Book excerpt: Millions of people watch ABC's hit show Shark Tank, in which hopeful entrepreneur-contestants give their all to convince blue-blood billionaires and millionaires to invest in their dreams and turn them into reality. From producer Mark Burnett, a Christian known for his TV series The Bible and A.D., Shark Tank also includes compelling themes about life's nonmaterial attainments, such as grace and salvation, penalty and punishment.

Pastors or youth leaders can use the book imaginatively to create evangelism series, adding clips from the program as visuals that drive home major points. If you enjoy Shark Tank, you will surely enjoy applying The Shark TankTheology to help people make an eternal connection between real-life TV and real life in Jesus.
Download or read book From Shark Tank to JWOW written by James Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A glimpse into one Entrepreneur's journey, leaving a company he built to accepting his "Calling"; motivated by belief that life is a gift, so to not be wasted or taken for granted! You'll see how his stubbornness and tenacity served him as he was led down the road of having to let go of dreams in how he thought they were to fulfill his purpose. You'll learn of four adversities in four short months that broke him down to complete surrender, to the point close friends pleaded with him to medicate. His faith alone at times all he had, would lead him through his personal desert as Job from the Bible then ultimately into his "God-purposed" Calling! You'll feel his pain, his desperate cries, his loneliness, his feelings of abandonment, rejection and frustration at not only what Shark Tank viewers unknowingly thought of him but his own shareholders, after rumors were created when he stepped away. His knowing the One who will never abandon, as long as he kept returning to Him, is all that kept him going in his loneliest times. This is a story not about religion, but rather about how this man relied on his faith when he had nothing and no one else to turn to.
Download or read book Theology and Survival Movies written by Ioan Buteanu and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-03 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an innovative analysis of the survival movie genre from an Orthodox Christian anthropological perspective. Grounded in the Orthodox tradition, the approach builds from the first chapter of Genesis where man is described as made in the ‘image’ and after the ‘likeness’ of God. It offers a nuanced theological exploration of the concept of the survival movie and examines a number of significant cinematic creations, illustrating how issues of survival intersect romantic, Western, science fiction and war films. The author reflects on how survival movies offer a path for the study of human nature given they depict people in crisis situations where they may reveal their true characters. As well as discussing the role of a ‘limit situation’ as a narrative element, the book highlights the spiritual aspect of survival and points to the common hope in survival movies for something more than biological survival. It is valuable reading for scholars working in the field of religion and film.

Download or read book Zwingli written by F. Bruce Gordon and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major new biography of Huldrych Zwingli—the warrior preacher who shaped the early Reformation Huldrych Zwingli (1484–1531) was the most significant early reformer after Martin Luther. As the architect of the Reformation in Switzerland, he created the Reformed tradition later inherited by John Calvin. His movement ultimately became a global religion. A visionary of a new society, Zwingli was also a divisive and fiercely radical figure. Bruce Gordon presents a fresh interpretation of the early Reformation and the key role played by Zwingli. A charismatic preacher and politician, Zwingli transformed church and society in Zurich and inspired supporters throughout Europe. Yet, Gordon shows, he was seen as an agitator and heretic by many and his bellicose, unyielding efforts to realize his vision would prove his undoing. Unable to control the movement he had launched, Zwingli died on the battlefield fighting his Catholic opponents.

This book was released on 2005-09-17 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The End of Faith articulates the dangers and absurdities of organized religion so fiercely and so fearlessly that I felt relieved as I read it, vindicated....Harris writes what a sizable number of us think, but few are willing to say."—Natalie Angier, New York Times In The End of Faith, Sam Harris delivers a startling analysis of the clash between reason and religion in the modern world. He offers a vivid, historical tour of our willingness to suspend reason in favor of religious beliefs—even when these beliefs inspire the worst human atrocities. While warning against the encroachment of organized religion into world politics, Harris draws on insights from neuroscience, philosophy, and Eastern mysticism to deliver a call for a truly modern foundation for ethics and spirituality that is both secular and humanistic. Winner of the 2005 PEN/Martha Albrand Award for Nonfiction.

Download or read book So They Say written by Robert H. Mounce and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A good quotation states an insight so shrewdly that not only do you get it, but you can't seem to forget it. It loves to make you slow down and savor truth. These neat little extended metaphors deserve to be heard, examined, and challenged. Quotations present truth in capsule form. Many reflect the wisdom of earlier times; others bring insights that are fresh and contemporary. Some support the status quo; others challenge it. So They Say is a collection of more than seventy quotes, along with author Robert Mounce's reflections on how they relate to the real world. This interaction turns out to be a battle of worldviews, for as Mounce explains, he could never embrace philosophical materialism because his experience of reality demands something outside of "stuff"--he wants to know where the DNA of the very first living cell came from, and he dissects each quotation accordingly. By approaching each quotation from this supernaturalist point of view, Mounce's So They Say invites you to read, reflect, and enjoy the journey.
Download or read book The Gathering A Womanist Church written by Irie Lynne Session and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-08-21 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A womanist church has great power to transform church and society, primarily because womanist theology centers the experiences of Black women while working for the survival and wholeness of all people and all creation. Experiences of the triple oppression of racism, sexism, and classism give Black women an epistemological insight into recognizing injustice and creating solutions that benefit all. The Gathering is unique, the only church founded and identified as "womanist," applying womanist theology to the full life and worship of a church. The Gathering, a womanist faith community in Dallas, Texas, welcomes all people to partner in pursuing racial equity, LGBTQ equality, and dismantling PMS (patriarchy, misogyny, and sexism), following Jesus in liberating the oppressed and lifting up the marginalized. The Gathering, A Womanist Church tells the story of the birth and ongoing development of a womanist faith community. This book includes personal narratives of people transformed in this community, womanist co-pastors' sermons informed by their experiences and those of other Black women, and litanies for womanist worship.
