Book excerpt: In every culture and time, persons of faith, of all ages, have summoned trials and tribulations to find the endurance and strength to “dance.” They have danced with the weight of the world upon their shoulders, sustained by God and others dancing near them. Hard to Dance With the Devil On Your Back is a seven-session Lenten study that looks at the transcendent struggle in the lives of believers, while helping us to enter the continually crumbling world surrounding Jesus and the disciples in the days preceding Jesus. Appropriate for both group and individual use, the study provides one lesson for each week in Lent. Each lesson includes a Scripture reference, a brief reading, questions for reflection or discussion, a brief prayer, and a focus for the coming week.

Book excerpt: THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU..YOU ARE DIVINE PERFECTION From birth we are conditioned to hate & criticize ourselves, becoming completely lost in a society that tells us we are not enough & need to be perfect to be accepted or fit in, then ourselves judge others for not being perfect! This is why rejection hurts so much, we have been rejecting ourselves our entire lives with the way we seek love, approval & validation being through other people & external things, which are unreliable sources because people only reflect back to us, what we truly think about ourselves. This can only be healed from within, so learning to love ourselves regardless with a solid inner foundation of trust, establishing emotional stability & unconditional self-acceptance knowing we are always OK exactly as we are, is what you will learn & discover within this book. You are the only one that teaches people how to treat you & when you love yourself, setting healthy boundaries is easy because you honour your worth & know what you deserve. Our birthright natural state of being is, All is well but with non-stop brain washing, we can become enslaved to a system that tells us we don’t matter, suffering in an illusion of lack, fear & separation from ourselves & others, that creates chaos & dis-ease within our physical body or human meatsuit, locking your brain in survival mode & overthinking. With the truth of who we really are & where we came from being hidden, that reveals we matter way more than you could ever imagine. We are an angelic superhuman race that are destined to be the guardians of the multiverse with limitless co-creating abilities to manifest our own realities through words, thoughts, emotions & energy, manipulating matter with our vibrational frequencies as beings of light but first we need to master our minds. It is my sincerest hope that what I’ve learnt through my own journey is a beacon of guiding light to you, from self-hate to ultimate self-love, with your top priority always being, to become your own best friend! With a heart full of gratitude & blessings to you, Love Kylie

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zarek's Point of View: Dark-Hunter: A soulless guardian who stands between mankind and those who would see mankind destroyed. Yeah, right. The only part of that Code of Honor I got was eternity and solitude. Insanity: A condition many say I suffer from after being alone for so long. But I don't suffer from my insanity-I enjoy every minute of it. Trust: I can't trust anyone...not even myself. The only thing I trust in is my ability to do the wrong thing in any situation and to hurt anyone who gets in my way. Truth: I endured a lifetime as a Roman slave, and 900 years as an exiled Dark-Hunter. Now I'm tired of enduring. I want the truth about what happened the night I was exiled-I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Astrid (Greek, meaning star): An exceptional woman who can see straight to the truth. Brave and strong, she is a point of light in the darkness. She touches me and I tremble. She smiles and my cold heart shatters. Zarek: They say even the most damned man can be forgiven. I never believed that until the night Astrid opened her door to me and made this feral beast want to be human again. Made me want to love and be loved. But how can an ex-slave whose soul is owned by a Greek goddess ever dream of touching, let alone holding, a fiery star?

Download or read book Et Tu Judas Then Fall Jesus written by Gary Courtney and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2004-09 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About two thousand years ago, a great man who was renowned for forgiveness and magnanimity was betrayed and slain by his compatriots who feared he would become their King. To the chagrin of his murderers, he was soon hailed as a God and the momentous events that ensued paved the way for the birth of Christianity. The venue for this drama, however, was not Jerusalem as might be supposed, but rather the eternal city of Rome. It is a description of the founder of the Roman Empire. In a work stranger than fiction, Gary Courtney propounds that the Jesus of Nazareth that graces the pages of the New Testament is an entirely mythological personage, and presents a step by step explanation of how the beloved Saviour of the Christian religion entered the world from the wings of a stage.

Download or read book Dance in Scripture written by Angela Yarber and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-10-16 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dance in Scripture: How Biblical Dancers Can Revolutionize Worship Today examines the dances of seven biblical figures: Miriam, Jephthah's daughter, David, the Shulamite, Judith, Salome, and Jesus. Each figure offers a virtue that has the potential to revolutionize worship today. Yarber combines feminist and queer hermeneutics with dance history to highlight the nuances of the texts that often go unnoticed in biblical scholarship, while also celebrating the myriad ways the body can be affirmed in worship in creative, empowering, and subversive ways. Liberation, lamentation, abandon, passion, subversion, innocence, and community each contribute to the exciting ways embodied worship can be revolutionized. This is a book for those interested in biblical scholarship, dance, the arts, feminist and queer theory, or revolutionizing worship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maybe Jesus was joking, the disciples didn't know what they were doing and the New Testament is a lot funnier than you might think. You would think it weird if someone suddenly ascended into heaven, right? Reading between the lines, do we detect a touch of rivalry between Peter and John? And surely the lack of parables in the latter's mystical tome is simply crying out to be redressed . . . In this sparklingly witty book, BBC sitcom writer James Cary gives us a new and liberating way of looking at the gospel as he entertainingly relates it to a modern context, with references ranging from Charles Dickens to The Vicar of Dibley. Cheerfully playing around with the text, he takes the Bible seriously but allows us to laugh at our own petty vanities and foibles - and be enlightened in the process. The Gospel According to a Sitcom Writer is ideal for anyone wanting to liven up their Bible reading and looking for new ways to be thrilled by this sacred text. It's also perfect for priests, pastors, youth leaders and all those involved in ministry and giving sermons, as James Cary shows using comedy and humour is a brilliant way to communicate the gospel. Warm, funny and full of brilliant insight and Christian humour, The Gospel According to a Sitcom Writer will make you laugh out loud and shake your head in awe. You'll never read the Bible the same way again.
