Download or read book Lovers Bible written by Dr. DreamingBear Baraka Kanaan and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2017-08-18 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lovers Bible is an ode to being a lover as a way of life, seeking the beloved in everything, and having the audacity to make out with existence every chance you get so as to give the multiverse cosmic goose bumps! Part guide to being a lover and part poetic prophecy, this volume is potency incarnate. Infused with the mana of the Hawaiian Islands, these passages reflect the spiritual connection to the aina (life force) of this new Eden oasis. Inspired by and written amongst Hawaiian fairy forests and enchanted tropical dreams, Lovers Bible merges in the center, with half being day and half being night, a metaphor for the lover and beloved playing the eternal game of hide-and-seek kiss-tag. Sacred and profane eroticism decorate the pages, and tenderly offered inamorato philosophy flowers in the fodder of this seductive verse. Its not for the faint of heart, and sacred sensual scriptures emerge from this incantation of passion and playfulness, beckoning the initiate to awaken to the power inherent within, declaring, For God so loved the world that she formed Creation with a kiss. Beyond religions, belief systems, or concepts of any kind, there is the deepest truth of being human, which is tenderness with an edge. Lovers Bible is a manuscript for those who find more holiness in a single sweet embrace than in all the shrines and semantics of the world. The lovers path, the beauty way, is embedded in nature. Hidden in every leaf, rock, river, and creature is a kiss from Creation, saying, Come play!

Download or read book Friends and Lovers written by Joel R. Beeke and published by Cruciform Press. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage aims at the glory of God through intimate companionship. God meant husband and wife to walk together, talk together, work together, and sleep together. As the Puritans said, God did not make the woman out of man's head to control him, or out of his feet for him to trample on her, but out of his side to be embraced near to his heart. Here is a book of practical encouragements for two key aspects of marriage: companionship and sex. Dr. Joel Beeke draws upon the wisdom of the Holy Scriptures and over three decades of pastoral ministry to present a dozen practical principles for fanning into flame the fire of love between husband and wife. The Bible has a higher aim than a satisfying marriage, namely, glorying in God forever. Marriage will one day be done, made obsolete by the magnificent relationship between Christ and His people. Even now, marriage is neither the chief purpose nor the highest joy of man. But the Scriptures do call wedded people to glorify God here and now through their marriages. Dr. Beeke's book aims to assist them in this. In Part I ("Friends"), the book explores the meaning, cultivation, and threats to friendship in marriage. Friendship is that personal bond of shared life that brings people together in delightful harmony. It is rooted God's created order of making men and women in His image. We broke this harmonious order when our first parents sinned against God, simultaneously turning against each other. But Christ is the great peacemaker and friendship-restorer. Cultivating friendship with your spouse is hard work, but profoundly rewarding. It revolves around sharing life together. The book gives guidance in how to share yourself with your spouse through the gifts of time, discussing decisions, listening to each other's feelings, talking about how God is at work in your lives, praying together, building trust, laughing together, giving thanks, pleasing your spouse, and finding shared interests. It also walks the reader through the minefields of giving and receiving correction, honoring in-laws, having balanced friendship with others, and supporting on another in crises. Above all, we must remember that our most important friendship is with our Lord Jesus Christ, who alone can walk with us through life, death, and eternity. In Part II ("Lovers"), Dr. Beeke sets forth several ways in which the gospel energizes married Christians to enjoy sex in holy delight. The words "gospel," "sex," and "holy," may not seem to go together. This book shows that in reality sexual love between husband and wife is both a holy duty pleasing to God and blessed privilege empowered by Christ's grace. Rather than splitting our lives into different compartments such as sex and religion, God calls us to respond to Christ's mercies by offering our whole existence to Him as a living sacrifice. The Bible teaches us doctrines like the image of God in man, the creation mandate God laid upon the human race, the moral law for marriage, forgiveness of sins by faith in Christ, sanctification by divine grace, Christ's call to take up our cross, adoption by God, and turning from idols to give thanks to God. All these doctrines have massive implications for our sexual relationship with our spouses. However these doctrines must do more than sit in our minds; they must sink into our hearts. In Reformed, experiential fashion, Dr. Beeke leads the reader to know, believe, feel, and act based upon God's Word applied by God's Spirit.

This book was released on 2019-12-12 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'LL SHOW YOU THE DEFINITION OF TRUE LOVE ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE. IT MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU THINK IT IS.Imagine that God is real. I believe this. And imagine just for a second that we all live according to His guidelines... imagine... we're now living in paradise! How good is that!We are loving each other the way we would like to be loved ourselves. We have peace and not just peace of mind, but real peace in the world. Everyone has shelter, clothes and enough wholesome food to share around. Doesn't this sound wonderful?God's people know how to do this. Look at the charitable Christian organisations around the world to see that when God's rules are followed, there is abundance.Where I live, the 2nd hand shops run by Christian organisations such as Vinnies, Salvation Army and our Red Cross Shop overflow with good quality donated clothes and furniture for minimal prices. Victory Church sells hampers for $35 which provides food for a family of 4 for a whole week! WeCare2 offers groceries for people with limited budgets.Centacare, Blue Care, Uniting Care provide all kinds of services at minimal or no cost to the aged, disabled and disadvantaged and I can go on and on. These organisations are only a few of many in my town and show us that Christians know how their heavenly Father wants them to love each other.Does this love also manifest in our private lives with our own family and friends? Do we know how to and actively love our Father back?Jesus, a real person, the Son of God, came to save humanity from itself'God Healed Me, ' written by Mimi Emmanuel has been listed in the top 100 books in various categories since it launched in May 2016. It was called, 'A very inspiring book, full of wisdom and enlightenment, ' and, 'This book is incredibly good, ' and, 'You so beautifully present the power of our Living God!''What Is True Love According To The Bible, ' is the 2nd book in the Truth, Love & God series. This series came about after Mimi realised that the 'Jesus' stories' told by her Mum were true. As in, Jesus was not just a mythical figure but a real person, the Son of God, who had come down to earth to save humanity from itself. THIS BOOK LOOKS INTO THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD AND JESUS' LOVE FOR HUMANITY AND HOW WE ARE RECIPROCATING. And how few of us ever respond in kind. 'What Is True Love? According To The Bible, ' is based on decades of Bible study and introspection. The book is an easy and quick one and a half hour read for the average reader. In addition there are seventy pages (hundreds) of Scriptural references related to 'true love according to the Bible.'The Word Love Is Mentioned 686 Times In The BibleMany Christians seem to think that the Bible is all about salvation. I agree that Jesus came down to earth to save us from ourselves. However, THE MAIN THEME THROUGHOUT THE BIBLE IS ABOUT HOW OUR HEAVENLY FATHER WOULD LIKE US TO LOVE HIM AND LOVE EACH OTHER. The word 'love' and variants thereof are mentioned 442 times in the King James Bible, 545 times in the Amplified Bible and 686 times in the New International Version. That's a lot of times!This is in contrast to the word 'salvation' which is only mentioned 158 times in the King James Bible, 329 in the Amplified Bible and 114 times in the New International Version.Salvation comes about because of the love shown to us. Unreciprocated love cannot flourish; we all know that.Yet many believers think that grace will rain down from heaven no matter what.Our Father sent His Son and Jesus gave His life so that we may be saved. Do we really think that just a 'thank you!' is enough?Read alongside Mimi to discover how God's Holy Word spells out to us that true love requires obedience and our Father tells us exactly how to. Don't obey fellow Christians or your church. Listen to HIM!Purchase the paper copy and get the kindle FREE; start reading today.DOWNLOAD THIS BOOK NO

Download or read book This Momentary Marriage written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2009-04-03 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting on forty years of matrimony, John Piper exalts the biblical meaning of marriage over its emotion, exhorting couples to keep their covenant for all the best reasons. Even in the days when people commonly stayed married "'til death do us part," there has never been a generation whose view of marriage was high enough, says Pastor John Piper. That is all the more true in our casual times. Though personal selfishness and cultural bondage obstruct the wonder of God's purpose, it is found in God's Word, where his design can awaken a glorious vision capable of freeing every person from small, Christ-ignoring, romance-intoxicated views. As Piper explains in reflecting on forty years of matrimony: "Most foundationally, marriage is the doing of God. And ultimately, marriage is the display of God. It displays the covenant-keeping love between Christ and his people to the world in a way that no other event or institution does. Marriage, therefore, is not mainly about being in love. It's mainly about telling the truth with our lives. And staying married is not about staying in love. It is about keeping covenant and putting the glory of Christ's covenant-keeping love on display." This Momentary Marriage unpacks the biblical vision, its unexpected contours, and its weighty implications for married, single, divorced, and remarried alike.

Download or read book His Love Endures Forever written by Garry J. Williams and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is love—there are few more quoted statements from all of Scripture. Although wonderfully simple, the idea that God is fundamentally loving is incredibly profound. And yet, sometimes we confuse God’s love with our human understanding of love—an understanding that is inherently imperfect, sometimes self-serving, and often fickle. Helping us walk in the belief that God is love—not that love is God—this book explores what the Bible actually teaches about how and what God loves. Readers will discover that, although we often misunderstand, misuse, and take for granted God’s love, it’s actually more wonderful, pure, and satisfying than we ever imagined.

Download or read book Love Like Jesus How Jesus Loved People and how you can love like Jesus written by Kurt Bennett and published by Enoch Media. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Kurt Bennett's popular-ish blog God Running, Love Like Jesus begins with the story of how after a life of regular church attendance and Bible study, Bennett was challenged by a pastor to study Jesus. That led to an obsessive seven-year deep dive. After pouring over Jesus' every interaction with another human being, he realized he was doing a much better job of studying Jesus' words than he was following Jesus' words and example. The honest and fearless revelations of Bennett's own moral failures affirm he wrote this book for himself as much as for others. Love Like Jesus examines a variety of stories, examples, and research, including: -Specific examples of how Jesus communicated God's love to others. -How Jesus demonstrated all five of Gary Chapman's love languages (and how you can too). -The story of how Billy Graham extended Christ's extraordinary love and grace toward a man who misrepresented Jesus to millions. -How to respond to critics the way Jesus did. -How to love unlovable people the way Jesus did. -How to survive a life of loving like Jesus (or how not to become a Christian doormat). -How Jesus didn't love everyone the same (and why you shouldn't either). -How Jesus guarded his heart by taking care of himself--he even napped--and why you should do the same.-How Jesus loved his betrayer Judas, even to the very end. With genuine unfiltered honesty, Love Like Jesus, shows you how to live a life according to God's definition of success: A life of loving God well, and loving the people around you well too. A life of loving like Jesus.

Download or read book You Are What You Love written by James K. A. Smith and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are what you love. But you might not love what you think. In this book, award-winning author James K. A. Smith shows that who and what we worship fundamentally shape our hearts. And while we desire to shape culture, we are not often aware of how culture shapes us. We might not realize the ways our hearts are being taught to love rival gods instead of the One for whom we were made. Smith helps readers recognize the formative power of culture and the transformative possibilities of Christian practices. He explains that worship is the "imagination station" that incubates our loves and longings so that our cultural endeavors are indexed toward God and his kingdom. This is why the church and worshiping in a local community of believers should be the hub and heart of Christian formation and discipleship. Following the publication of his influential work Desiring the Kingdom, Smith received numerous requests from pastors and leaders for a more accessible version of that book's content. No mere abridgment, this new book draws on years of Smith's popular presentations on the ideas in Desiring the Kingdom to offer a fresh, bottom-up rearticulation. The author creatively uses film, literature, and music illustrations to engage readers and includes new material on marriage, family, youth ministry, and faith and work. He also suggests individual and communal practices for shaping the Christian life.

Download or read book The Rule of Love written by Jonathan Leeman and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God Is Love vs. Love Is God Our culture's view of love—with no boundaries or judgments or conditions— justifies whatever our hearts want and whatever our hearts feel, rejecting any authority that gets in the way. Falsely heralded as the only path to true selfexpression and self-realization, this kind of love diminishes—if not completely redefines—the holy love of God revealed in the Bible. In this book, Jonathan Leeman directs us toward a biblical definition of love by answering critical questions: How is love commonly misunderstood? What is God's love like and why is it offensive? And how does all of this relate to the church? In an age of consumerism, individualism, and tribalism, Leeman demonstrates how God showcases his holy love and authority to a watching world through the lives of his people living in true community with one another as the church.
