Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A healthy ocean is home to many different kinds of animals. They can be big, like a whale, tiny, like a shrimp, and even scary, like a shark. Even though sharks can be scary, we need them to keep the oceans healthy. Unfortunately, due to overfishing, many shark species are in danger of extinction, and that can cause big problems in the oceans and even on land. What would happen if this continued and sharks disappeared completely? Artist Lily Williams explores how the disappearance would affect other animals across the whole planet in this clever book about the importance of keeping sharks, and our oceans, healthy.
Download or read book Lent in Plain Sight written by Jill J. Duffield and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2020-01-14 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is often at work through the ordinary: ordinary people, ordinary objects, ordinary grace. Through the ordinary, God communicates epiphanies, salvation, revelation, and reconciliation. It is through the mundane that we hear Gods quiet voice. In this devotion for the season of Lent, Jill J. Duffield draws readers attention to ten ordinary objects that Jesus would have encountered on his way to Jerusalem: dust, bread, the cross, coins, shoes, oil, coats, towels, thorns, and stones. In each object, readers will find meaning in the biblical account of Jesus final days. Each week, readers encounter a new object to consider through Scripture, prayer, and reflection. From Ash Wednesday to Easter, Lent in Plain Sight reminds Christians to open ourselves to the kingdom of God.

Download or read book Anatomy of Innocence Testimonies of the Wrongfully Convicted written by Laura Caldwell and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2017-03-28 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recalling the great muckrakers of the past, an outraged team of America’s best-selling writers unite to confront the disasters of wrongful convictions. Wrongful convictions, long regarded as statistical anomalies in an otherwise sound justice system, now appear with frightening regularity. But few people understand just how or why they happen and, more important, the immeasurable consequences that often haunt the lucky few who are acquitted, years after they are proven innocent. Now, in this groundbreaking anthology, fourteen exonerated inmates narrate their stories to a roster of high-profile mystery and thriller writers—including Lee Child, Sara Paretsky, Laurie R. King, Jan Burke and S. J. Rozan—while another exoneree’s case is explored in a previously unpublished essay by legendary playwright Arthur Miller. An astonishing and unique collaboration, these testimonies bear witness to the incredible stories of innocent men and women who were convicted of serious crimes and cast into the maw of a vast and deeply flawed American criminal justice system before eventually, and miraculously, being exonerated. Introduced by best-selling authors Scott Turow and Barry Scheck, these master storytellers capture the tragedy of wrongful convictions as never before and challenge readers to confront the limitations and harsh realities of the American criminal justice system. Lee Child tells of Kirk Bloodsworth, who obsessively read about the burgeoning field of DNA testing, cautiously hoping that it held the key to his acquittal—until he eventually became the first person to be exonerated from death row based on DNA evidence. Judge John Sheldon and author Gayle Lynds team up to share Audrey Edmunds’s experience raising her children long distance from her prison cell. And exoneree Gloria Killian recounts to S. J. Rozan her journey from that fateful "knock on the door" and the initial shock of accusation to the scars she carries today. Together, the powerful stories collected within the Anatomy of Innocence detail every aspect of the experience of wrongful conviction, as well as the remarkable depths of endurance sustained by each exoneree who never lost hope.

While taking care to keep Nocent's voice, the revision provides: a brief introduction, placing the commentary in its historical context; annotations that provide a bridge between Nocent's day and our own; explanatory notes on history, culture, language, and liturgy where needed; gender-inclusive language where appropriate; liturgical texts that conform to The Roman Missal, Third Edition.

Download or read book The Genius of Jesus written by Erwin Raphael McManus and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking manifesto decoding the phenomenon of genius through the life of Jesus of Nazareth, revealing the untapped potential within every human being—from the bestselling author of The Artisan Soul, The Last Arrow, and The Way of the Warrior. “IF ALL GENIUS IS TOUCHED BY MADNESS, THEN IT IS ALSO TOUCHED BY THE DIVINE.” In every realm of our existence—art, science, technology, mathematics—we are captivated by stories of genius. Geniuses violate the status quo, destabilize conventional ways of thinking, and ultimately disrupt history by making us see the world differently. Genius is that rare expression of human capacity that seems to touch the divine. Jesus of Nazareth is undeniably one of the most influential figures ever to have walked the face of the earth. Yet his life as a work of genius has yet to be excavated and explored. In The Genius of Jesus, Erwin Raphael McManus examines the person of Jesus not simply through the lens of his divinity, but as a man who radically changed the possibility of what it means to be human. Drawing on the phenomenon of genius and the phenomenon of Jesus, McManus leads us to see this momentous figure in a new and life-altering way. Genius always leaves clues, and The Genius of Jesus follows those clues so that you can discover your own personal genius. McManus dives into the nuances of Jesus’s words and actions, showing how they can not only inspire us but revolutionize how we think about power, empathy, meaning, beauty, and truth. This work is for anyone who seeks to transform their life from the mundane to the transcendent—for anyone who longs to awaken the genius within. The Genius of Jesus is a thought-provoking exploration of the most controversial and influential figure who ever lived, and a guide for you to discover how his genius can live in you.
Download or read book Common Worship Lectionary written by Austin Farrer and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2024-05-16 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Common Worship Lectionary first came into use, many short preaching aids have been published. They have ranged from brief notes to almost complete sermons. This new companion offers an understanding of some points of significance in each lection for every Sunday and for other major days. It combines the latest scholarship with the conviction that the text should address today's world, squarely facing up to the difficulties that some passages may present to modern congregations. It does not aim to provide a substitute for sermon preparation, but to stimulate reflection among those engaged in this work. This is a serious academic commentary on the readings, by scholars who are also aware of the demands and purposes of preaching. The book - provides the academic background knowledge essential for interpreting the texts; does not shirk difficult questions; stimulates the prospective preacher to see new ways of reading the text; covers the Anglican variations not dealt with in American commentaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My friend, have you not wondered why it seems the church is losing relevance on earth? Does it not bother you that the church is fast becoming obsolete in this 'jet age'? Do you not stop to wonder why not so many Christians are inventors and innovators in the world today when the Bible said that 'deliverers' should come from Zion? Is it not a matter to ponder why the church seems to be immune or excluded from solving societal problems? Don't you think it's time to stop and ponder why the church seems to be an exclusive club for saints and not a clinic for sinners and the lost? This book will answer these questions and why they even happened to be points of concern in the first place.I wrote this book to clear up the man-made confusion and ignorance of trying to make the church the central focus and pursuit of Christians. By the end of this book, your theology and viewpoint about the place of the church in the plans and purpose of God must have been thrown away. We are the problem; man has made the church the absolute and made the Kingdom relative in comparison and in function - that right there is the problem and until that impression is corrected the church will keep dwindling till the point of total collapse and irrelevance. So, my dear friends, that is the reason for writing this book. I want to help you clarify and correct this juxtaposition of the church in place of the Kingdom. This book is meant to right that wrong and correct that dangerous trend the church is experiencing. I believe you will find this book very helpful in your walk with God and your participation in the body of Christ, the church. Are you ready for a transformation? In this book you'll discover: Explaining the absolutism and relativism of the Kingdom and the church The Kingdom - God's government and reality The Kingdom - God's dream for man and the earth The place and role of the church The church is called out to be different and not secluded Church enterprises The Kingdom is supreme and unquestionable The church is created to advance the Kingdom The Kingdom will judge the church Churches come and go, but the Kingdom abides forever
