This book is very much about The Gospel of Thomas - that much-too-little-understood "alternative" gospel which the early Christian church condemned and banished into virtual obscurity for nearly 2000 years. But mostly, the book is about Jesus. Thomas's gospel acts as our guide as we go through the book delving into what the author feels Jesus is trying to convey to us. So much of that is about Awareness - Consciousness - of God's Kingdom as ever-presence NOW, the author contends. Above all, this book is about precisely that which the author wished to convey in the book's title: Jesus As I Have Come To Know And To Deeply Love Him. The author has come to know a very approachable and human Jesus, as well as a courageous spiritual and social rebel who faced-up to both Rome's Empire and the Jewish aristocracy without blinking. The universal love of Jesus was increasingly experienced by the author as the book progressed, deepening the author's own love for Jesus.

God has dreams—just for you Becoming Myself is a hope-filled book for anyone who wonders if her life will ever change—if she will ever change.In Stasi Eldredge’s most intimate book yet, she shares her own struggles with self-worth, weight, and her past as she shows readers how God is faithfully unveiling who we truly are. Stasi urges you to lay down your past thoughts about yourself and receive God’s incredible dreams for you instead. We cannot heal ourselves. We cannot become ourselves by ourselves. But we are not by ourselves. The King of love wants to help us become. God desires to restore us—the real us. As he heals our inner life, he calls us to rise to the occasion of our lives. The most important journey any woman can take is the journey into becoming her true self through the love of God. It's a beautiful paradox. The more of God’s you become, the more yourself you become—the “self” he had in mind when he thought of you before the creation of the world. Discover your truest self—the woman God created you to be—in Becoming Myself.

Mothers and daughters have a very close and special relationship. Every little girl's dream is to be like their mother, and so it is with the main character of this book. Her mother teaches her many things about life. She instructs her on how to love, give and care for others. This book came to me while I was writing another book for women and the issues that they face in life. I had been researching the Bible and praying for some time about that project when God stopped me and gave me the title to this book (Mama, I want to Be Like You). I felt impressed that I would dedicate this book to someone special. At that moment I was driving my car so I pulled off of the road and wrote this entire children's book exactly as I was inspired. Later that day, my daughter informed me that she was expecting a baby and I immediately understood what God had shown me. This book would be dedicated to my grandchild as well as my mother, who died when I was young. Mama, I want to Be Like You honors my mother and also celebrates my first grandson Asher. It is a legacy that I can leave for him and hopefully bless other as well.
