  • Publisher : Church Publishing, Inc.
  • Release : 2020-09-17
  • ISBN : 1640653163
  • Pages : 145 pages

Download or read book Preparing Room written by Russell J. Levenson and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-09-17 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore the biblical context for Advent in this series of contemplations. The pieces of the beginning of the Christian story come together, not from one set of hands, but many. For instance, in the four Gospels, Mark makes no mention of the events leading up to and surrounding the birth of Jesus. John, for the most part, points back to Genesis. Most of the historical pieces come to us primarily from Matthew and Luke. The scriptures together are the key to telling the story of the season. Allusions and references to other scriptures are accompanied by brief meditations so that readers may step more deeply into the Advent story and find its meaning and impact for their own lives.

Book The New Believer s Guide to the Christian Life

Download or read book The New Believer s Guide to the Christian Life written by Alex Early and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Life as a Christian Really Looks Like New believers need to know what to expect. While many books cover the nuts and bolts of new faith--how to read the Bible, how to pray, how to find a church--in this book, Alex Early focuses on issues of the heart. What are Christians supposed to feel? What happens when they sin? What does God want from them? Designed to challenge and reassure, this book gives a realistic depiction of the Christian life, and includes such topics as how to rest in God's love, what forgiveness looks like when you blow it, what it means to find your identity in Christ, and how to pray with honesty and transparency. God isn't surprised when we struggle, and although being in a relationship with God is amazing, he never promised that this life would be easy. He can handle "real" people, and he pours out his reckless love regardless of what we do or think on any given day. We all need to be reminded of this, but especially those new to the faith. This book is ideal for new believers, but seasoned Christians should also have copies on hand to give away. Includes end-of-chapter questions and a "Christianese to English" glossary.
