Download or read book The Minister Who Could Not Be Preyed Away written by William E Alberts, PH D and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A crime was committed by United Methodist Church superiors against Conference minister Rev. Dr. William Alberts in 1973 after he performed the same-sex marriage of two male parishioners, which led to his forcible retirement from the New England Conference. The marriage was the triggering, hierarchically condemned, event used by his church superiors to brand him mentally ill and, thus, assassinate his character. However, it was not about Alberts' mental health, but rather the threat posed by his innovative and inclusive pastoral and prophetic services to humanity.Dr. Alberts provides a vivid account of his arduous legal battle against The United Methodist Church, which resulted in a new, precedent-setting, case law, protecting the civil right of the privacy of clergy and other persons. In his latest book, he not only chronicles his quest for justice, but also the authoritarian tendencies of anti-homosexual United Methodist traditionalists, whose use of select biblical passages in their pursuit of authority and power is splitting the denomination.

Download or read book Rediscovering the Ministry of Blessing written by Russ Parker and published by SPCK. This book was released on 2014-02-20 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible teaches us', Russ Parker writes, 'that blessing is a unique ministry resource gifted to believers to effect the purposes of God in peoples' lives.' In this enthralling book, the author tells of situations of family estrangement, depression and chronic illness; of times of hopelessness and helplessness where miraculous transformation has been wrought through calling on God to bless someone with the richest blessing they are able to receive. As he has travelled the country teaching on the ministry of blessing, Russ has seen an enthusiastic response and uptake, especially amongst those involved in prayer ministry. He believes it is time for all who want to be part of God's renewal - both in church and through reaching out to the wider community - to consider how we might help others to flourish as the people God has called them to be. 'Russ Parker's ground breaking work on healing community history will be so helpful to churches. It has greatly helped me.' The Rt Revd Graeme Dow, former Bishop of Carlisle

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you watched what is happening in the world and wondered why things seem to be going from bad to worse? After a 21 day fast, God answered my prayer of what is taking place by showing me how all that is happening—is fulfilling New Testament Bible prophecies. As I watch all the pieces falling into place, I sometimes wish I had never prayed that prayer because it can be heartbreaking. As you read through these pages, you will be overwhelmed at how the Word of God is so true; at the same time, you will feel deep pain as we watch the world drift closer and closer to destruction. The question you will be able to answer in the end is this Will I be ready to deal with all that is going to happen if the rest of God's Word is being fulfilled?""

Book excerpt: The author tried to present the entire world scene as a Mountain of Prey from which we derive the pleasure of seeking our needs and this is highly materialistic and determines our social behaviour and our relationship with God. In all, God is able to put everything under His eternal programme that He alone may be exalted above every exalted location on the Mountain of Prey that man adores by always wanting to live by bread alone.

Download or read book The Lame Take the Prey for King and Country written by M.L. Ulinger and published by Elm Hill. This book was released on 2019-10-08 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lame Take the Prey / For King and Country is a voice of reconciliation and hope- a welcome relief to a torn nation under God. Though a direct contradiction to circumstance, it's a timeless principle of Scripture- that in brokenness there's strength. From this framework comes God's view on "greatness" - that it's not just assumed as a birthright, or belongs only to the ages, but finds a home in us, as God calls us to be a cut above the rest. Brokenness attracts the mercies of God who raises up broken people to do big things and to become benefactors of blessings others only dream about. You can't dream big enough for God! For the Kingdom of God and the healing of our great nation, God has a plan for each life yielded to Him. When it looks too late for what you planned, it's not too late for what God has planned. You see the pieces. God sees the picture. You endure the preparation. God encounters you with His purpose. Like a "fast ball in," when the call of God comes over the plate, you'll know it in your spirit. And what's waited for tomorrow, you'll do today. "You can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the land."- Christopher Columbus There will never be a perfect moment to do a great thing!

Book excerpt: Fans of Steve Berry and James Rollins will devour Ryder: Bird of Prey, the latest white-knuckle thriller featuring Palestinian-born, British-educated adventurer Ayesha Ryder. She’s one of fiction’s boldest heroines—and now she’s rewriting royal history. According to the last words of a dying man, the Maltese Falcon was no mere legend: The fabulously jeweled golden bird really existed—still exists, in fact. And Ayesha Ryder is hot on its trail. Rumor says the Falcon conceals clues to the burial place of Harold II, the conquered Anglo-Saxon King of England—and to an artifact of astonishing significance that few besides Ryder would understand. Hunted by Scotland Yard, MI5, and those who seek the Falcon to break up the United Kingdom, Ryder joins forces with Joram Tate, a mysterious librarian with a reputation for turning up things that don’t want to be found. Soon Ryder and her handsome, erudite new companion are venturing through lost tombs and ancient abbeys, following a trail left ages ago by the Knights Templar. Ryder knows she’s close to a game-changing secret, hidden for a thousand years beneath an English castle. But with ruthless killers waiting in the wings, Ryder must go medieval—to defend her life, her country, and the world as we know it. Praise for Ryder “[Nick] Pengelley sets an unconventional story loose on and below the streets of London. With his unusual heroine, the author rejects the clichés of action-adventure thrillers and delivers a surprisingly entertaining read.”—Library Journal (starred review) “An exciting thriller with characters that you can’t help but like . . . a thrill-a-minute story . . . well worth reading . . . Pengelley has a hit with the character of Ayesha Ryder.”—Fresh Fiction “This fast-paced crime/political thriller not only is timely for today’s Israeli-Palestinian conflicts, but it delves into historical events that helped shape the way the region’s political climate has evolved. . . . Get ready for an edge-of-your-seat ride featuring a kick-butt heroine bent on justice . . . I had a blast reading Ryder.”—Popcorn Reads “An Indiana Jones–type adventure . . . Ryder has an Angelina Jolie–esque quality about her. . . . She is strong, both mentally and physically, and she was an amazing character to read. . . . [Ryder is] a literary roller-coaster ride I truly appreciated!”—Read-Love-Blog

Download or read book Out of the Depths written by Israel Meir Lau and published by Union Square + ORM. This book was released on 2011-11-01 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his astonishing memoir, the Holocaust survivor and Chief Rabbi of Israel shares his story of faith and perseverance through WWII and beyond. Israel Meir Lau, one of the youngest survivors of Buchenwald, was just eight years old when the camp was liberated in 1945. Descended from a 1,000-year unbroken chain of rabbis, he grew up to become Chief Rabbi of Israel—and like many of the great rabbis, Lau is a master storyteller. Out of the Depths is his harrowing and inspiring account of life in one of the Nazis deadliest concentration camps, and how he managed to survive against all possible odds. Lau, who lost most of his family in the Holocaust, also chronicles his life after the war, including his emigration to Mandate Palestine during a period that coincides with the development of the State of Israel. The story continues up through today, with that once-lost boy of eight now a brilliant, charismatic, and world-revered figure who has visited with Popes John Paul and Benedict; the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, and countless global leaders including Ronald Reagan, Bill and Hillary Clinton, and Tony Blair.
