Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jerry Kalb grew up on a farm near Bucyrus, Ohio, in rural Crawford County. Although his lack of affinity for all things agricultural led him away from the farm, his rural upbringing influenced his down-to-earth, informal approach to ministry. Part 1 of this book offers condensed "nuggets" of sermons preached over a two- to three-year period at the Painesville United Methodist Church, where Rev. Kalb has pastored during the past two decades. In part 2 readers will find some of his "One Minute Messages" broadcast daily over local radio station WKKY FM 104.7. Topics range from a personal relationship with God to family life, the fellowship of believers, and outreach in the greater community. Rev. Kalb's style is conversational and accessible, sprinkled with humor and everyday anecdotes. His positive, inspirational thoughts point to a God who is above all loving and forgiving and who welcomes all people. He has often told the congregation, "If you only remember one thing I've ever said, always remember that God loves you."

Download or read book God Is Not a Boy s Name written by Lyn Brakeman and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lyn Brakeman was among the first women to enter the ordination process in the Episcopal Church just after the General Convention voted in 1976 that women could be priests. The bishop of her diocese had voted against ordaining women priests and hospitality towards female aspirants was guarded at best. So why would a forty-year-old institutional naif, suburban housewife, and mother of four enter such unfriendly territory to seek priestly ordination at a time when her personal life was in chaos? Things would have been easier had she been a man and had she not read Betty Friedan, not been headed for divorce, and not engaged in sins beginning with "a." How did she manage to stay this course? Brakeman offers no easy answers but tackles difficult issues--addiction, death and grief, divorce, the nature of priesthood, church politics, Christian feminism, and Jesus the Christ--with candor. Her story is held together by her spiritual connection to the voice of God from within and her growing conviction that the nature of divinity is gender-free; hence, theological language in sanctuary and classroom must reflect this truth in a balanced way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you know by the time you were four or five years old, that you are a blessed child of God, that because you belong to Him you have been endowed with rights nobody can ever take away? Did you learn during your early childhood years that not only does God value you unconditionally, but that He also loves every other human being just as much? In this book, Iris Pearce, one of the cofounders of the School of Spirituality of the Dallas-Fort-Worth Episcopal Diocese, counselor, and spiritual director for many years, now opens her tender heart to us by sharing stories about her childhood. These are the experiences of Iris' life, long before she studied the lives of spiritual teachers and directors, and before she developed any of her teaching materials that have so enriched those who have been blessed to know her and learn from her. She shares these experiences with her typical wit and humor, describing what her Mama and Papa did, what they said to her, even how their faces looked at times as they talked to her, and how they each uniquely demonstrated God's truth, goodness and love. Mama was a staunch Catholic and Papa was a Methodist. Instead of expecting their differences to cause problems, Iris' parents approached life armed with God's love, which truly does overcome a multitude of imperfections.
