Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the farm there was a pigsty with a barbed wire fence surrounding it. Ernie climbed inside. When a sow charged him, he retreated and cut himself as he ducked under the barbed wire. With blood all over his eye, his mom took him to the nearest medical facility, which was a tuberculosis sanitarium. A doctor there saw the injury was to the eyelid, not the eye. He sewed up the eyelid leaving a small scar. So Ernie was one of the few people in the world who was an outpatient at a tuberculosis sanitarium. It was a busy year for Ernies guardian angel.
Download or read book Yours the Power written by Katie Day and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2013-01-23 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite shifts in the religious landscape in North America--reflected in the significant increase in those with no religious affiliation and emptier pews across the religious spectrum--there has also been a rise in participation in faith-based grassroots organizations. People of faith are increasingly joining broad-based organizing efforts to seek social change in their communities, regions and country. This unique volume brings together the most current thinking on faith-based organizing from the perspective of theologians, social researchers and practitioners. The current state of faith based organizing is critically presented, as it has evolved from its roots in the mid-twentieth century into a context which raises new questions for its philosophical assumptions, methodology, and very future. This volume serves as a timely resource for those inside the academy as well as religious and organizational leaders wanting to understand and promote faith-based organizing in North America and beyond. Originally published as issue 4 of Volume 6 (2012) of Brill's "International Journal of Public Theology."

Download or read book THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY BACK written by Keith Tipple and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-02-09 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether you have wandered away and lost faith or never embraced real faith in Jesus Christ, this book will bring you new hope. Perhaps, on the other hand, you are praying for loved ones and friends to return or come to faith, this book will inspire you to believe in the god who answers prayer and that "there is always a way back." The casualties of life are everywhere, and deceptions are numerous. Many look back on wrong decisions, hurts, and broken relationships, and the scars and guilt from such things are etched into their hearts, leaving them with regrets that may have haunted them for years. The pull of a world system constantly seeks to take people as far away from God as possible and then leaves them wondering if there is any way back to real faith, peace, and hope. This book will bring you face-to-face with the truth that no matter what has transpired in your life, "there is always a way back." My challenge to you is to be prepared to take the journey this book sets before you and to seriously consider the truth Jesus taught as he told a simple story one day in order to illustrate the heart of his loving heavenly Father who is full of grace and truth and is always waiting to welcome home those who have wandered away. Whatever has transpired in your journey of life, no one is too far away that the grace and forgiveness of God cannot reach and restore. It's time to come home. Your heavenly Father is waiting, and everything is prepared because "there is always a way back." At the back of this book is the added bonus of questions for discussion on each of the nineteen chapters, which can be used in small groups. May you be blessed and encouraged as you read There Is Always a Way Back.
Download or read book The Book of Ebenezer le Page written by G.B. Edwards and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2012-03-07 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ebenezer Le Page, cantankerous, opinionated, and charming, is one of the most compelling literary creations of the late twentieth century. Eighty years old, Ebenezer has lived his whole life on the Channel Island of Guernsey, a stony speck of a place caught between the coasts of England and France yet a world apart from either. Ebenezer himself is fiercely independent, but as he reaches the end of his life he is determined to tell his own story and the stories of those he has known. He writes of family secrets and feuds, unforgettable friendships and friendships betrayed, love glimpsed and lost. The Book of Ebenezer Le Page is a beautifully detailed chronicle of a life, but it is equally an oblique reckoning with the traumas of the twentieth century, as Ebenezer recalls both the men lost to the Great War and the German Occupation of Guernsey during World War II, and looks with despair at the encroachments of commerce and tourism on his beloved island. G. B. Edwards labored in obscurity all his life and completed The Book of Ebenezer Le Page shortly before his death. Published posthumously, the book is a triumph of the storyteller’s art that conjures up the extraordinary voice of a living man.

Download or read book Looking in the Other Direction written by Teun van der Leer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-22 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, Teun van der Leer tells the story of the Believers’ Church Tradition, a tradition, mainly rooted in the so-called Radical Reformation, which prefers to be called a movement, or rather a renewal movement. Its name is a program, a vision, and a way of being church. Based on extensive source research, this book describes and analyzes the defining characteristics of this so-called “third type of church” and investigates its ecumenical value. With an extensive description of its nature of faith, the church, hermeneutical discernment, and mission, this book colors a movement within the church landscape that has never been mapped in such detail before. As such, the book provides an in-depth introduction to this ecumenically important but still a bit underexposed movement and makes a substantial contribution to the ecumenical ecclesiological debate about the church and its future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voices of Protest: Liberia on the Edge, 1974-1980 is a compilation of writings and speeches of Liberians who were in the forefront of the struggle for democratic change in their country during the period leading up to the military coup of 1980 that changed the course of Africa's oldest Republic. The writings and speeches show the sentiments of the people as they confronted a ruling group which had held power for over a century and was unwilling to carry out meaningful transformation that would meet the aspirations of the majority of the citizens. These writings and speeches are historical source materials that will give another perspective to the political agitation that sought an alternative to the stagnation in the country before the military intervened to stop the democratic momentum.
