Download or read book A Lamp for the Dark World written by Parvati Sharma and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-05-15 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Akbar the Great is a very familiar figure to most Indians. Hailed as a brilliant warrior, a great administrator, and a visionary ruler whose ideas of pluralism and tolerance sought to unify India with all its diversity of peoples and religions, he is also an increasingly contested figure in the national discourse. And familiar though he might be, Akbar is a mystery too, locked in his own legend: a man to admire but difficult to know. What was Akbar really like—as a child, a father, a friend, a foe? What were his moods like – his anger, his melancholy, his passions and his laughter? How did a thirteen-year-old fatherless boy, surrounded by ambitious advisors and warlords, become one of the world’s most powerful monarchs; and how did he deal with his dizzying rise? Was Akbar a sceptic or did he believe he had divine, miraculous powers? With revealing psychological insights into Akbar’s complex and magnetic personality, this biography is also the story of how Akbar’s ideas and ideals of kingship evolved through his reign; of how he came to concentrate in himself both political and religious authority; of his instances of megalomania, his doubts, and his yearning for justice. Rich in detail, and with a cast of unforgettable characters, it sparkles with humor and drama too, as it vividly evokes the world he lived in. Deeply researched and beautifully written, Parvati Sharma’s portrait of Akbar the Great brings alive as never before a man imperfect and extraordinary, who ruled for fifty years and has lived in the Indian imagination for close to half a millennium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I became a follower of Jesus at the age of thirty-nine. Until then I had been someone who, thanks to his training in the military and the law, reckoned he could work life out for himself. As part of my new life, I took to reading my way through the Bible each year. I have now read my way through the Bible twenty-five times. I wrote this series of articles based on the Bible because I felt the Holy Spirit prompting me to apply my character, humour, and possibly wisdom gleaned from my Christian life to present stories from the Bible in a way that would appeal to those who do not know them. This book comprises 150 articles written for a parish magazine. Many are re-writings of biblical stories, but in a contemporary way and with added idiosyncratic comments. To ensure readers stay on the right track, I included, where appropriate, references to the part of the Bible from which the stories were gleaned.

With contributions from evangelical leaders such as Kevin DeYoung, R. Albert Mohler Jr., R. C. Sproul, John Frame, and Mark Dever, this comprehensive volume makes the case that God's Word is without error and therefore completely reliable.

Download or read book The Mystery of the Cross written by Judith Couchman and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2010-03-05 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Christianity is a religion founded on the mystery of the cross of Christ." --Leo the Great At the center of Christianity sits the cross of Christ. From the beginning, Christ's followers celebrated the cross as a symbol of their faith. It was honored in church worship, carved into rough tombstones, pressed onto loaves of bread and set out as a sign of sanctuary. The cross represented what Christians believed, who they hoped for and how they approached life. In this thoughtful book Judith Couchman takes up forty images of the cross from early Christianity. As we discover the meaning and significance of each of these uses, we learn a little more about the early church. More than that, she helps us focus on the meaning of the cross and the Savior's sacrifice. Ideal for Lenten devotional reading and appropriate for any season of the church calendar, this book includes original illustrations of each cross image. The Mystery of the Cross will enrich your understanding of Christian tradition and draw you into Christ's presence.
