Inspiring Tales Of Those Who Changed The World

Eternity Through The Rearview Mirror by Annette Hubbell is an inspiring book of seventeen tales of ordinary men and women who lived extraordinary lives for Jesus and changed their worlds. “Have a vision, change the world” said Corrie ten Boom. Where we see injustices we need to stand up and declare that it is wrong.

The book is full of names that I have heard of. Why? Because they fought with faith to right the wrongs. There are many who stood against slavery including Abraham Lincoln. Sojourner Truth felt invisible until her Mama told her “There is a God who hears and sees you.” God sees and hears all and He sees you.

I think one of the saddest quotes was “Don’t you know that reading is for white folks?” by Mary McLeod Bethune. She received no schooling until ages eleven but went on to educate other poor folks.

Trust And Obey

I Am Not A Victim by Adah Dobele – wow this is a powerful book to help us to live the life God wants us to live.

We need to know God and be fully committed to him. “We cannot have one foot in the world and another in Christ.” We need to draw close to God and become intimately acquainted with Him so that we recognise His voice and can ‘hear’ His quietest whisper. We need to live in faith and not fear. I am who God says I am. I am not what the world calls me. I need to live with my focus on God.

Random God Sightings by Kelly Hanes

Glimpsing Him

Random God Sightings by Kelly Hanes is a powerful book of twenty six stories of seeing God in the everyday. Often in our striving to see God, we miss the fact that He is walking right beside us. We will ‘see’ Him when we least expect to. God may be at the Christian conference but He is also at the convenience store.

These tales are designed to help us look for God in the everyday. When we seek Him, we will find Him. “It was God’s face, revealed to me in the face of The Teacher.” We may only glimpse God for a second but it is that second that will lift our spirits.

There are lessons to be learnt within the tales as the reader sees that children are remarkably perceptive and that strangers are kind. “People like that could change the world.” May we be people who see and who having seen, change the world.
