What do you do when what you see does not look anything like what God said? You might be tempted to give up. Life seldom goes the way that we have planned. Often God gives us a picture or snapshot of what he desires to do with our lives, yet the road to destiny is paved with detours. Living on the Edge takes a look at the life of Joseph and highlights principles and lessons that we can learn on the road to fulfilling God’s unique purpose for our lives. As you look at Joseph’s journey, you will be encouraged to stay the course, fulfill your purpose, and finish strong.

Is it possible to go from psychic to prophet? My journey answered that question by highlighting my transformative process into my intended destiny. This process was long and arduous, however; the common thread we can walk away with, is learning to trust the process and more importantly, learning to trust the One orchestrating the process. It's all about Jesus. When it's all said and done, the ancient words penned by Luke in Acts 17 rings true—in him, we move, live and have our being.

Grace Santangelo was innocent, reserved, and obedient. At 15, she dutifully assisted in the day-to-day operation of her parents' boardinghouse in Illinois. Never in her wildest dreams did Grace imagine meeting and falling in love with boarder number three, Gio Rivia, a handsome Italian immigrant who was eight years her senior.

This dissertation is an effort to think through the complexities of how African American literature interacts with what I am terming the notion of uncalling made visible by the heterodox Christianities that fall out of the scope of the Black. In other words, I analyze Black religiosity as an enactment of radical Black collectivity in counterdistinction to a politics of recognition. I argue it is this figure of the uncalled, operating out of heterodox Black religiosities, that can offer an alternative model for liberation and healing that is not bound up in outward cries for recognition.

Ken raised his three sons in a squeaky-clean suburb of Los Angeles. He envisioned fatherhood as coaching their sports teams, taking them to church (where he was the pastor), and visiting colleges one day. Instead, he got an education on the street names of opioids, fluency in rehab vernacular, and an insider’s view of the California prison system, when his middle son, Lucas, accidentally killed a man with his car while high on heroin.

It wasn't until I had enough of the life I was living and wanted to take my own life that I cried out to God. The Lord reached out his hand in the pit of my despair and lifted me up. I have been walking with him since that day. I fell in love with Jesus because he loved me first, He says we were worth dying for. He did not allow the devil to take me out before I knew what true love is. I went from hopeless to putting my hope in Jesus. Who am I now? I am loved. I am chosen. I am redeemed. I am free!

I remembered the first time I stepped into a church—it was and seemed to foreign to me. I never experienced god before. I was lost—out in the open. My mother never taught us anything about the lord or Christ. I always felt I had an unknowing relationship with him. It was always there or he was always there to protect me and guide me. I always felt a presence;the lords presence. He brought me a mighty long way.

Kaum einer kannte den deutschen Papst so gut und keiner war in den letzten Jahren so nahe an seiner Seite: Georg Gänswein begleitete Benedikt XVI. nahezu drei Jahrzehnte bis zu dessen Tod. Gänswein kennt Joseph Ratzinger als Glaubenspräfekten in Rom, er war einer der wichtigsten Vertrauten in seiner Zeit als Papst und er weiß, was wirklich hinter dem spektakulären Amtsverzicht steckte. Darüber spricht Gänswein in diesem Buch offen und ehrlich. Genauso schreibt er über die Jahre nach dem Rücktritt und das Leben mit »zwei« Päpsten im Vatikan.
