Book excerpt: This collection combines three of Tracy Groot’s historical fiction novels into one e-book for a great value! The Brother's Keeper The sons of Joseph run a successful carpentry business in Nazareth. At least, it was successful until the oldest brother, Jesus, left home to tell the world he will forgive their sins and save their souls. Now everyone is hearing outlandish reports of healings and exorcisms. Business is suffering: not many people want a stool made by the family of the local crazy man. When one of his brothers starts listening to Jesus’ troubling speeches and fanatical Zealots descend on Nazareth to convince his family to join their fight against Rome, James wants nothing more than to shut out these rumblings and have a normal life. But normal walked out the day his brother did. James knows that this year’s Passover pilgrimage will be more important than ever. Hearing about a possible plot against Jesus, he must find him and talk some sense into him before it’s too late. And he must decide for himself who his brother really is. But on the dusty road to Jerusalem, more than one faction has murder on its mind. . . . The Stones of My Accusers You’re the one, Nathaniel had said.

Tallis, a philosopher’s servant, is sent to a Greek academy in Palestine only to discover that it has silently, ominously, disappeared.

And one . . . one is a madman. From Christy Award–winning author Tracy Groot comes a tale of mystery, horror, and hope in the midst of unimaginable darkness: the story behind the Gerasene demoniac of the Gospels of Mark and Luke.

They have accused me falsely, as they accused Your Only Begotten Son, JESUS. They have stripped me from my dignity, my God. I have shared the act of humiliation with my Lord and Savior. I have shared the agony of His chains. I have shared the mockery that was placed on Your Obedient ones (JESUS and Barbara). O Father of the injured and suffering Ones, I have walked the lonely Road with my Lord, JESUS. I have been arrested and falsely accused by Our beloved one. My soul is weak, my Lord. My body is in pain, my God. I have suffered from the wounds that were inflicted on my soul, by Our beloved one. Rescue my bruised soul, my Lord. Relieve me from the pain of loving my accuser, my Spouse. Relieve from the agony that accompanies my expression of love. I am in pain, my Lord. My spirit cries out for relief. Will You send Your Messenger of relief, my God?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Stones Cry Out is the story of Marco Lamadrid, an evangelical Christian in Latin America, who received a call to become a Catholic priest. Something happened to him one day when he stopped in a Catholic Church to admire the baroque art and had an experience that changed the direction of his entire life. When he left the baroque church a dream was born in his soul that led him to the United States and Rome. This is the story of how that dream became a nightmare and of his complete dedication to his faith and ideals throughout the various vicissitudes of his life. This is the story of that nightmare. About the Author: Son of an American mother and a Spanish father, Josue Raul Conte, a native of Andorra, a principality in the Pyrenees, was born in 1969. After his early education with the Jesuits, he enrolled at the Opus Dei University of Navarra in Pamplona, Spain, where he received his doctorate in medieval philosophy and literature. During his years at the university, he became a member of the Neo-catechumenal Way, but later was very disillusioned with the stringent constraints of ultraconservative Catholicism and adopted a more moderate approach to the faith and dropped out of the Way. Having taught at various colleges and universities, he is now a freelance journalist, living in San Francisco with his second wife Alicia and Ivan, their Russian wolfhound. He is also author of The Chancery Murders and Rosanada Requiem that continue the story that began in The Stones Cry Out and complete the Rosanada Trilogy.

Download or read book The New Worship Awakening written by Robert E. Webber and published by Hendrickson Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The cultural shift since 2001 is very different than that of the 60's and 70's. It is a culture tired of noise, turned off by phoniness, sick of glitz, and wary of the superficial. It is a culture that is searching for an authentic encounter with God, longing for depth and substance, craving quiet and spiritual contemplation, and moved by visual, tactile forms of communication." "The New Worship Awakening" examines the wide array of worship styles, from traditional to contemporary, currently in practice in today's churches. Webber makes a compelling case for renewing the vigor of the spiritual life of the church through two means: grounding worship in the biblical narrative while at the same time integrating an understanding of worship traditions throughout history. Through astute observations and personal experiences, the author emphasizes that Christ can be encountered through the arts, the services of the Christian year, the Sacraments, the singing of hymns and folk songs, the passing of the peace, the Liturgy, and many other means that incorporate Christian worship styles through the ages. He makes the all-important point that worship today celebrates the same Christ who walked the earth two thousand years ago, and that in true and lively worship there is divine action. "There is an action from above: the Holy Spirit delivers Christ and the benefits of Christ's death and resurrection to the worshippers."

Download or read book Heartbeat of God written by David Peckham and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-09-15 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The difference between one person and another, both now and then [in eternity], is relationship. While every person has a relationship with God [Creator and creation], a second relationship is the foundation of communion and fellowship with Him. The Bible speaks of this new relationship as a new creation, those who are in Christ. Prior to the new birth in Jesus Christ, sin has made it impossible for any person to commune with God. Peoples and tribes throughout the world have created their own gods with whom they attempt to communicate, but their attempts are futile unless they come to God through Jesus Christ.
Download or read book The Onyx Stones written by Debby L. Johnston and published by Elm Hill. This book was released on 2019-12-31 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a mysterious boy arrives at her bedside, a despairing young accident victim resents his intrusion. Twelve-year-old Cricket Dalton is convinced her life is over. What good is living if you can’t move or feel anything below your neck? And, worse yet, you’ve been relegated indefinitely to a dreary nursing home. The mysterious Josh makes Cricket talk, and he nearly force-feeds her pancakes to get her to eat. Then, one day, Josh introduces Cricket to his magic onyx stones. With one click of the stones, the two of them fly to a city on an unknown planet. There, Cricket and Josh are forced to escape from a heartless crowd. As they flee, they encounter other people in hiding—people who survive on nightly dumpster raids and a promise that one day a savior will come for them. Their plight reminds Cricket of Biblical End Times’ prophecies on Earth, but their future seems more hopeless. Cricket’s heart breaks for the little children trapped in the sunless underground labyrinth, and she and Josh devise a way to bring them food. With every visit, Cricket criticizes their God as having abandoned them. But, little by little, through the fugitives’ stories of past persecution and rescue, the underground people convince her that hope does exist. They convince Cricket that the timeline of the prophecies indicates their rescue is near--to be preceded by a massive earthquake that will either bury or deliver them. Back at the nursing home, other changes are taking place. A new black nurse becomes Cricket’s staunch defender and champion. A misguided nursing home director has taken extreme measures to uncover why, some mornings, Cricket’s gown and bed socks indicate she has been walking. “Is your paralysis a sham, Missy?” the woman challenges. How can Cricket explain about the onyx-stone adventures and how, while on them, she can, indeed, walk? Surely, no one would believe her. But the new nurse, Marlene Grace, takes a chance. And Marlene Grace’s dedication and love promise to make Cricket’s quadriplegic life full and blessed. That promise is threatened, however, when, on a startling trip back to the planet, Cricket and Josh join their underground friends in a panicked race to escape the collapse of the labyrinth. The earthquake has begun . . .
