Download or read book The End of Suffering written by Scott Cairns and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2009-11-01 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The extreme greatness of Christianity lies in the fact that it does not seek a supernatural remedy for suffering, but a supernatural use for it.” –Simone Weil “Like most people I, too, have been blindsided by personal grief now and again over the years. And I have an increasingly keen sense that, wherever I am, someone nearby is suffering now. For that reason, I lately have settled in to mull the matter over, gathering my troubled wits to undertake a difficult essay, more like what we used to call an assay, really—an earnest inquiry. I am thinking of it just now as a study in suffering, by which I hope to find some sense in affliction, hoping—just as I have come to hope about experience in general—to make something of it.” –from the book Is there meaning in our afflictions? With the thoughtfulness of a pilgrim and the prose of a poet, Scott Cairns takes us on a soul-baring journey through “the puzzlement of our afflictions.” Probing ancient Christian wisdom for revelation in his own pain, Cairns challenges us toward a radical revision of the full meaning and breadth of human suffering. Clear-eyed and unsparingly honest, this new addition to the literature of suffering is reminiscent of The Year of Magical Thinking as well as the works of C. S. Lewis. Cairns points us toward hope in the seasons of our afflictions, because “in those trials in our lives that we do not choose but press through—a stillness, a calm, and a hope become available to us.”
Download or read book The New Media Frontier written by John Mark Reynolds and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2008 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Pew Study reports that only 2% of America's twelve million bloggers claim "religion, spirituality or faith" as their main topic. This leaves a great mission field in cyberspace, say contributors to The New Media Frontier, because the latest forms of communication present so many opportunities to promote the cause of Christ in other topics and fields. Before blindly jumping in, however, Christians need to weigh the possibilities against the consequences, and then proceed with the practical discernment and grace this book provides. With a foreword by national radio host Hugh Hewitt-who has been at the forefront of the new media movement among Christians-editors Roger Overton and John Mark Reynolds (along with an impressive list of other new media experts) survey the current landscape and explore specific areas in which God's people can creatively expand their reach to a lost world. By stressing the urgency for Christian involvement, unearthing the dangers, and advising readers on how to use this media with different audiences, this book equips believers to advance, demonstrate, and utilize the Christian worldview in this exciting realm.

Book excerpt: Do you want more out of your devotional life? Do you want your "daily walk" to be more than a Bible passage, a short reading, and a prayer? Shouldn't a "devotional" give you ways to be more devoted? It's time for a devotional that makes you cry . . . and laugh! And it's time for a devotional that gives you more direction in your Christian life. The best part of this book is not what you will read; the best part is what you will do! Take the challenge of this 30 day devotional and experience Jesus and the joy of small acts of devotion and kindness. How is this devotional unique? The writing style is different. There is more storytelling than Bible commentary. And many of the stories are funny. God's sense of humor is truly on display. There is a "Song of the Day" to add a sense of worship to your daily Bible reading. Most importantly, there are three activities given each week for the reader to do. They are simple, but helpful. This aspect of the devotional makes it truly unique. Take the challenge and do as many of the activities as you can.

Download or read book Redeeming the Screens written by Jeanne C. DeFazio and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-05-03 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does the future look to us? Well, clearly we realize we now live in a world of screens, from the microcosmic universe of to smartphone . . . to the imposing vigil of the multiplex giants, looming over us in Imax and 3-D--more "real" than real--and to all the screens in between, from computers to iPads, to muted, high definition flat-screens pouring out images in homes, restaurants, banks, businesses, schools, doctors' offices, and hospitals, and on and on everywhere we turn. We cannot change this reality, so what these Christians, and so many like them are doing is trying to find ways to redeem what we put on these screens: what message we are sending out in word and image to the watching world. So, clearly, our task, whether we have been called to create or not, is to join these artists as "screen redeemers," assisting the Holy Spirit in reconciling the world to God (2 Cor 5:18-19) through helping the pervasively influential means of the media adjust its goals to the mission of Jesus Christ.
