Book excerpt: The parable in Luke 15:17 can be seen from three angles. The dilemma of the shepherd is whether or not to leave the ninety-nine and go in search of the one lost sheep. It may not make sense economically and rationally, but he leaves them anyway and begins his search. The poor sheep has wandered away and is lostnot hopelessly so, but lost. The sheep does have hope, and it rests with the shepherd whose love for her is so vast and so relentless that he wont rest until he finds the sheep. And then theres the ninety-nine. Their attitude and behavior toward the lost sheep is paramount in the story. Will they join in the search? Will they celebrate with the shepherd once the sheep is returned? Or will they criticize and whine about how the shepherd spends all his time searching for the one who is lost? The One explores the foundational nature of this parable and how important its implications are for the church and ones own walk with the Lord. The value that God places on the one is life-changing for those who come to understand it. An intense and powerful vision shared through the lens of author Ronny Russells personal and professional spiritual journey. Authenticity is found in every paragraph that rings with empowering truth, inspiration, and encouragement for the one. I have watched Ronnys journey for decades and found his passion to be deep, contagious, and transformational for the one and the remnant who seek meaning in our fast-paced world filled with churches that often miss the one to preserve the institution. Ronny serves Christ above all and finds hope in Gods calling and gifting as a member of the body of Christ. Truly a worthy and engaging read!

Download or read book Picturing Christian Witness written by Stanley H. Skreslet and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2006-05-03 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christian mission in previous centuries often drew on images of imperial expansion and war. While few today would describe the gospel task in such imperialistic terms, have we developed appropriate alternate images to associate with the good news of Jesus Christ? In "Picturing Christian Witness" missiologist Stanley Skreslet searches for new, more holistic images of mission from Scripture. Undertaking a novel exegetical study of mission in the New Testament, he highlights five actions that depict the witness of Jesus' first followers: announcing good news, sharing Christ with friends, interpreting the gospel, shepherding, and building/planting. After carefully examining key biblical passages, Skreslet draws out the implications of these five images for the theology of mission and lets each image take shape visually through an array of Western and non-Western art. "Picturing Christian Witness" will provoke readers to imagine what mission will look like when actively embodied by contemporary disciples of Jesus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Will A Foolish Lie Beget A Fiery Love? Lady Serena Caraway had always prided herself on being sensible and level-headed. Yet when the estate she calls home passed from her late brother to a distant relation, Robin, the new Lord Caraway, Serena did a most foolish thing: She wrote to him at his residence abroad--not as a young lady, which would have been shocking enough, but in the guise of the Caraway Estate bailiff. She only meant to write once. She never intended to continue deceiving him. But his replies were so engaging, his grasp of every situation so keen, that before she knew it she had put pen to paper once more. Only now, Serena is at her wit's end. For Lord Caraway has returned to England and wants very much to know what has become of his bailiff. Which leaves Serena crossing swords with a tall, dark and devastatingly handsome earl who makes it dangerously clear that he won't rest until he uncovers the truth--and every other dazzling secret the mysterious and enticing Lady Caraway has to hide. . .

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1889, this work's protagonist Andrea Sperelli introduced the Italian culture to aestheticism and a taste for decadence. The young count seeks beauty, despises the bourgeois world, and rejects the basic rules of morality and social interaction. His corruption is evident in his sadistic superimposing of two women.

Download or read book The Life and Work of Ante Dabro Australian Croatian Sculptor written by Peter Read and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2023-12-05 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does a highly skilled and highly trained sculptor, the master of every style and technique, insist on working in the style of the Italian Renaissance? The answer is that to Dabro, every sculpture must speak to humanity, which means that it must be an element of humanity. If it does not, the sculptor has failed. Working with female models throughout his long life, he has sought to portray an essence of femininity, and therefore an essence of humanity. Ante Dabro believes that the ability to see what other people don’t see is a real gift. He says, ‘It’s like a star wheeling round the earth, fertilising the imagination as it goes.’ This book explores the different ways he has liberated an essence of humanity by releasing the soul of a human form from its imprisoning substance, whether it be from wood, marble, stone or plaster. The author, one of Australia’s best known historians and biographers, like Dabro, wants our imaginations to soar and rejoice in the creative spirit which has driven his sculptures for more than 60years.
