Download or read book Radical written by David Platt and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

Download or read book The Beauty of the Lord written by Jonathan King and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is God's beauty often absent from our theology? Rarely do theologians take up the theme of God's beauty—even more rarely do they consider how God's beauty should shape the task of theology itself. But the psalmist says that the heart of the believer's desire is to behold the beauty of the Lord. In The Beauty of the Lord, Jonathan King restores aesthetics as not merely a valid lens for theological reflection, but an essential one. Jesus, our incarnate Redeemer, displays the Triune God's beauty in his actions and person, from creation to final consummation. How can and should theology better reflect this unveiled beauty? The Beauty of the Lord is a renewal of a truly aesthetic theology and a properly theological aesthetics.
Download or read book Seeing and savouring Jesus Christ written by JOHN PIPER and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met Him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ - the divine Person revealed in the Bible - has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, He will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do His will, and you will see the truth of His Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.

Download or read book When God Takes Away written by Mark Steinberg, and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neal Randall Steinberg was born on August 28, 1986. He died on May 26, 2013. This is the story of his life, as told by his father, Dr. Mark Steinberg. As seen through his father's eyes, Neal's story is filled with joy and accomplishments, pride and deep love, sorrow and tragedy. The worth of a life is not measured by its longevity, for we all pass away like flowers in a field. And death ends a physical life, not a relationship. When God Takes Away tells the touching story of Neal Steinberg-his brilliance and loneliness, his family and those to whom he mattered, his development as a young star with so much promise, and, ultimately his decline into drug addiction. It is the story of a father's profound love for his son, the close bond they shared despite conflicts, and the helplessness of losing a child. More than the personal story of a family and its tragedies, When God Takes Away is a handbook for living with the realities of loss, a universal experience that everyone must endure. Revealing the depth of his personal despair and speaking from his decades of professional experience as a clinical neuropsychologist, Dr. Steinberg candidly discloses how loss affects our most core emotional and spiritual foundations. He bares his soul to connect with the reader's soul and share how losses reflect our capacities to attach emotionally with other beings and how to let go when it is time to do so. When God Takes Away is a compassionate and uplifting guide to dealing with the inevitability of loss and its integration into what really matters in your life. Steinberg tackles the difficult issues of mortality and relationship loss, as well as the seldom addressed realities of losing body functions, possessions, opportunities, and innocence. How each of us accepts and copes with loss reflects a developmental underpinning of how we learned to form emotional attachments and how we deal with trauma. Steinberg explores these truths with meaningful and practical explanations, bridging the psychological impact of loss with emotional comfort and coping tools. Living is intertwined with losing. How can we face loss without succumbing to weakness, hopelessness, and a losing attitude? When God Takes Away is a beacon in the darkness. This book shows how to cultivate and exercise determination, perseverance, and hope while maintaining an identity and security that neither resides in nor depends upon the gifts and possessions that are, in reality, temporary. If you are ready to give up your hurt and the stubbornness of sorrow, this book will light the path toward living with loss and surrender.
