Download or read book Raise My Ebenezer written by Richard Gerald Shrubb and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2021-07-08 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Rogers becomes a tainted James Bond and descends the moral allegory of Dante’s Inferno. This is a novel of personal maturation, social vigilantism, and spiritual redemption all mixed in a pot of poetic justice and viewed through the lens of traditional literary fancy. Told through the artistry of dual story lines and montage with a little bit of romance and self-help reflection on the side, Raise Mine Ebenezer is a folksy Alfred Hitchcock style thriller, not so much about who done it as it is about the anxiety of wondering what will happen next and can justice ever be served.

Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.

This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.
