Download or read book Diary of a Confused Christian written by Nai B Wise and published by OnyxAcumen. This book was released on 2024-03-30 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This read is a self-help supplement to prompt consideration of influences on life's choices and to empower one's mind to choose truth over traditions. I've been triggered since I was 8 years old, and the time has come for me to excavate and discover my inner contents. No more going along to get along. I fervently and tearfully sought answers to my questions, and I found them. Answers not to boast that I know more, but to bring me and hopefully others peace. I know these answers will trigger some folks. I know these answers will make me more enemies. But I do hope these answers will help someone. I hope these answers will prevent physical and spiritual suicide, and, above all, bring understanding. This book is dedicated to the backslider, the doubter, the once faith-filled turned atheist, the almost reprobate, and borderline blasphemer; and to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, who is able to keep us from falling and who just wants to reason with us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'I wonder if you can have a boyfriend and be a feminist. I might just google it.' Kat doesn't know much about feminism, but she does know it's confusing - just like everything else in her life. Utterly hilarious and boldly honest, Kat tells it how it is - and it is INCREDIBLY embarrassing. Perfect for those who love Holly Bourne and Sex Education. 15-year-old Kat wants to do GOOD FEMINISM, although she's not always sure what that means. She also wants to be a writer, get together with Hot Josh (is this a feminist ambition?), win at her coursework and not make a TOTAL EMBARRASSMENT of herself at all times. But the path to true feminism is filled with mortifying incidents, muddling moments and Instagram hell. And it doesn't help that Hot Josh is just, well, properly, distractingly hot. And when everything at school starts to get a bit too much, Kat knows she's lost her way, and the only way forward is to ask for help ... Bold, authentic and laugh-out-loud funny, Kat's diary fearlessly navigates her way through life, love and teenage anxiety.

Download or read book The Life and Diary of David Brainerd written by David Brainerd and published by Hendrickson Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "He was one of distinguished natural abilities, as all are sensible who had acquaintance with him. As a minister of the gospel, he was called to unusual services in that work; and his ministry was attended by very remarkable and unusual events ... He had a peculiar opportunity of acquaintance with the false appearances and counterfeits of religion; was the instrument of a most remarkable awakening ...In the following account, the reader will have an opportunity to see not only what were the external circumstances and remarkable incidents of the life of this person, and how he spent his time from day to day, as to his external behavior; but also what passed in his own heart." --Jonathan Edwards David Brainerd, an early missionary to the American Indians in New York, New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania, died in 1747 at the age of twenty-nine at the home of his long-time friend and supporter, the eminent Puritan theologian and preacher Jonathan Edwards. It is thanks to Edwards' careful preservation and thoughtful editing of his friend's Diary and Journal that Brainerd has influenced Christians all over the world for over 250 years. As he labored in what was still the untamed American frontier to bring the Gospel to the Indians, Brainerd faced many challenges, including depression, loneliness, and physical illness. Yet his genuine piety and single-minded devotion to God, both in heart and in practice, form a consistent backdrop to his turbulent inner world. This compilation offers a rare glimpse into the life of a man compelled by God to share His love with others in the most difficult of circumstances.

Book excerpt: **THE INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER** "An unforgettable—and Hollywood-bound—new thriller... A mix of Hitchcockian suspense, Agatha Christie plotting, and Greek tragedy." —Entertainment Weekly The Silent Patient is a shocking psychological thriller of a woman’s act of violence against her husband—and of the therapist obsessed with uncovering her motive. Alicia Berenson’s life is seemingly perfect. A famous painter married to an in-demand fashion photographer, she lives in a grand house with big windows overlooking a park in one of London’s most desirable areas. One evening her husband Gabriel returns home late from a fashion shoot, and Alicia shoots him five times in the face, and then never speaks another word. Alicia’s refusal to talk, or give any kind of explanation, turns a domestic tragedy into something far grander, a mystery that captures the public imagination and casts Alicia into notoriety. The price of her art skyrockets, and she, the silent patient, is hidden away from the tabloids and spotlight at the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London. Theo Faber is a criminal psychotherapist who has waited a long time for the opportunity to work with Alicia. His determination to get her to talk and unravel the mystery of why she shot her husband takes him down a twisting path into his own motivations—a search for the truth that threatens to consume him....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first section of this book was written by an incredible man. He was my old pastor and his name is Brandon Park. The reality of Hell As Our Motivation for Soul Winning The message of hell is missing in today's church. We are now reaping the results of failing to bring that message. We need to "sound the alarm" In the church that Hell is a real place and those that do not know Christ will go there. Paul said "Knowing the terror of the lord we persuade men" (2 Corinthians 5:11) God's message on Hell is meant to be disturbing. R.T. Kendall said, "The teachings of Jesus on Hell were not meant to make us comfortable." William Booth said "if I could have it my way, I would not send my young ministers to seminary or Bible College. I would have all of them spend five minutes in hell. After they had been in hell five minutes, they would be motivated to become the greatest evangelists this world has ever known" If we are going to prepare people for a place called heaven; we must preach about a place called hell. There are 5 certainties about this place called Hell.

Download or read book The Vatican Diaries written by John Thavis and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2014-02-25 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling inside look at one of the world’s most powerful and mysterious institutions For more than twenty-five years, John Thavis held one of the most remarkable journalistic assignments in the world: reporting on the inner workings of the Vatican. In The Vatican Diaries, Thavis reveals Vatican City as a place struggling to define itself in the face of internal and external threats, where Curia cardinals fight private wars and sexual abuse scandals threaten to undermine papal authority. Thavis (author of The Vatican Prophecies: Investigating Supernatural Signs, Apparitions, and Miracles in the Modern Age) also takes readers through the politicking behind the election of Pope Francis and what we might expect from his papacy. The Vatican Diaries is a perceptive, compelling, and provocative account of this singular institution and will be of interest to anyone intrigued by the challenges faced by religion in an increasingly secularized world.
Download or read book Consuming Religion written by Vincent J. Miller and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-08-18 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary theology, argues Miller, is silent on what is unquestionably one of the most important cultural issues it faces: consumerism or "consumer culture." While there is no shortage of expressions of concern about the corrosive effects of consumerism from the standpoint of economic justice or environmental ethics, there is a surprising paucity of theoretically sophisticated works on the topic, for consumerism, argues Miller, is not just about behavioral "excesses"; rather, it is a pervasive worldview that affects our construction as persons-what motivates us, how we relate to others, to culture, and to religion. Consuming Religion surveys almost a century of scholarly literature on consumerism and the commodification of culture and charts the ways in which religious belief and practice have been transformed by the dominant consumer culture of the West. It demonstrates the significance of this seismic cultural shift for theological method, doctrine, belief, community, and theological anthropology. Like more popular texts, the book takes a critical stand against the deleterious effects of consumerism. However, its analytical complexity provides the basis for developing more sophisticated tactics for addressing these problems.
