Download or read book Feats of Courage written by Alain Normand and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-05-11 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this second instalment of short stories based on biblical events, we look into some of the lesser known heroes of the Bible. People who are mentioned in passing, who take up only a page or two in the scriptures, but nevertheless play a role in teaching us lessons, need to be acknowledged. Their contribution may pale in comparison to some of the better known heroes like David and Moses, but its all of those people who shaped what we are today. In particular this book aims at demonstrating the courage it took to go against the flow during these times. Again using the context of biblical time, this is a follow-up to the first book Facing the Elements, that saw the scriptures not only as stories but as real events. The book is separated into four themes: men, women, small groups and large groups or clans. In the authors usual habit, the twelve stories are followed by a bonus which makes for the bakers dozen. This time a song attributable to Nehemiah is the subject.
Download or read book The Biblical Hero written by Elliott Rabin and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approaching the Bible in an original way—comparing biblical heroes to heroes in world literature—Elliott Rabin addresses a core biblical question: What is the Bible telling us about what it means to be a hero? Focusing on the lives of six major biblical characters—Moses, Samson, David, Esther, Abraham, and Jacob—Rabin examines their resemblance to hero types found in (and perhaps drawn from) other literatures and analyzes why the Bible depicts its heroes less gloriously than do the texts of other cultures: * Moses founds the nation of Israel—and is short-tempered and weak-armed. * Samson, arrogant and unhinged, can kill a thousand enemies with his bare hands. * David establishes a centralized, unified, triumphal government—through pretense and self-deception. * Esther saves her people but marries a murderous, misogynist king. * Abraham's relationships are wracked with tension. * Jacob fathers twelve tribes—and wins his inheritance through deceit. In the end, is God the real hero? Or is God too removed from human constraints to even be called a “hero”? Ultimately, Rabin excavates how the Bible’s unique perspective on heroism can address our own deep-seated need for human-scale heroes.

Download or read book Twelve Unlikely Heroes written by John F. MacArthur and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2014-08-19 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What kind of people does God use to accomplish His work? Far from the children’s tales depicted in picture books and nursery rhymes, the men and women highlighted in the Bible were unnervingly real. They faltered. They struggled. And at times, they fell short. Yet God worked through them in surprising and incredible ways to accomplish His purposes. Scripture does not hide their weaknesses, caricature their strengths, or spin their stories as a display of human nobility. Instead, it describes these heroes of the faith with unflinching honesty and delivers an unexpected ending: “God is not ashamed to be called their God” (Hebrews 11:16). In Twelve Unlikely Heroes, pastor and best-selling author John MacArthur uses his deep knowledge of the Bible and history to take us back to see these three-dimensional men and women in their own times and cultures. In doing so, it becomes clear how their dramatic stories apply to us today. People who might at first seem foreign quickly become familiar and unforgettable—particularly as they reveal the true Hero behind every witness, the power counterbalancing every weakness, “the Author and Finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:1).
Download or read book Lessons from the Bible s Lesser Knowns written by lee a. coppock and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This offering is a compilation of lesser-known Bible characters, their stories, and life examples taken from each. The format makes it even easier to digest and will keep the reader looking for what is next. Each entry is structured the following way: the honoree for each chapter is identified along with the number of verses that s/he appears in the Bible; the "Backstory" or the general context that gives rise to the events surrounding the lesser-known's application to daily life and living; the related scripture forming the basis for the lesson(s) to be considered; a cite or cites for further Scriptural study on this individual; the big one: A related set of takeaways for application. Each is carefully drafted to comport with the Scriptures; and footnotes citing proofs that can be readily accessed by those who are interested in deeper study. There are important life lessons exhibited by somewhat obscure Bible characters that are unaddressed in any other offering. A review of available topics in bookstores or a search for offerings online will show that there are many opportunities to learn from the Bible's better-known characters. Examples of those would include Adam and Eve, Noah, Abraham, Ruth, David, Peter, the apostle Paul, and many others. While one may presume that hours spent learning from those examples are well-spent, there are within God's Word so many other accounts of individuals--lesser-known men and women. Recognizing and applying the truth of 2 Timothy 3:16: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching," it follows that among the many lesser-known Bible characters there are also valuable examples from which we might learn. An opportunity to do just that is what one may expect from these pages and no others.
