Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hiddenness of God addresses the problem of divine hiddenness which concerns the ambiguity of evidence for God's existence, the elusiveness of God's comforting presence, the palpable and devastating experience of divine absence and abandonment, and more; phenomena which are hard to reconcile with the idea, central to the Jewish and Christian scriptures, that there exists a God who is deeply and lovingly concerned with the lives of humans. Michael C. Rea argues that divine hiddenness is not a problem to be explained away but rather a consequence of the nature of God himself. He shows that it rests on unwarranted assumptions and expectations about God's love for human beings. Rea explains how scripture and tradition bear testimony not only to God's love, but to God's transcendence. He shows that God's transcendence should be understood as implying that all of God's intrinsic attributes—divine love included—elude our grasp in significant ways.

Book excerpt: If they found and destroyed the Scroll they would bring down all civilisation. Would the sacrifice of one man’s life save humanity? Five years after the Great Fire of Lundun, ex-dragoon Laqua is lured into helping the Keepers of the Light, a covert band fighting the equally clandestine Cult of the Death of Hope. The Cult would bring down the empire of the Moors and, indeed, all civilisation. An empire that has conquered most of Europe, where the language is Arabic and the flag of the falcate moon flies. Where alcohol is banned and hashish legal, prison is unknown and punishment by whip, knife or hook. A world in which the Industrial Revolution is already well advanced and steam engines chug. Where the Norse have settled the New World first. In Lundun, capital of the Tin Isles, the largest mosque looms over St Pauls Cathedral. And Samuel Peppin has given up his diaries to write bawdy poems. Vital to defeating the Cult is an ancient secret Scroll, the final chapter of the sacred Script, its authenticity assured by the Seal. While the Cult would destroy it, the Keepers intend its dissemination to all. Until they have the means to do so, Laqua is charged with its safekeeping. He falls in with a dour eunuch, a functionary of the Court of the Amir in Qurtuba, and a perfidious, possibly drug-addled, heretic. And what part might a libidinous Norsewoman play? Ahead of him lie spying, fighting, loving, torture and tragedy … and the discovery of a hideous truth. As Ants to the Gods is an alternate history adventure that challenges some of the orthodoxies and assumptions of Western culture. For adults only, certainly not for the faint-hearted or easily shocked, it is a ribald and irreverent exploration of a world that could have been.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the vast and intricate world of creation, God has embedded profound lessons within the smallest of creatures, urging us to look beyond the obvious and consider the wisdom of the ant. In "Consider The Ant - God's Tiny Preachers," we look into the remarkable world of ants, those tiny but powerful teachers, whose lives reflect spiritual truths that can profoundly impact our walk with God. Proverbs 6:6 beckons us to "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: " a call to observe and emulate the diligence, unity, and perseverance exemplified by these seemingly insignificant insects. Each type of ant, from the tireless worker to the vigilant soldier, reveals a facet of the Christian life, offering us insights into how we can better serve, protect, and and lead. The worker ant, with its relentless dedication to gathering food and caring for the colony, mirrors the Christian's call to service, reminding us that no task in God's kingdom is too small or insignificant. The soldier ant, ever on guard to defend the colony, symbolizes the Christian's role in spiritual warfare, standing firm in the faith and safeguarding the truths of the gospel. Meanwhile, the queen ant, the heart of the colony, quietly embodies leadership and purpose, reflecting the importance of fulfilling our God-given roles with grace and dedication. Finally, the ant colony as a whole serves as a powerful metaphor for the local church, where each member, no matter how small, contributes to honoring the Lord, creating a thriving, harmonious body that mirrors the unity and effectiveness God desires for His church. As we explore these tiny preachers throughout this book, may we be inspired to embrace the lessons they offer, applying them to our lives so that we, too, may walk in wisdom, diligence, and unity, fulfilling our divine purpose in the grand design of God's kingdom.

Download or read book Consider the Ant written by Bill Blair and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The church must learn from the ant that Christians cannot be spectators. We are to be transforming the world!" A Christian book for small groups and individuals. Based on Proverbs 6:6-8 "Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest." Each chapter of Consider the Ant focuses on the incredible attributes of ants which offer a surprisingly great model of Christian greatness. Because of their willingness to submit and sacrifice for the good of the whole and because of their drive to self-initiate, ants are highly successful. In fact, their body mass equals that of total human body mass in the world. When local churches learn from ants, we will thrive as well. Pastors and small group leaders will find this book to be an indispensable asset in developing a community of Christ-like disciples who are quick to serve, anxious to reproduce, and sure to grow. Consider the Ant contains 10 chapters with small group discussion questions at the end of each chapter. While it is structured to easily use the first six chapters during Lent and the last four chapters after Easter, it can be used at any time of the year. Practical suggestions for building teams, empowering people and growing the church community and its outreach are given throughout each chapter. "I wrote this book because I want you, your family and your friends to know how much God loves all of us. Though our Creator directs our lives best in Scripture, we are given heaven's light in other ways. God created these ants, and they can teach us wisdom in so many ways. I hope when we see their dedication to others, we might be imitators of their best attributes-and always imitators of Christ." Whether you are building a team spirit or wishing that your group or church were better at multiplying, this book is for you.
