Download or read book The God of the Garden written by Andrew Peterson and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There’s a strong biblical connection between people and trees. They both come from dirt. They’re both told to bear fruit. In fact, arboreal language is so often applied to humans that it’s easy to miss, whether we're talking about family trees, passing along our seed, cutting someone off like a branch, being rooted to a place, or bearing the fruit of the Spirit. It’s hard to deny that trees mean something, theologically speaking. This book is in many ways a memoir, but it’s also an attempt to wake up the reader to the glory of God shining through his creation. One of the first commands to Adam and Eve was to “work and keep” the garden. Award-winning author and songwriter Andrew Peterson, being as honest as possible, shares a story of childhood, grief, redemption, and peace, by walking through a forest of memories: “I trust that by telling my story, you’ll encounter yours. Hopefully, like me, you’ll see that the God of the Garden is and has always been present, working and keeping what he loves.” Sometimes he plants, sometimes he prunes, but in his goodness he intends to reap a harvest of righteousness.

Download or read book What Happened in the Garden written by Abner Chou and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2016 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evangelicals are no strangers to the creation versus evolution debate. Now the argument has spread beyond the contents of the creation account and into Genesis 2–3, with speculation about the historicity of Adam, and the fall. But does it matter which position one holds? Is anything really at stake? The faculty of The Master's College come together to contend that the second and third chapters of Genesis are indeed historical, that there are excellent reasons for believing so, and that it is an essential issue within Christian thought and life. The contents of these chapters establish the history of how everything in the world came to be what it is today. This Scripture passage—-Genesis 3 especially—-explains what we observe in the legal system, literature, gender roles, education, psychology, and science. Far from irrelevant, the theology and historicity of Genesis are in fact critical to our everyday lives. What Happened in the Garden? includes new scientific, literary, business, educational, and legal perspectives on creation. Through this multidisciplinary look at the debate, the contributors prove that to change our understanding of the fall is to change the way we understand reality, to revise the Christian worldview, and to reshape the faith itself.

Download or read book Garden City written by John Mark Comer and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You've heard people say, "Who you are matters more than what you do." But does the Bible really teach us that? Join pastor and bestselling author John Mark Comer in Garden City as he guides twenty- and thirty-somethings through understanding and embracing their God-given calling. In Garden City, John Mark Comer gives a surprisingly countercultural take on the typical "spiritual" answer the church gives in response to questions about purpose and calling. Comer explores Scripture to discover God's original intent for how we're meant to spend our time, reshaping how you view and engage in your work, rest, and life. In these pages, you'll learn that, ultimately, what we do matters just as much as who we are. Garden City will help you find answers to questions like: Does God care where I work? Does he have a clear direction for me? How can I create a practice of rest? Praise for Garden City: "In Garden City, John Mark Comer takes the reader on a journey--from creation to the final heavenly city. But the journey is designed to let each of us see where we are to find ourselves in God's good plan to partner with us in the redemption of all creation. There is in Garden City an intoxication with the Bible's biggest and life-changing ideas." --Scot McKnight, Julius R. Mantey Professor of New Testament, Northern Seminary

Download or read book The Gospel in the Garden written by Ken Fred and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2011-09 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What should a loving husband do? His precious wife was masterfully manipulated into believing a lie. She has been deceived and has sealed her fate: she is going to die. Should he just stand aside and let her die, or will one self-sacrificing action on his part actually set in motion her salvation? He is, after all, created in God's own image. The question is: What would Jesus do, faced with this dilemma? This book reveals that the Garden of Eden held good news for mankind. Adam did not disappoint God with his choice. The Bible declares that God had a plan for salvation from before the foundation of the world. Salvation through a Roman cross and an empty tomb was never God's "Plan B" for mankind. The gospel of redemption has been God's only plan since the beginning of time. In our current day, this truth about redemption has been blurred. This book restores the clarity of God's plan for making salvation available for all mankind. One plan, one purpose, from beginning to end.

Download or read book The Garden and the Gospel written by Lynn Atwell and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-08-05 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without a doubt, the two greatest events that have most affected mankind were the fall of Adam in the Garden of Eden and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ upon Mount Calvary. The first event plunged man into the darkness and horrors of sin that have plagued this earth since that time; the second has restored to many of Adam's race freedom from that darkness. In the Garden man lost his innocence, lost fellowship with his Creator, and lost Paradise. On the hill of Calvary the way was opened for man's sin and guilt to be abolished, fellowship with God to be restored, and a future Paradise to be obtained. Because of one tree, man became a fallen creature with a new master, was brought into the bondage of sin, and was condemned to die. Because of the tree of Calvary, many have been made a new creature with a new Lord, have been set free from the slavery to sin, and have the gift of eternal life.The mysterious events that took place in the Garden of Eden have, for the most part, been delegated to that of a simple Bible story. Most people, I have found, have never gone beyond what they learned about Adam and Eve as young children. To them, the account is about the first man and the first woman being tempted by the serpent, eating the forbidden fruit, and thereby disobeying God. Because of their sin of disobedience they were condemned to die, and were expelled from the Garden. However, as we shall learn, the symbolism and meaning of what happened there goes much deeper; the truths we can glean from that account have a much greater impact upon our lives than most people imagine; and the understanding of those truths will greatly affect the course of our lives.Furthermore, the significance of the event that took place on Calvary's hill has never been understood by most people. Many will acknowledge a belief about a man called Jesus, who died on the cross, and somehow, by His suffering and death, paid the penalty for our sins. Millions of professing Christian believers find comfort in this story, and cling to the hope that—because they believe in Jesus—they are going to Heaven. However, as we shall discover, what most people believe about Jesus is very superficial, is ineffectual in changing their lives, and offers them no real hope of Heaven or eternal life. Even for those who have truly embraced the Gospel message, and have the assurance of being saved, their limited understanding of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus has made them spiritual dwarfs. The spiritual significance of these two events have life changing and eternal repercussions. What we understand and believe about The Garden and The Gospel will forever determine our course in this life and in eternity.
