Download or read book JWJ Journey with Jesus written by Wendy Gill Rocco and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-06-12 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The positioning of this book JWJ centers around how, after surviving multiple years of uncertainty as a world, we are all reprioritizing what is important to us--thinking of our life's Journey overall as an ongoing adventure with a purpose. As humans, we must live the life we were created for, and we ALL have the power to make a difference in this world right where we are, with Jesus at the helm. You will read about the amazing things that God has done both in my life as well as many others to not only provide and sustain us but to BLESS us in both good and seemingly bad situations. This book's focus is primarily on hard times because we all go through them, and when we do, we typically get side-blinded by being in the moment, and we forget to look for the light at the end of the tunnel. And that's an amazingly hard place to be...BUT THERE IS ALWAYS LIGHT. Let's prepare for all things unknown by staying positive now and allowing God to intervene and support the then. Your relationship with God can make it a very different experience because truth is, we don't always know the beauty that can result from difficult and seemingly bad situations--but GOD DOES! Read on and be inspired, and more importantly, let this inspiration equip you to face life's challenges with the joy in knowing that God has a better plan for your life. Everyone is given different challenges, and some are directly based on the choices we've faced and decisions we have made with our gift of free will. Find true purpose and your legacy by building your relationship with the living God today, and let your Journey begin. Jesus came so you might enjoy your life most abundantly (John 10:10).

Download or read book Short Stories by Jesus written by Amy-Jill Levine and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2014-09-09 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The renowned biblical scholar, author of The Misunderstood Jew, and general editor for The Jewish Annotated New Testament interweaves history and spiritual analysis to explore Jesus’ most popular teaching parables, exposing their misinterpretations and making them lively and relevant for modern readers. Jesus was a skilled storyteller and perceptive teacher who used parables from everyday life to effectively convey his message and meaning. Life in first-century Palestine was very different from our world today, and many traditional interpretations of Jesus’ stories ignore this disparity and have often allowed anti-Semitism and misogyny to color their perspectives. In this wise, entertaining, and educational book, Amy-Jill Levine offers a fresh, timely reinterpretation of Jesus’ narratives. In Short Stories by Jesus, she analyzes these “problems with parables,” taking readers back in time to understand how their original Jewish audience understood them. Levine reveals the parables’ connections to first-century economic and agricultural life, social customs and morality, Jewish scriptures and Roman culture. With this revitalized understanding, she interprets these moving stories for the contemporary reader, showing how the parables are not just about Jesus, but are also about us—and when read rightly, still challenge and provoke us two thousand years later.

Book excerpt: "This is the first commentary on the Gospel of Mark to systematically apply a multidisciplinary approach, called 'socio-literary method.'

Download or read book The Faith of the Outsider written by Frank A. Spina and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2005-03-29 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a probing, insightful look at the "outsider" motif running through the Bible. The biblical story about God's covenant with "insiders" -- with Israel as the chosen people -- is scandalous in today's cultural climate of inclusivity. But, as Frank Anthony Spina shows, God's exclusive election actually has an inclusive purpose. Looking carefully at the biblical narrative, Spina highlights in bold relief seven remarkable stories that treat nonelect people positively and, even more, as strategically important participants in God's plan of salvation. The stories of Esau, Tamar, Rahab, Naaman, Jonah, Ruth, and the woman at the well come alive in new ways as Spina discusses and examines them from an outsider-insider point of view.

Download or read book Jesus written by James Martin and published by HarperOne. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "James Martin, SJ, gifted storyteller, editor at large of America magazine, popular media commentator, and New York Times bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything, brings the Gospels to life in Jesus: A Pilgrimage, and invites believers and seekers alike to experience Jesus through Scripture, prayer and travel.Combining the fascinating insights of historical Jesus studies with profound spiritual insights about the Christ of faith, Father Martin recreates the world of first-century Galilee and Judea to usher you into Jesus's life and times and show readers how Jesus speaks to us today. Martin also brings together the most up-to-date Scripture scholarship, wise spiritual reflections, and lighthearted stories about traveling through the Holy Land with a fellow (and funny) Jesuit, visiting important sites in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. The person at the heart of the Gospels can seem impossibly distant. Stories about his astonishing life and ministry--clever parables that upended everyone's expectations, incredible healings that convinced even skeptics, nature miracles that dazzled the dumbstruck disciples--can seem far removed from our own daily lives, hard to understand, and at times irrelevant. But in Jesus you will come to know him as Father Martin knows him: Messiah and Savior, as well as friend and brother"--

Download or read book My Journey with Jesus written by Sherri Stanfill-Bell and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-11-02 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My Journey with Jesus is a Bible study containing thought-provoking subjects aligned with what is going on in the world by taking ourselves to God's Word (the Bible) to learn how God wants us to manage the seasons of life. Knowing that each season of life and each individual is unique, the living word can mean one thing in a certain season and mean an entirely different thing during another season. With this in mind, the intent is not for me to dictate how you are supposed to feel or dictate God's instruction for you. The intent is to help bring forth thought-provoking topics for you to pray on, meditate upon God's word, and have daily open conversations with our Heavenly Father. All of which teach us how to manage certain struggles as well as help to see the life stepping-stones God Himself has placed before each of us. I commit to stand beside and with you in prayer; it takes an army of prayer warriors to get us through this world. As you move through this thought-provoking study, you will see a lot of empty space. This is purposefully designed to provide space for your notes: words, phrases, and/or complete paragraphs that seem to come out of nowhere when studying should be written down. Keeping daily journals when seeking guidance will help you identify where God is leading you. In addition, the Lord blessed me with a poetic ministry throughout my journey. You will see poems sprinkled throughout the study. May this bless, encourage, and grow you as it has me. "I like how you supported your section topic with verses from scripture. Always great to see what the Word has to say on today's topics." --Jim Soule "I loved your poems and the scriptures that you chose for the "Time to dig in." When I read through it as an inspiration piece for my personal journey through the seasons of life, I really identified with almost all of the content...crazy!! Loved it!" --Michael Shirk "I really like your book. My favorite poem in it is 'How Long Has It Been?' Honestly when I read it, I cried. This is exactly how I have been feeling lately. I've felt like something has been missing. I realized I haven't heard God's voice in a while and I know it's because I've stopped talking and reaching for him. Your book is making me rethink the way I am doing things, reminding me that I know God is here for me and that I just need to start praying more and listening to what he has to tell me." --Tawny Hicks A special thank you to the highly talented Graphics Artist, Jayameena "Jay" Sundar for capturing my visions into beautiful illustrations (www.jaysundar.com). I would also like to thank the beta readers who provided valuable insights. 19
