Book excerpt: A unique and essential feature of "To Curse the Root" is Rev. Sheppard''s anointed teaching gift that simplistically unfolds her spiritual scholarship to the average Christian layman, in such a way as to stir up a hunger for the word of God, causing the scriptures in the Bible to come alive. Those who have sat under her ministry or who have heard her audio messages on the website can attest to this truth about her anointing to teach. As both a preacher, a teacher, a pastor, a counselor and since 1996 an author, Rev. Sheppard boldly explores a theme rarely touched upon in Christiandom: the invisible conflict which is fought daily in the spiritual realm. In this the second edition of her first book on the subject, Rev. Sheppard explores an area of biblical truth for many readers who may never have considered the invisible forces, --- God, Satan, angels, and demons----fully at work in their everyday struggles to be set free from strongholds and bondages of all kinds. In this, her first book on the subject, emphasis is centered on how these invisible spiritual forces impact upon bondages of the soul in general, and the addictions, in particular. Never minimizing nor negating the value of the sobriety that 12 Step Programs have provided to those who were in a lifeline, Rev. Sheppard presents an alternative model,---Recovery In Christ (the RIC Program)--- for those who have truly become "born again" and who look to Jesus Christ as their Savior, their Lord and their God and not as "a higher power" among other powers. Not only for the addict, within these pages, the reader in search of spiritual growth will also find answers to questions concerning personal trials, tribulations and troubles, with helpful insights and strategies for victorious Christian living. Other books by Rev. Sheppard include "The Making of a Prophet: A Spiritual Indictment to the Organized Church" published by Author House in June, 2005 and her soon to be released third book called "Faces of the Religious Demon."

Evans embarks on a fairly high-level exploration of the difficulty of relying on the Bible to address modern concerns. She builds a case that the Bible is less conservative than many traditionalists assert. Evans's clear, heartfelt writing is a compassionate starting point for discussion.' Publishers Weekly (BookLife) "Superb second book by Cheryl B. Evans. So much great reading in What Does God Think? and it is so well presented. "Hallalujah" Well done." Award Winning Author, Viga Boland (No Tears For My Father). "What Does God Think? does a great job of beginning a conversation. One that does not judge or condemn but offers valuable thought provoking insights. Ultimately, it delivers a message of truth about God's unconditional love and purposeful creation of each of us. As I have always believed, we are all part of the story which rises out of God's love and Jesus' teachings, transcending time. Love is like that. Good teaching is like that. They have iconoclastic power to draw humanity to the good however slow the process may be. This book has the power to bring comfort and spiritual healing to individuals seeking to understand how being transgender is not against God. It was a privilege to review What Does God Think? and in doing so I have expanded my knowledge about transgender people." The Reverend Dr. Janet Brigham Reader Review: "A must read for Christian Transgender issues I thought I was going to have to walk away from Christianity when my son came out as trans. There is hope that some people are open minded in the church." Edward. "This book perfectly sums up the seemingly inconsistent struggle between transgender people, the Christian Church, and God. Conflicting views abound and its easy to get confused especially when raising a transgender child yourself, having praised and loved God your whole life, only to be told by some that your child simply isn’t good enough or is actually possessed by demons. This book will dispel fears and gives a good wholesome perspective on the situation. Just breath, continue to love God, continue to love your child, and don’t let ‘other people’s opinions’ confuse you. Highly recommended." Catirona Borman

Book excerpt: Authors Christine Colón and Bonnie Field thought that by a certain age they would each be married. But they watched that age come and go--and still no walks down the aisle. In Singled Out, they reflect on their experience--and that of an increasing number of Christians. Rejecting overly simplistic messages from the church about "waiting for marriage," they explore a deeper understanding of celibacy that affirms singles' decision to be sexually pure, acknowledges their struggles, and recognizes their importance in the church community. Thoughtful and accessible, Singled Out is an invaluable voice of realistic encouragement for any single as well as an important tool for church leaders and others concerned with mission and ministry for singles.

Download or read book Good Christian Sex written by Bromleigh McCleneghan and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-07-05 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moving beyond the deep-seated cultural feelings of shame that have long fueled the conflict between Christianity and sex—and the belief that there is only one right and valid way to practice one’s sexuality—this renowned University of Chicago pastor uses enlightening personal stories and examples from theology to show how sex is powerful and holy. For years, Christians have been told to adhere to one singular path when it comes to sex: abstinence and purity. Yet this limited focus ignores the reality that people’s sexual and romantic lives differ widely, even among those who consider themselves devout believers. Church leaders have often refused to address the topic—or have preached in ways that are harmful to the emotional and spiritual growth of the faithful in the pews. Pastor McCleneghan is determined to reshape the issue—and fundamentally transcend this disconnect between sexuality and spirituality that has left many Christians feeling guilty and sinful. Written in her measured, non-judgmental voice, Good Christian Sex combines humorous personal anecdotes with theological research to transform how Christians think and talk about this basic human need, offering a new understanding that reconciles human love and religious faith. Breaking with outdated conventions, McCleneghan explains how the Bible and Christian tradition inform our beliefs about desire, pleasure, nudity, fidelity, premarital sex, and the variety of sexual practices, and encourages Christians to talk about their bodies, their sensuality, and their longings in a frank, positive, and realistic way. Warm, insightful, and honest, Good Christian Sex is a message of hope, that at last lifts the veil of shame felt by many religious people.

Download or read book The New A List written by Dianna Hobbs and published by . This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corporately-backed media has set up members of the Hollywood A-list as modern-day gods, molding everything from the values of society, to the sexual behaviors of an entire generation, and contributing to the erosion of the moral fiber of a nation. But a cultural shift is happening. A new army of A-listers, with the "A" representing abstinence, is arising and standing up for sexual purity, in a sex-crazed culture. In The New A-list, author Dianna Hobbs highlights and mobilizes a new crop of leaders, who are determined to lift the taboo off abstinence and virginity. Through research, biblical and practical principles, and personal stories, readers will discover how to effectively counter immoral culture, become positive change agents, and personally adopt a successful lifestyle of purity.

Download or read book Costly Obedience written by Mark A. Yarhouse and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2019-06-25 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though we often hear about the "gay problem" today, there is an even deeper problem in the church today--one that we often overlook. The call to follow Christ is a call to costly obedience for all, not just for gay Christians. Far too often, the church has elevated homosexuality above other sins and required a costly obedience from gays that it is unwilling to demand of others. And yet, the answer is not to weaken the demands of obedience. Instead, gay Christians who make the difficult choice to align their lives with the biblical view of sexuality are a gift to the church, reminding all of us that spiritual growth and maturity is costly. There is a price to pay in following Christ and devoting our lives to the call of the gospel, and it is one that we all must pay--gay and straight Christians alike. Through the stories and struggles of gay Christians who are reorienting their lives around the costly obedience required to follow Christ, Mark Yarhouse and Olya Zaporozhets call the church to reorient as well, leaving behind the casual morality that is widespread today to pursue the path of radical discipleship. Unlike any other book on homosexuality and the church, this is a call to examine your life and consider what God is asking you to lay down to take up your cross and follow him.
