Book excerpt: New from Best-Selling Author John Piper From Genesis to Revelation, the providence of God directs the entire course of redemptive history. Providence is "God's purposeful sovereignty." Its extent reaches down to the flight of electrons, up to the movements of galaxies, and into the heart of man. Its nature is wise and just and good. And its goal is the Christ-exalting glorification of God through the gladness of a redeemed people in a new world. Drawing on a lifetime of theological reflection, biblical study, and practical ministry, pastor and author John Piper leads us on a stunning tour of the sightings of God's providence—from Genesis to Revelation—to discover the allencompassing reality of God's purposeful sovereignty over all of creation and all of history. Piper invites us to experience the profound effects of knowing the God of all-pervasive providence: the intensifying of true worship, the solidifying of wavering conviction, the strengthening of embattled faith, the toughening of joyful courage, and the advance of God's mission in this world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Moses to Jesus, so many heroes of the Bible had to endure some type of wilderness season in their life, a time of testing that was painful to endure but ultimately brought glory to God. In Wilderness Skills for Women, rising author/speaker Marian Jordan sees the same thing happening today as she and her friends still find themselves going through periods of isolation, temptation, sorrow, and waiting. Whether it’s relationship drama, the constant pull of our sinful nature, a health issue, or any variety of unmet dreams, Jordan turns readers to God’s Word as the ultimate wilderness survival guide. Conversational and self-deprecatingly confessional in her delivery, this young writer finds ways to have fun with delicate subject matters, using wilderness analogies to great effect in chapters titled "Drink Plenty of Water," "Seek Shelter," and "Don’t Eat the Red Berries."

Download or read book Think written by John Piper and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2013-04-23 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book to help Christians to think about thinking. Focusing on the life of the mind helps us to know God better, love him more, and care for the world. Along with an emphasis on emotions and the experience of God, we also need to practise careful thinking about God. Piper contends that 'thinking is indispensable on the path to passion for God'. So how are we to maintain a healthy balance of mind and heart, thinking and feeling? Piper urges us to think for the glory of God. He demonstrates from Scripture that glorifying God with our minds and hearts is not either-or, but both-and. Thinking carefully about God fuels passion and affections for God. Likewise, Christ-exalting emotion leads to disciplined thinking. Readers will be reminded that 'the mind serves to know the truth that fuels the fires of the heart'.

Download or read book Creation and the Sovereignty of God written by Hugh J. McCann and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-20 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creation and the Sovereignty of God brings fresh insight to a defense of God. Traditional theistic belief declared a perfect being who creates and sustains everything and who exercises sovereignty over all. Lately, this idea has been contested, but Hugh J. McCann maintains that God creates the best possible universe and is completely free to do so; that God is responsible for human actions, yet humans also have free will; and ultimately, that divine command must be reconciled with natural law. With this distinctive approach to understanding God and the universe, McCann brings new perspective to the evidential argument from evil.

Download or read book In His Time Trusting God Beyond Our Timetables written by Rick Anton and published by Rick Anton. This book was released on with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to "In His Time: Trusting God Beyond Our Timetables," a journey into understanding and embracing the divine timing of God. In our fast-paced world, where immediacy is often prized over patience, and results are demanded on tight schedules, the concept of waiting on God’s timing can be both challenging and counterintuitive. Yet, the Bible repeatedly shows us that God does not operate according to human schedules. His ways and thoughts are higher than ours, and His timing is always perfect, though often mysterious from our limited perspective. This book explores why God's timing often diverges so significantly from our own expectations and how this reality calls us to deeper faith and trust in Him. Through 20 chapters, we delve into biblical stories, contemporary testimonies, and practical guidance to uncover the richness of waiting on God and the profound spiritual growth that comes from trusting in His timeline. Each chapter is designed to offer insights into different aspects of God's timing: We begin by examining biblical narratives that highlight God's impeccable timing in the lives of His people. We explore the spiritual discipline of patience and how it is cultivated in the believer's life. We consider the challenges and rewards of waiting, including how delays can serve as periods of preparation for future blessings. We discuss practical ways to foster a community that supports one another during times of waiting. Finally, we learn to recognize and celebrate God's timing, encouraging a culture of testimony that affirms His faithfulness. "In His Time: Trusting God Beyond Our Timetables" is not just about waiting; it's about understanding the purpose behind the wait and the transformation that occurs within us as we learn to align our lives with God's sovereign plans. Whether you find yourself in a season of waiting, seeking answers, or simply desiring a deeper understanding of God's ways, this book is intended to guide, encourage, and inspire you to trust in the One who created time yet is not bound by it. Let us embark on this journey together, with open hearts and minds ready to receive what God has in store for us, in His perfect timing.

Download or read book Asylum Seekers Sovereignty and the Senses of the International written by Eeva Puumala and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-11-25 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The confrontation between asylum seeking and sovereignty has mainly focused on ways in which the movement and possibilities of refugees and migrants are limited. In this volume, instead of departing from the practices of governance and surveillance, Puumala begins with the moving body, its engagements and relations and examines different ways of seeing and sensing the struggle between asylum seekers and sovereign practices. Puumala asserts that our political imagination is being challenged in its ways of ordering, practicing and thinking about the international and those relations we call international. The issues relating to asylum seekers are one example of the deficiencies in the spatiotemporal logic upon which these relations were originally built; words such as ‘nation’, ‘people’, ‘sovereignty’ and ‘community’ are challenged. Conventional methods of governing, regulating and administering increased forms of mobility are in trouble, which gives rise to the invention of new technologies at borders and introduces regulations and spaces of exception. Based on extensive fieldwork that sheds light on a range of Europe-wide practices in the field of asylum and migration policies, this book will be of interest to scholars of IR theory, biopolitics and migration, as well as critical security more broadly.
