Free Stuff Fridays (Baker Books)

This week’s Free Stuff Friday is sponsored by Baker Books . They are giving away three sets of Jamie Rasmussen’s books How Joyful People Think and When God Feels Far Away.

How Joyful People Think by Jamie Rasmussen (book cover is attached and can be linked here: How Joyful People Think – Baker Book House)

In this insightful unpacking of Philippians 4:8, pastor Jamie Rasmussen shows readers how to focus their thoughts and attention on the things in life that God has declared will make a meaningful impact on both a person’s outlook and experience. It’s the kind of thinking that has the power to change us, pointing us away from self-pity, anger, and resentment and toward contentment and personal peace, which helps us get the most out of life.

When God Feels Far Away by Jamie Rasmussen (the book cover is attached and can be linked here: When God Feels Far Away – Baker Book House)

With transparency and a pastoral heart, Jamie Rasmussen reveals eight ways to navigate divine distance and experience the nearness of God again. After unpacking why God sometimes feels so far away, he mines the riches of the book of Esther for principles that are available to us today. The result is an intimate and practical guide to navigating seasons of divine distance so we can once again feel closer to God.

    Trimmed and Set on Fire

    Sometimes humor accomplishes what soberness cannot, as an old quote from D.L. Moody illustrates. “Some people’s prayers need to be cut off at both ends and set on fire in the middle.” After all, we have all had to endure prayers that were a little too long (or perhaps a lot too long) or that…

    How To Tell the Truth

I sometimes marvel at how adeptly they are able to steer conversations to topics that matter and how easily they can get to Jesus…
