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).
The first thing I decided to abide by, even before starting to write a book, was to keep it short. This quick read book connects age old simple tales and modern Self Help lessons. The stories selected in this book are age old stories which I had heard during my childhood and this small book delves into such small simple stories and dig out valuable lessons.
This book doesn’t follow any sequence. You can start anywhere. The tips on time management, leadership, and happiness that I have derived from these stories will help you to rethink about your life path. Issues faced by a common man like - how to bring up children?, how to keep relationship working, how to manage tough boss? how to be happy? How to conduct meetings ? How to think clearly? What is the purpose of life? and lot more. are addressed in this book in simple condensed form. I am sure , this book encourages every reader to find something to ponder and rejig their life priorities.
After following Him in His presence, how will he follow him in His absence?
In the eagerly awaited second installment of the A Journey of Hope Series, we rejoin Azan as he grapples with profound questions of faith and purpose in the aftermath of life-altering events. Azan, who had spent three years alienated from his family with his uncle Ephraim in Capernaum for his unwavering belief in Jesus, is now reunited with them after a miraculous change of heart in his father.
Though the joy of their reunion is bittersweet, for Azan is still haunted by the crucifixion of Jesus, the Messiah. He wrestles with unrelenting questions: Why did Jesus allow Himself to be crucified? He saved others, so why not Himself? What divine purpose could be concealed within this tragedy?
As Azan navigates this emotional turmoil, he embarks on a quest to discover his new purpose in a world without Jesus physically present. His heart's desire is to follow in the footsteps of the disciples and establish a church, but doubts about his readiness weigh heavily on his young shoulders.
Facing opposition from religious leaders determined to halt the church's growth and persecution from those who resist Jesus' teachings in Israel, Azan must summon unwavering faith and courage. Will he have what it takes to spread the good news and stand up for his beliefs, even if it means risking everything?
Join Azan in this enthralling sequel as he continues to grow in faith, forging ahead in his mission to stand for Jesus against all odds. His journey will inspire you to find your own purpose, confront doubt, and stand resolute in your faith, no matter the challenges that lie ahead.
Encounter Jesus through the eyes of a first century twelve-year-old Jewish boy.
Consider what your response would have been if you had lived in the days of Jesus’ ministry on earth. Imagine witnessing Him performing His miracles. How would you have reacted? In listening to Him teach, would you have believed Him? Would you have believed He could be the Messiah? Or would you have rejected Him?
Immerse yourself in the culture, customs, and traditions of the ancient Jewish people and imagine what it might have been like to encounter Jesus.
In a predictable Jewish life, something un-predictable happens to twelve-year-old Azan. See how the events in his life change him forever. Experience Jesus through the eyes of this impressionable young boy.
What will you do with Jesus? Will you seek after Jesus? Or will you deny Him? He will not force Himself on you. It’s completely your choice. Choose wisely.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Pierce Brown’s relentlessly entertaining debut channels the excitement of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card.
“Ender, Katniss, and now Darrow.”—Scott Sigler
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, BUZZFEED, AND SHELF AWARENESS
“I live for the dream that my children will be born free,” she says. “That they will be what they like. That they will own the land their father gave them.”
“I live for you,” I say sadly.
Eo kisses my cheek. “Then you must live for more.”
Darrow is a Red, a member of the lowest caste in the color-coded society of the future. Like his fellow Reds, he works all day, believing that he and his people are making the surface of Mars livable for future generations. Yet he spends his life willingly, knowing that his blood and sweat will one day result in a better world for his children.
But Darrow and his kind have been betrayed. Soon he discovers that humanity reached the surface generations ago. Vast cities and lush wilds spread across the planet. Darrow—and Reds like him—are nothing more than slaves to a decadent ruling class.
Inspired by a longing for justice, and driven by the memory of lost love, Darrow sacrifices everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, a proving ground for the dominant Gold caste, where the next generation of humanity’s overlords struggle for power. He will be forced to compete for his life and the very future of civilization against the best and most brutal of Society’s ruling class. There, he will stop at nothing to bring down his enemies . . . even if it means he has to become one of them to do so.
BONUS: This edition includes an excerpt from Pierce Brown's Golden Son.
“[A] spectacular adventure . . . one heart-pounding ride . . . Pierce Brown’s dizzyingly good debut novel evokes The Hunger Games, Lord of the Flies, and Ender’s Game. . . . [Red Rising] has everything it needs to become meteoric.”—Entertainment Weekly
“[A] top-notch debut novel . . . Red Rising ascends above a crowded dystopian field.”—USA Today
“Red Rising is a sophisticated vision. . . . Brown will find a devoted audience.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch
“A story of vengeance, warfare and the quest for power . . . reminiscent of The Hunger Games and Game of Thrones.”—Kirkus Reviews
Your Christian teen has it rough.
From the battleground of school to the shock of puberty, your teen girl never gets a moment’s rest.
Author and mom Elizabeth Copeland has girls of her own. They struggled with self-doubt, comparison, and many other adolescent issues.
They were deep in angst. She alone could not help them. They needed to connect with God.
Thus…
The Prayer Journal for Teen Girls was born.
Between the pages of this book, you will discover…
Watch Him guide her as she reflects on problems that seem unsolvable. Doors will open, and her doubts will give way to the glorious light of faith. Be amazed as she connects with heaven; toxic thoughts will dissipate, comparison will flee, and insecurities will vanish.
She is dearly loved and has infinite worth.
Don’t you agree?
Prayer is a conversation, not a shopping list. Your Heavenly Father wants to communicate with her. And He will.
As she delves through this journal, watch her “shopping list” prayers transform into meaningful dialogue with the Creator of heaven and earth. The guided prayers prompt her to ask deep and personal questions, talk, and then listen. As she takes time to be still, answers will come and peace will wash over her.
Some girls, though, think they don’t have time. Believe me, I know daily spiritual habits might feel like a chore for her.
But they don't have to be! Not with this Prayer Journal.
With a commitment of 5–10 minutes a week, she will feast from a bounteous outpouring from heaven. "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you." It only takes that kind of effort to tune in to His heartwarming voice—a voice that will lift her above the pull of this fallen world, give answers to her prayers, and provide solutions to every problem.
I know you’re ready for your teen to conquer her challenges and tune into the sweet whisperings of the Spirit.

The Perfect Combination: Thoughtful Bible Study, Inspiring Devotional & Beautiful Prayer Journal
A message from the author: I wrote the book divided into 10 sections. On day one of each section, you will dive into the Word of God and read the story of a Bible hero. On day two of each section, I will share a personal testimony inspired by the previous day’s Bible hero. And on day three of each section, you will be challenged to get a new perspective on what you’re going through as you consider that Bible hero. You will then be encouraged to write your own story.
Each section features one of my alcohol ink flower paintings. I created these fluid, colorful paintings as I was inspired by the beauty of God’s creation.
These are the four things you will have to consider each day:
Each day will have thought-provoking questions and plenty of space to write about what God is speaking to you. My hope and prayer is that you trust God as you face life’s challenges. I hope and pray that God gives you a new perspective as you consider the Word, His worth, His ways and His work in your life.

Kathleen knew from an early age that she was here for a purpose. But what was that purpose?
After suffering a personal tragedy, Kathleen was thrust into a new career in massage therapy. As she developed her skills, synchronistic events began happening. At first, she shrugged them off. But as she learned the healing therapies of Reiki, integrated energy therapy (IET®), crystals, and more, she found she was able to provide emotional and spiritual healing to her clients, along with physical healing.
In this personal and moving account, Kathleen shares her journey from initial skepticism to the dawning awareness of the spiritual energy all around her—and finally to the realization that her life’s mission is to channel that energy into helping others. She describes experiences throughout her career in massage therapy that led her to discovering her purpose in life.
In Hugged by an Angel, Kathleen recounts her first-hand encounters with energy, healing, and angels, with a sense of joy and awe. Journey along as she experiences unexplainable events and learns to open her mind to spirituality and life. The universe was trying to tell her something—and she finally learned how to listen. The result was an incredible awakening that changed her life.
The One Change That Can Change Everything in Your Life!
What if you could change your life…just by changing who you spend time with? That’s the premise and the promise of this powerful book. You’ve probably heard the famous truism that “You are the average of the five people you spend time with.”
But has anyone ever provided you with a clear and practical plan to proactively choose and pursue those five key relationships? Or a strategy to gracefully remove negative influences from your inner circle? Almost certainly not.
Until now! In The Law of Association, John & Judy O’Leary reveal:
Written in the O’Leary’s signature can’t-put-it-down style, this book has the power to put your life on a whole new trajectory of impact and influence for the Kingdom of God.

Since time immemorial, herbs have existed within the fabric of reality, and we can’t begin to comprehend how much wisdom and energy they have absorbed from the universe.
Alternative medicinal systems have been around for much longer than modern pharmaceutical medicine, but they are no longer the main form of healing.
Have you been suffering from ailments that you just can’t seem to get to the bottom of?
As a society, we now rely on doctors and pharmacists to prescribe treatments for a plethora of symptoms diagnosed in isolation. This is in direct contrast to traditional practices, such as Ayurveda, homeopathy, and Reiki, which seek to understand the true causes behind our symptoms.
These causes often have their roots in energetic or metaphysical origins.
Spirituality has been a part of healing medicine for thousands of years. Mother Nature’s spirit weaved her magic through plants, giving us access to thousands of healing and revitalizing herbs. A harmonious relationship between people and Mother Nature was vital for creating a happy and healthy balance.
Today, this balance has been lost to so many of us. But reconnecting with this powerful natural force doesn’t have to be difficult.
In fact, it’s easier than you can imagine.
You will discover:
Applying a spiritual approach to herbalism is about more than just what herbs can do for your body. The plant spirits and energy from Mother Nature herself will also act as tonics for your own spirit. Our plant allies want to help and heal you, no matter your background, history, or lifestyle.
So if you want to bring joy, positivity, and a renewed connection with the greater universal intelligence into your life, turn the first page.
What do you do when you feel like the ground you are standing on is crumbling?

We all know the story of creation in the Bible. In the beginning, God created. But what if creation isn’t where things started? Not in the Bible anyway. What if the first book of the Bible wasn’t about creation…it was about pain.
Scholars have debated for years about what the first book of the Bible really is. Most have concluded that the Book of Job was probably the first book written.
Think about that: what if the message God wanted us to receive wasn’t about how we were created, but what to do when life gets bad.
Being a Christian means happiest. Joy. It means you get that white picket fence and have friends that bring you companionship. Hardship and spiritual warfare may be words that Christians know, but it’s not exactly something we talk about.
Job is a complicated and messy story because it address the elephant in the giant room that is Christianity: that believing in God doesn’t mean happiness. Or wealth. Or even goodness.
Job is a story that teaches us an ugly truth about what we believe: that things aren’t always better on the other side of the mountain—that good things don’t always happen to good people—and that sometimes life is just messed up.
Most people know the story of Job. He’s the guy who had bad things happen to him. But we often look to the story as more a Sunday school fairytale. Sure, it’s believable. But we often look at it as a moral tale about a guy who had it all taken away.
There’s more to it than that. Rarely do we study it to find out what God is trying to teach us.
The lesson here is deep, and one every believe should hear.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The definitive cookbook on French cuisine for American readers: "What a cookbook should be: packed with sumptuous recipes, detailed instructions, and precise line drawings. Some of the instructions look daunting, but as Child herself says in the introduction, 'If you can read, you can cook.'" —Entertainment Weekly
“I only wish that I had written it myself.” —James Beard
Featuring 524 delicious recipes and over 100 instructive illustrations to guide readers every step of the way, Mastering the Art of French Cooking offers something for everyone, from seasoned experts to beginners who love good food and long to reproduce the savory delights of French cuisine.
Julia Child, Simone Beck, and Louisette Bertholle break down the classic foods of France into a logical sequence of themes and variations rather than presenting an endless and diffuse catalogue of dishes—from historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. Throughout, the focus is on key recipes that form the backbone of French cookery and lend themselves to an infinite number of elaborations—bound to increase anyone’s culinary repertoire.
“Julia has slowly but surely altered our way of thinking about food. She has taken the fear out of the term ‘haute cuisine.’ She has increased gastronomic awareness a thousandfold by stressing the importance of good foundation and technique, and she has elevated our consciousness to the refined pleasures of dining." —Thomas Keller, The French Laundry
