Download or read book The Trees Will Clap Their Hands written by Jon Huntzinger and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-01-25 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trees Will Clap Their Hands looks at the story of the Garden of Eden and traces its most important themes throughout the Old and New Testaments. We see how biblical writers over the centuries drew upon the story to describe the times in which they lived and to envision a new future for themselves and for Gods people. Though many people think of the garden as something like the ultimate vacation spot, we learn that it is in fact the ultimate vocation destination. It is primarily a place of devotion and worship of God. This basic truth binds the Bible together from Genesis to Revelation. Through this study we discover that the garden is not just a biblical or historical landmark, nor is it only a future hope, but it is a place that we are invited to live in today.

Download or read book The Listening Life written by Adam S. McHugh and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity Today's Book of the Year Award Logos Association Bookstore Award Bookwi.se's Favorite Books of the Year Outreach Magazine Resource of the Year "Be quick to listen, slow to speak." —James 1:19 How would our lives change if we approached every experience with the intention of listening first? In this noisy, distracting world, it is difficult to truly hear. People talk past each other, eager to be heard but somehow deaf to what is being said. Listening is an essential skill for healthy relationships, both with God and with other people. But it is more than that: listening is a way of life. Adam McHugh places listening at the heart of our spirituality, our relationships and our mission in the world. God himself is the God who hears, and we too can learn to hear what God may be saying through creation, through Scripture, through people. By cultivating a posture of listening, we become more attentive and engaged with those around us. Listening shapes us and equips us to be more attuned to people in pain and more able to minister to those in distress. Our lives are qualitatively different—indeed, better—when we become listeners. Heed the call to the listening life, and hear what God is doing in you and the world.

Download or read book The Pleasures of God written by John Piper and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2000-06-26 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water. What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I. PACKER, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia

This story stands apart for its imagination, endearing characters, and how it weaves Old Testament imagery into Holy Week and the promise of Jesus's triumphant return.

Download or read book The People are Holy written by Graydon F. Snyder and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using biblical and historical data, this book first describes the biblical and theological basis for worship in the Free Church tradition, then shows how this tradition is expressed in worship at special occasions as well as in traditional services. The People Are Holy describes the characteristics of early church worship, then traces how those qualities and practices are realized in the Free Churches. In addition to analyzing all parts of the Sunday worship services, the book includes a consideration of key special services such as baptisms, communions, weddings, installations, healing services, and funerals. In order to demonstrate how preaching functions, the book contains four sermons on key concerns for the Free Church. This book will help members of Free Churches understand why they do what they do when they come together as a faith community. It will help pastors reflect on the theological and biblical basis of how they conduct worship. This is not a "how-to" book. Based on the faith stance of Free Churches in general, it describes what would be the reasonable application of those principles in worshipping communities. Christians not of a Free Church persuasion can discover in this book what inspires so many Americans and marks the way they worship. Book jacket.

Download or read book 12 Days of Christmas written by Paul Michael Toth and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twelve days before Christmas, the angel Gabriel is sent to a family, the Hopewells, who live at 1222 Baker Street. And after he touches the lights of their Christmas tree, this family of six""Paul, Julia, Alexander, Brandon, Catherine, and little Dasha""experience a season that none of them could have ever imagined. In the following eleven days prior to Christmas, they and their friends""Carter and Carrie Covington, Samantha and Vic Welhausen, David Livingston, Aubrey Murphy, and Jack Winter""are amazed and entertained as the ornaments on the Hopewell tree become animated. What first begins as entertainment eventually educates them to the fact they have been called to a heavenly mission: a mission in which Lucifer will try his very best to thwart. Come along with the Hopewell family and their friends as they learn what it means to encounter the forces of hell and watch how the heaven's army protects this tiny group. Though Satan tries his best to keep this group cloaked in darkness, the light of understanding slowly ascends on Paul, his family, and his friends. All the darkness they experience (being trapped in a burning house, buried in the snow along a lonely highway, immersed in a volcanic cloud of ash and more) will only serve as background to the light that is slowly dawning. Light will win out. While 12 Days of Christmas: Light Ascending is fiction, it forces you to think about the reality that you live in today.
