Download or read book The Doctrines of Grace from the Lips of Our Lord written by Dr. J. D. Watson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-07-18 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of salvation is the watershed doctrine of Scripture. Flowing from that doctrine will be not only all other doctrine but also personal practice and Christian ministry. The major controversy concerning salvation is whether it is a result of the sovereign grace of God alone or a mixture of "God's part" and "man's part." Addressing that issue is absolutely critical to the very foundations of Christianity itself. Whichever one of those premises is correct, we should expect to find it everywhere we look in Scripture, and that is precisely what we find. There is no truth that permeates the Bible more than the doctrines of God's sovereign grace. From Genesis to Revelation, in literally hundreds of verses, these doctrines call, capture, and command our attention. Of the many books of the Bible we could choose, the Gospel of John is among the most compelling because of its foundational nature. It is there we find some of the most profound teaching on the Doctrines of Grace in all Scripture. Examining more than one hundred verses in John, this small volume presents these great biblical and historical doctrines directly from the lips of our Lord.

Book excerpt: Brothers by adoption, Charles and James were inseparable. James never resented living in his brother’s shadow; he was kinder than if they had been blood. Life was good, and nothing could come between them, until an urgent telegram brings James south where he meets the woman of his dreams. Unaware of Charles’s secret attachment to the Virginian beauty named Emmaline, James falls in love at first sight. Charles’s unexpected arrival with a three-carat wedding ring thwarts his dearest hope and places James in the impossible position as his brother’s best man. One year after Charles and Emmaline are wed, Civil War breaks out and Charles is amongst the first to enlist. Serving side by side in Gettysburg, James witnesses Charles’s death. Emmaline’s complete mental breakdown at the news may be more dreadful for James to bear than the loss of his brother. When he returns from the war and finds her in the same catatonic state he was forced to leave her in two years earlier, he is ready to take any measure to bring her back from a mental grave. At her father’s urging, he agrees to marry and escort her to England as her legal guardian. Distancing her from the ever-present reminders of the war spurs his gamble on the dubious arrangement. For his part, the chance to be near her is worth any risk, even the fear she will hate him for it. After four short weeks in England, Emmaline awakens to discover that she is married to her husband’s brother. James has had to deal with his disillusionment with life, the loss of his true love, and the death of his cherished brother. Now, with her sudden reappearance into the land of the living, he faces the greatest threat to his future happiness, Emmaline’s rejection. Emmaline confronts her own demons and is determined James should know the entire truth about her decision to marry Charles, the tragedies she faced during the war, and the guilty secret that led to her complete mental breakdown. The following twelve hours will decide both their fates.

Download or read book The First Grace written by Russell Hittinger and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2023-04-04 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last two decades or so have seen a marked resurgence of interest in natural law thought, a movement in which Russell Hittinger has been a major figure. The First Grace: Rediscovering the Natural Law in a Post-Christian World reveals the power and subtlety of Hittinger's philosophical work and cultural criticism. Whether discussing the nature of liberalism, the constitutional and moral problems posed by judicial usurpation, or the dangers of technology, Hittinger convincingly demonstrates that in our post-Christian world it is more crucial than ever that we recover older, wiser notions of the concepts of freedom and law - and that we see that to place these two concepts in opposition is to misunderstand both profoundly.

Download or read book Families Under Stress written by Tony Manocchio and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-07-24 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The family is perhaps the most important single institution in everyone’s life. What happens in such an intense group? How does it develop over time? What happens when stress is placed upon it, whether generated from inside or outside the family? Originally published in 1975, when the late Tony Manocchio was one of the leading practitioners of family therapy in Britain and Scandinavia, this title, written with his colleague William Petitt, is a lively study of communication within families, revealing the universal problems common to all. The authors demonstrate and illuminate the application of communication principles by analysing healthy and ‘unhealthy’ family systems in six major plays – The Winslow Boy, Riders to the Sea, Hamlet, A Long Day’s Journey into Night, Death of a Salesman and A Delicate Balance. As part of this analysis they examine the difficulties family members have in allowing for differences, in sharing secrets and the ease with which a whole family can scapegoat a single member. They give a number of short case histories and examples from other plays which further illustrate the importance of communicating clearly. The book will still be of value to all those interested in the uses of family therapy, and also to students of literature for the human insight it offers into the texts discussed.
