Download or read book Power Encounter in Spiritual Warfare written by Charles H. Kraft and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-05-18 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Acceptance of Christianity in Southern Polynesia during the eighteenth century proceeded rapidly without missionary activity. This fact attracted the attention of Alan Tippett, who served for twenty years as an Australian missionary to the Fiji Islands. What he found was that the key to their conversion lay in the fact that, without missionary presence, the south sea islanders responded to demonstrations of what Tippett learned to call "power encounters." These were contests, some staged, some not staged, in which there was a power encounter between the true God and the gods of the islanders in which the traditional gods were defeated. Kraft here discusses the fact that this power principle applies much more widely.

Download or read book Bottleneckers written by William Mellor and published by Encounter Books. This book was released on 2016-12-13 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bottlenecker (n): a person who advocates for the creation or perpetuation of government regulation, particularly an occupational license, to restrict entry into his or her occupation, thereby accruing an economic advantage without providing a benefit to consumers. The Left, Right, and Center all hate them: powerful special interests that use government power for their own private benefit. In an era when the Left hates “fat cats” and the Right despises “crony capitalists,” now there is an artful and memorable one-word pejorative they can both get behind: bottleneckers. A “bottlenecker” is anyone who uses government power to limit competition and thereby reap monopoly profits and other benefits. Bottleneckers work with politicians to constrict competition, entrepreneurial innovation, and opportunity. They thereby limit consumer choice; drive up consumer prices; and they support politicians who willingly overstep the constitutional limits of their powers to create, maintain, and expand these anticompetitive bottlenecks. The Institute for Justice’s new book Bottleneckers coins a new word in the American lexicon, and provides a rich history and well-researched examples of bottleneckers in one occupation after another—from alcohol distributors to taxicab cartels—pointing the way to positive reforms.

Download or read book Encounter God in the City written by Randy White and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2009-09-20 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is at work in the city. And he invites his people to join him. But the city is not merely a mission field for Christians to target. The city is also the environment where Christians are discipled and lives are forged into the image of Jesus. Urban ministry veteran Randy White shows how God transforms you when you answer God's call to the city. Urban life peels away your sin and self-deception and challenges your unexamined assumptions about privilege, race, class and power. Experiential discipleship moves you from abstract theory to hands-on learning and on-the-ground action, revolutionizing your perspective and making a difference in local neighborhoods and beyond. Passionate and practical, White's vivid narratives of experiencing God in the city show you how your spiritual health is intertwined with the health of the metropolis. Seek the welfare of the city, and both you and the city will be transformed.
Download or read book Brief Encounters with the Enemy written by Saïd Sayrafiezadeh and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2013 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An unnamed American city feeling the effects of a war waged far away and suffering from bad weather is the backdrop for this startling work of fiction. The protagonists are aimless young men going from one blue collar job to the next, or in a few cases, aspiring to middle management. Their everyday struggles--with women, with the morning commute, with a series of cruel bosses--are somehow transformed into storytelling that is both universally resonant and wonderfully uncanny. That is the unsettling, funny, and ultimately heartfelt originality of Saïd Sayrafiezadeh's short fiction, to be at home in a world not quite our own but with many, many lessons to offer us"--

This book was released on 2021-12-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did the Communist regime in Czechoslovakia approach non-heterosexuality? How did young girls and boys come to realize their queer desires and identities within a state known for repressing individuality? What did they do with that self-awareness—and later on, as adults, what strategies did they employ in their everyday dealings with a state that defined homosexuality as a medical diagnosis? Queer Encounters with Communist Power answers these questions as it interweaves groundbreaking queer oral history with meticulous archival research into the discourses on homosexuality and transsexuality in Czechoslovakia from 1948 to 1989.
Download or read book Fortuitous Encounters written by Paul Davis and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2013 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have all experienced fortuitous encounters--those moments in our lives--where a person, place, or thing caused our lives to change in a more positive direction. Our lives are full of what some have called serendipity, strange acts of fortune or causeless miracles. A favorite teacher inspires our choice of career, a chance encounter develops into love, marriage, and a new family. At the time we are most in need of a friend, one appears in our lives. We look at a mountain or the ocean and find meaning and peace, we read a book and an idea is planted in our brains that provides the wisdom we seek. The ability to experience fortuitous encounters is key to learning and growth. The more fortuitous encounters someone has, the better the odds are the person is successful and happy. While fortuitous encounters are by their very nature a product of chance that is beyond our ability to control, Davis and Spears strongly believe, as did Pasteur, that "chance favors only the prepared mind." The intention is not to try to explain chance, or divine intervention in this book, but simply to help the reader, whatever their core beliefs, to understand the power of fortuitous encounters. In this book, you will read firsthand reports of fortuitous encounters of many kinds. These true stories can help you to learn how to prepare yourself to experience your own fortuitous encounters, and experience a lifetime of learning and growth. This wise book will serve as a great companion to help you stay awake to the fortuitous people, places, and things that ultimately shape your days and your life. +
Download or read book The Greatest Encounter written by Kleham Kings Degaya and published by . This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Greatest Encounter is like no other book in the world. In every generation, God does a spectacular thing to awaken the sons of light from their slumber and display His sovereign grace and mercy to the undeserving. This book outlines such an unusual triumphant encounter that will guarantee a definite, express change in your life, mentality, and walk with the Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ Glorified. Every day, many sincere people perish in the realm of the Spirit, and such destruction manifests in the physical world. Sincerity alone cannot save you. It is not an alternative to knowledge. The key is both sincerity and embracing the truth. There is no affliction in the physical realm that not traceable to the spiritual realm. A human being is over ninety percent spiritual, so to be ignorant of spirituality is absolute negligence, detrimental to your well-being. Nevertheless, most people are still uninterested in spiritual matters. Anything traceable to negative or positive spirituality works. Satan and his agents run on negative spirituality. They are wreaking havoc on Earth. The children of God who are supposed to be the most powerful people on Earth have neglected to learn what they ought to know about positive spirituality. The effect of this negligence is evident in the lives of the children of God everywhere on earth today. The Greatest Encounter is an eye opener, it takes the guess work out of developing a strong and effective relationship with the Almighty creator, Jesus Christ Glorified. "Knowledge is power to those who have it and use it."
