Produktbeschreibung

In Every Blessing Is Yours, Judy Nichols offers helpful insights and interesting personal stories while comparing the New Testament Beatitudes with the Old Testament wisdom of Isaiah. Highly recommended. Bill Deckard Senior Editor Crossway One of my weekly joys is reading Judy Nichols devotions. This collection is long overdue. Kevin Springer, Camarillo, CA Author of the highly acclaimed Power Evangelism and Power Healing (Harper Collins) As I read Every Blessing Is Yours, there was a sense of freshness brought to the study as Judy intertwined the Matthew and Luke passages with Isaiah 61. Richard L Widener Missions Director, Alliance for Renewal Churches Ms. Nichols draws from both her experience and her knowledge of the Scriptures, and the result is wonderfully enriching. Jay Shifley, M.Ed. Director of Business as Mission, Frontiers This is a book I want my family and friends to read. Judy Nichols mines the early teachings of Jesus in the Beatitudes in parallel with Isaiah 61 in ways that nourish and instruct the soul of the Christian. This gem promises riches to the reader. Ray Nethery Former Director of Asian Affairs, Campus Crusade for Christ Co-Founder and -Director of Grace Haven Ministry Center President Emeritus, Alliance for Renewal Churches There is no greater need today than for Christians to grow in Christ, to become true disciples and not mere followers. In Every Blessing Is Yours, I attempt to bring clarity by looking at the word pictures from Isaiah 61 and revealing how the Beatitudes teach us how to grow in Christ and to become mature, well-formed children of God. Every Blessing Is Yours is based on the premise that it is possible not only to live a blessed life but also to increase in that blessedness throughout life. The Beatitudes tell us what the blessed life looks like; Isaiah 61 elaborates and tells us how to make them functional. Looking at each Beatitude in turn, along with its parallels in Isaiah 61, gives us a sense of what spiritual growth looks like and how to achieve it. My hope is that readers will come away with not only knowledge and insight but also real spiritual growth and emotional health.

Autorenporträt

Judy Nichols grew up in a Batavia, Ohio, a small town twenty miles east of Cincinnati. She holds a bachelor's degree in journalism from Kent State University and even managed to find a paying job as a journalist but didn't have the stomach for asking the hard-hitting questions. After a long stint of temporary office work in Cincinnati, she decided to go into elementary education and spent three wretched years as a substitute teacher in the Columbus, Ohio, public schools.Eventually, she moved back to Cincinnati and found work as a customer service representative, which was far less stressful than teaching and paid the bills. And she didn't have to deal with all those surly fourth graders just itching for a fight.At this time, Ms. Nichols met Nigel, a British national who lived in an old farmhouse outside of Aurora, Indiana, a small town 20 miles west of Cincinnati. It was in that farmhouse, one day in 1996 while her baby daughter Alysoun slept, she decided it was time to get started on the book she'd always intended to write. She fired up the word processor, and five years later, her first book Caviar Dreams was finished. In August of 2003, it was published by Zumaya Publications.She would still be living in Aurora if GE Aircraft hadn't made Nigel an offer he couldn't refuse-a chance to live near the ocean with GE footing the bill for moving expenses. So, now, the family lives in Wilmington, North Carolina.
