Download or read book Beware of God written by Shalom Auslander and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violent rabbis, lovelorn wives, a busy Grim Reaper, shame-filled simians, and one seriously angry deity populate this humorous and disquieting collection. Shalom Auslander's stories in Beware of God have the mysterious punch of a dream. They are wide ranging and inventive: A young Jewish man's inexplicable transformation into a very large, blond, tattooed goy ends with a Talmudic argument over whether or not his father can beat his unclean son with a copy of the Talmud. A pious man having a near-death experience discovers that God is actually a chicken, and he's forced to reconsider his life -- and his diet. At God's insistence, Leo Schwartzman searches Home Depot for supplies for an ark. And a young boy mistakes Holocaust Remembrance Day as emergency preparedness training for the future. Auslander draws upon his upbringing in an Orthodox Jewish community in New York State to craft stories that are filled with shame, sex, God, and death, but also manage to be wickedly funny and poignant.

Download or read book The Prodigal Church written by Jared C. Wilson and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2015-04-16 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastors want to reach the lost with the good news of Jesus. However, we've too often assumed this requires loud music, flashy lights, and skinny jeans. In this gentle manifesto, Jared Wilson—a pastor who knows what it's like to serve in a large attractional church—challenges pastors to reconsider their priorities when it comes to how they "do church" and reach people in their communities. Writing with the grace and kindness of a trusted friend, Wilson encourages pastors to reexamine the Bible's teaching, not simply return to a traditional model for tradition's sake. He then sets forth an alternative to both the attractional and the traditional models: an explicitly biblical approach that is gospel focused, grace based, and fruit oriented.
Download or read book Christians Beware written by Magna Parks and published by TEACH Services, Inc.. This book was released on 2007 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several years ago, I happened to come across a sermon by a pastor who delineated several spiritual dangers inherent in the field of psychology. Initially, I was not happy about what I read in this sermon because the writer attacked most, if not all, that I had been taught as a psychologist. But, as the Holy Spirit worked on my heart and led me to further study this issue, I finally had to admit that there are many concepts in secular psychology that are in direct conflict with the Word of God. What an eye-opening experience it was for me! Dear reader, as you go through this book it is my prayer that you will allow your mind to be opened to the information that will be shared. It is my hope that we, as individuals, will learn that we can turn to God for help with every problem that comes our way. It is also my desire that, on a corporate level, we will realize that God's Word contains all that we need to have a flourishing, vibrant church. All things are possible with God!--Magna Parks, Ph.D.
Download or read book All God s Angels Beware written by Quentin S. Crisp and published by Chomu Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these ten stories, Quentin S. Crisp takes us from the spectral purlieus of the ghost of a suicide, searching in vain for a mortal confidante ('Troubled Joe'), to the future melancholy of a world in the early stages of human immortality, where non-holographic reality is despised (Karakasa), and through a variety of intimately portrayed worlds, both familiar and fantastical, to a final cri de coeur in the form of the novelette 'Suicide Watch', in which, against the background of the doomed present age, one suicidal loser attempts to save another.
Download or read book Jesus Unleashed written by John F. MacArthur and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walk through the gospel records of the “bold confrontations” of Jesus and discover how to use your newfound knowledge of the person of Jesus to defend the biblical truth of the Christian faith. Do you have any idea who Jesus really is? “What you think of Jesus Christ will thoroughly color how you think about everything else,” writes John MacArthur. This is a critical truth in the life of every believer. Your view of Jesus affects the way you view God, the world, and every one of your decisions. These days, Jesus is often portrayed as a pacifist, a philanthropist, or a docile teacher. He strikes a plastic--and sometimes pathetic--pose in the minds of many. Some prefer the meek and mild Jesus who heals the sick, calms fears, and speaks of peace and goodwill. These things do represent a portion of the Messiah. But tragically, too many have never been exposed to the rest of him. They have never seen a full 360-degree view of the Savior. His boldness in the face of confrontation and why that matters. Until now. Abridged from his classic bestseller, The Jesus You Can’t Ignore, Jesus Unleashed takes a revealing walk through the gospel records. Like an investigative journalist on a mission, author and teacher John MacArthur shows you a remarkable and compelling picture of Jesus unleashed.
Download or read book Buyer Beware written by Janet Parshall and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2012-09-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever thought why it is that so many Christians are reticent to enter into the ‘marketplace of ideas?’ Jesus commanded us to go into the world to deliver His message of truth, delivered in love. But He never said it would easy. In Buyer Beware, Janet Parshall takes the reader on a journey through the public square where ideas are ‘bought’ and ‘sold’ but where Truth is sometimes difficult to find. She examines some of the most controversial issues being debated in our culture today, by looking at them through the lens of Scripture. Using the prophet Jeremiah’s instructive letter to the exiles, held in Babylonian captivity, Parshall shows how a people, held captive in a sin-sick, fallen world, can live abundantly and triumphantly by loving God’s truth and by boldly declaring it in the public square. Buyer Beware is designed to encourage modern day saints as they enter the ‘marketplace’ by helping them discover the richness of God’s word and the poverty of the world’s message.
Download or read book Beware of Dogs written by Colin Eakin and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-12 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: And so we arrive at the purpose of this book: to awaken a generally torpid and negligent modern evangelical church out of its doctrinal stupor. In particular, it is designed to reassert the clear gospel-"the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes" (Rom 1:16)-and contrast it against several of its present day corruptions. As one insightful pastor comments upon Philippians 3:2, "Any attempt to please God by one's own efforts and draw attention away from Christ's accomplished redemption is the worst kind of wickedness." This book seeks to counter such wickedness. As in Paul's era, modern day believers must be warned against "dogs" and "evildoers" who still seek to distort the gospel by adding human achievement to God's work in salvation.
Download or read book Is It Good for the Jews written by Adam Biro and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-11-15 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Jewish stories,” writes Adam Biro, “resemble every people’s stories.” Yet at the same time there is no better way to understand the soul, history, millennial suffering, or, crucially, the joys of the Jewish people than through such tales—“There’s nothing,” writes Biro, “more revelatory of the Jewish being.” With Is It Good for the Jews? Biro offers a sequel to his acclaimed collection of stories Two Jews on a Train. Through twenty-nine tales—some new, some old, but all finely wrought and rich in humor—Biro spins stories of characters coping with the vicissitudes and reverses of daily life, while simultaneously painting a poignant portrait of a world of unassimilated Jewish life that has largely been lost to the years. From rabbis competing to see who is the most humble, to the father who uses suicide threats to pressure his children into visiting, to three men berated by the Almighty himself for playing poker, Biro populates his stories with memorable characters and absurd—yet familiar—situations, all related with a dry wit and spry prose style redolent of the long tradition of Jewish storytelling. A collection simultaneously of foibles and fables, adversity and affection, Is It Good for the Jews? reminds us that if in the beginning was the word, then we can surely be forgiven for expecting a punch line to follow one of these days.

Book excerpt: Most books on ethics and morality view forgiveness as a way to escape suffering, as if anger or hatredwere something to brush off with the breezy words "I forgive you." Rabbi Rami sees forgiveness differently because he understands the trickster nature of the self. In his Guide to Forgiveness, he'll help you to stop identifying with the slights and grudges borne against you so that forgiveness can begin to happen naturally.

Download or read book Beware of Pastors written by Kolawole Oyeyemi and published by Trendy Publishing. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beware of Pastors...Pastors Beware is a book written with stunning simplicity and power, which teaches a haunting and amazing truth about the unpredictability and the wonder of the Church of Christ in these times. A book that is as compelling, as it is thought-provoking, Kolawole Oyeyemi weaves a powerful revelation of Truth in the face of unimaginable happenings. With the grace of a master Teacher, he explores the weaknesses of the body of Christ, and the strength it takes to conquer our greatest obstacles; revealing how building on the strongest foundation, which Christ has already laid, can yield the most unexpected rewards… and how the most winding journey, as a believer can begin with a purposeful step towards that very foundation Without a doubt, false prophets thrive on the ignorance and/or the laziness of the believer. The tragedy is that they are multiplying; but the truth is that God has a containment plan! As much as believers are endangered by these false ministers, Ministers are also endangered by forces within the body out to destroy ministries. This Holy Ghost inspired book is by turns, profound, poignant, moving, and warmly life changing, as it examines the place and the importance of relationships in the fulfillment of the believer’s destiny, especially the relationship with spiritual leaders. It also examines how and what the Ministers of God who want to stand and remain standing must do in order to ensure the fulfillment of their ministries by God’s standards. With unerring insight and conviction, Kolawole Oyeyemi explains that when believers are armed with the requisite knowledge, they will not be cheap preys in the hand of false ministers; so also when true Ministers of God are well equipped, they will be able to avoid these traps.
