Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Surrounded by people, yet feeling alone. This describes how many of us live, yearning for deeper relationships. Our desire to know others, and to be known by them in the same way, goes unfulfilled. This longing for intimacy and the community of true friendship is rooted in our very nature. Yet the number of shallow social interactions that we pour ourselves into on a daily basis ends up consuming our time and drawing us further away from the very type of community and friendships we need. Break Bread Together will show you how to change these destructive patterns and nurture true community. Join Jessica as she guides you through Jesus's last meal with his disciples. See how he cultivated these friendships and how you can develop new ways of bonding with your friends by following Jesus's example. Through Scripture and personal stories, Jessica will show you how to gather as friends, to break bread together, and to open your heart to the life-giving friendships around you"--

Download or read book Breaking Bread with the Dead written by Alan Jacobs and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Spectator Book of the Year It's fashionable to think of the writers of the past as irredeemably tarnished by prejudice. Aristotle despised women.

Join literary scholar Alan Jacobs for a truly nourishing feast of learning. Discover what Homer can teach us about force, what Machiavelli has to say about reading and what Charlotte Brontë reveals about race. Not all the guests are people you might want to invite into your home, but they all bring something precious to the table. In Breaking Bread with the Dead, an omnivorous reader draws us into close and sympathetic engagement with minds across the ages, from Horace to Donna Haraway.

Download or read book Transcendence at the Table written by Julia Hurlow and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-10-29 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When is the last time you sat down for a meal, to break bread with other people, and experienced peace? Throughout the arc of the scriptural narrative the word “shalom” is used as a way to speak of the way of peace. This word shalom embodies the depiction of creation where all things would glorify to the Triune God as well as bear the image of the Triune God who seamlessly embraces love and belonging. What if the universal space at a table is where shalom is experienced relationally? What if the longing people have for love and belonging can be extended through hospitality at a table? Unification can happen when invitations are extended to come, participate, and communicate at the table as a reflection of the Imago Dei.

Download or read book Let Us Break Bread Together written by Pastor Michael Smith and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2005-02-01 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jews have been celebrating the Passover through a special meal, called a seder, for millenia. Jesus himself celebrated the Passover feast with his disciples in what we refer to as The Last Supper. In this special book, co-authored by a rabbi and a pastor, we have the unique opportunity to experience an authentic Jewish Passover seder, from a distinctively Christian perspective. There are many haggadot used in Jewish homes and synagogues, but this one offers meaningful insights on how Christians can both learn from Judaism as a means of deepening their Christian faith, and better understand the Jewishness of Jesus. Always respectful of the differences between Judaism and Christianity, this Passover guide provides: *a complete guide (plan and script) to a meaningful seder experience *a deeper knowledge of the great themes of the Exodus story, in combination with Christian insights *rich opportunities for a better understanding Lent and Holy Week *a fuller knowledge of why Jesus placed such importance on the universal themes of slavery, freedom, and community around the seder table. "Explores the rich liturgy of the Passover seder from both the Jewish and Christian traditions without compromising the distinctive beliefs of either faith tradition. Smith and Shapiro have given us a model of interfaith cooperation, based on their evident respect for one another, that contributes to greater mutual understanding. A splendid contribution to worship education!" -Timothy George, dean of Beeson Divinity School of Samford University; executive editor of Christianity Today "If Christian churches choose to observe Passover, this is the resource they should use. . . . a comprehensive but easy-to-use tool for broadening and deepening their understanding of Passover. -Jan Turentine, Managing Editor, Acacia Resources, Baptist Center for Ethics

Download or read book Breaking Bread written by Jonathan Jansen and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. This book was released on 2024-09-09 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor. Pundit. Public nuisance. In his columns, books and on social media, Jonathan Jansen is prolific, and he likes to speak his mind about schools and universities, race, politics and our complex South African society. He has brought incisive analysis, compassion and a sense of humour to some of the most controversial issues in our country for many years. And now, in this memoir, Jansen goes back to his early years: growing up in a loving, fiercely evangelical family on the Cape Flats, being put on the road to purpose by an inspiring school teacher and becoming the first of his generation to go to university. Journey with Jansen as he finds his passion for teaching high school and becomes a leading academic and thinker amid great transformation in post-apartheid South Africa. His gift for story-telling and his interactions with people from different walks of life offer moving insights into the intricacies of South African society, insights that are filled with wisdom and leadership lessons. Jansen's patchwork of memories tells a bigger story than that of his own life. It's a tale of learning the value of 'breaking bread' with others, of finding mutual recognition in our different fears and faiths, our fumbles and fortitude, our hurts and our hopes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean when a fictional hero takes a journey?. Shares a meal? Gets drenched in a sudden rain shower? Often, there is much more going on in a novel or poem than is readily visible on the surface—a symbol, maybe, that remains elusive, or an unexpected twist on a character—and there's that sneaking suspicion that the deeper meaning of a literary text keeps escaping you. In this practical and amusing guide to literature, Thomas C. Foster shows how easy and gratifying it is to unlock those hidden truths, and to discover a world where a road leads to a quest; a shared meal may signify a communion; and rain, whether cleansing or destructive, is never just rain. Ranging from major themes to literary models, narrative devices, and form, How to Read Literature Like a Professor is the perfect companion for making your reading experience more enriching, satisfying, and fun.
