Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a wife, mother and grandmother, college graduate and retired government employee for a large school district; I have seen women and girls, battered, misused and abused. I've witnessed babies having babies and the institution called family destroyed. And because of this, it is extremely difficult for me to continue to watch young girls release so much negative energy. Life's circumstances and choices have somehow become chaotic and out of control. However, this little book centers around relief, escape and freedom from pain ONLY when you come into the knowledge of how important you are to yourself, your personal belief and your moral values. It has to be either Your Man, "Your Boo" or God's promise. Why not God's promise? He does not see you for who you are right now but He see what you will become. There is a call out there that hinges on your self-worth. You are the queen of the earth and God is calling on you to refuse the nature of any emotional and physical ties that will not allow you to rise up. You are all my babies and no matter what cards life has dealt you, get up and redefine who you are. Get up and clothe yourselves in righteousness and allow God to take you by the hand and catapult you into your divine destiny. This self-help book is to encourage young girls and women to rise up from the society-dictated beliefs about body image to become strong in their convictions of self, brought forth through Jesus' sacrifice. Hugs & Kisses Karen D'Chelle"
Download or read book Christology in Mark s Gospel Four Views written by J. R. Daniel Kirk and published by Zondervan Academic. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gain Insights on Mark's Christology from Today's Leading Scholars The Gospel of Mark, widely assumed to be the earliest narrative of Jesus's life and the least explicit in terms of Christology, has long served as a worktable for the discovery of Christian origins and developing theologies. The past ten years of scholarship have seen an unprecedented shift toward an early, high Christology, the notion that very early in the history of the Jesus movement his followers worshipped him as God. Other studies have challenged this view, arguing that Mark's story is incomplete, intentionally ambiguous, or presents Jesus in entirely human terms. Christology in Mark's Gospel: Four Views brings together key voices in conversation in order to offer a clear entry point into early Christians' understanding of Jesus's identity: Sandra Huebenthal (Suspended Christology), Larry W. Hurtado (Mark's Presentation of Jesus; with rejoinder by Chris Keith), J. R. Daniel Kirk (Narrative Christology of a Suffering King), and Adam Winn (Jesus as the YHWH of Israel in the Gospel of Mark). Each author offers a robust presentation of their position, followed by lively interaction with the other contributors and one "last-word" rejoinder. The significance of this discussion is contextualized by the general editor Anthony Le Donne's introduction and summarized in the conclusion. The CriticalPoints Series offers rigorous and nuanced engagement between today's best scholars for advancing the scholarship of tomorrow. Like its older sibling, the CounterPoints Series, it provides a forum for comparison and critique of different positions, focusing on critical issues in today's Christian scholarship: in biblical studies, in theology, and in philosophy.
Download or read book Varieties of Jesus Mythicism written by John W. Loftus and published by Ockham Publishing Group. This book was released on 2022-06-29 with total page 1072 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To most people on the planet, the existence of Jesus is a given: “Of course he did!” They take it for granted that he existed simply because it reaffirms their faith. But to the rest of us who don't believe in a supernatural Jesus, the question of the historicity of Jesus is not simple. There are thousands of different ideas about to what extent the Jesus tales were based on a real man, or men, or woman... Did Jesus even exist, and if not, what best explains the rise of such a character in the New Testament? That is where John W. Loftus and Robert M. Price come in. Each with decades of experience in the fields of theology and Christian history, Loftus and Price have compiled essays from some of the top authorities on Jesus mythicism to establish the world's first academic catalogue of mythicist beliefs. Experts who provided chapters include David Fitzgerald, Joseph Atwill, Michael Lockwood, and more! The question is no longer simply, "Did Jesus even exist?" In this compilation, you'll find yourself questioning everything about the Christ story and how it truly began.

Download or read book Little Girl Get Up written by Rick Malwitz and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2023-03-09 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story is told in the New Testament book of Mark about a paralyzed man brought to Jesus, who was ministering in a crowded house in Capernaum. Unable to bring the man through a jammed doorway, four guys took him to the roof. I imagine they peeled away the tiles, created an opening, held the four corners of an old sail and lowered the man to Jesus, who healed the paralytic. After complaining that her back hurt, Leah’s body shut down from the gradual effects of a spinal cord stroke. Within eighteen hours she was in the emergency room paralyzed and unable to breathe on her own. The story of Leah, as told by her grandfather, is another story of help from four corners: the family, the church, the local community, and the medical community. “Little Girl, Get Up” is also a story how faith in God can be affirmed through a crisis. Leah’s mother Abby spent eighty-seven days and nights in her hospital rooms, knowing her three other children were cared for by their grandparents. During the month when Leah was a patient at the Morristown Medical Center her father Peter slept in the waiting room. When told by staff he could not sleep there, he slept in his car for as long he could bear the March chill. Leah’s brother Timmy, then seven, spent those eighty-seven days with Abby’s parents. The four-year-old twins, Serena and Joey, spent those days with Peter’s parents. Liquid Church, where Abby and Peter met during its founding years, before it grew into one of largest congregations in the Northeast, offered extraordinary support. As did the community of Long Hill Township, New Jersey, and hospital staffs in Morristown and the Children’s Specialized Hospital New Brunswick, where Leah and her mom spent two months. Abby called the New Brunswick hospital the “gymnastics hospital.” It was where Leah learned to walk again.
Download or read book Jesus Evidence and Argument or Mythicist Myths written by Maurice Casey and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-01-16 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did Jesus exist? In recent years there has been a massive upsurge in public discussion of the view that Jesus did not exist. This view first found a voice in the 19th century, when Christian views were no longer taken for granted. Some way into the 20th century, this school of thought was largely thought to have been utterly refuted by the results of respectable critical scholarship (from both secular and religious scholars). Now, many unprofessional scholars and bloggers ('mythicists'), are gaining an increasingly large following for a view many think to be unsupportable. It is starting to influence the academy, more than that it is starting to influence the views of the public about a crucial historical figure. Maurice Casey, one of the most important Historical Jesus scholars of his generation takes the 'mythicists' to task in this landmark publication. Casey argues neither from a religious respective, nor from that of a committed atheist. Rather he seeks to provide a clear view of what can be said about Jesus, and of what can't.
