  • Pages : 306 pages

Download or read book Abiding Grace written by Mark C. Taylor and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Post-war, post-industrialism, post-religion, post-truth, post-biological, post-human, post-modern. What succeeds the post- age? Mark C. Taylor returns here to some of his central philosophical preoccupations and asks: What comes after the end? Abiding Grace navigates the competing Hegelian and Kierkegaardian trajectories born out of the Reformation and finds Taylor arguing from spaces in between, showing how both narratives have shaped recent philosophy and culture. For Hegel, Luther’s internalization of faith anticipated the modern principle of autonomy, which reached its fullest expression in speculative philosophy. The closure of the Hegelian system still endures in the twenty-first century in consumer society, financial capitalism, and virtual culture. For Kierkegaard, by contrast, Luther’s God remains radically transcendent, while finite human beings and their world remain fully dependent. From this insight, Heidegger and Derrida developed an alternative view of time in which a radically open future breaks into the present to transform the past, demonstrating that, far from autonomous, life is a gift from an Other that can never be known. Offering an alternative genealogy of deconstruction that traces its pedigree back to readings of Paul by way of Luther, Abiding Grace presents a thoroughgoing critique of modernity and postmodernity’s will to power and mastery. In this new philosophical and theological vision, history is not over and the future remains endlessly open.

Book The Abiding Life

    Book Details:
  • Author : Josh Houston
  • Publisher : Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
  • Release : 2018-01-03
  • ISBN : 9781974474332
  • Pages : 208 pages

Download or read book The Abiding Life written by Josh Houston and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-01-03 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the final conversations Jesus had with his disciples before his arrest was one of identity, found in chapter 15 of John's gospel. Jesus's words: "Abide in me." This book pulls on that thread. It covers choosing Christ as your vine, what it practically means to abide in Christ on a daily basis, our intended relationship with fruit, our response to pruning, how to get what we want in prayer, the necessity of love, and joy beyond our circumstances. Abundant and joy-filled life is in fact possible when we do what Jesus asks. He knows how to change the world, and astonishingly he calls us to be part of that change. If we will allow God to change our hearts, he will change the world through us. The abiding life is how we do it.

Book Abide

  • Author : Heather Khym
  • Publisher : Ave Maria Press
  • Release : 2022-02-25
  • ISBN : 1646801180
  • Pages : 160 pages

Download or read book Abide written by Heather Khym and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2022-02-25 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this personal healing retreat from Heather Khym, cohost of the popular Abiding Together podcast, you are invited to break through the barriers that prevent you from trusting and experiencing the deep love of Jesus and be transformed by the freedom that comes when we vulnerably bring our entire selves to the foot of the Cross. Rooted in the teaching of Khym’s Vancouver-based ministry, Life Restoration, Abide shares scripture, essential Catholic teaching, and the author’s personal healing journey to reintroduce you to God as the Divine Healer, Restorer, and Miracle Worker. Khym offers you a compass to navigate your past as you dig into difficult memories that have disoriented your understanding of God and made you afraid to trust him. She challenges you to cast off your self-protective tendencies and to recognize your need for healing so you can be the person you were created to be. Jesus says, “Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit because apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:4–5). We are meant to abide in Jesus, to unite ourselves to him. Yet over the course of our lives, we experience brokenness and loss, which lead us to doubt God’s presence. Khym challenges you to step outside your comfort zone so that you can authentically: recognize God as a loving father who desires your happiness; practice spiritual and emotional vulnerability with Jesus; invite the Divine Healer into your past and relationships; acknowledge that you have an enemy who battles for your heart; and overcome false beliefs about God and learn to trust Jesus as a compelling, captivating, and trustworthy lover of your soul. Each chapter includes practical reflection-based exercises that help you recall troublesome memories, identify the roots of your feelings, and meditate on excerpts from scripture and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. You’ll come away with a renewed hope in the power of God to bring freedom to your fearful heart as you start to live a life restored in Christ, one that begins with and is sustained by an intimate relationship with Jesus.

  • ISBN : 1449739288
  • Pages : 118 pages

Download or read book Abiding in God s Word written by Mrs. Beverly Claiborne and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-07-12 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abiding in God’s Word shows Christians where they are still carnal and shallow; and also what it really means to abide in Christ. This book will encourage you to read your Bible, evaluate your spiritual condition, and strengthen your faith. The author shares her angelic experience, speaks about trials, tribulations, and the spiritual blindness Christians encounter in everyday life. You will embrace the true spirituality that heals, and experience freedom and wholeness. You will soften your heart, restore your faith, and recognize the sinful nature which keeps us separated from God. You will rise to a new level of worship and begin to demonstrate love like never before. Too often we expect others to function as we do, and then we are disappointed that they don’t. The Christian life is a journey and without the Holy Spirit dwelling in you—it’s impossible to live a life pleasing to God. Are you willing to abide?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abiding Mission presents the discipline of abiding as the first priority of the Christian and the base methodology of mission. Based on an exegesis of John 15, Abiding Mission illustrates the definition of abiding by examining the abiding mission lives of seven key pioneers in mission to Muslims in North Africa, including Daniel Comboni (Catholic), Samuel Zwemer (Presbyterian), Oswald Chambers (YMCA/Pentecostal League), Lillian Trasher (Assemblies of God), Lilias Trotter (Algerian Missions Band), Douglas Thornton (Anglican-CMS), and Temple Gairdner (Anglican-CMS). The work continues by looking at the operationalization of abiding as developed from interviews from current missionaries to Muslims in North Africa.

Book Abiding Courage

  • Publisher : Univ of North Carolina Press
  • Release : 2000-11-09
  • ISBN : 0807862843
  • Pages : 216 pages

Download or read book Abiding Courage written by Gretchen Lemke-Santangelo and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2000-11-09 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1940 and 1945, thousands of African Americans migrated from the South to the East Bay Area of northern California in search of the social and economic mobility that was associated with the region's expanding defense industry and its reputation for greater racial tolerance. Drawing on fifty oral interviews with migrants as well as on archival and other written records, Abiding Courage examines the experiences of the African American women who migrated west and built communities there. Gretchen Lemke-Santangelo vividly shows how women made the transition from southern domestic and field work to jobs in an industrial, wartime economy. At the same time, they were struggling to keep their families together, establishing new households, and creating community-sustaining networks and institutions. While white women shouldered the double burden of wage labor and housework, black women faced even greater challenges: finding houses and schools, locating churches and medical services, and contending with racism. By focusing on women, Lemke-Santangelo provides new perspectives on where and how social change takes place and how community is established and maintained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • OPRAH’S BOOK CLUB PICK • “An instant American classic and almost certainly the keynote nonfiction book of the American century thus far.”—Dwight Garner, The New York Times The Pulitzer Prize–winning, bestselling author of The Warmth of Other Suns examines the unspoken caste system that has shaped America and shows how our lives today are still defined by a hierarchy of human divisions—now with a new Afterword by the author. #1 NONFICTION BOOK OF THE YEAR: Time ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The Washington Post, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, O: The Oprah Magazine, NPR, Bloomberg, The Christian Science Monitor, New York Post, The New York Public Library, Fortune, Smithsonian Magazine, Marie Claire, Slate, Library Journal, Kirkus Reviews Winner of the Carl Sandberg Literary Award • Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize • National Book Award Longlist • National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist • Dayton Literary Peace Prize Finalist • PEN/John Kenneth Galbraith Award for Nonfiction Finalist • PEN/Jean Stein Book Award Longlist • Kirkus Prize Finalist “As we go about our daily lives, caste is the wordless usher in a darkened theater, flashlight cast down in the aisles, guiding us to our assigned seats for a performance. The hierarchy of caste is not about feelings or morality. It is about power—which groups have it and which do not.” In this brilliant book, Isabel Wilkerson gives us a masterful portrait of an unseen phenomenon in America as she explores, through an immersive, deeply researched, and beautifully written narrative and stories about real people, how America today and throughout its history has been shaped by a hidden caste system, a rigid hierarchy of human rankings. Beyond race, class, or other factors, there is a powerful caste system that influences people’s lives and behavior and the nation’s fate. Linking the caste systems of America, India, and Nazi Germany, Wilkerson explores eight pillars that underlie caste systems across civilizations, including divine will, bloodlines, stigma, and more. Using riveting stories about people—including Martin Luther King, Jr., baseball’s Satchel Paige, a single father and his toddler son, Wilkerson herself, and many others—she shows the ways that the insidious undertow of caste is experienced every day. She documents how the Nazis studied the racial systems in America to plan their outcasting of the Jews; she discusses why the cruel logic of caste requires that there be a bottom rung for those in the middle to measure themselves against; she writes about the surprising health costs of caste, in depression and life expectancy, and the effects of this hierarchy on our culture and politics. Finally, she points forward to ways America can move beyond the artificial and destructive separations of human divisions, toward hope in our common humanity. Original and revealing, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents is an eye-opening story of people and history, and a reexamination of what lies under the surface of ordinary lives and of American life today.

It can be read alone or in a group, as it serves as a companion and fosters compassionate care and conversation through deep grief.

Book excerpt: HISTORY / JEWISH / HOLOCAUST. There will come a time, not too many years from now, when no one who suffered at the hands of the Nazis will be here to proclaim: "I was there. This happened to me. I saw this." It took Benjamin Samuelson 50 years before he could begin to relate his story to Jeff Shevlowitz. From his happy childhood in Rumania to the horrors of four Nazi concentration camps to the Israeli struggle for independence--this author's story is of historical significance; countless miracles; and the will to live, with abiding hope, to tell the world of what he had witnessed. The author is one of few survivors of the Auschwitz Sonderkommando, reflecting: "I don't understand how or why I made it through alive. . . . I woke, ate, did the task assigned me, and had but one thought: Why? So many times, I considered walking into the air-tight brick room with the next group of people. Why didn't I? The only answer I've been able to think of is that some inner, divine spark of life would not allow it. I sincerely felt that by living, I would one day bear witness." And that day has come with the writing of this book. In order to keep the promise that Benjamin Samuelson made to himself more than a half century ago, he felt he must now tell his story, while he is still able to, in memory of those who can no longer bear witness to the Holocaust for themselves.
