Download or read book Smooth Stones written by Joe Coffey and published by Cruciform Press. This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Street-level apologetics for everyday Christians. This book was written for two reasons: First, too many people think believing in Christianity means blind faith, against all evidence, the way a child believes in Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy. Nothing could be further from the truth. Second, every few years a new book intended to undermine Christianity becomes a best seller and shakes the faith of many. Yet the arguments in these books are rarely compelling. Jesus likened faith in God to a house built on a foundation. If built on sand, storms of doubt will tear the house apart. But if we build on a solid foundation, we will stand. In these pages, Joe Coffey inspects our foundation -- so we can know why we believe, and so we can speak of our faith to others with greater confidence and clarity. The conclusion? The Christian faith is built on a tremendous amount of credible evidence. You don't need to be a scientist, an historian, an archeologist, or a philosopher to understand why belief in Jesus makes perfect sense. Think of the last time an unbeliever asked you a seemingly unanswerable question as a way of supporting their unbelief. Did you feel thwarted in your attempt to "give an account for the hope that is in you"? Smooth Stones answers six of the toughest of these questions: How do you know God exists? How can you be sure the Bible is authentic and true? If God exists, why is there evil and suffering? Doesn't science disprove the Bible? Aren't all religions the same? How can you be sure the claims of Christ are true? Joe Coffey writes in a style that is clear, winsome, and compelling. Smooth Stones will equip you with answers to some of the toughest apologetics questions a Christian can face. There is plenty of evidence to support the claims of Christianity. Smooth Stones puts much of that evidence at your fingertips and offers practical guidelines for how to unpack it in ways that are "gentle and reverent."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whereas much of the current literature on pastoring stresses up-to-date training and new techniques stemming from the behavioral sciences, Eugene Peterson here calls for returning to an "old" resource--the Bible--as the basis for all of pastoral ministry.

Download or read book Five Smooth Stones written by Larry LaDell Robertson and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Going through the motions will never deliver amazing and transformational results, in your business, your career, nor your spiritual life. To achieve the legal and God-given right to life, freedom and happiness, every assumption, every belief, every habit, and every tradition that has become your experience must be challenged. Our assumptions about the purpose of people and relationships in our lives, our beliefs about who we are and who God is, our habits and routines in the daily navigation of our experience, and the traditions of worship, church, and spirituality should be appraised to ensure they are potent, powerful, and purposeful in bringing the happiness, health and wealth we innately desire. So what are these smooth stones? These stones are the foundation of our relationship with God. They are the firm truths about God, others, and ourselves we’ve tested and know for sure. We use them as tools to learn, advance, and propel us to the happiness, health, and prosperity we were created to inherit and experience as children of God. Like David, we use these stones as weapons, against our personal Goliaths; giant challenges, threats and illusions of lack, sickness, and distress whether imposed by others or ourselves. These stones are also reminders of how we’ve grown and matured from the lessons we’ve learned through our experiences. We lay these stones down and walk on them on this road of salvation and success. In his inaugural book, Five Smooth Stones: What I Know About God for Sure, Larry shares his journey from religious complacency to spiritual empowerment. Through metaphysical interpretation of scripture, valuable spiritual educational insights, and candid storytelling, this first-time author leads us through his journey to spiritual accountability and empowerment. For the believer and non-believer as well, this provocative essay will compel you to start, resume, or refocus your relationship with God.

Download or read book Stories in Stone written by David B. Williams and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2019-08-19 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people do not think to observe geology from the sidewalks of a major city, but all David B. Williams has to do is look at building stone in any urban center to find a range of rocks equal to any assembled by plate tectonics. In Stories in Stone, he takes you on explorations to find 3.5-billion-year-old rock that looks like swirled pink-and-black taffy, a gas station made of petrified wood, and a Florida fort that has withstood three hundred years of attacks and hurricanes, despite being made of a stone that has the consistency of a granola bar. Williams also weaves in the cultural history of stone, explaining why a white fossil-rich limestone from Indiana became the only building stone used in all fifty states; how in 1825, the construction of the Bunker Hill Monument led to America’s first commercial railroad; and why when the same kind of marble used by Michelangelo clad a Chicago skyscraper it warped so much after nineteen years that all 44,000 panels of it had to be replaced. This love letter to building stone brings to life the geology you can see in the structures of every city.
