Download or read book The Cross and the Lynching Tree written by James H. Cone and published by Orbis Books. This book was released on 2011 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A landmark in the conversation about race and religion in America. "They put him to death by hanging him on a tree." Acts 10:39 The cross and the lynching tree are the two most emotionally charged symbols in the history of the African American community. In this powerful new work, theologian James H. Cone explores these symbols and their interconnection in the history and souls of black folk. Both the cross and the lynching tree represent the worst in human beings and at the same time a thirst for life that refuses to let the worst determine our final meaning. While the lynching tree symbolized white power and "black death," the cross symbolizes divine power and "black life" God overcoming the power of sin and death. For African Americans, the image of Jesus, hung on a tree to die, powerfully grounded their faith that God was with them, even in the suffering of the lynching era. In a work that spans social history, theology, and cultural studies, Cone explores the message of the spirituals and the power of the blues; the passion and of Emmet Till and the engaged vision of Martin Luther King, Jr.; he invokes the spirits of Billie Holliday and Langston Hughes, Fannie Lou Hamer and Ida B. Well, and the witness of black artists, writers, preachers, and fighters for justice. And he remembers the victims, especially the 5,000 who perished during the lynching period. Through their witness he contemplates the greatest challenge of any Christian theology to explain how life can be made meaningful in the face of death and injustice.

Download or read book Forgiveness written by Iyanla Vanzant and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too many of us feel trapped in stagnant romantic, family, or workplace relationships. Weighed down by toxic thoughts and emotions, we might be quick to judge and slow to pardon, and self-righteous about our feelings as we dwell on memories of what we or others did (or failed to do). In this tradepaper edition, Iyanla Vanzant challenges us to liberate ourselves from the wounds of the past and to embrace the new power of forgiveness. With Iyanla’s 21-Day Forgiveness Plan, you’ll explore relationship dynamics with your parents, children, friends, partners, co-workers, bosses, yourself, and even God. With journaling work and Emotional Freedom Techniques (also known as "tapping"), you’ll learn to live with more love; gain new clarity on your life, lessons, and blessings; and discover a new level of personal freedom, peace, and well-being. Forgiveness doesn’t mean agreeing with, condoning, or even liking what has happened. Forgiveness means letting go and knowing that—regardless of how challenging, frightening, or difficult an experience may seem—everything is just as it needs to be in order for you to grow and learn. When you focus on how things "should" be, you deny the presence and power of love. Accept the events of the past, while being willing to change your perspective on them. As Iyanla says, "Only forgiveness can liberate minds and hearts once held captive by anger, bitterness, resentment, and fear. Forgiveness is a true path to freedom that can renew faith, build trust, and nourish the soul."

Download or read book Prayer Pals 21 Day Challenge written by Kristin Overstreet and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-12-07 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prayer Pals 21 Day Challenge brings women of faith together with the purpose of praying for one another’s needs three times a day for twenty-one days. As women unite in one mind and accord and begin to persistently pray for one another’s needs, something powerful happens! It is no longer a “you prayer” but an “us prayer.” Prayer Pals 21 Day Challenge invites women to experience the closeness of sisterly love as they listen, encourage, and pray for one another’s needs all while drawing closer to God. Using the Prayer Pals 21 Day Challenge book, prayer pals will be engaged daily in scripture reading, reflection, and journaling, learning from one of the greatest prayer warriors in the bible—Daniel! Prayer Pals 21 Day Challenge uses the following acrostic to describe the four essential principles of praying with a pal: P represents persistence. Think about it like this. As you and your prayer come together to pray, your prayer needs are brought before God three times a day for twenty-one days! R represents routine (forming a relationship with God as you pray each day three times a day). Getting into a habit of praying even when you are tired, hopeless, or just too busy, praying with your pal will eventually become a natural part of your day, and you have gained a praying pal for life! A represents alliance, or having a partner to share your burdens and pray with you. There is power in numbers! Y represents your needs poured out to God. Things that have hindered you from growing, things that you gave up on praying about, or any other need—give them to God and pray persistently. This challenge can be completed independently between two people or in conjunction with a Sunday school class, youth group, midweek Bible study group, or various women’s groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There comes a time in life where we have to evaluate not only where we are going but where we have been. The time we take to look at our true direction and what we are doing to move closer to our goals and how we can reach them and maintain our stability and balance in our lives. There are several things that we have to understand about ourselves and how our mindset governs not only how we think but what comes into our lives. Changing our mindset and the way we think is very important to overall stability and balance. We will examine ways to reevaluate how we think to attract positive events into our lives. This positive attraction is not a fluke incident that we just take as a coincidence but we must understand that this. You wake up and say to yourself that there must be a better way for things to go in your life.
