Download or read book Springs of Living Water written by David Samuel Young and published by Herald Press (VA). This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David S. Young approaches the need for renewal with a spiritual thrust and an active servant leader style. He gives systematic help in how to be a healthy church with an urgent mission. This manual helps a church cultivate its spiritual life, train leaders, and focus efforts in ministries which express its identity and call. Rather than the pastor working solo, a renewal team is trained that gets the entire congregation involved. The team works with the church to look at its strengths and discover new life. Rather than using a diagnostic model of church renewal, find out what is wrong and fix it, the process uses an affirmative model, find out what is right and builds upon it. This book is written from David Young's experience in pastoring in the local church, teaching in seminaries, leading cluster work, writing two books in the field, and keeping one foot planted in a church working on renewal. Young has learned, developed, lived, taught and tested this model.

Download or read book Living Waters written by Loring Bullard and published by Moon City Press. This book was released on 2020-07 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Living Waters: The Springs of Missouri, Loring Bullard explores the rich variety of Missouri springs, placing them in the state's patterns of settlement and development. From the founding of towns to the establishment of wagon-road rest stops to largely forgotten spas and resorts, Missouri springs were, and continue to be, centerpieces of the landscape. They were once cherished sources of drinking water, their purity unquestioned. They provided power for mills, stock water for manufacturing plants, and source waters for fish hatcheries. Their numbingly cold waters filled swimming pools and trout ponds at scores of camps and resorts, where Missourians escaped the summer heat. From the earliest times, springs were also sources of fascination. "Where does all that water come from? Why is it so cold?" Bullard gives us the science of spring hydrogeology; at the same time, he reminds us that springs were once revered symbols of renewal, purification, and everlasting life. They are no longer as central to the lives of Missourians. But are they still important to us? The answer to that question (and others) can be found in Living Waters.
Download or read book Living Waters from Ancient Springs written by Jason P. Van Vliet and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the Old Testament still relevant for Christians today? Which fountains of wisdom, which never-failing streams, which wells of joy-filled salvation are we missing out on, if we neglect the Old Testament (Prov 18:4; Amos 5:24; Isa 12:3)? In this celebratory volume, fifteen scholars collaborate to explain and expound diverse aspects of the Christian life, with a special focus on drawing lines from the Old Testament through the New Testament toward the daily reality of living together as pilgrims in the church of Christ. This book commemorates the retirement of Dr. Cornelis Van Dam, professor of Old Testament, from the Canadian Reformed Theological Seminary in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. For three decades, Dr. Van Dam taught seminary students to draw living water from the wells of salvation. All the contributors to this book have benefited in one way or another from his knowledge and instruction.
Download or read book Living Water written by Martyn Lloyd-Jones and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2009-01-14 with total page 732 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This substantial volume includes more than fifty never-before-published expository sermons on John 4 from one of the twentieth century's greatest preachers. It was just a conversation between two people by the side of a well in Samaria. One, a local woman, came to perform her daily task of drawing water. Another, a Jewish man tired from traveling, sat down for a drink. But he wasn't just any Jewish man, and this wasn't just any conversation. The man, Jesus, revealed himself as the Messiah, leading to the conversion of not only the Samaritan woman but many from her town. Now, for the first time, fifty-six sermons by Martyn Lloyd-Jones on this passage of Scripture are available in Living Water. Lloyd-Jones, known for his ability to clearly communicate profound theological concepts, digs into this familiar passage from the fourth chapter of the Gospel of John, exposing fresh layers of truth. His perceptive analysis is helpful for all who thirst for the living water that only Jesus can provide.
Download or read book Ancient Wells Living Water written by Rod Parsley and published by Creation House. This book was released on 2003 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Christians seem to have lost that old-time religion, and it has been replaced by doctrines that claim to be new and improved! Rod Parsley explains how believers today are drinking from polluted wells that were once built by the faith of our spiritual fathers. While readers may have been pushed down, pushed back or pushed aside by the enemy, God is about to push them through every line of Satan's defense of sickness, sin, depravity and disease! Parsley identifies the types of wells built by Abraham, Isaac, the apostle Paul, Martin Luther, E. M. Bounds, John Wesley, Charles Finney, John G. Lake and more. In this prophetic and timely message, Parsley encourages believers to stop trading living water for an imitation gospel that looks like godliness but denies the power of God.
Download or read book The Living Water written by O. P. Pierre-Thomas Dehau and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-01 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Living Water, one of Fr. Pierre-Thomas Dehau's many books, is a treatment of the contemplative life as the life of wisdom concerned with a mysterious reality, hidden and inaccessible to human powers alone. In these pages, the fruit of sixteen of his retreat conferences, Fr. Dehau guides the reader into an understanding of how to grow in union with God through charity and contemplation. The Living Water is essential reading for those who are living out a religious vocation, for those who are discerning the call to a religious vocation, and for parents who are educating their children in the school of virtue. CHECK OUT OUR OTHER BOOKS AT WWW.CLUNYMEDIA.COM "Books on vaguely-defined 'spiritualities' abound today, but it is rare to find a work of true spiritual theology, which explores with doctrinal rigor and pastoral sensitivity the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of believers. In these conferences preached to Benedictine contemplatives, Fr. Pierre-Thomas Dehau offers just that. This extended reflection on the living water of grace, the love of God poured out in the Holy Spirit through the Sacred Heart of Jesus, is deeply contemplative, drawing both heart and intellect into prayerful spiritual reading. The conferences are richly informed by Scripture and liturgy, and infused throughout with Thomas Aquinas's teaching on virtues, grace and freedom, and God's lavish self-gift in the Trinitarian indwelling. Fr. Dehau's energetic prose and practical examples reveal an insight into the subtle temptations and struggles which assail frail human beings called to the angelic life of contemplation, but urge simple trust in God whose designs for us are beyond imagining. These talks will inspire lay people too to drink more deeply from the fountain which springs up to eternal life. This retrieval of a French spiritual classic is a welcome source of substantive spiritual refreshment in a sometimes arid contemporary landscape." Daria Spezzano, Ph.D., Providence College

Download or read book Living Springs written by Jonathan Y. Martey and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-06-19 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time, the Lord Jesus stood by the well of Jacob in Samaria when a woman who had come to fetch water engaged Him in a conversation, as recorded in the Gospel according to Saint John, chapter four. This thirsty Samaritan woman had come to get natural water, but Jesus ended up offering her living water. The Samaritan woman said to Jesus, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming here to draw water.” The chapters of Living Springs: Refreshing the Soul have been drawn from deep wells of inspiration through prayer, worship, and the study of the Word of God. The chapters of Living Springs: Refreshing the Soul as well the contents of the chapters, centre on everyday issues of life. Each chapter ends with a prayer and suggested Scripture quotations for further meditation. But I believe that the Holy Spirit will breathe upon souls each time the pages of Living Springs: Refreshing the Soul are opened and read. I trust that each chapter of Living Springs: Refreshing the Soul will indeed reflect what the Lord said to the Samaritan woman: “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life” (John 4:13–14 NIV). The devotional pieces contained in Living Springs Refreshing the Soul are great sources of inspiration.. I recommend it. -Rev Dr. Philip Laryea I am confident Living Springs Refreshing the Soul is a Spirit-filled volume that will transform your life from glory to glory and I recommend it wholly. -Rev Nii Clottey Odonkor
Download or read book Living Water written by Obery Hendricks and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2004-01-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sprung from the pages of The New Testament, Living Water is a gripping and lyrical portrayal of a young women's search for identity set against the strict social confines of the time. This extraordinary first novel brings to life one of the most mysterious and intriguing characters in the Bible – the woman at the well. In a village torn apart by senseless violence, a young girl struggles to mute her passion for life to survive the harsh social restrictions of her people. Catapulted into a series of abusive marriages, she soon becomes a woman unrecognisable from the little girl she once was. After her fifth husband is found bloody and beaten, she emerges amid the scandal and accusations to try and reclaim her life. In the tradition of Their Eyes Are Watching God, The Color Purple and Paradise, Obery Hendricks uses both fine detail and broad strokes to crisply depict this period of early history. And in doing so, this sophisticated literary debut delivers a universal tale of liberation and reconciliation, love and faith.
Download or read book Streams of Living Water written by Richard J. Foster and published by HarperOne. This book was released on 1998-09-08 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Richard Foster founded RENOVARE (Latin for "to make new") for the purpose of encouraging long-term commitment to spiritual renewal and growth. Now, in this landmark work, he examines the foundation of Christian experience--six dimensions of faith and practice--and explains the unique contributions of each one. These great historical movements or "streams," as Foster calls them, are Contemplative, Holiness, Charismatic, Social Justice, Evangelical and Incarnational. Each stream emphasizes a different aspect of life and faith; for example, the Contemplative way is a prayer-filled life, while the way of Holiness is a life of virtue. Foster lifts up the enduring character of each tradition in the midst of constantly evolving faith. He shows how a variety of practices, from individual study and retreat to disciplines of service and community, are all essential elements of growth and maturity. What Foster ultimately discovers is that while each tradition is capable of providing spiritual growth, the most complete renewal can only come from combining the best from each tradition. Stream of Living Water integrates Foster's work in seeking the most complete, most fulfilling path to spiritual renewal. He identifies the strengths and weaknesses of each tradition and offers practical ways to incorporate these traditions in our daily life--offering his devoted readership a clear and tangible course to authentic Christian experience.

Book excerpt: Holy wells: Puddles in boggy fields? Medieval claptrap? Superstitious nonsense? John Musther and Alan Cleaver think not. They have tramped graveyards, road sides and muddy fields around Cumbria for many years. they found a tribute to belief in the presence of Christ and his Saints and the power of prayer. Some wells are still kept and cared for but most are a sorry sight. Many only just survive and call for restoration. Some wells have found local friends in recent years. Others have found a friend in Alan Cleaver who has raised the flag for them in both print and speech. In 2014, a small group sponsored by the Orthodox Church in Cumbria and by Grampus Heritage and funded by the European Union set out to clean up and restore what wells they could. This book is a fruit of their work so far.
