What did Jane Austen eat for breakfast? What could make Mark Twain throw his shirts out the window?

The Secret Things of God: Unlocking the Treasures Reserved

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cloud, Henry, PUBLISHER: Howard Books, A positive Christian alternative to the bestselling "The Secret," this book reveals the "secret things of God" -- secrets about God, about happiness, about relationships, and about your purpose. These tested spiritual truths reveal principles that make life work. With millions of copies of "The Secret" in print, countless readers are left wondering how its teachings fi t with the truths found in Scripture. Though many teachings in "The Secret" may have shocked those of the Christian faith, believers have also been reminded of the deep spiritual hunger that exists in all of us -- the desire for a power beyond the human to work change in our individual lives. Even Christians who know and claim biblical truths often don't know how to use them. Author Dr. Henry Cloud shows readers how to unlock the treasure of these truths and ignite their power in their lives. There is, indeed, a powerful attraction at work in the universe, but rather than being between an impersonal universe and our own thoughts, this attraction is between the personal Creator of the universe and the creation he loves.
