Download or read book Pursuing Life with a Shepherd s Heart written by Ken Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2012-03-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If someone compared you to a sheep, how would you feel? We "count sheep," act "sheepish," and "flock" to anything new and intriguing. During more than a dozen years of experience in tending sheep on their Minnesota "hobby farm," Ken and Ardie Johnson discovered astounding similarities between people and sheep. "Pursuing Life With a Shepherd's Heart" captures touching and hilarious stories about Ken's adventures as an amateur shepherd caring for wayward, helpless, foolish sheep - clearly illustrating, like it or not, we really are like sheep, as the Bible asserts. These experiences with the habits and foibles of the sometimes wayward members of his flock helped Ken and his family to better understand their own sheep-like traits, as well as learn how to become more effective shepherds - at home, in the workplace, in the community, and in all kinds of relationships. In this book Ken shares the rich insights he gained from his wooly friends, all of which abound in practical application for everyday living. In addition, the real-life truths they observed from the sheep taught Ken and his family much about their relationship with God -- principles that can benefit all of us.

Download or read book Gentle and Lowly written by Dane C. Ortlund and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.
Download or read book Radical written by David Platt and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.
Download or read book Charles Simeon of Cambridge written by Hugh Evan Hopkins and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-01-24 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Simeon ministered for over fifty years in one parish at the heart of Cambridge during the bleak period of English national life between the French Wars and the passing of the Reform Bill. He was considered by Lord Macaulay to have had greater influence on the life of the church than any primate. Soundly converted in his first term at King's College, he was appointed Vicar of Holy Trinity in 1782, combining the incumbency with a Fellowship and various academic posts. Highly unpopular at first on account of both his message and his manner, scorned and abused for many years, he carried on regardless of other's opinions until in the end he became perhaps the best known and best respected name in Cambridge. Hot-tempered but warm-hearted, impetuous but infinitely patient, a man of imposing, even remarkable appearance, he was a "character," about whom the most entertaining stories are eagerly recounted. As a Christian of independent mind and strong convictions, he found his spiritual strength in a lifetime of deep devotion and strict personal discipline; as a biblical preacher he was the first for many generations to see the possibility and importance of teaching others how to expound the Scriptures; as a pastor and evangelist his work with both town and gown was marked by a rare faithfulness and zeal. Limited all his life to the one center of spiritual activity, he yet was the moving spirit in the formation of the Church Missionary Society, and an enthusiastic supporter of the Bible Society and of work among the Jews.
