Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sign of Redemption tells the story of a Richie Harrison, an innocent CPA who lands behind bars in a Texas prison--the unwitting “wheelman” in an unexpected armed robbery. Harrison falls in love with Elizabeth McKenna, a lawyer there to help Harrison’s deaf friend, and thoughts of her--and the life he’s lost--begin to obsess him. He escapes, on horseback and across a raging river, and finds safety with a drug-dealing family while scheming to win his love. To woo her, Harrison drags McKenna on a destructive journey that transforms him into the criminal he never imagined he’d become. From the book: When I first got sent down, I thought about escaping every day, and every day I thought of the bullet that would pierce my back and exit through my breastbone in a bloody spray. I thought of myself tumbling out of a dead run, my legs buckling, my face hitting the pavement. Maybe I’m just a coward if all it takes to make a coward is a vivid imagination. But I wasn’t here long before I found out what it sounded like when the blood left the body in gurgling rushes.

Download or read book The Book of Revelation written by G. K. Beale and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09-07 with total page 1153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monumental commentary on the book of Revelation, originally published in 1999, has been highly acclaimed by scholars, pastors, students, and others seriously interested in interpreting the Apocalypse for the benefit of the church. Too often Revelation is viewed as a book only about the future. As G. K. Beale shows, however, Revelation is not merely a futurology but a book about how the church should live for the glory of God throughout the ages -- including our own. Engaging important questions concerning the interpretation of Revelation in scholarship today, as well as interacting with the various viewpoints scholars hold on these issues, Beale's work makes a major contribution in the much-debated area of how the Old Testament is used in the Apocalypse. Approaching Revelation in terms of its own historical background and literary character, Beale argues convincingly that John's use of Old Testament allusions -- and the way the Jewish exegetical tradition interpreted these same allusions -- provides the key for unlocking the meaning of Revelation's many obscure metaphors. In the course of Beale's careful verse-by-verse exegesis, which also untangles the logical flow of John's thought as it develops from chapter to chapter, it becomes clear that Revelation's challenging pictures are best understood not by apparent technological and contemporary parallels in the twentieth century but by Old Testament and Jewish parallels from the distant past.

Download or read book The Law of Redemption written by Kathleen Kaczmarek and published by . This book was released on 2016-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you serving God to get saved or because you are saved? "Shortly after God revealed to me that legalism was my problem, I fervently asked the Lord, "What must I do that if I keep doing it, and doing it, and doing it, I will get better and better and better?" That night, glory be to God, I was able to fall asleep. It was 5:30 in the morning when an audible voice woke me up saying, "What must one do to go to heaven?" The voice began as a man's voice and quickly transformed into a child's voice. The child's voice sounded a lot like my son Aaron's, so I scanned the bedroom to see if he had come in. No one was there. Aaron would have been about six years old and he had already received Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. I remember that all Aaron knew then was that if he had Jesus, he was going to heaven. That's all he knew. He had Jesus, so he was saved, period. That morning, God showed me a foundational truth. He showed me that the faith and disposition of a healthy Christian is that of a child: innocent, trusting, carefree. From that day on, I entered into a journey to learn how to become like a little child again. Someone who is innocent is free from condemnation, and someone who is trusting is free from care; he always expects to be accepted by his father regardless of his performance." --From Chapter 4, Kathleen Kaczmarek
