Download or read book Naked Before God written by Dr. Tino W. Smith Sr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2000-12-28 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naked Before God is the compelling true story of a man torn between two roads. To his right is an Apostolic ministry. To his left a more social conscious Gospel like that of Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Clayton Powell. Dr. Tino W. Smith knew that God had called him to be a leader before he preached his first soul-stirring sermon at age 14. By age 22 he became the first black male commissioner in Calhoun County Michigan and one of the youngest County Commissioners in the states history. Smiths path toward prominence continued when he was appointed pastor of a church in Western Indiana at age 23. Within five years the charismatic young leader had transformed the fledging congregation into the citys largest African-American church, created the largest financial base in his community and had become one of the citys most influential black leaders. But, turmoil lurked around the corner. After making a stunning confession to his congregation Smith found himself hated and reviled. With his reputation ruined, his finances depleted and his confidence lost, he descended into a deep depression. But, just as his circumstances seemed to worsen Smith recognized he was not alone. Stripping himself of the image he had spent years trying to perfect and leaning on Gods promises Smith begins putting the pieces of his life back together as he becomes Naked Before God.

Download or read book Naked Spirituality written by Brian D. McLaren and published by HarperOne. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity is in crisis. Many sincere Christians feel their traditional Christian practices are in danger of becoming irrelevant, empty rituals. In his previous book A New Kind of Christianity, Brian D. McLaren offered new biblical models for how we understand the central ideas of a faith that provides hope for restoring and reinvigorating the power of the gospels to transform us and our communities. In Naked Spirituality, McLaren takes his prophetic work a step further by confronting how the lack of a simple, doable, durable spirituality undermines the very transformation God is calling us to undergo. As a result, our religious structures become tools to maintain the status quo and not catalysts for personal and social change. McLaren presents a four-stage framework for understanding the spiritual life, and he unfolds spiritual practices appropriate to each stage. Each practice is rooted in a simple word: here, thanks, O, sorry, help, please, when, no, why, behold, yes, and silence. Naked Spirituality offers accessible, practical wisdom for living a truly spiritual life. Staying true to Jesus's core message while engaging faithfully with our postmodern world, McLaren presents a proven spiritual program for engaging in and sustaining a meaningful relationship with God.

Hamilton's awe-inspiring Night's Dawn Trilogy, a space opera that is “big, boisterous, and has something for everyone” (Science Fiction Weekly). As the Confederation begins to collapse politically and economically, the “possessed” insidiously infiltrate more and more worlds. Meanwhile, Quinn Dexter is loose on Earth, destroying the giant arcologies one at a time. As Louise Kavanagh tries to track him down, she manages to acquire some strange and powerful allies whose goals don’t quite match her own. The campaign to liberate Mortonridge from the possessed degenerates into a horrendous land battle, the kind which hasn't been seen by humankind for six hundred years. And finally, Joshua Calvert and Syrinx race to fly their starships on a mission to find the Sleeping God — which an alien race believes holds the key to overthrowing the possessed.

Download or read book Naked and Unafraid written by Kevin Gerald and published by FaithWords. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Celebrate a vulnerable and open life by overcoming your fear of criticism and start living the life God intended. Fear of criticism has turned into a massive epidemic harder than ever to overcome. It prevents people from speaking up; it's why most people struggle to make decisions; it's why we're uncomfortable with vulnerability and openness; and it's why so many are unable to meet their full potential. But it doesn't have to be that way. Through the Bible story of King David dancing naked in the streets while his distant, guarded, and critical wife watches from a window, Naked and Unafraid provides a visual contrast of these two characters that sheds light on the way we all approach life and explains how the fear of criticism impacts our lives much more than we realize or are willing to admit. God didn't create us to live guarded, isolated lives. Our greatest fulfillment isn't found in the window. It's found in the street. Everything in our lives, including our relationships, our work, our emotional and spiritual health, gets better in a place of openness and vulnerability. But that doesn't mean it's easy. . . because it's not. Vulnerability is risky. Exposure is scary. Naked and Unafraid pushes readers to: Find the courage to not let criticism control or determine who they are and what they do. Stop living in the shallow end of relationships and experience the rewards that true vulnerability can bring. Abandon smallness and live the life they were born to live. Discover how the fear of criticism diminishes in direct proportion to understanding it. Reject the limitations and inhibitions of "window living," so they can experience the freedom and rewards of "street life." Confront their own worst critic that counts them out of what God has included them in. God will help you move away from window watching, and toward street dancing. Know who He says you are, and live in that freedom!

Download or read book Jesus in the Shadows written by Eric Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2014-08-10 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jesus in the Shadows" is asking one big question: When Luke tells us in Luke 24:27 that Jesus showed His disciples "the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures," just how are we meant to take the word "all"? Was it intended to be figurative-just Jesus' way of saying, "Hey, no worries, there are a few verses about Me in that book we all like so much, and when you figure them out, you can use them to write your own book and really get the word out"? Or did He mean something immeasurably more? What if some of the most well-known Bible stories (like David and Goliath, Daniel in the Lions' Den, and Jonah and the Whale) are really just Jesus-stories? What if when Luke used the word "all" he really meant ALL? What if the disciples have learned a new way to approach Scripture from the Master, Himself-having their minds opened to the true understanding that God's plan has been right in front of His people the entire time (Luke 24:45)? In "Jesus in the Shadows," Eric Robinson looks very closely at seven of the most well-known Bible stories in all of Scripture, showing how they are actually just thinly-veiled descriptions of Jesus' ultimate work of salvation. Written on a level for any Bible-believer (or any searching heart), Jesus in the Shadows will give a foundation of faith that God's plan was written down in complete detail over centuries before Jesus' body was laid in a manger in Bethlehem. You will never be able to read your Old Testament the same again. Endorsements from bestselling authors: "From the moment the first chapter of this off-the-hook book begins, 'What if Jesus led a Bible study?' I was hooked. You will be too. Hear the Jesus story as it should be told, from Genesis to Revelation." Leonard Sweet, best-selling author and professor, chief contributor to sermons.com "This is a highly readable book, written to be understood by everyone, showing how the Jesus story permeates all the Scriptures. The chapters enable the reader to see how the entire Bible was meant to prepare for Christ, and I recommend it highly." Grant Osborne, author of The Hermeneutical Spiral "Eric Robinson presents a stunning portrait of Christ throughout the ages. I was blown away, again and again, by the insights on every page. If you've ever wondered how the Old and New Testaments fit together, read this book. You'll discover JESUS in all His glory, just as God painted Him for us, on the canvas of human history. Dr. Andrew Farley, bestselling author of The Naked Gospel and God Without Religion "Eric Robinson has written a wonderfully insightful study from the Hebrew Scriptures, showing how they point to Y'shua ha Mashiach, Jesus the Messiah. In a day when stories are becoming more and more important as vehicles for communicating truth, this book is a great reminder of how God has woven the promise of a redeemer throughout His revelation to Israel. If you love to study the Bible you will gain fresh insight into the eternal purposes of God through reading this refreshing book." David Brickner, Executive Director of Jews for Jesus, author of Christ in the Feast of Pentecost
Download or read book The Holy Bible Naked and Exposed written by Ross J Miller Dds and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-16 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's actually in the least-read bestseller of all time? A typical Bible is virtually impenetrable to a casual reader. Except for the cherry-picked "good parts," most Christians have very little familiarity with their supposed holy book. Those who have slogged their way through it, page by tortuous page, usually come out the other end with little comprehension of what they've read. That's because the Bible is a grossly repetitive, horrendously overwritten and sloppily edited book of staggering length. The HBNE has stripped away the flummery and nebulous prose to reveal the cold, hard narrative: It's shocking. It's hilarious. It's deeply disturbing. And yet despite all that, the Bible is a VASTLY entertaining read when you actually understand what it's saying. With handy commentary incorporated into the text, the reader will instantly grasp the point of entire chapters in mere minutes. Discover the Bible your clergy wish you would ignore, and which your friends and family never knew existed.
