Book excerpt: GOD IS A LAWYER TOO: TEN LAWS OF UNLIMITED SUCCESS by Rev. Cecilia B. Loving is a powerful story illustrating how spiritual law can be applied to the work environment or to any aspect of our lives. Even though it takes place in a legal/corporate setting, the principles of success are applicable to any profession, dream or desire. If you are trying to find a job, change your job or leave the workplace to pursue your deeper calling, this book will help you succeed. GOD IS A LAWYER TOO teaches us how to prosper through the power of success -- not merely by financial wealth but by changing our consciousness to understand and utilize the gifts that the universe blesses us with. In GOD IS A LAWYER TOO, Najih Edwards, the main character finds himself in the sweatshop of the Tabernacle, a temp agency, where he -- along with hundreds of other lawyers -- reviews millions of pages of documents. He struggles to leave and reclaim his life as a successful lawyer, which seems like an impossible dream until he meets a partner at a prestigious law firm named Dale. Dale reveals the "Ten Laws of Unlimited Success," but the question is -- who is Dale? Why is he shrouded in mystery? Where did he come from? Does he have the ability to hire Najih at his firm? What is his secret, and how will it impact Najih's fate? If you liked THE GREATEST SALESMAN IN THE WORLD, THE PROPHET, or THE ALCHEMIST, then you will definitely love GOD IS A LAWYER TOO. Patrick A. Bradford, Esq., Secretary of the Board of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. calls this "Yet another literary and liturgical success for Rev. Loving. Her third book, GOD IS A LAWYER TOO, draws on Rev. Loving's 23 years of practice as a corporate litigator and her life-long love of Christ. She is a force of nature - evidencing God's unending grace in these difficult times." Yolanda Webb, Editor-In-Chief, E'LON Couture Magazine says "Cecilia's work gives us the unlimited ability to improve the quality of what we have to offer in this life." Attorney Vaughn Browne says "Cecilia is what every mentee desires in a mentor and thankfully she had the foresight to pen this incredible blueprint to share her uncommon gift with the world for generations to come." Attorney and Life Coach Femi Austin says "GOD IS A LAWYER TOO reminds us of the integrative nature of our existence in which a deeper connection to spirit enhances every aspect of our life, including our careers and relationships."

Download or read book Jesus on Trial written by David Limbaugh and published by Regnery Publishing. This book was released on 2014-11-17 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Jesus on Trial, New York Times bestselling author David Limbaugh applies his lifetime of legal experience to a unique new undertaking: making a case for the gospels as hard evidence of the life and work of Jesus Christ. Limbaugh, a practicing attorney and former professor of law, approaches the canonical gospels with the same level of scrutiny he would apply to any legal document and asks all the necessary questions about the story of Jesus told through Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. His analysis of the texts becomes profoundly personal as he reflects on his own spiritual and intellectual odyssey from determined skeptic to devout Christian. Ultimately, Limbaugh concludes that the words Christians have treasured for centuries stand up to his exhaustive enquiry—including his examination of historical and religious evidence beyond the gospels—and thereby affirms Christian faith, spirituality, and tradition.

Download or read book Law and the Bible written by Robert F. Cochran and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2013-09-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is full of law. Yet too often, Christians either pick and choose verses out of context to bolster existing positions, or assume that any moral judgment the Bible expresses should become the law of the land. Law and the Bible asks: What inspired light does the Bible shed on Christians’ participation in contemporary legal systems? It concludes that more often than not the Bible overturns our faulty assumptions and skewed commitments rather than bolsters them. In the process, God gives us greater insight into what all of life, including law, should be. Each chapter is cowritten by a legal professional and a theologian, and focuses on a key aspect of the biblical witness concerning civil or positive law--that is, law that human societies create to order their communities, implementing and enforcing it through civil government. A foundational text for legal professionals, law and prelaw students, and all who want to think in a faithfully Christian way about law and their relationship to it.

Download or read book God vs the Gavel written by Marci A. Hamilton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-05-30 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God vs. the Gavel challenges the pervasive assumption that all religious conduct deserves constitutional protection. While religious conduct provides many benefits to society, it is not always benign. The thesis of the book is that anyone who harms another person should be governed by the laws that govern everyone else - and truth be told, religion is capable of great harm. This may not sound like a radical proposition, but it has been under assault since the 1960s. The majority of academics and many religious organizations would construct a fortress around religious conduct that would make it extremely difficult to prosecute child abuse by clergy, medical neglect of children by faith-healers, and other socially unacceptable behaviors. This book intends to change the course of the public debate over religion by bringing to the public's attention the tactics of religious entities to avoid the law and therefore harm others.

Download or read book Jesus in the Courtroom written by John W. Mauck, JD and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2017-07-04 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever thought of Jesus as a lawyer? It may sound odd, but at times in His ministry, Jesus wore his lawyer hat. When he defended the adulterous woman, when he argued from Scripture that the disciples were fine to pick grain on the Sabbath, and in other instances, Jesus insightfully applied to uphold justice and promote goodwill. The legal aspects of Jesus’ ministry have long been obscured or misunderstood, particularly his interactions with and attitude toward the law and lawyers. Jesus’ desire in his day and ours is to use the law to secure the rights of people to hear the gospel and to set humanity free. In other words, to be the best citizens we can be, we need to follow in the footsteps of the greatest citizen who ever lived. Jesus in the Courtroom covers topics like: Why we should care about the law Strategic involvement with the law How God has used the law to expand His kingdom What can happen when we partner with legal professionals How citizenship is part of discipleship Christian citizenship in matters like adoption, abortion, minimum wage, foster care, and schools We are citizens of two kingdoms, but many of us duck and run when it comes to civil life. For anyone who cares about their community—parents, teachers, pastors, you name it—engagement with our legal system can play a huge role in the health of our communities and in cultivating a context where the gospel can flourish. Jesus in the Courtroom will help us understand not only why we have failed to appreciate the legal aspect of Jesus’ life, but also to understand and cooperate with his legal ministry to us and through us. If we are going to be faithful “citizen disciples” in this challenging new world, we need to look anew at how Jesus taught, thought, and interacted with the legal establishment of his day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I should be dead. Buried in an unmarked grave in Romania. Obviously, I am not. God had other plans." At just under five feet tall, Virginia Prodan was no match for the towering 6' 10" gun-wielding assassin the Romanian government sent to her office to take her life. It was not the first time her life had been threatened--nor would it be the last. As a young attorney under Nicolae Ceausescu's brutal communist regime, Virginia had spent her entire life searching for the truth. When she finally found it in the pages of the most forbidden book in all of Romania, Virginia accepted the divine call to defend fellow followers of Christ against unjust persecution in an otherwise ungodly land. For this act of treason, she was kidnapped, beaten, tortured, placed under house arrest, and came within seconds of being executed under the orders of Ceausescu himself. How Virginia not only managed to elude her enemies time and again, but how she also helped expose the appalling secret that would ultimately lead to the demise of Ceausescu's evil empire is one of the most extraordinary stories ever told. A must-read for all generations, Saving My Assassin is the unforgettable account of one woman's search for truth, her defiance in the face of evil, and a surprise encounter that proves without a shadow of a doubt that nothing is impossible with God.

Download or read book Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God written by Brian Zahnd and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastor Brian Zahnd began "to question the theology of a wrathful God who delights in punishing sinners, and has started to explore the real nature of Jesus and His Father. The book isn’t only an interesting look at the context of some modern theological ideas; it’s also offers some profound insight into God’s love and eternal plan." —Relevant Magazine (Named one of the Top 10 Books of 2017) God is wrath? Or God is Love? In his famous sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” Puritan revivalist Jonathan Edwards shaped predominating American theology with a vision of God as angry, violent, and retributive. Three centuries later, Brian Zahnd was both mesmerized and terrified by Edwards’s wrathful God. Haunted by fear that crippled his relationship with God, Zahnd spent years praying for a divine experience of hell. What Zahnd experienced instead was the Father’s love—revealed perfectly through Jesus Christ—for all prodigal sons and daughters. In Sinners in the Hands of a Loving God, Zahnd asks important questions like: Is seeing God primarily as wrathful towards sinners true or biblical? Is fearing God a normal expected behavior? And where might the natural implications of this theological framework lead us? Thoughtfully wrestling with subjects like Old Testament genocide, the crucifixion of Jesus, eternal punishment in hell, and the final judgment in Revelation, Zanhd maintains that the summit of divine revelation for sinners is not God is wrath, but God is love.

Download or read book Take Up the Shield written by Tony Miano and published by . This book was released on 2005-05-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a street cop, this unique publication compares the various pieces of law enforcement equipment to the spiritual armor that the Bible describes in Ephesians chapter 6. The importance of each piece of equipment is driven home through engaging, real-life police stories (responding to the infamous L.A. Riots, the devastating 1994 Northridge earthquake, working in jails, making arrests, and more). Although much has been written about this well-known passage of Scripture, little has been written from the perspective of a Christian who wears and uses the physical armor of the police officer every day, fighting both the physical battle against crime in our society and the spiritual battle against evil that all individuals are called to fight. You don't have to be a cop or a Christian to be encouraged and challenged by this book. In addition to building your faith, this book will serve as a helpful introduction to the men and women who protect you and your community.
