Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is contemporary art a friend or foe of Christianity? Art historian, critic, and curator Daniel Siedell, addresses this question and presents a framework for interpreting art from a Christian worldview in God in the Gallery: A Christian Embrace of Modern Art. As such, it is an excellent companion to Francis Schaeffer's classic Art and the Bible.

In post-Arthurian Britain, the wars that once raged between the Saxons and the Britons have finally ceased. Axl and Beatrice, an elderly British couple, set off to visit their son, whom they haven't seen in years. And, because a strange mist has caused mass amnesia throughout the land, they can scarcely remember anything about him. As they are joined on their journey by a Saxon warrior, his orphan charge, and an illustrious knight, Axl and Beatrice slowly begin to remember the dark and troubled past they all share. By turns savage, suspenseful, and intensely moving, The Buried Giant is a luminous meditation on the act of forgetting and the power of memory.

But just like David, you can face your giant, even if you aren't the strongest, the smartest, the best equipped, of the holiest. Focus on giants--you stumble; focus on God--your giants tumble. If you're ready to face your giants, let his story inspire you. The same God who helped him will help you.

Download or read book Faith Hope and Love Devotional written by Sherry Burnette and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”—1 Corinthians 13:13 Walking by faith and not by sight, Bobby and Sherry Burnette serve as full-time missionaries in Haiti, ministering to the poorest of the poor, spreading the Word of God, and showing Christ’s love by example. They feed the hungry, clothe the naked, shelter the homeless, and heal the sick. It has always been a joy, but it hasn’t always been easy. They wake up early each day—usually 4:00 a.m.—to spend time together in prayer and reading God’s Word. Many of the thoughts in this book, Faith, Hope, and Love Devotional: A 90-Day Walk with God, came out of what God taught them during this precious time. Others came later in the day, when God brought back to their hearts and minds the insights He had revealed in the early morning hours. Faith, hope, and love are the three spiritual elements we need in our lives every day. While the lessons Bobby and Sherry present were learned on the mission field, they are true for everyone, everywhere. This is the nature of God’s truth. It works in Haiti, and it will work for you, wherever you are in the world. In this devotional, the Burnettes share their struggles and their triumphs, all the while rejoicing that the Lord is always faithful to His promise to help them as they help others in this land of mountains and beauty, poverty and voodoo. Join them in ninety days of prayer and Scripture readings as they share touching and humorous stories from their lives and the gospel.
