Download or read book Why Study History written by John Fea and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the purpose of studying history? How do we reflect on contemporary life from a historical perspective, and can such reflection help us better understand ourselves, the world around us, and the God we worship and serve? Written by an accomplished historian, award-winning author, public evangelical spokesman, and respected teacher, this introductory textbook shows why Christians should study history, how faith is brought to bear on our understanding of the past, and how studying the past can help us more effectively love God and others. John Fea shows that deep historical thinking can relieve us of our narcissism; cultivate humility, hospitality, and love; and transform our lives more fully into the image of Jesus Christ. The first edition of this book has been used widely in Christian colleges across the country. The second edition provides an updated introduction to the study of history and the historian's vocation. The book has also been revised throughout and incorporates Fea's reflections on this topic from throughout the past 10 years.

Download or read book Stranger God written by Richard Beck and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accessible, challenging, funny, and one of the best reads on how to love others in any situation. Love and hospitality can change the way you see the world and others. That's exactly what modern-day theologian, Richard Beck, experienced when he first led a Bible study at a local maximum security prison. Beck believed the promise of Matthew 25 that states when we visit the prisoner, we encounter Jesus. Sure enough, God met Beck in prison. With his signature combination of biblical reflection, theological reasoning, and psychological insight, Beck shows how God always meets us when we entertain the marginalized, the oppressed, and the refugee. Stories from Beck's own life illustrate this truth -- God comes to him in the poor, the crippled, the smelly. Psychological experiments show how we are predisposed to appreciate those who are similar to us and avoid those who are unlike us. The call of the gospel, however, is to override those impulses with compassion, to "widen the circle of our affection." In the end, Beck turns to the Little Way of St. Thérèse of Lisieux for guidance in doing even the smallest acts with kindness, and he lays out a path that any of us can follow.

Download or read book The Next Mormons written by Jana Riess and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American Millennials--the generation born in the 1980s and 1990s--have been leaving organized religion in unprecedented numbers. For a long time, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was an exception: nearly three-quarters of people who grew up Mormon stayed that way into adulthood. In The Next Mormons, Jana Riess demonstrates that things are starting to change. Drawing on a large-scale national study of four generations of current and former Mormons as well as dozens of in-depth personal interviews, Riess explores the religious beliefs and behaviors of young adult Mormons, finding that while their levels of belief remain strong, their institutional loyalties are less certain than their parents' and grandparents'. For a growing number of Millennials, the tensions between the Church's conservative ideals and their generation's commitment to individualism and pluralism prove too high, causing them to leave the faith-often experiencing deep personal anguish in the process. Those who remain within the fold are attempting to carefully balance the Church's strong emphasis on the traditional family with their generation's more inclusive definition that celebrates same-sex couples and women's equality. Mormon families are changing too. More Mormons are remaining single, parents are having fewer children, and more women are working outside the home than a generation ago. The Next Mormons offers a portrait of a generation navigating between traditional religion and a rapidly changing culture.

Download or read book Secrets to Home Bible Study Success written by Doug Joseph and published by . This book was released on 1998-05-08 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To the Apostolic Pentecostal Pastor or Outreach Director: If you have saints that know the doctrine, but you find yourself asking, "Why aren't more of them winning souls?" then this course is for you. Although seemingly little stands in their way, some of these knowledgeable saints still have trouble overcoming their fears and becoming the powerful soulwinners God wants them to be. This is not just another Bible study; it's a HOW TO course for those who want to be successful home Bible study soulwinners. In Session One you will rekindle your saints' motivation to win souls. Session Two introduces an innovative and effective program to remove fear and overcome shyness. In the following sessions you'll transfer in a short time important tips that often require years for even the most outgoing soulwinners to learn on their own. You will teach them how to: get home Bible study commitments, pick the right study, conduct the study, close the study with results and win the soul. Even your shyest saints can gain the confidence needed to take control of a living room or dining-table study and influence lost souls toward God. The course is designed for the pastor or outreach director to teach to solid saints as a series of six (one-hour) sessions, each with its own "review" section. Later, a very simple "final test" is given. Graduates may be awarded a certificate. Items available: this Instructor Manual (which includes the Final Test), Student Syllabus (fill-in-the-blank worksheets which include the Session Reviews), and Graduation Certificates. If the pastor and a few gifted extroverts are the only ones active in winning souls, the church will experience but a fraction of its potential. To fulfill the massive revival that God is pouring out for us, we must strive toward a much higher vision: each and every saint being a burdened and effective soulwinner. This course can play a key role in converting more of your solid saints into powerful home Bible study soulwinners.
