Download or read book Six Sherds written by John Lawson and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2024-09-13 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The six ‘sherds’ contained here – whether fragments of a novel, or short stories, or what you will – cover a good deal of ground, from a highly apocryphal tale of an errant young Jesus to a tattooist’s caper in Polynesia, stopping off in Renaissance Venice and England at the time of Queen Elizabeth I (with the Royal personage herself making a revealing appearance). These disparate pieces are united by the eternal pursuits of love, desire and the quest for a higher power, all wrapped up in the author’s highly individual prose style, which contrives to be at once cynical and Olympian. ‘From the stables and pastures of Andrew Motion, the late Max Harris, David K. Wong, and Sid Stebel, comes the author, so shall ye read.’ – John Lawson

Download or read book The Triune Story written by Robert W. Jenson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of his death in the autumn of 2017, Robert W. Jenson was arguably America's foremost theologian. Over the course of a career spanning more than five decades, much of Jenson's thought was dedicated to the theological description of how Scripture should be read-what has come to be called theological interpretation. In this rapidly expanding field of scholarship, Jenson has had an inordinate impact. Despite its importance, study of Jenson's theology of scriptural interpretation has lagged, due in large part to the longevity of his career and volume of his output. In this book, all of Jenson's writings on Scripture and its interpretation have been collected for the first time. Here readers will be able to see the evolution of Jenson's thought on this topic, as well as the scope and intensity of his late-period engagement with it. Where other twentieth-century thinkers rely on non-theological, secular methods of scriptural investigation, Jenson is willing to let go of "respectability" for the sake of a truly Christian theological interpretation. The result is a genuinely free, intellectually invigorating exercise in reading and theory from one of the greatest theologians in the last century.

Book excerpt: Way of Life: Not Religion is a book about freedom. It explains how we might get hung up in bondage without realizing it. Then we wont enjoy the happiness, contentment, and peace that were meant for us. Sometimes man uses the rituals and rules of religion instead of searching for the truth. (Satan loves this.) This freedom that I have makes me smile a lot. Im sure people wonder what Im up to. A lot of times we try to earn our way to God, but then we feel guilty and sad because we just cant be as good as we want to be. We try so hard, and then as we begin reading the Scriptures, the truth will come to us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'm Sorry, God, written by Shera Hastings, is a must-read book about her riveting testimony on how Jesus Christ came into her life and saved her, which resulted in her being radically changed from a worldly, carnal thinking so-called Christian to a devout servant of the Most High King, Jesus Christ! Read how she was able to obtain the free gifts of grace, salvation, and redemption by truly repenting from willfully sinning and idolatry. Nevertheless, she acknowledges her faults to God by not only apologizing for all her sins, but she goes even further by apologizing for what our ancestors did to our beloved Savior, all while undergoing heavy spiritual warfare. She includes an open letter to God in atonement and in great reverence of his grace and mercy in addition to disclosing how the Holy Spirit revealed the one true all-encompassing doctrine. All of this information is for educational purposes only in order to help others build a relationship with our precious and magnificent Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6) And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying unto me, "Fear not; I am the First and the Last. I am He that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen, and have the keys of hell and of death." (Revelation 1:17-18) That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:10-11)

Download or read book I Am Still Alive written by ,MJ and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-06-17 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just imagine if the heavenly Father sent his Son, Jesus Christ, to walk and talk to us in the times we live in presently. Imagine if he was born in the greatest nation on earth, the United States of America. It is the place where citizens have the freedom to choose whatever they want or need. Yet many Americans choose not to want or need Jesus. What if Jesus in the flesh confronted the people of God’s country? This story will bring him back to life as Son of God and Son of man once more. People will see him with their own eyes, hear him with their own ears, and some will even touch him with their own hands. Would unbelievers change their minds and hearts and know that he really does exist? Probably not, many did not believe two thousand years ago even though they saw, heard, and touched him then. The sands of time have separated his beloved from him. Some think that Jesus is just a myth, yet they believe that Bigfoot, the Abominable Snowman, and the Loch Ness Monster are factual. They say they have seen the creatures but have no genuine evidence they are real. Since the beginning of his story, history has proven that Jesus Christ is existent, and this story will confirm it once more. Jesus is as alive today as ever and so is his message and his mission; it will never change. Obviously, the world where Jesus began his ministry is completely different than the world today. So much has transformed over the past two millennia. The first century gave us the New Testament, the twenty-first century gave us new science, new technology, new laws, and even new morals. The way we live and the way we die is completely different than it was then. There are thousands of Christian churches and thousands of more churches of other religions that have erupted. Though the world has changed over time, Jesus has not. His teachings will remain the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. How would mankind treat him if he walked the earth once more? Would they treat him the same as they did then? Would his message and mission be altered to accommodate the times? Does evil continue to prevail on earth? So many unanswered questions. You can choose to watch or walk with him in this “Greatest Story Ever Told Once More” and find answers to these and the previous questions. This story will reveal many unexpectant answers to a lifetime of questions. In your mind’s eye, you will see Jesus born then grow from a child into adulthood. You will go on a journey with him while he attempts to unite unbelieving hearts and minds with his in today’s modern society. You will see how he confronts foes and friends, and the many issues that have risen since he has risen. This can be done only if he were to return to us once again. This story is one of a thousand scenarios, it is inspired by one’s imagination but has been sprinkled with words from the Holy Bible that are not. So you may need a Holy Bible by your side to help enhance some of the messages given, but it is not necessary. In any case, read on, and I think you will be surprised by the events that are about to unfold. You will experience truth combined with fantasy and enjoy a fusion of entertainment and enlightenment. We buckle up and carnival ride of life daily, but this is the big one, so pull the straps tight and prepare for a ride on the emotional rollercoaster. Hopefully, this story will be just as exciting!

Book excerpt: How a doctor's glimpses of eternity confirmed everything he believed about God, suffering, life on earth, and what happens after death.Dr. Chauncey Crandall knows his patients well. When they are dying, he sits at the bedside with them and holds their hands. He prays with them. Sometimes he can feel what they feel and see what they see. At other times his patients have near-death experiences and "come back" with astonishing descriptions of the afterlife. In TOUCHING HEAVEN, Dr. Crandall reveals how what he has seen and heard has convinced him that God is real, that we are created for a divine purpose, that death is not the end, that we will see our departed loved ones again, and that we are closer to the next world than we think.

Download or read book And the Angels Were Silent written by Max Lucado and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he dies. In the last week of his life, Jesus deliberately sets his face toward Jerusalem—and certain death. This is no ordinary week. Even the angels are silent as they ponder the final days of Jesus Christ. This is no ordinary walk. Jesus doesn't chatter. He doesn't pause. He is on his final journey. He walks determinedly to the holy city, angrily into the temple, wearily into Gethsemane, painfully up the Via Dolorosa. And powerfully out of the vacated tomb. Master storyteller and best-selling author Max Lucado invites you: "Let's follow Jesus on his final journey. For by observing his, we may learn how to make ours. And discover what matters to God."

Download or read book The Oxford History of Protestant Dissenting Traditions Volume V written by Mark P. Hutchinson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-10-17 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The five-volume Oxford History of Protestant Dissenting Traditions series is governed by a motif of migration ('out-of-England'). It first traces organized church traditions that arose in Britain and Ireland as Dissenters distanced themselves from a state church defined by diocesan episcopacy, the Book of Common Prayer, the Thirty-Nine Articles, and Royal Supremacy, but then follows those traditions as they spread beyond Britain and Ireland--and also analyses newer traditions that emerged downstream in other parts of the world from earlier forms of Dissent. Secondly, it does the same for the doctrines, church practices, stances toward state and society, attitudes toward Scripture, and characteristic patterns of organization that also originated in earlier British and Irish dissent, but that have often defined a trajectory of influence independent of ecclesiastical organizations. The Oxford History of Protestant Dissenting Traditions, Volume V follows the spatial, cultural, and intellectual changes in dissenting identity and practice in the twentieth century, as these once European traditions globalized. While in Europe dissent was often against the religious state, dissent in a globalizing world could redefine itself against colonialism or other secular and religious monopolies. The contributors trace the encounters of dissenting Protestant traditions with modernity and globalization; changing imperial politics; challenges to biblical, denominational, and pastoral authority; local cultures and languages; and some of the century's major themes, such as race and gender, new technologies, and organizational change. In so doing, they identify a vast array of local and globalizing illustrations which will enliven conversations about the role of religion, and in particular Christianity.

Download or read book A C T S written by Wendy Bowen and published by Manifest Publications. This book was released on 2015-03-15 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Book of Acts in the Bible, the epic and supernatural experiences of God’s love, power, and guidance are powerful and tangible. This ACTS study of the Book of Acts is designed to equip and empower followers of Jesus today to become like the first disciples and to do the things that they did in that world-changing book. ACTS begins with a review of the Gospel and the resurrection of Jesus as His first followers would have understood them, and then moves through the historical accounts of the Book of Acts. Topic by topic, it reveals the dynamics of the life of the early church on and after the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out with power from Heaven. This study is written to the common believer in language that is easy to understand and apply to life today so that every follower of Jesus can enter into deep fellowship with the Holy Spirit and other believers, endure victoriously through the trials of life and opposition to the faith, and know our power and authority to work miracles, signs, and wonders in the name of Jesus. If your heart burns to experience the Book of Acts, then ACTS is the study for you and your church.
