Download or read book A Firm Foundation written by Mornay Johnson and published by Author House. This book was released on 2005-12-14 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Firm Foundation is a book primarily for Christians, and those interested in gaining a better understanding of the Christian faith. It describes in detail, the six fundamental truths of Christianity - namely: Repentance from dead works; Faith towards God; Doctrine of baptisms; Laying on of hands; Resurrection of the dead; Eternal judgment. With one chapter dedicated to each of the above topics, the reader is able to clearly comprehend the elementary truths of the Christian faith. In the book’s quest to explain the essentials of Christianity, the reader is exposed to a broad spectrum of thought on their reading journey. And soon realizes that many of the topics discussed are applicable to the issues and concerns of every-day life. The author does an excellent job of utilizing ancient scripture to answer modern-day questions. A Firm Foundation will answer such questions as: “What will happen to me when I die?” and “Can I know for certain that I’ll go to heaven?” to name a few. Aside from answering questions of life and death, the reader will also discover what sets Christianity apart from other world religions. The book also tackles such controversial topics as; speaking in tongues; faith versus works; and the relationship between judgment and grace. Unlike many Christian authors, who paint an unrealistic picture of life, free from any hardship or pain, Mornay Johnson boldly declares that as humans, we are not immune from life’s adversities. He is also quick to add, that albeit we are not exempt from hardship, the Bible offers to necessary promises, provision and principles to surmount any obstacle faced this side of eternity. A Firm Foundation was chosen as the book’s title because it encapsulates the need for security and stability in a world of volatility and unsteadiness. The book is extremely informative. And the author has used examples from his own life, and those close to him, to explain how one can go about ensuring a life of firmness and immovability. Whether you’ve been a believer for a decade, a day, or simply curious about the Christian faith, this book will certainly appeal to you. It is written in such a manner that while it can stimulate the most learned of minds, it can also be understood by the most simple. The author has also managed to achieve optimum balance between theoretical information and practical application. This is a must read book for anyone looking for stability and security in their life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understand where we came from. Whether you're an avid student of the Bible or a skeptic of its relevance, The Book That Made Your World will transform your perception of its influence on virtually every facet of Western civilization. Indian philosopher Vishal Mangalwadi reveals the personal motivation that fueled his own study of the Bible and systematically illustrates how its precepts became the framework for societal structure throughout the last millennium. From politics and science, to academia and technology, the Bible's sacred copy became the key that unlocked the Western mind. Through Mangalwadi's wide-ranging and fascinating investigation, you'll discover: What triggered the West's passion for scientific, medical, and technological advancement How the biblical notion of human dignity informs the West's social structure and how it intersects with other worldviews How the Bible created a fertile ground for women to find social and economic empowerment How the Bible has uniquely equipped the West to cultivate compassion, human rights, prosperity, and strong families The role of the Bible in the transformation of education How the modern literary notion of a hero has been shaped by the Bible's archetypal protagonist Journey with Mangalwadi as he examines the origins of a civilization's greatness and the misguided beliefs that threaten to unravel its progress. Learn how the Bible transformed the social, political, and religious institutions that have sustained Western culture for the past millennium, and discover how secular corruption endangers the stability and longevity of Western civilization. Endorsements: “This is an extremely significant piece of work with huge global implications. Vishal brings a timely message.” (Ravi Zacharias, author, Walking from East to West and Beyond Opinion) “In polite society, the mere mention of the Bible often introduces a certain measure of anxiety. A serious discussion on the Bible can bring outright contempt. Therefore, it is most refreshing to encounter this engaging and informed assessment of the Bible’s profound impact on the modern world. Where Bloom laments the closing of the American mind, Mangalwadi brings a refreshing optimism.” (Stanley Mattson, founder and president, C. S. Lewis Foundation) “Vishal Mangalwadi recounts history in very broad strokes, always using his cross-cultural perspectives for highlighting the many benefits of biblical principles in shaping civilization.” (George Marsden, professor, University of Notre Dame; author, Fundamentalism and American Culture)

Download or read book Truth Plus Love written by Matt Brown and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine what our world might look like if Christians became known for remarkable love, as well as life-giving truth. The stakes are high and the need is great for Christians to represent Jesus to a watching world. And today, we have more influence than ever before--for better and for worse. We are among the first generations to have access to a global megaphone through social media. But it's not enough to speak truth louder to a noisy culture. To counter the reputation Christians have earned, our love must be just as loud. Ask evangelist Matt Brown, and he will tell you Christians today are facing a crisis of influence. In our rush to speak truth to today's tensions, cultural issues, and trending controversies, it becomes all too easy to focus on proving our points rather than extending God's grace. Conversely, when we seek only to love yet never proclaim a better way, we short-circuit God's plan. Truth Plus Love invites you to rediscover the biblical framework for engaging culture as ambassadors of Christ. Through biblical insight, cultural analysis, and practical principles, Matt Brown outlines how to champion truth without compromise, how to love unconditionally, and ultimately, how to step into this great adventure of representing God to the world. It's hard, it's messy, and it's the unfinished project of a lifetime, yet here we find our great adventure: representing God to a watching world.

Download or read book Man Enough written by Frank Pittman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1994-10-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does a boy learn to be a man? A man learns masculinity primarily from his father. But generations of boys who grow up without caring fathers or male mentors to emulate are left to guess what "men" are really like. They rely on cultural icons--larger-than-life images--as models of masculinity. As a result, they grow up mirroring overblown myths of manhood. Obsessed with being "man enough," they become philanderers, controllers, and competitors--constantly overcompensating for their loss of a true role model, yet sorely unprepared for family life. In Man Enough, psychiatrist and family therapist Frank Pittman explores what it is like to grow up male today. With great poignancy, humor, and candor, he weaves together case studies from his practice, examples from literature and films, plus personal vignettes from his own experiences as a father to examine these hyper-masculine men and to illustrate how they developed and how they can change. Dr. Pittman asserts that men can move past proving their masculinity and start practicing it by striving with the other guys rather than against them, achieving equality and intimacy with their mates--and by fathering. A man raises himself as he raises children and learns to understand and forgive his parents as he becomes one. An important book for men and women, Man Enough offers a new approach to issues of commitment, caring and control and creates a positive model for the fathers of tomorrow's men.
