Book excerpt: From Nazareth to Babylon challenges us to re-evaluate our understanding of everything we know about life and the world at large.

This memoir touches almost every major aspect of the human experience—love, the family, relationship, parenting, world peace, and most provocatively, our understanding of world history and the Judeo-Christian Bible. The author recounts his journey from Nazareth to Babylon in a unique way. If there is any piece of literature worth reading during these trying times, From Nazareth to Babylon is what one needs to quench the thirst for truth and meaning.

Download or read book Postcards from Babylon The Church In American Exile written by Brian Zahnd and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The original gospel proclamation that the Lord of the nations was a crucified Galilean raised from the dead and that salvation was found in vowing allegiance to Jesus of Nazareth unleashed a shock wave that turned the Roman Empire upside down. Early Christianity was subversive and dangerous-dangerous for Christians and a threat to the keepers of the old order. Most of all Christianity was countercultural. But what about contemporary American Christianity? Is it the countercultural way of Jesus or merely a religious endorsement of Americanism? In his provocative book, Postcards From Babylon, Brian Zahnd challenges the reader to see and embrace a daring Jesus-centered Christianity that can again turn the world upside down."In a bold and daring articulation, Brian Zahnd has sketched a 'Theology of the Cross' for our time and place in the United States of the twenty-first century. He does so in a way that deeply resonates with the primal claims of evangelical theology. He sees that the Gospel is inherently and inescapably countercultural because the God of the Gospel is in particular and passionate solidarity with the 'left behind.'"--Walter Brueggemann, Columbia Theological Seminary"If I had miraculous powers, I would interrupt the programming of every religious broadcast in America, then, as Jesus replaced water with wine, I would substitute the message from Brian Zahnd that you'll read in this book. Read it and you'll see why. I recommend that you buy two copies of this book. Immediately read one-underline it and extract quotes from it to share on Facebook and Twitter, and refer to it in sermons and casual conversations. Send the other to that friend or relative who likes to talk about God and country. Include a note asking if they'd be willing to talk with you about it after they read it. Then see what happens as these Postcards from Babylon do their work in you and in others."--Brian D. McLaren, author of The Great Spiritual Migration"This love letter from a concerned pastor will enrage contemporary Pharaohs and their false prophets who blaspheme by blessing everything that Christ came to free us from. Postcards from Babylon diagnoses the diabolical and invites us to become pilgrims on Christ's narrow road that delivers us out into life."--Jarrod McKenna, pastor, founder of First Home Project for refugees in Australia

Book excerpt: The Bible can be hard to understand. To many of us, it often does seem like a crazy book. But, according to the authors of Crazy Book, the crazy book we call the Bible actually teaches us the sanity that we need. The sanity that lets us know who God is, who we are in light of God's love, and where God's love can be found and experienced. Very similar in tone and organization to Crazy Talk, the authors of Crazy Book unleash their passion, faith, and humor. This time they have their sights on the Bible and biblical terms, and they don't hold back. Here, they've elected to focus on major people, events, places, books, and types of literature in the Bible, communicating the life-giving truth of the Bible via often knock-em-dead humor.

Download or read book The Great Falling Away Volume II written by Adrian Salupo and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-07-03 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sub-titled "Anti-Christ, Babylon, and the Bride of the Lamb", Volume II of our Great Falling Away series details the three levels of faith in the world, together with their commensurate, three worldviews. These worldviews are inextricably inter-twined with mankind?s concepts of mortality, immortality, and eternity, as men exercise, or don?t exercise, their God-given faith and conscience. In revealing the precepts of a biblically-defined faith, we also unveil the nature and characteristics of anti-Christ, Babylon, and the Bride of the Lamb, the three protagonists in all of the world?s conflicts. And the world?s conflicts are coming to a crescendo, as we approach the full harvest of the first resurrection, and its attendent, soon-following, wedding feast of the Lamb in the heaven of God, soon-after followed by the establishment of the kingdom of God on earth for one thousand years, under the Kingship of Messiah Yahshua - Jesus the Christ of Nazareth/Bethlehem/Judea. "Kiss The Chosen One, unless He be angry, and you lose the way...Psalm 2:12a

Download or read book How Will It All End written by Dr. Felix J. Rolle II and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-08-09 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book tells of things which must take place. It makes known "the events of the end-times." It speaks to assure you that there is a reckoning day to come for everyone and everything. There is a Judgment Day. The book of Revelation is documentation and proof that God has set forth and declared a time of reckoning for everything under the sun. He has made this truth known so that no one can truthfully say "I didn't know!" Even though the book of Revelation is an exposure of Jesus Christ's future ministry, some have described the vast amount of extraterrestrial information contained in it in different ways. If Revelation is a forecast of universal history, then it would be frightening to deal casually with this book. However, you can find some comfort in the Scriptures, for it reveals that there is a blessing upon everyone who receives and adheres to the prophecy of this book. Keep in mind that Revelation has written to "His servants" in the various churches and not to spiritual leaders only. Therefore, remove your fears, and accept the gravity and truthfulness of Revelation so that you do not take it for granted. Blessed is he who is not offended by this publication, as the entire work is based on the written Word of God.
