Carole Haenni - Anna Woman Of Miracles (2002) - Used -

Anna, Woman of Miracles is the story of Saint Anne, the mother of Mary and the grandmother of Jesus. Though hundreds of thousands of worshippers celebrate her feast day, most know nothing of her remarkable life story, a story that includes her affiliation with the Essenes, the ancient Jewish sect that produced the Dead Sea Scrolls; her reputation as a healer; her three husbands; her lifelong and controversial interaction with a Roman legate; her role in preparing Mary to be the mother of the Messiah; and her influence on the life of her grandson.

"The Miracle of the Wine is a volume of my spiritual poetry between Passion Week 2002 to Christmas 2005. The title commemorates the first miracle of Jesus where he turned water to wine in a wedding reception. So, he turned something that's common, ubiquitous, and transparent to something that's extraordinary, colorful and wanted. I think that I'm in the same process." Sincerely, James James Shin, who has cerebral palsy, grew up in Ohio. He received his BS in Business at Long Beach State seven years after he graduated from high school. While he was pursuing his MBA at CSULB, Lord Jesus spoke to him through his mother to go to church or to be in a church-like group. So he began the search. The search ended when Rev. James Kang came into the dorms. He said that Jesus was the way, and that Rev. Kang was in a part of the para-church group called Navigators. He told James that Billy Graham started this group. After a month, he gave his heart to Jesus. After he graduated with MBA three years later, James pursued a job through the Department of Rehabilitation. It took him eight years and another four years of ordeal to have 'a job'. While these processes were going on, James wrote the poetry of the book. James wrote the book of poetry to model after Psalms. He is working as an assistant to the accounting department for the Disneyland Resort which" he calls the Happiest Place on Earth."

This is the incredible autobiography . . . . . . of a young woman who pursued fame and fortune with passionate intensity. The victim of childhood sexual abuse, she decided that no God would allow a little girl to suffer as she had, and so she embraced atheism. She submerged herself in a world of power and politics, drugs, the occult, broken relationships, pain, and emptiness until there was nothing about her to suggest a divine destiny. Only God knew what was in the heart of this cigar-smoking, hard-drinking, profane woman-because He had put it there. With divine urgency the Father sought His lost child, fanning the spark of unconditional love that would not let her go. "So what have I learned through all this?" Pastor Williams asks. "That no matter how dark or how brilliant our past, no matter how great or how humble our present, we have this hope: to be eternally united in Christ in heavenly places, if only we trust and obey!"

An exciting story of a woman who at the age of 16, devoted her life and musical talents to Christian ministries and orphan children. Who by every reasonable account should have been derailed and cursed her God when she was attacked by drug lords which left her body borken; her home burned to the ground and 2 of her 10 adopted children murdered. She was then sentenced to 17 years to life in prison for second degree murder. She was ostracized by church and family when she acknowledged her true sexual orientation. How she held on to her faith and God's love is part of the miracle you will find in these pages. Learn what has kept her faith alive and is the driving force today as she travels across country with her partner, ministering to the whole person and "Sharing Father's Heart."
