Bigger: Rebuilding the Broken
by Kristan DooleyBrokenness always leads to bigger in the hands of the ultimate Rebuilder . . . When Kristan Dooley met a first grader fighting an intense form of cancer amid unimaginable living conditions, she pleaded with God to make sense of it all. God handed her the word bigger. &“It didn&’t take long to realize bigger wasn&’t just for Yosselin,&” she writes about the first grader. &“If we surrender to God&’s process, He will take the broken things in our lives and work them out to be bigger. And what He rebuilds will never be broken again.&” Through the experiences of people like Yosselin and Kristan, and the lives of biblical figures such as Nehemiah, who was divinely burdened by the broken walls surrounding Jerusalem, you&’ll discover a God who isn&’t intimidated by any degree of devastation. In fact, He loves to make bigger from what&’s broken. Bigger will open your heart to God&’s brand of boldness and restoration, allowing Him to work bigger in your marriage, your children, your friendships, your church and community, and guiding you to be bigger in your faith, your fight, and your future. He longs to be greater in you and through you. Step into the impossible—and start living bigger with God!

Bill W My First 40 Years: An Autobiography by the Co-founder of AA
by AnonymousTold here for the first time in his own words is the story Bill W.--a man who, for his part in founding Alcoholics Anonymous, would be honored as one of the most important figures of the 20th century."I was born, to be exact, in a hotel then known as Wilson House... I was born, perhaps rightly, in a room just back of the old bar." It was the beginning of a life that would change the lives of millions. Told here for the first time in his own words is the story of the man who would come to be known as Bill W. - a man who, for his part in founding the fellowship of Alcoholics Anonymous, would be celebrated as one of the important figures of the twentieth century."The terrifying darkness had become complete. In agony of spirit, I again thought of the cancer of alcoholism which had now consumed me in mind and spirit, and soon the body." But what of the Great Physician? For a brief moment, I suppose, the last trace of my obstinacy was crushed out as the abyss yawned.I remember saying to myself, "I'll do anything, anything at all. If there be a Great Physician, I'll call on him." Then, with neither faith nor hope I cried out, "If there be a God, let him show himself."
