Download or read book The Unnamed Touched by the Galilean written by B. Jay Cannon and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-12-20 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Struggling humans that Scripture only identifies by what happened to them come alive with names and personalities as their lives unfold. A huge, crazed brute; a beautiful woman of the street; a deaf-mute; a leper; and others are social outcasts drawn together by awesome, transforming experiences they share. Each has been touched by the Galilean. Then some are assaulted, and finally one of their number is killed. This brings the local centurion to champion their cause as suspicion grows that the assaults are part of a conspiracy to destroy their fellowship, The Followers of the Way of the Galilean. We walk the hills with them, step into their courtyards, overhear deeply personal love, and cringe under confrontations of lies. Expansive experiences of nature and humanitys realities thrust us into Capernaum of Galilee. It is a kaleidoscope of sights and sounds: Aramaic chatter of fishermen, housewives, and shopkeepers in the marketplace; the rattle of soldiers armor; and angry confrontations of exposed suspects compete with echoes of donkey hooves and the shrill laughter of children. The enticing aroma of baking barley bread in courtyard ovens mingles with the smell of sweet breezes off Lake Gennesaret. At the center of this substance of first-century Galilee, a mystery unfolds. Is there possibly a conspiracy behind the assaults and assassins, and can faith hold out?
Download or read book The Significance of Jesus Christ written by Willard Chamberlain Selleck and published by Book Tree. This book was released on 2002-06 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a minister who had presented much of this material to his congregation. A brilliant effort by a devout man to define the importance of Jesus to the world. Claims the Gospel stories ring true because they are powerful reminiscences that have survived. It is their simplicity that gives them power. One is impressed with Sellecks honesty when he states that the miracles of Jesus are largely fictitioushowever he does support some of the remarkable healings attributed to Christ and other instances of psychic power. One of the best parts of the book is his list of five different ways that define the true greatness of Jesus. Should be studied carefully by anyone seeking a better understanding of Jesus.
Download or read book Enter the Narrow Gate written by Susan Muto and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2021-07-26 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there few who find it.” (Matthew 7:13–14) If life is a portal to paradise, then how we get there should be everyone’s concern. Our Christian call is to know, love, and serve God in this world that we may be happy with him in heaven. In our day-to-day lives, this means finding and keeping to the narrow way that Jesus describes as the path to heaven. Fortunately, we have a vast collection of Christian classics to help us on our way, and one of the greatest is Saint Benedict’s Rule. In Enter the Narrow Gate: Saint Benedict’s Steps to Christian Maturity, Susan Muto draws from Saint Benedict’s twelve steps to humility, showing how these steps give us a road map to the narrow way. Rooted in timeless spiritual principles, this book offers guidance and encouragement to find and stay on the narrow path, no matter how attractive the easy road may seem. The choices we make each day have eternal ramifications, and there can be no compromise between the narrow way and the easy road. Ultimately, each of us must face — and answer — this all-important question: Are we willing to enter through the narrow gate and follow the narrow way all the way to heaven?

Download or read book Mark written by Adrienne Von Speyr and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2012-08-01 with total page 730 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These meditations on the Gospel of Mark, with the exception of the second part on the Passion, were given by Adrienne von Speyr between 1945 and 1958 to members of the Community of St. John, which she founded with the renowned theologian, Fr. Hans Urs von Balthasar. Adrienne is speaking to young adults who have decided to live the state of the evangelical counsels in a secular profession, as part of a recently established secular institute. Nevertheless this contemplative commentary can be very useful for all who seek to meditate on Holy Scripture. As always, Adrienne here draws from the abundance of her own contemplation which keeps continually in view the harmonious unity of Christian dogmatic truth; she gives to others what has been offered to her in contemplation, without exegetical notes or any attempt at scholarship. Since she is speaking to novices, the train of thought is simple and practical, yet rich in depth. The points for meditation are not primarily for spiritual reading, but an introduction to personal prayer. They are meant only to point out a path, because it is the Holy Spirit who directs contemplative prayer in all liberty. As one reads through this book, he will find in it a kind of synthesis of Adrienne von Speyr's spirituality. This work will also be very useful to preachers, catechists, pastors, communities and institutes who have understood with Pope Benedict XVI that "It is time to reaffirm the importance of prayer in the face of the activism and the growing secularism of many Christians engaged in charitable work."

Download or read book Thou Art the Christ written by Jonathan Jenkins and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John give four different views of the story of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Their accounts are compelling, but they give a fragmented and scattered view of Jesus’ life. In this devotional, the author pieces together the life of Jesus within these accounts, walking readers through His life chronologically. In the process, he seeks to answer questions such as: • What would a typical day with Jesus have included? • How did Christ interact with Scripture, especially messianic prophecies? • When did the plot to kill Jesus begin, and how extensive was it? • How many witnesses were there to the resurrection? The author also examines how Jesus was first recognized as the Messiah and declared as the Son of God, whether any court declared Him innocent, and what Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John’s insights tell us about Jesus and His teachings. Thou Art the Christ provides a nonbreaking narrative of Jesus’s life, connecting it to Old Testament prophecies about God’s promise to send the Messiah for the whole world for any whosoever believing him.
