The Church Builder One group focused on destroying all religion. One group struggling to preserve the church. One woman searching for the truth. For two months, small-town lawyer Bethany Barclay had been mourning the hit-and-run death of her enigmatic best friend, Annabelle Seaver. Then the son of her wealthiest client is found murdered in her kitchen. When Bethany herself becomes the leading suspect, she must flee both the authorities and a mysterious killer. But there is more at stake than she knows. Bethany is caught in the web of a shadowy organization determined to destroy Christianity. The final outcome rests on her ability to piece together the last three months of her best friend’s life. Wilderness Rising An age-old struggle between the enemies of God and the champions of faith. A rumored relic that could prove Christ performed miracles—or declare him a fraud. A woman on the run from international authorities. Bethany Barclay is fighting to outwit the Wilderness, an ancient and powerful cabal bent on destroying Christianity. Its members murdered her best friend, framed her for acts of terrorism, and captured the brilliant teen hacker she vowed to protect. To ransom the girl, Bethany must find the Pilate Stone—a mysterious first-century artifact that might not even exist. But she’s not the only one looking for the stone. In an international landscape of double agents, Bethany finds it impossible to tell friend from foe. The Garden, a secret group of powerful intellectuals sworn to save the Church and help Bethany, is collapsing under the rising power of the Wilderness. And an ocean separates her from her only proven ally—the lone wolf Ray Fuentes, who has battles of his own to fight. A sparse trail of breadcrumbs takes Bethany across Europe into a labyrinth of academics, art historians, and followers of a reclusive monastic order. As her quest transforms into an ever more complex and dangerous game, unlikely actors in the drama emerge. Some are ruthlessly devoted to preserving a world where faith is possible. Others aim to brutally, and finally, undermine belief. Including her own.
Download or read book Men and Women in the Church written by Sarah Sumner and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2009-09-20 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evangelicals stand divided in their view of women in the church. On one side stand complementarians, arguing the full worth of women but assigning them to differing roles. On the other side stand egalitarians, arguing that the full worth of women demands their equal treatment and access to leadership roles. Is there a way to mend the breach and build consensus? Sarah Sumner thinks there is. Avoiding the pitfalls of both radical feminism and reactionary conservatism, she traces a new path through the issues--biblical, theological, psychological and practical--to establish and affirm common ground. Arguing that men and women are both equal and distinct, Sumner encourages us to find ways to honor and benefit from the leadership gifts of both. Men and Women in the Church is a book for all who want a fresh and hope-filled look at a persistent problem.

LECTURE VIII THE BUILDING OF THE BUILDER THE BUILDING OF THE BUILDER Two queries have no doubt arisen in many an alert mind while we have been walking together along the way: Why has there been no lecture on the "Building of the Sermon"? and why has the "Building of the Builder" been relegated to the closing hour? In all building operations does not the Builder come first? Does not the plan proceed from him? Does not the edifice depend on him? Is he not the first link in the chain, the fountain from which all else proceeds? Why not build the preacher, and then proceed to build the church? The preacher comes last in this course of lectures, because in the work of building he comes first. It is a paradox of Christianity that those who are first are often last. He who would find himself must lose himself, and only to him who makes himself of no reputation and lays down his life, is the promise given. It was the Master's way to set men, first of all, not face to face with themselves, but face to ] face with their task, and it was by the patient doing of their task that they were to save their souls. 371 A Many things he was wont to tell them about the importance and difficulty of the work to which he had called them, and few things apparently did he say about their own salvation. They were to seek first of all the Kingdom of God, to build a brotherhood in which the love of God should be controlling and by which the will of God should get itself done on earth, and, doing this, they would find all necessary things being added. The apostles were men, and therefore interested in their own personal advancement, but whenever they attempted to induce Jesus to speak of their own dignities and promotions, he began to talk again about their work.
