One of the earliest sources of humanity's religious impulse was severe weather, which ancient peoples attributed to the wrath of storm gods. Enlightenment thinkers derided such beliefs as superstition and predicted they would pass away as humans became more scientifically and theologically sophisticated. But in America, scientific and theological hubris came face-to-face with the tornado, nature's most violent windstorm. Striking the United States more than any other nation, tornadoes have consistently defied scientists' efforts to unlock their secrets. Meteorologists now acknowledge that even the most powerful computers will likely never be able to predict a tornado's precise path. Similarly, tornadoes have repeatedly brought Americans to the outer limits of theology, drawing them into the vortex of such mysteries as how to reconcile suffering with a loving God and whether there is underlying purpose or randomness in the universe. In this groundbreaking history, Peter Thuesen captures the harrowing drama of tornadoes, as clergy, theologians, meteorologists, and ordinary citizens struggle to make sense of these death-dealing tempests. He argues that, in the tornado, Americans experience something that is at once culturally peculiar (the indigenous storm of the national imagination) and religiously primal (the sense of awe before an unpredictable and mysterious power). He also shows that, in an era of climate change, the weather raises the issue of society's complicity in natural disasters. In the whirlwind, Americans confront the question of their own destiny-how much is self-determined and how much is beyond human understanding or control.

When a powerful EF-4 tornado with winds in excess of 200 miles per hour slammed the Union University campus on February 5, 2008, destroying eighteen dormitory buildings and causing $40 million in damage, the immediate assumption was that dozens if not hundreds of lives would have been lost. Miraculously, nobody died, and the next morning major media outlets flocked to Jackson, Tennessee, where Union students and faculty credited God for their survival and got to share their faith with millions worldwide. God in the Whirlwind recounts the entire experience through twenty eye-of-the-storm accounts from those who saw the walls and ceilings crashing down upon them and felt their ears pop as the pressure dropped, from anxious parents who waited for their child's call, and from Union leaders who marvel at the university's unbroken spirit in the face of such devastation. This inspiring book also includes eighty photographs that visualize God's mighty hand upon nature and his gentle hand of grace.

On April 27, 2011 sixty two tornadoes touched down in Alabama claiming two hundred and fifty three innocent lives. One of those tornadoes, an EF5 that tracked across Northern Alabama and into Tennessee, killed seventy people over a 132 mile path. Jennifer Pitts Adair, alone in her Capshaw home, huddled under blankets and pillows in her master bathroom closet as the massive tornado ripped her home apart around her. When it finally ended nothing remained except for the foundation Jennifer lay on and a pile of rubble surrounding her. For the next year she documented her familys journey. Through her personal journal Jennifer invites us into the life of one survivor during the first year of recovery.

This 365-day devotional can bring out the messes. Some touch on issues not brought up in churches. The significant part about this book is we can start anytime! Day one to 365! I prayed and wrote to get to the deepest parts of us. We realize we are a mess, then surrender it. We allow His Spirit to release the bondages. We become less of a mess. Whose mess are you? Remember, we can choose to be God’s messes. In His hands, struggles turn into something amazing! I pray this devotional will be a great tool for all of us as we draw closer to the Lord we love.

The first I would say original poems were namely time, work, the universe, laughter, the mountains, joy, wisdom, the stars, children, Christmas, Impossible, the ocean and love (the short version). These were like the inspiration to keep writing and not just give up. Many times I glanced at the paper bag they were in. I would take them out, show my family and then put them back. After praying for Gods help. I had a great flow of thoughts, rhyming words or ideas that sometimes were as simple as the title or based on an event reflected from a personal experience of what I had heard or felt that day.

The Healing Season by Shannyn Caldwell 11 YEARS OF DEVASTATION...THEN, A 40 DAY CHALLENGE TO HEAL Tornadoes...they can blow into our lives through divorce, sudden illness and loss. For Shannyn, the tornado was a literal one, that struck on April 9, 1999, killing bother her parents, Lee and Jacque Cook. For years, she lived broken, empty and worst of all, hopeless. And then...The Healing Season. More importantly, the Healer. "The Healing Season is a story of Christ's intentional love breaking through into the life of one hurting woman. It epitomizes the reality of what can happen when a person looks beyond their personal hurt into the eyes of a loving Father. On every page Shannyn Caldwell opens the secret places of her life, drawing you into the deeper truth that God's love for her is available to each of us. This is a great read for anyone who desires more from life than just getting by or getting through, and is searching for the true source of healing." - Dr. Randy Carlson New York Times Best Selling Author, President of Family Life Communications and Host of Intentional Living You will discover what it looks like to: Walk by faith and not by sight.
