Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There is a story from the Kalahari Bushmen about creation. Mantis, the primal preying-mantis, is the spirit of creation. His supreme creation was the Eland. But Mantis' children watched him secretly, and one day when he was away they killed the Eland and ate him. Mantis was desolate. He went to the scene of the killing and there he found on a bush the indigestible gall of the Eland. He told the gall that he would jump on it and pierce it through. The gall answered that if he did, it would burst open and cover him. Mantis was tempted to go away after his children. He resisted the temptation, leaped upon the gall, pierced it through and was swamped in bitter darkness. Here as he groped unseeing his grip suddenly lighted upon an ostrich feather. He used this to wipe the gall from his face, and flung the feather into the sky to be the moon." How would you interpret this story' John Ferguson uses this creation myth and others like it to introduce us to countless expressions of religious faith in places as diverse as Africa, Asia, Australasia and America. Many who find it difficult even to think of 'gods many and lords many' will still want to try to understand, and this book - with its thoughtful and challenging question-and-discussion structure - will provide many valuable insights into primal religious thought.
Download or read book No More Faking Fine written by Esther Fleece Allen and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.

Book excerpt: Explore this stunning quality of God’s grace: It never ends! In this revision of a foundational work, John Piper reveals how grace is not only God’s undeserved gift to us in the past, but also God’s power to make good happen for us today, tomorrow, and forever. True life for the follower of Jesus really is a moment-by-moment trust that God is dependable and fulfills his promises. This is living by faith in future grace, which provides God's mercy, provision, and wisdom—everything we need—to accomplish his good plans for us. In Future Grace, chapter by chapter—one for each day of the month—Piper reveals how cherishing the promises of God helps break the power of persistent sin issues like anxiety, despondency, greed, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more. Ultimate joy, peace, and hope in life and death are found in a confident, continual awareness of the reality of future grace.
