Download or read book Shocked by the Bible written by Joe Kovacs and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2008-09-28 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shocked by the Bible sets the record straight with well-researched, controversial, myth-breaking assertions about what the Bible really does—and doesn’t—say. And guess on which day the Bible says Jesus died. Believe it or not, the Good Book doesn't mention Friday, and even more surprisingly, while the Bible says Jesus rose from the grave, it does not say it occurred Sunday morning. Remember, Jesus' followers found an empty tomb then. But don't feel bad if you've always assumed otherwise. Like countless millions of people, you've just been misinformed, misled or even (dare we say) lied to about what the Bible actually says. In a stunning investigation, news veteran Joe Kovacs goes on a mission to help both Christians and non-Christians alike find out what the Bible really contains, and what it doesn't. "Shocked by the Bible: The Most Astonishing Facts You've Never Been Told" is an educational juggernaut that relies solely on the Holy Bible to reveal hundreds of Scriptural facts that many people of all persuasions simply don't know. The book instantly skyrocketed to the No. 1 position in three Bible-related categories on Amazon.com. "I'm among the biggest fans of the Bible of all time," says Kovacs. "My goal is to educate people about the solid truth of Scripture and to stop the spread of erroneous information. I want people to crack open their Bibles and see with their own eyes what's actually printed on the pages, and what's not. It's shocking!" According to Scripture, you won't find "Three Wise Men" mentioned anywhere in the story of Jesus' birth. For that matter, none are said to have shown up at the manger in Bethlehem. The truth straight from your own Bible is that an unspecified number of wise men first met Jesus as a "young child" in a "house," not a babe in a manger, and it might have been more than a year after He was born. Go ahead, look it up for yourself. Also, according to Scripture, you won't find a single mention of Easter eggs, but you will find God warning His people not to have anything to do with a pagan fertility goddess, whose name is synonymous with "Easter." "Yes, I'm a Bible-believing Christian," says Kovacs. "But I'm not here to convert anyone. People are free to believe whatever they wish and can come to their own conclusions. I just want to show them the biblical record is often very different from what many assume. Not only will Christians love this book, but I think Jews, Muslims and even agnostics and atheists will get a kick out of it as well."

Book excerpt: Have you ever delighted in the sweet, trusting face of a child? Did you notice the joy in her smile as you told all of the traditional Bible stories, assuring this little human that good would prevail over evil and that God loves her beyond measure? Unfortunately, you told her stories that hold no value in terms of completeness and candor. We are about to explore those Bible stories. Have you ever looked deeply into the eyes of a tearful child that got absolutely nothing for Christmas and didn't understand why? Were you able to explain why Santa didn't come? Why do we put children in this position?Sadly, most Christian children are taught to believe LIES---LIES such as the exciting stories of Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the heroic story of King David, and even the prayer promises of Jesus. The tales of the Bible are taught by parents who don't care enough or don't have time enough to verify their authenticity. Parents unabashedly repeat Bible stories that are romanticized and sanitized to the point of actually omitting vital scriptural details. We are about to expose those lies.

Download or read book Sought written by Jackson Crum and published by . This book was released on 2019-04-17 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes people think of God as uncaring and disengaged from the human experience. Other times, people think of God as angry and vengeful, looking for reasons to punish. Still others imagine God to be confusing, hard to understand, and harder to know. People don't often think of God as being near. God is not as distant as we make Him out to be. God does not sit on the sidelines waiting for people to come to Him. Instead, He pursues us. Jackson Crum wants people to know that truth. Using both personal stories and biblical narratives, Jackson invites you to understand the truth of a God who loves and pursues you. Experience the shocking goodness of the God who chases after you because you are sought... you are loved... you are known. Jackson Crum's heartbeat is for people to understand, in the simplest of terms, that they are known and loved by God. That truth changed the trajectory of his life while in college. Jackson loves exploring the world with his wife, Donna. He is a rabid sports fan who is unable to root for his teams with an "inside" voice, being convinced they can hear him through the TV. These days he is often found reading stories that rhyme with one or more of his six grandchildren with thanks to his two sons and their fabulous wives.

Download or read book Maps of Meaning written by Jordan B. Peterson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-09-11 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why have people from different cultures and eras formulated myths and stories with similar structures? What does this similarity tell us about the mind, morality, and structure of the world itself? From the author of 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos comes a provocative hypothesis that explores the connection between what modern neuropsychology tells us about the brain and what rituals, myths, and religious stories have long narrated. A cutting-edge work that brings together neuropsychology, cognitive science, and Freudian and Jungian approaches to mythology and narrative, Maps of Meaning presents a rich theory that makes the wisdom and meaning of myth accessible to the critical modern mind.

Download or read book Shocked by Blessing written by Rodney Phillip Thompson and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The authors are clear that the Bible matters. They have teamed to skilfully weave the stories of Scripture with the lives of contemporary people to shed the bright light of the Bible on our own lives. Their work is grounded in the Word written and the Word of life, Jesus Christ. "Blessing has to do with suffering and death and resurrection." This is the explosive challenge of this book for all Christians; indeed all people. It is an especially devastating notion for people whose world is one where personal comfort and well-being are regarded as a right. Challenging! And also the confronting truth."
