Download or read book Experiencing Jesus Joy through Obedient Discipleship Second Edition written by Dr. James B. Joseph and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiencing Jesus' Joy through Obedient Discipleship helps people understand their God-given purpose for existing and understand that each person of every society, culture, and religious background must decide if the one true God is worthy to follow. Although everyone has a nature that has been marred by disobedience toward God, God continually works in everyone's heart and mind to teach the reality of His desire for each to learn to return His love and voluntarily submit to His leadership thereby becoming part of His eternal close-knit holy family. All who listen and learn to return God's love become followers of Christ. Experiencing Jesus' Joy through Obedient Discipleship helps its readers understand the creation more fully including being made in the image of God, spiritual warfare, self-centeredness, spiritual awakening, commitment, sojourning with God, and being His representatives to those who are still struggling with Satan's deceptions and their own self-centeredness.
Download or read book Milarepa and the Art of Discipleship II written by Sangharakshita and published by Windhorse Publications. This book was released on 2018-04-05 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the continuing story of Milarepa and his disciple Rechungpa, first encountered in volume 18 of The Complete Works. As portrayed in The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa, Rechungpa is a promising disciple, but he has a lot to learn, being sometimes proud, distracted, anxious, desirous of comfort and praise, over-attached to book learning, stubborn, sulky and liable to go to extremes. In other words, he is very human, and surely recognizable to anyone who has embarked on the spiritual path. He all too often takes his teacher's advice the wrong way, or simply ignores it, and it takes all of Milarepa's skill, compassion and patience to keep their relationship intact and help his unruly disciple to stay on the path to Enlightenment.In the story that begins this volume, matters come to a head when Milarepa burns the books that Rechungpa went all the way to India to acquire, but by the end of the volume, Rechungpa is able to set out on his own mission to teach the Dharma. Much happens in between.Sangharakshita's commentary, based on seminars given in the late 1970s and early 1980s, draws from the stories of Milarepa and his wayward disciple much valuable advice for any would-be spiritual practitioner.

Download or read book Discipleship in the Ancient World and Matthew s Gospel Second Edition written by Michael J. Wilkins and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-08-24 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a comprehensive sweep of the relevant literature--including classical and Hellenistic sources, the Septuagint, and the New Testament--the author defines disciple and related terms as they were used in the ancient world. Pertinent Semitic words from the Hebrew Bible, Rabbinic literature, and Qumran documents provide additional background for the term. A special emphasis is Matthew's use of mathetes and the role of Simon Peter as a model disciple. The study first appeared in 1988 in the prestigious Novum Testamentum Supplements under the title The Concept of Disciple in Matthew's Gospel: As Reflected in the Use of the Term Mathetes. In this second edition, the author includes a new chapter outlining advances in the field since the book was first published.

Download or read book Spiritual Discipleship written by J. Oswald Sanders and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Take time and trouble to keep yourself spiritually fit.” — 1 Tim. 4:7, J. B. Phillips Translation As J. Oswald Sanders points out, true discipleship is more than intellectual assent to a belief in Christ; it involves the whole person and lifestyle. True disciples pursue their Master. They know that God is watching over their faith, but they also take Scripture’s command seriously: “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you.” They take pains, by His power, to look more and more like Jesus. This book will help you to be such a disciple. It examines Jesus’ teaching on what it means to follow Him, helping you become the kind of Christian Jesus wants you to be—not one devised by man or even other Christians. You’ll learn: The profile of an ideal disciple Conditions for discipleship The tests that disciples endure How disciples pray and grow The posture and practices of a disciple And more For anyone who wants to be not just a believer in Christ, but an imitator of Him, this book is a treasured resource. Includes questions for reflection, ideal for both individual and group study.
Download or read book Lived Theology written by Charles Marsh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lived Theology contains the work of an emerging generation of theologians and scholars who pursue research, teaching, and writing as a form of public responsibility motivated by the conviction that theological ideas aspire in their inner logic toward social expression. Written as a two-year collaboration of the Project on Lived Theology at the University of Virginia, this volume offers a series of illustrations and styles that distinguish Lived Theology in the broader conversation with other major approaches to the religious interpretation of embodied life. The book begins with a modest query: How might theological writing, research, and teaching be expanded to engage lived experience with the same care and precision given by scholars to books and articles? Behind this question lies the claim that theological engagements and interpretations of lived experience offer rich and often surprising insights into God's presence and activity in the world. Answers to, and explorations of, this question form the narrative framework of this groundbreaking volume. Lived theology is shown to be an exceedingly curious enterprise, transgressing disciplinary boundaries as a matter of course, examining circumstance, context, and motivation, and marshalling every available resource for the sake of discerning the theological shape of enacted and embodied faith. Understanding the social consequences of theological ideas is a task with wide ranging significance, inside the academy and in the broader forums of civic discussion. Contributors consider Lived Theology from a diverse array of experiences and locations, including towns in Mississippi struggling with histories of racist violence and murder; a homeless shelter in Atlanta; churches in the Democratic Republic of Congo; faith based volunteer organizations in Columbus, Ohio; and a college classroom in the Midwest. This innovative work offers a fresh and exciting model for scholars, teachers, practitioners, and students seeking to reconnect the lived experience of faith communities with academic study and reflection.
Download or read book Discipling the Flock written by Paul Tautges and published by Shepherd Press. This book was released on 2018-06-08 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discipling the Flock is a short book to help church leaders bring about heart-based change in the lives of the people they shepherd, through the personal ministry of the Word. Here is an urgent appeal to return to authentic discipleship; here is a call to shepherds to be tenacious in their preaching of the whole counsel of God, and tender in their application of its truth to the lives of God’s sheep through their personal ministry. Discipling the Flock calls church shepherds to joyfully embrace Christ’s calling to “feed my sheep” and explains the personal application of the Great Commission.
Download or read book Radical Discipleship written by Jennifer M. McBride and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reminiscent of Bonhoeffer’s Discipleship, Jennifer McBride’s Radical Discipleship utilizes the liturgical seasons as a framework for engaging the social evils of mass incarceration, capital punishment, and homelessness, arguing that to be faithful to the gospel, Christians must become disciples of, not simply believers in, Jesus. The book arises out of McBride’s extensive experience teaching theology in a women’s prison while participating in a residential Christian activist and worshipping community. Arguing that disciples must take responsibility for the social evils that bar “beloved community,” Martin Luther King’s term for a just social order, the promised kingdom of God, McBride calls for a dual commitment to the works of mercy and the struggle for justice. This work seeks to form readers into an understanding of the social and political character of the good news proclaimed in the Gospels. Organically connecting liturgy with activism and theological reflection, McBride argues that discipleship requires that privileged Christians place their bodies in spaces of social struggle and distress to reduce the distance between themselves and those who suffer injustice, and stand in solidarity with those whom society deems guilty, despises, and rejects—which makes discipleship radical as Christians take seriously the Jesus of the Gospels.
