Download or read book The Good And Evil Serpent written by James H. Charlesworth and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 742 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The serpent of ancient times was more often associated with positive attributes like healing and eternal life than it was with negative meanings. This groundbreaking book explores in plentiful detail the symbol of the serpent from 40,000 BCE to the present, and from diverse regions in the world. In doing so it emphasizes the creativity of the biblical authors' use of symbols and argues that we must today reexamine our own archetypal conceptions with comparable creativity.--From publisher description.

Download or read book The Secret Life of the Adder written by Nicholas Milton and published by White Owl. This book was released on 2022-08-09 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2019 the most comprehensive survey ever of adders was published. According to ‘Make the Adder Count’ the species will disappear from most of Britain in the next 15-20 years unless we take action now to save it. But despite being a priority conservation species under the Biodiversity Action Plan, not a single nature reserve in Britain has been specifically designated to protect it. Throughout our history we have systematically persecuted the adder over generations because it is Britain’s only venomous snake. Now the adder population is in dire straits, its rapidly declining numbers occurring on increasingly small, isolated and fragmented sites. According to Make the Adder Count 90% of the sites where it still occurs have 10 or less adult snakes and are now considered to be very vulnerable to local extinction. Despite the adder population being in dire straits, it is still not too late to save it if we act now. This book contains a 10 point adder action plan which if implemented could help to restore the adder to its former range across Britain. Using many unique photographs of the species published for the first time, it also contains a history of the adder and reveals its secret life which has made it the most successful snake in the world. With a foreword by Iolo Williams, the BBC Springwatch presenter, this book is a story of our times, one which typifies the age of extinction through which we are all living and are all responsible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I agree with you on all the points you have listed. Yet, I still need the local congregation. -anonymous The Christian Right group of Churches have been consistently losing members for the last twenty years, and do not have an inkling of the cause. They have joined with the Republicans to try and enforce their will upon society. They have failed in the last two elections as indicated by the election of Barak Obama. This of course gives rise to speculation about the root basis for their beliefs and actions. This group of people claim allegiance to the whole Bible and claim that it is Gods Word. Many people, in light of modern knowledge, are laughing at these old time beliefs. Our society is in need of a credible way of life. The Bible has the right answer, but it is mixed in with much misleading information that the Churches have used to control society. The Churches have organized in such a way as to eliminate criticism. They have assumed the office of Gods representative and members can be punished for disobeying their edicts using discrimination and loss of fellowship. The Christian Right groups have refused to study and update their antiquated standards. This book is written to encourage the first step of this change.

Book excerpt: Developing an Anti-Fragile Faith Violence against Christ-followers is increasing globally. The lived reality for many Christians involves daily threats, risks, and persecution. When evil casts its shadow on us, and we’re tempted to despair, it is vital to develop anti-fragile faith and the guts to endure in hard places. Facing Fear is a practical guide for believers who long to have bold, mature courage. Cultivating this courage is necessary to endure wisely for Christ’s sake. Anna Hampton integrates exegesis and psychology to explain how humans respond to fear and how the Holy Spirit enables us to make a different choice than our normal. Learning to face our fears, name them, and manage them requires learning specific steps to reduce their impact on us. This book is a pastoral and practical resource for those working to advance the gospel in the world’s most dangerous places. You’ll gain valuable skills to become “shrewd as a serpent” and stand with unshakable faith in unsafe situations. Risk can be an offering of worship. Jesus is worthy of whatever pain you go through, whatever loss you experience, and whatever fears you have.

Download or read book Woe to You Me written by Tyler Cecil and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-03-31 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Would you recognize Jesus today? This question evades most of us our entire lives. However, as Christians, this idea and its subsequent queries should lead our everyday lives. Emphasizing the most progressive sect of Jesus’ day—the Pharisees—this book takes the reader on a journey to uncover the political, religious, and social elements which hindered the greatest religious leaders of Jewish antiquity from seeing Jesus for who he truly was. If we cannot understand how Jesus was missed by those who claimed to love and know God more than anyone else, we are doomed to repeat the same mistakes. Through the revelations encountered in this book, the reader will be faced with facts which directly contrast what we’ve come to believe about these men. These men aren’t who we’ve been led to believe . . . not even close. In fact, the reader will be confronted with an earth-shattering ultimatum: Who do we identify with more? The Pharisees? Or Jesus? The answer to this question has the ability to transform our understanding of Jesus and how we interact with him in our everyday lives. Furthermore, the answer to this question can transform our lives to become ones marked by humility and wisdom like we never knew possible.
