Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you struggled with making sense of suffering--whether in your own life, in the history of God's people, or just in the world around you? -What if the "secret" to the enigma of suffering, far from being shrouded in impenetrable darkness, is transparently set forth at the very beginning of the Bible, in God's immediate response to human sin, from where it is progressively unfolded as the inner dynamic of so-called "salvation history"? -What if suffering, in its essence, is a form of precisely those birth pangs through which a new creation, enucleated in the body of the risen Christ, is being brought into existence to replace the old? -What if you could come to see your own suffering as pain that is intended to be productive of new life? This is precisely what John A. Porter argues in this study of the biblical perspective on suffering. He discerns in birth pangs the key to a profound understanding of the place of suffering in God's redemptive plan, not only for humanity but for the cosmos, and especially in the life of the Church and the individual Christian.

Download or read book Disciples Literal New Testament written by Michael Magill and published by Reyma Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If You Love God's Word You Will Love This New Testament! The Disciples' Literal New Testament sets you free from our artificial 460 year old chapter and verse structure, replacing it with paragraphing that reflects the flow of thought in the original Greek writings. Paragraph headings make that flow of thought explicit to you, speeding your understanding of the NT books. This translation retains the writing style of the apostles themselves, rather than transforming their Greek ways of writing into an elegant or contemporary English writing style, as has been beautifully done so many times. It is the same translation as the author's New Testament TransLine, first published by Zondervan in 2002. Now you can read the New Testament as the original writers intended it, and see it with a clarity formerly available only to those who could carefully study their Greek New Testament. You can even see the difference in writing style between Matthew, Mark and Luke! Used along with your standard Bible version, you will profit from both methods of translation. *Easily grasp the relationship of the whole and the parts of each book with the big-picture overview outlines that use the words of the original author. *Gain quick insight into the flow of thought from descriptive paragraph headings that summarize the main point of each paragraph in its context. *You can visually follow the apostles' thinking because the 'Intelligent Paragraphing' visually displays their main and subordinate thoughts. *The hindrance to your understanding caused by our artificial chapter and verse structure is eliminated by paragraphing based on the Greek writings. *You will more fully appreciate the minds and thinking patterns and intent of the original writers because the translation corresponds more closely to their words and their grammar and their sentence structure. *Deepen and expand your understanding of the New Testament by meditating on the notes containing alternative renderings, explanations of what is being said, and different views of the meaning.

Book excerpt: Millions of women have felt the power of birth, and countless women long for it. But for too many, birth can seem like a purely clinical experience — something to get through as quickly as possible in order to get on with the joys of being a mother. In Made for This, author Mary Haseltine draws on Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body to show that birth is an essential part of who God created women to be, body and soul. With real-life stories from many moms and practical tips — including preparing for birth, making informed choices, helping fathers embrace their role in the birth room, and encountering the work of labor — this book is an indispensable guide for navigating the physical and spiritual dimensions of pregnancy and birth. Expectant mothers will find the tools they need to approach birth as a gift, and to invite God into the experience. About the Author Mary Haseltine is a theology graduate and a certified birth doula and childbirth educator. With a passion for building a culture of life through the teachings of the Theology of the Body, she works to bring an awareness and practice of the teachings of the Church into the realm of childbirth, mothering, and pregnancy loss. She lives in Western New York with her husband and five sons. You can find more of her writing at www.betterthaneden.com.

Download or read book My Soul in Silence Waits written by Margaret Guenther and published by Cowley Publications. This book was released on 2000-01-25 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “For God alone my soul in silence waits....” In these reflections on Psalm 62 Margaret Guenther provides the foundation for a time of reflection and retreat without ever leaving home. The book’s first chapter introduces us to ways of making a retreat wherever we are, at a place apart or in the midst of our daily lives. Guenther then offers eight meditations on Psalm 62, with its themes of waiting on God’s presence with patience, trust, and expectation. She explores the images the psalm evokes of longing, silence, waiting, safety, enemies, and God as a rock and refuge. As in all her books, Guenther finds new ways to explore these ancient themes with the wit and practicality of an accomplished storyteller. These eight meditations can be read consecutively over the course of a single day or weekend, or spaced over time with periods of reflection in between. Each meditation ends with ideas for further prayer and pondering. My Soul in Silence Waits is one of our series of Cowley Cloister Books: smaller format, gift edition books designed for meditative and devotional reading.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Revelation contains great and important prophecies about the end of timesand significantly, about our redemption. But what should we be watching for? What are the signs of the fulfillment of these end-time prophecies, and what scriptural evidence is there to support what we may see? The Revelation 12 Sign explains how a major sign in the heavens will occur in September 2017 during the two-day feast of trumpets called Yom Teruah, which is also known as the hidden day. God will reveal this sign in the heavens for all to see, and it is foretold in Revelation 12:1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars. This marks the prophetic birth of the corporate body of Christ known as the Church, and with this birth will follow the prophetic marriage of Christ and the churchthe Messiah and his church will become one flesh. As the days of Revelation draw closer and prophecy is both revealed and fulfilled, it is more important than ever for believers to understand the meaning of the characters, events, and symbols in Revelation as well as the appointed time known as Yom Teruah. The Revelation 12 Sign will elucidate powerful evidence supporting both the interpretation of this sign as well as how God desires his saints to be aware of what is to come.
Download or read book Travel and Travail written by Mary C. Fuller and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular English travel guides from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries asserted that women who wandered too far afield were invariably suspicious, dishonest, and unchaste. As the essays in Travel and Travail reveal, however, early modern women did travel, often quite extensively, with no diminution of their moral fiber. Female travelers were also frequently represented on the English stage and in other creative works, both as a reproach to the ban on female travel and as a reflection of historical women's travel, whether intentional or not. Travel and Travail conclusively refutes the notion of female travel in the early modern era as "an absent presence." The first part of the volume offers analyses of female travelers (often recently widowed or accompanied by their husbands), the practicalities of female travel, and how women were thought to experience foreign places. The second part turns to literature, including discussions of roving women in Shakespeare, Margaret Cavendish, and Thomas Heywood. Whether historical actors or fictional characters, women figured in the wider world of the global Renaissance, not simply in the hearth and home.
