Download or read book Becoming Women of the Word written by Sarah Christmyer and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2019-08-02 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of a 2020 Catholic Press Association book award (third place, scripture-popular studies). The women God called to bring his chosen people into the world were ordinary women who struggled with emptiness, oppression, infertility, and loss—yet who found strength and hope in God. In her first book, Sarah Christmyer—codeveloper of The Great Adventure Catholic Bible study program—pairs the stories of key Old Testament women with stories of women she has known to show us how we can hear God, say yes to his call, and share him with the world just as they did. Breaking open the scriptures to reveal the historical, cultural, and biblical context in which Old Testament women lived, Sarah Christmyer breathes new life into their stories and makes their lives surprisingly relatable. In the process, she shares stories from her own faith journey and the lives of family and friends to show how the same principles that turned ordinary women into heroines of the faith are true for our lives today. Each chapter of Becoming Women of the Word highlights the spiritual legacy of one or more women in the Old Testament. Their world was vastly different from ours, yet they faced the same questions we do: when we can’t feel God’s presence, where do we find help? When our world is collapsing, where is God? Why should we trust him? How can we trust him? Christmyer simply and clearly draws from the lives of these women important principles that help us to trust—even as we struggle with doubt. For example: Through Eve, we learn to hold on to God’s promise even when we fail. Sarah reminds us to wait on God’s timing to make us fruitful. Miriam, the sister of Moses, shows how to lead by example. Ruth and Esther challenge us to see womanhood as a gift. Hannah and Judith inspire us to trust God even in matters of life and death. These unforgettable portraits create a colorful mosaic of faith, encouraging us to mine God’s Word for spiritual treasure and to pass on the gift.

Download or read book God and the Pandemic written by TOM WRIGHT and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2020-05-28 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Superbly written, utterly Bible based. . . Do not hesitate!’ Archbishop Justin Welby What are we supposed to think about the coronavirus crisis? Some people think they know: ‘This is a sign of the End,’ they say. ‘It’s all predicted in the book of Revelation.’ Others disagree but are equally clear: ‘This is a call to repent. God is judging the world and through this disease he’s telling us to change.’ Some join in the chorus of blame and condemnation: ‘It’s the fault of the Chinese, the government, the World Health Organization...' Tom Wright examines these reactions to the virus and finds them wanting. Instead, he invites you to consider a different way of seeing and responding – a way that draws on the teachings and examples of scripture, and above all on the way of living, thinking and praying revealed to us by Jesus.

Download or read book A Christian Response to Covid 19 written by Walter Kasper and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-04 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 crisis suddenly changed everything in the world, including the celebration of the Eucharist. This small volume addresses existential questions concerning Christians amid the pervasive threat of COVID-19. Each author shares his personal experience during the crisis while reflecting from a Christian perspective within his personal responsibility each with a different focus. All four see meaning in the crisis as Pope Francis expresses in the foreword: it has yet again made us aware of our transience, frailty, and mortality. The crisis he says invites us to derive new hope, courage, energy, and happiness from the sources of life and faith, and to stand by those suffering hardship and difficulty. The writings in A Christian Response to COVID-19 speak to the decisions Christians are making in these days to reconcile our lives more fully with God, as we seek solidarity in our common vulnerability as human beings and place our lives into the service of other people.

Download or read book What in the World Is God Doing with COVID 19 written by Tony Watts and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-07-08 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading a "Peanuts" comic strip many years ago stuck with me like no other. It was a total of four frames that involved a simple conversation between Lucy and Linus as they watched the torrential rain fall from their window. "Boy," said Lucy, "Look at it rain...What if it floods the whole world." "It will never do that," responded Linus, "God promised...and the sign of the promise is the rainbow." "You've taken a great load off my mind," Lucy told Linus.And then it happened. Linus made one of the greatest statements ever found in a comic strip, or anywhere else, for that matter. "Sound theology has a way of doing that," said Linus to his previously worried older sister.This profound idea is behind the writing of What in the World is God doing with COVID-19? As the Corona Virus made its way around the world and all but crippled the American way of life, fear and uncertainty began to weigh heavily upon the hearts of many. In its midst, I began hearing all sorts of ideas about God and what he was doing with the virus. Many insisted that he was judging the world while others shouted warnings about the anti-Christ and his mark awaiting us all. Still another was perfectly fine with the depressing idea that Christianity had no answers to the virus at all because, according to him, it wasn't supposed to. So, which is it? What are people, particularly Christians, supposed to think? This booklet addresses these issues. While there are many things we cannot know in regard to suffering, there are some things we can know with confidence. Hence, What in the World is God doing with COVID-19? focuses on those often forgotten theological truths that can help take those burdensome "loads" of fear and uncertainty "off" as we absorb them. It focuses on God's use of COVID-19, and any other form of suffering, in his exposure of sin and just what it means to be under his "judgment." It gives attention to his sovereign control over the affairs of men and just how the virus demonstrates this reality. And finally, it highlights God's loving reach for those who, in the absence of COVID-19, might otherwise continue and die in their sin. This book, then, affirms that the best vaccine for the uncertainty and fear spawned by COVID-19, or any other source, is a good dose of sound theology.
