Download or read book Night of the Confessor written by Tomas Halik and published by Image. This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tomáš Halík is a wise guide for the post-Christian era, and never more so than in his latest work, a thought-provoking and powerful reflection on the relationship between faith, paradox, change, and resurrection. As the challenges of cultural secularization and dwindling congregation size confront religious communities across North America and Europe, and the Catholic Church in particular, Tomáš Halík is a prophetic voice of hope. He has lived through the political oppression and intolerance of religion that defined Communist Czechoslovakia, and he draws from this experience to remind readers that not only does crisis lead to deeper understanding but also that any living religion is a changing religion. The central messages of Christianity have always seemed impossible, from peace and forgiveness in the face of a harsh world to love and self-sacrifice despite human selfishness to the victory of resurrection through the defeat of the cross. Acceptance of paradox therefore is the way forward, Halík explains. It is a difficult way that offers an unclear immediate future, but it is ultimately the only honest way.
Download or read book Night Comes written by Dale C. Allison and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When he was 23 years old, Dale Allison almost died in a car accident. That terrifying experience dramatically changed his ideas about death and the hereafter. In Night Comes Allison wrestles with a number of difficult questions concerning the last things — such questions as What happens to us after we die? and Why does death so often frighten us? Armed with his acknowledged scholarly expertise, Allison offers an engaging, personal exploration of such themes as death and fear, resurrection and judgment, hell and heaven, in light of science, Scripture, and his own experience. As he ponders and creatively imagines — engaging throughout with biblical texts, church fathers, rabbinic scholars, poets, and philosophers — Allison offers fascinating fare that will captivate many a reader’s heart and soul.
Download or read book By Night written by Reverend E. Clifford Cutler and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-01-21 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Paul’s Church in Philadelphia where most of these sermons were given is reminiscent in architecture to those old pilgrimage churches of France, with its rose window and gargoyles, flying buttress and flêche that pierces the horizon of Chestnut Hill. At one time the cross at the top of the flêche was the highest point in Philadelphia. Coming to Saint Paul’s brings one to “a place of peace for me,” as one parishioner described it that “helps me to try and work toward peace in the world.” “An omen of peace for the parish” is how our third rector described a gathering of clergy from North and South at Saint Paul’s only six months after Lincoln’s assassination. Enemies just months prior, they now stood before God at the altar of Saint Paul’s. A hundred years later in May of 1962, the parish established a memorial and planted a Red Oak on Rogation Day to honor Dag Hammarskjöld and all who died for world peace. In a night of disunity and polarization that marks the opening of a third millennium, the sermons and meditations in this book describe what is taking place beyond—a flaring together that holds the brilliant prospect of peace. This is the pilgrimage that is worth taking.
Download or read book The Lipstick Gospel Devotional written by Stephanie May Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have to stop talking about God like He's boring. The way we often talk about Him, you'd think He was a hall monitor with a clipboard, yelling things like, "No running!" "Keep your voices down!" and "Do that one more time, and you'll have detention!" It's no wonder our faith so easily grows stale, that we find ourselves religiously checking boxes and calling it a day. Now, God absolutely has ideas for how to best live our lives, and of course, that includes things He says not to do, but that's not the whole story. When we talk about God like this, we forget about all the other things He is: How powerful God is, how deeply good He is, how loving He is - He's also so much fun! God is a God of delight, and best friends, and laughing so hard you cry (or pee your pants). He's trips to the mountains, and your toes in the sand, and love beyond anything you even knew your heart could hold. He's healing, and redemption, and the best friend you could ever have. We serve an incredible, gigantic, mighty, adventurous God, and The Lipstick Gospel Devotional will help you get to know Him better. One day at a time, it'll help you get closer to the God who loves you and the beautiful life He has planned for you. Order your copy of The Lipstick Gospel Devotional today! Devotional Details: Through 90 days of scripture, story, and practical steps forward, The Lipstick Gospel Devotional will help you: - Consistently spend time with God (and feel connected to Him well beyond your morning quiet times!) - Trust the plans God has for your life (and help you figure out what those plans are!) - Step into your God-given identity (feeling truly beautiful & good enough in your skin) - Keep your faith strong in the midst of transition, uncertainty, and really hard days -Add more joy, more delight, and even more whimsy to your everyday life - And so much more...

Download or read book The Gospel of John in the Sixteenth Century written by Craig S. Farmer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997-04-10 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of Johannine exegesis in the sixteenth century covers nearly every important commentator on John from the first half of the century, and examines the medieval and patristic traditions on which they drew. But while comprehensive in its scope, this book centers on the John commentary of Wolfgang Musculus (1497- 1563), an influential leader of the Protestant Reformation in the cities of Augsburg and Bern. As a theologian and biblical scholar, he authored a large number of theological and exegetical works which remained popular well into the seventeenth century. Despite his influence, however, Musculus has been virtually ignored by modern scholarship on the Reformation.

Download or read book Gospel Wakefulness Foreword by Ray Ortlund written by Jared C. Wilson and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2011-10-06 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We may know the gospel. We may believe it—even proclaim it. But we also may assume the gospel and become lethargic. In this book Jared Wilson seeks to answer the central question, how do we experience and present the gospel in a fresh, nonroutine way in order to prevent ourselves and others from becoming numb? His answer may be surprising: "by routinely presenting the unchanging gospel in a way that does justice to its earth-shaking announcement." We don't excite and awaken people to the glorious truths of the gospel by spicing up our worship services or through cutting-edge, dramatic rhetoric, but by passionately and faithfully proclaiming the same truths we have already been given in Scripture. Wilson's book will stir churches to live out the power of the gospel with a fervent, genuine zeal. After an explanation of the term "gospel wakefulness," Wilson unpacks implications for worship, hyper-spirituality, godly habits, and sanctification, as well as other aspects of church life. Pastors, church leaders, and all in ministry, especially those who are tired or discouraged, will be uplifted, emboldened, and empowered by this book.

Download or read book Unlikely Fighter written by Greg Stier and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some memories are permanently seared into our childhood brains with a hot iron of adrenaline and fear. For five-year-old Greg, it was the memory of his ma walking back to the house after confronting his stepdad with a splintered, bloodied baseball bat in her hand. Greg Stier was raised in a family of bodybuilding, tobacco-chewing, fist-fighting thugs. He never knew his biological father because his mom had met his dad at a party; she got pregnant, and he left town. Though his mom almost aborted him, in a last-minute twist, Greg’s life was spared for so much more. Unlikely Fighter is the incredible story of how God showed up in Greg’s life—and how he can show up in yours as well. This is a memoir of violence and mayhem—and how God can transform everything.

Download or read book Hurt Healer written by Tony Nolan and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ours is a generation of brokenness. Personal and global strife has led many to question the existence of a loving God--or of a God at all. Drawing from his own story of brokenness and redemption, evangelist Tony Nolan wants to change all that. In this stirring call to walk the talk, Nolan calls on Christians to be modern-day Good Samaritans, not so they can pat themselves on the back, but so that they can model the love of Christ in a hurting world. From the foreword by Johnny Hunt: "If there was ever a generation or a time in history when people were in need of hope, it is now. This book has the potential to touch a generation not only in America but literally all over the world as we consider that the deepest need, the deepest hurt, and the deepest wounds can only be healed in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ."
Download or read book The Lost World of Scripture written by John H. Walton and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers' Choice Awards Honorable Mention Preaching's Preacher's Guide to the Best Bible Reference From John H. Walton, author of the bestselling Lost World of Genesis One, and D. Brent Sandy, author of Plowshares and Pruning Hooks, comes a detailed look at the origins of scriptural authority in ancient oral cultures and how they inform our understanding of the Old and New Testaments today. Stemming from questions about scriptural inerrancy, inspiration and oral transmission of ideas, The Lost World of Scripture examines the process by which the Bible has come to be what it is today. From the reasons why specific words were used to convey certain ideas to how oral tradition impacted the transmission of biblical texts, the authors seek to uncover how these issues might affect our current doctrine on the authority of Scripture. "In this book we are exploring ways God chose to reveal his word in light of discoveries about ancient literary culture," write Walton and Sandy. "Our specific objective is to understand better how both the Old and New Testaments were spoken, written and passed on, especially with an eye to possible implications for the Bible?s inspiration and authority." The books in the Lost World Series follow the pattern set by Bible scholar John H. Walton, bringing a fresh, close reading of the Hebrew text and knowledge of ancient Near Eastern literature to an accessible discussion of the biblical topic at hand using a series of logic-based propositions.
