Download or read book Not Sure written by John D. Suk and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2011-09-02 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2002, while touring North America with his wife in an RV, John Suk -- lifelong Christian, longtime pastor, and noted leader in the Christian Reformed Church -- experienced a crippling crisis of faith. He emerged from that dark time with a strange new gift -- doubt. In Not Sure Suk takes readers on an eyes-wide-open, deeply personal voyage through the past and present of Christian belief, reexamining Christian faith -- in his own life and in fifteen centuries of Christian history -- through a skeptic's eyes. He exposes major pitfalls of modern Christian movements and questions what he considers to be faulty paradigms: the "personal relationship with Jesus," the "health-and-wealth gospel," and traditional ethnicity-based belief systems. In the end he is left clinging to what is for him a truer, wiser kind of faith in Jesus Christ -- faith that struggles and lives with doubt.

Download or read book Gently Awakened written by Sara Joseph and published by Deep River Books LLC. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you dare risk unreservedly combining your Christian faith with your creativity? Could you be assured of thriving in the arts, or does that sound outrageously improbable?Sadly, too many Christians abandon their creativity, as if they were the hapless recipients of a toy with incomprehensible instructions, thus walking away from their destiny-their very reason for being gifted in such a time as this. They remain oblivious of their God-authored potential, empowered by faith, to uniquely express the many nuances of their journey with Jesus. What Sara Joseph discovered may surprise you. An artist in paint, clay, and verse, Sara testifies to God's infinite interest in every aspect of her creative enterprise. In Gently Awakened, she employs prose, verse, and art to attest to God's faithfulness, even to the artist. Far from empty theories, these lessons, forged in the paint-splattered laboratory of her own life, bring clarity to the practical considerations of living out the unique call of a creative Christian. Such a story could be yours to live, in partnership with your Creator. "May you be inspired to weave your own powerful testimony either in words, art, or your very life itself. Mull over my story and then swirl it into the palette of your own life, with its unique and dynamic colors. None of us have all the answers, but we know the One who does."-Sara Joseph, artist and author Creativity is like an unwrapped gift from God. Its contents are mysterious, begging for action. The benevolent Giver eagerly awaits a response. Yet it is often tossed aside after merely removing the outer wrapping. Sara Joseph's story will inspire you to become fully creative and alive in Him. Regardless of the unexpected twists and turns of that journey, you may be assured of His impeccable care!

Book excerpt: At the end of the 1830s the abolitionist sisters Sarah and Angelina Grimké, along with Angelina’s new husband, Theodore Weld, begin collecting first-hand accounts of the horrors of slavery and publishing them in American Slavery as It Is. The success of the book helps to move northern opinion against slavery. But the birth of children and the challenges of domestic lives mean the sisters set aside their public roles as voices against slavery and for women’s rights. Turning inward sets the sisters into painful conflict with each other. Teens Archibald and Francis Grimké, sons of Angelina and Sarah’s brother, Henry Grimké and his colored mistress, Nancy Weston, have barely survived the unspeakable hardships of slavery. They make their way to freedom in the North, but education proves elusive. Eventually their excellence as students at Lincoln University leads to their surprising revelation to their abolitionist aunts. At Harvard Law and at Princeton Theological, the young men embark on difficult but illustrious careers. But the end of Reconstruction means a renewed struggle for African American freedom and rights. The romantic and domestic heartbreaks of Archie and Frank are intertwined with their lifelong struggle for the survival and equal rights of their people.

Download or read book God or Nothing written by Robert Sarah and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2015-08-07 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The idea of putting Magisterial teaching in a beautiful display case while separating it from pastoral practice, which then could evolve along with circumstances, fashions, and passions, is a sort of heresy, a dangerous schizophrenic pathology. I therefore solemnly state that the Church in Africa is staunchly opposed to any rebellion against the teaching of Jesus and of the Magisterium. . . . The Church of Africa is committed in the name of the Lord Jesus to keeping unchanged the teaching of God and of the Church." — Robert Cardinal Sarah In this fascinating autobiographical interview, one of the most prominent and outspoken Catholic Cardinals gives witness to his Christian faith and comments on many current controversial issues. The mission of the Church, the joy of the gospel, the “heresy of activism”, and the definition of marriage are among the topics he discusses with wisdom and eloquence. Robert Cardinal Sarah grew up in Guinea, West Africa. Inspired by the missionary priests who made great sacrifices to bring the Faith to their remote village, his parents became Catholics. Robert discerned a call to the priesthood and entered the seminary at a young age, but due to the oppression of the Church by the government of Guinea, he continued his education outside of his homeland. He studied in France and nearby Senegal. Later he obtained a licentiate in theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, followed by a licentiate in Sacred Scripture at the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum of Jerusalem. At the age of thirty-four he became the youngest Bishop in the Catholic Church when John Paul II appointed him the Archbishop of Conakry, Guinea, in 1979. His predecessor had been imprisoned by the Communist government for several years, and when Archbishop Sarah was targeted for assassination John Paul II called him to Rome to be Secretary of the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples. In 2010 Pope Benedict XVI named him Cardinal and appointed him Prefect of the Pontifical Council Cor Unum. Pope Francis made him Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments in 2014.
