Religious and Inspirational

Some of the most beautiful and moving things in this world are words. There are authors who have either experienced circumstances that they then relay to us and move us, or who have seen others experience such things.  These types of ebooks can have a tremendously meaningful impact on our lives, so much so that some ebooks in this category can even change the course of our life and those around us.  Imagine getting all of that value for free or for a discount.  That's what eBookHounds brings you.

 

Definition of the "Religious and Inspirational Genre": Ebooks in the Religious and Inspirational genre are meant to capture real stories of people who have seen true, seemingly insurmountable struggle and persevered through that.  The ebooks do not have to be religious to be inspirational, but there oftentimes is included an aspect of spirituality that helped the main character overcome his or her challenge.  And, the challenge is oftentimes tied to change.  When a reader sees that the main character of one of these ebooks can change, or is forced to change due to circumstances, that can spill over into the reader's own life.  

 

Some examples of bestselling ebooks in the Religious and Inspirational Genre are Jack Canfield et al (Chicken Soup for the Soul), Yann Martel (Life of Pi), Paulo Coelho (The Alchemist), and Viktor Frankl (Man's Search for Meaning).

My Season on the Bench: A Faith Empowered Quest to Get Back in the Game

by Lisa H. Nelson


What do you do when the unthinkable happens?
When you’re sent to the bench, your good life is snatched away, and your faith is tested?

On December 5, 2005, Lisa Nelson suffered a devastating traumatic brain injury that forced her, “out of the game” as a busy wife raising two children, working as an educator and high school basketball coach. Over the next several months and years her body and her faith would be tested as she relearned how to live with physical limitations, and how to trust and listen to a God who allowed this to happen.

The questions seemed unanswerable and the therapies and milestones took too long to accomplish. Would she still be the same wife and mother? Would her life ever be as active and fulfilling again? Did He save her for a purpose?

With humor, transparency, and a strong dose of “let’s be real” honesty, Lisa shares how her life-changing event taught her she had a choice to make. She could either be left bedridden and “benched,” or believe in the power of The Coach to help her get past the pity parties and “back in the game.”

This faith-based, inspirational book is perfect for anyone needing encouragement during a difficult season, survivors of traumatic brain injury and/or their caregiver(s), or someone looking for hope when life is hard.

Get My Season on the Bench today!

“Pack your bags and get ready to travel on a journey. Lisa’s journey is full of twists and turns, but rest assured at the end of the road you will have reached a destination worth waiting for.”
-Deborah Malone, award winning author of “Blooming in Broken Places,” and “Bloom Where You Are”

“With a warm, conversational tone, Lisa provides encouragement and hope for anyone who feels they are in a losing season. Her story exudes God’s faithfulness and nearness as we each spend our time on the bench.”
-Liz Petty, author of "Psalm Stories: Discovering God’s Heart Towards You"

In Search of Christian Origins: A Timeline of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

by J. Steven Paul


A fascinating history that reveals Christianity’s roots, its often-unknown and surprising traditions, and its influence on the world today.


There is the accepted, often-repeated version of Christian history—and then there’s the real story. In this gripping volume, author J. Steven Paul uncovers the little-known details of the world’s largest religion.

How did Christianity originate? Who created its earliest writings? Who decided which books would be in the Bible? Where did the ideas of heaven and hell originate, and when did people begin taking the Bible literally? How did Christianity evolve and fracture into the many forms it takes today? From fascinating background on its central tenets to curious details that have been largely swept under the rug, this comprehensive overview traces Christianity from ancient practices through its centuries-long rise in popularity, power, influence, and dominance.

Paul’s detailed account sheds light on doctrine, dogma, and traditions, observing Christianity’s interaction with related faiths, including Judaism, Islam, “heretical” Christian sects, and atheism. Paul outlines how this once-tiny religious cult has shaped centuries of Western civilization and inspired great acts of compassion and kindness. But, in the process, it also viciously attacked its enemies, legitimized the practice of slavery, and collaborated in colonialism and imperialism while shaping the way communities continue to view social and scientific issues.

To understand Christian history is to unearth the roots of our current divisive American culture—and hopefully find the tools to fix it in order to grow into a more cooperative society.

Darkwater: A Pastor's Memoir of Depression and Faith

by Michael Scholtes


There is a voice in Michael's head.

A voice that tells him he is worthless and unlovable. The voice masquerades as his own, wreaking havoc on his friendships and romantic relationships. It keeps him from pursuing his calling—a career as a pastor. It tears his life apart piece by piece, leading him to attempt suicide on more than one occasion. The voice almost defeats him, and yet there is another, more powerful voice—the still, small voice of God always whispering to him, “I love you.”

This is the true story of Michael’s journey from a precocious child in a small town to the spiritual leader of a faith community, and how he slowly and fitfully learns how to listen to the better angels within. Told with brutal honesty and insight into his own mental condition, this is a story of friendship, depression, despair, faith, and a God who refuses to let go.

The Comfort Book

by Matt Haig


An instant 
New York Times Bestseller!

The new uplifting book from Matt Haig, the #1 
New York Times bestselling author of The Midnight Library, for anyone in search of hope, looking for a path to a more meaningful life, or in need of a little encouragement.

Named by 
The Washington Post as one of the best feel-good books of 2021.

“It is a strange paradox, that many of the clearest, most comforting life lessons are learnt while we are at our lowest. But then we never think about food more than when we are hungry and we never think about life rafts more than when we are thrown overboard.”

THE COMFORT BOOK is Haig’s life raft: it’s a collection of notes, lists, and stories written over a span of several years that originally served as gentle reminders to Haig’s future self that things are not always as dark as they may seem. Incorporating a diverse array of sources from across the world, history, science, and his own experiences, Haig offers warmth and reassurance, reminding us to slow down and appreciate the beauty and unpredictability of existence.

Amazing Love: How Everlasting and Unconditional Love Is Possible for Everyone

by Geraldine Jones


Do you doubt whether true, unconditional love exists?

Society tells you to compromise and lower your standards.

But God is greater than the ways of this world, and His love is a powerful thing. Some people try to buy love or earn it, but love cannot be purchased or achieved.

True love is as the Bible says, “For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son” (John 3:16).

Having unconditional love can feel like an impossible thing, but true love is a choice and a gift you give repeatedly.

Author Geraldine Jones and her husband, Edward Jones, were married for nearly four decades before he went to be with Jesus in September 2020. Through their life of ups and downs, God continually showed them the way to love each other with words of affirmation, kindness, and His undying love.

Amazing Love shares their story and Jones hopes that others will begin to believe in true love again—and learn to trust in the One who makes it possible.

Unconditional love cannot be manufactured or created or forced. It comes from deep within, and it comes from Jesus Christ.

Jesus loves us all unconditionally and lived a perfect example of love on earth. God’s love is the only love that will never ever disappoint.

Make Jesus the center of your relationship and Amazing Love will follow.

Your Business Matters to God: Kingdom Principles for Aligning Your Firm with the Great Commission

by T.L. Hart


What If Your Business Isn’t a Distraction From Your “Spiritual” Calling…
But Is Actually Central to God’s Will for Your Life?

Not all ministers stand in pulpits. Some sit in board rooms. Others walk the shop floor.

The Bible says the role of the church is “to equip the saints” for the work of the ministry. That’s because real ministry is what happens seven days a week, as we go about our daily routine in the world beyond the four walls of the church.

Unfortunately, the false divide between the sacred and the secular has left many Christians feeling like second-class citizens of the Kingdom. No more! In Your Business Matters to God, your heart and mind will be stirred by the significance of your calling to the marketplace.

This book is for you if you are:

✓ Planning to start a business

✓ Already building a business

✓ Looking for a strategy to grow to the next level

✓ An entrepreneur or franchise owner


Get ready to catch the vision for a Kingdom-driven business and discover biblical principles to help you increase profits while making a difference, both now and for eternity.

Have you ever wondered if God was willing to bless your business, then use it for His glory and for His kingdom?” If so, you’ve picked up the right book at the right time, written by the right person.

I have known Terry Hart for over two decades now, having first met him on the board of the Amy Foundation, founded and operated by an amazing man, Jim Russell. You’ll be hearing more about Jim as you read Your Business Matters to God. Jim Russell started his business in a humble bedroom at his home and grew it to become a multi-million-dollar enterprise, connected with the Great Commission. Jim was Terry’s mentor.

Terry’s love for God, his family, and other people impressed me from the start. He’s serious about being a follower of Jesus Christ, and about discipling the nations, beginning with those closest to him. You won’t find a purer character than you’ll find in this author. I’ve seen him lay down his life, so to speak, for the sake of others. And that’s the kind of Christian you want to follow and emulate.

Get ready for an adventure into discovering the grandest of all causes, and how you can develop a three-fold system of vision, work, and strategy that will pay high dividends to your company. Get some highlighters and mark up this book every time you read a fresh truth or receive an “Ah-ha” moment as you read. Your vision is about to come alive.

In fact, Terry says, “Everything that exists began with a vision of what could be.” In Your Business Matters to God, you’ll discover the power of vision: seeing things that don’t yet exist in the natural realm (Hebrews 11:1-3). You’ll learn how vision is the first stage to calling those things that be not as though they already are (Romans 4:17). One of the top reasons for business failure is having an unsure or blurred vision. Vision is the “what.” Strategy is the “how.”

Terry encourages you to develop an energizing reason to get up in the morning. He’ll show you how to become a fueler to others.

In all of life, you’ll encounter fuelers and drainers. Terry is a fueler himself. And he’s written this book to fuel you and propel your business to a whole new dimension. Stop differentiating between the secular and the sacred and begin advancing God’s purposes on the Earth NOW in every area of life and work. I’ve read this book, cover-to-cover, and am pleased to give my endorsement to business people, entrepreneurs, and those who can see themselves as high achievers with God’s help. Get ready for blast-off. You are destined for a whole new dimension as you absorb and practice the principles in Your Business Matters to God—Dave Williams, D. Min, D.D.

Inner Strength: Healing the Core Issues That Can Change Your Life

by Brent Saathoff


Discover your Inner Strength and begin living a powerful new life!

Do you have deep-seated issues you can’t seem to overcome no matter how hard you try?

The truth is, we all do.

The good news is that Jesus is with us to help us transform from the inside out.

Our core issues are dysfunctional patterns of feeling and thinking that we rarely question. As they marinate inside of us, they sap our strength and injure our relationships.

Religious practices alone can’t change our core issues. They simply mask toxic emotions and dysfunctional behavioral patterns, never getting to the root causes of our pain. Core issues will continue to get the best of us unless we take them seriously.

In this book, you’ll dive deep and learn:

  • The difference between surface issues and core issues
  • How to access strength you didn’t know you had
  • The different types of core issues and how you can combat them
  • The value of getting honest and leaning into your pain
  • How to overcome a distorted view of God

It’s time to discover your Inner Strength and begin living a powerful new life with God’s help!

PERILOUS TIMES: The Degrading Character of The Last Days

by Andy Ripley


In Second Timothy chapter three, verses one through five, Paul describes the character qualities which will be widely seen in the people of the last days. Although these are not necessarily qualities that are unique to the people of the final generation, as they are common to all generations of fallen human beings, the strong implication is that these evil traits will be dangerously magnified in the final days of history. The men and women of the last days will be more selfish, greedier, more boastful, prouder, more blasphemous, more disobedient, less thankful, more unholy, more unforgiving, more brutal and worse in every conceivable way when compared to previous generations. The complete loss of integrity and good character is what will make the last days so difficult to bear. This book attempts to describe how each of these character traits will impact society and how it is already affecting the world. And how up against the backdrop of this drastic societal decline, we will see the bright and glorious witness of Jesus Christ as it is reflected in the life of His true church.
