For decades, the most popular column in Guideposts magazine has been "Mysterious Ways," a feature filled with true stories of extraordinary moments and everyday miracles that reveal a spiritual force at work in our lives. Mysterious Ways collects more than 100 of these remarkable true stories in one inspirational volume. These stories reassure us that despite our volatile times, God is intimately involved in our everyday lives and cares deeply about what happens to us. Readers will marvel at stories of miraculous healings unexplained by modern medicine, stories of strange and startling circumstances that led to love, and signs that God reaches out to us in unexpected ways.

The realities of pain and suffering can easily push you to the point of questioning whether or not God truly cares. Even though He promised to work all things together for good, sometimes it can seem as if that’s never going to happen. In God’s Mysterious Ways, Gary Inrig examines the Old Testament story of Joseph, one of the most insightful examples of divine care. Seeing the twists and turns of Joseph’s life intertwined with the sovereignty of God, you’ll understand how God worked not only through the faithfulness of Joseph, but also through the sinfulness of Joseph’s brothers. Speaking to those who see or experience suffering, this book offers a message of grace. It’s a gentle reminder that, no matter what your circumstances seem to tell you, God’s will prevails—His purposes can be trusted and His promises never fail.

A fast-paced story that is fun to read and sure to entertain! "Mysterious Ways" has an overarching theme that no matter how big a mess we make of our lives, God can use it for good and turn us around.

A unique look at Christian biblical interpretation and theology from the perspective of Native American tradition. This book focuses on four specific experiences of Jesus as portrayed in the synoptic gospels. It examines each story as a “vision quest,” a universal spiritual phenomenon, but one of particular importance within North American indigenous communities. Jesus’ experience in the wilderness is the first quest. It speaks to a foundational Native American value: the need to enter into the “we” rather than the “I.” The Transfiguration is the second quest, describing the Native theology of transcendent spirituality that impacts reality and shapes mission. Gethsemane is the third quest. It embodies the Native tradition of the holy men or women, who find their freedom through discipline and concerns for justice, compassion, and human dignity. Golgotha is the final quest. It represents the Native sacrament of sacrifice (e.g., the Sun Dance). The chapter on Golgotha is a discussion of kinship, balance, and harmony: all primary to Native tradition and integral to Christian thought.

New York Times bestselling author David Levithan takes young readers on twisting journey through truth, reality, and fantasy and belief. Aidan disappeared for six days. Six agonizing days of searches and police and questions and constant vigils. Then, just as suddenly as he vanished, Aidan reappears. Where has he been? The story he tells is simply. . . impossible. But it's the story Aidan is sticking to. His brother, Lucas, wants to believe him. But Lucas is aware of what other people, including their parents, are saying: that Aidan is making it all up to disguise the fact that he ran away. When the kids in school hear Aidan's story, they taunt him. But still Aidan clings to his story. And as he becomes more of an outcast, Lucas becomes more and more concerned. Being on Aidan's side would mean believing in the impossible. But how can you believe in the impossible when everything and everybody is telling you not to?
