Rev. John S. Kennedy, Balancing the Books‘…a profoundly moving study of the Passion.’—Commonwealth‘…a remarkable reconstruction of Christ’s agony and death.’—Jubilee‘This volume is an outstanding example of how science can contribute not only to theology, but to solid Christian piety, and thus be an aid to love of Christ.’—The Voice‘This is a gripping and powerful book of the highest stature.’—Voice of St. Jude‘Sincere study of this book will enable us for the first time to understand what is behind the words: ‘Jesus suffered and died for us.”—America
