Book excerpt: THE YEARNING OF YAHVEH In terms of man's morality, the Old Testament is an account of tragic failure. Israel strayed repeatedly from the path mapped out by God, and He corrected them repeatedly with tough-love discipline. From the viewpoint of God's love, the Old Testament is a journal of immense compassion. Despite Israel's failures, God kept yearning for their genuine trust and love. He refused to give up on them and called them back by His prophets who relentlessly declared, "Thus says the LORD." The LORD is a translation of the Hebrew name Yahveh, God's personal name He revealed to Moses at the burning bush. The Yearning of Yahveh takes the reader on an exciting one-page-per-day journey through the Old Testament. Join the tour and discover the gospel in the scrolls of Hebrew Scripture.

Download or read book Mom 3MD written by Rose A. Hunt and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2015-04-14 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A quiet six-year-old girl, brought to America in 1955, was welcomed into the loving home of family members who adopted her as their own cherished daughter. Raised by a gentle, strong father and beautiful, elegant mother, Rose learned through discipline, guidance, and unconditional love what it meant to seek God, strive for excellence in all things, and respect others without compromising oneself. Upon this foundation would she build the rest of her life in spite of the storms that would soon test her. As a young woman, Rose was no stranger to grief: at the age of nine, she lost her beloved father to illness. And so it was that when she met and married her soul mate, Gabriel, she rejoiced in the profound and abundant blessing that was marriage and family, only to face devastating loss once again a few years later when the love of her life was diagnosed with leukemia. Upon becoming a widow before she was thirty years old, the young mother was charged with raising her three children alone. Though she was stricken with grief, she set her mind and spirit upon the task she had promised her husband to see through: to raise and equip their children with the love, integrity, and education that he himself so valued and had dreamed of imparting. This is the memoir of the young woman who exemplified values by which she would raise her children—values that are as relevant today as they were forty years ago. In spite of loss, grief, loneliness, frustration, and discrimination, her convictions and steadfast faith would reap great rewards, leading her to rejoice in the fruit of her labor while building a legacy that will continue for generations.

Download or read book Elite written by Adam D. Metz and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-10-23 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond an occasional sports-inspired sermon illustration, sports are generally regarded as having little relevance to the Christian faith. More often, they are viewed as a welcome and safe reprieve from politics and religion. Quietly, however, as they avoid the discerning eye of the church, sports are slowly overtaking families and overwhelming parents. Under the labels "elite," "select," and "travel," a new experience of sports has taken root in American culture demanding financial burdens, time commitments, and heightened pressures never before seen. Community leaders from various public sectors have criticized many recent trends in youth sports, but, alas, where has the church been? This new "elite" expression of youth sports is quickly building an intimidating front against the church. As church attendance declines, "elite" youth sports participation is on the rise. This book ventures into the challenging, controversial, and powerful world of youth sports. Young people participate in sports more than just about any other activity, and the church has neglected its role in providing a voice of discernment for what participating in sports should look like. Christians are desperately in need of a manifesto for helping them wrestle with the complex, exciting, and often exhausting world of youth sports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'The Games People Play', Robert Ellis constructs a theology around the global cultural phenomenon of modern sport, paying particular attention to its British and American manifestations. Using historical narrative and social analysis to enter thedebate on sport as religion, Ellis shows that modern sport may be said to have taken on some of the functions previously vested in organized religion. Through biblical and theological reflection, he presents a practical theology of sport's appeal and value, with special attention to the theological concept of transcendence. Throughout, he draws on original empirical work with sports participants and spectators.'The Games People Play' addresses issues often considered problematic in theological discussions of sport such as gender, race, consumerism, and the role of the modern media, as well as problems associated with excessive competition and performance-enhancing substances.

Download or read book Urban Legends of Theology written by Michael E. Wittmer and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2023-05-01 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban Legends of Theology surveys 40 of the most common misunderstandings of Christian doctrine. Some of the urban legends are cultural truisms that turn out not to be true; others are misconceptions of what the Bible and Christian tradition actually teach. Author and theologian Michael Wittmer writes in an engaging and incisive manner, probing beliefs nearly every churchgoer has heard at one time or another, such as: The Bible is our only authority All sin is the same before God God won’t give you more than you can handle Christianity is not a religion; it’s a relationship We are the hands and feet of Jesus Urban Legends of Theology corrects these misconceptions and offers a better alternative in each one’s place, guiding readers into the full riches and freedom of Christian theology rightly understood.
Download or read book The Seed and the Soil written by Pauline Hoggarth and published by Langham Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-27 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Seed and the Soil explores the power of the Bible that brings about God’s transforming and liberating purposes, as well as its power as an often oppressively misused text. Characterised by a wide variety of storytelling, this book is accessible to all that read it. What People are saying about the book! Reading Pauline Hoggarth's book, one is aware that everything she writes is deeply rooted in her own life of engagement with Scripture and in her wide experience of the Bible's impact in many different cultural contexts. She is refreshingly open about both the difficulties many people have in engaging with Scripture and the difficulties Scripture itself presents. Richard Bauckham Emeritus Professor of New Testament Studies, University of St Andrews My shelves are full of books about reading the Bible, but Pauline’s new book is outstanding. It is fresh and thoughtful, grounded in personal reality and clearly the fruit of a lifetime of international ministry and friendship, and deep engagement with God’s Word. To those beginning with the Bible, Pauline passes on a wealth of practical insights, and more seasoned readers will be challenged to think more widely and more wisely. Revd Jenny Petersen Faith at QMUL [This] is a more than worthy addition to our bulging library. However, this isn’t a comfortable, intellectually stimulating book about the background to the Bible or some arcane aspect of biblical theology; it is a challenging book about engaging with Scripture . . . If someone were to ask me to recommend books to help them with reading the Bible, I would have no hesitation in suggesting How to Read the Bible for All Its Worth for help in understanding the text of the Bible and The Seed and the Soil: Engaging with the Word of God as a help in letting the Bible get under your skin and transform your thinking and actions. Eddie Arthur Kouya.net Speaking with a depth of pastoral sensitivity and cultural insight, this immensely powerful book is grounded with an understanding of the difficulties encountered by many Christians reading the Bible today. The writer's passion to help others identify and overcome their own challenges includes questions for personal reflection. Amy Roche CMS Mission Partner and Research Student at Durham University
Download or read book The Menmenet Series written by Robert J. Muller and published by Poesys Associates. This book was released on 2023-01-11 with total page 1168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Murder, money, mystery, and metaphysics come together in a collection of riveting alternative-history thrillers. The Menmenet mysteries take place in a very different San Francisco colonized by the Egyptian Empire. A city of fog, temples, and mystery, Menmenet and the country of which it is the capital, the Ta'an-Imenty Republic, sit in an uneasy tension with the First Peoples' nations and the United States to the East. They get along well enough with the Aztec Republic to the south, but the Russians from Russkaya Amerika to the north are a constant source of trouble. Shesmu za-Akhen is a celebrity chef in Menmenet. Hutyt-er-Semetyu Cheryl MacIntyre is an emigrant from Boston in the United States trying to make her way in the homicide squad of the Menmenet medjau, the enforcers of ma'at. The trilogy of novels in the Menmenet Series tells their story. The Jackal of Inpu tells the story of how Shesmu and MacIntyre met, a romantic mystery full of murder and misplaced religiosity. In the second novel, The Lion of Bastet, the lovers follow the money amidst Aztec and Russian gangsters and temple priests dead set against them. The novel combines romance, police procedure, and religious conflict in a murder mystery that comes to a stunning conclusion. The third novel, The Bull of Mentju, takes Shesmu and MacIntyre far out of their comfort zones. Shesmu confronts the mystery of his missing father in the high mountains to the east, encountering First Peoples shamans and their gods, while MacIntyre confronts a more prosaic problem: the United States is mounting a secret attempt to take over the small country with genocidal intent. Ancient gods and modern armies clash in this military and political thriller. Enjoy all three novels in this box set of alternate history mysteries.
