Download or read book This Holy Alphabet written by Margaret B. Ingraham and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2009-12-01 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the centuries, writers have retranslated the Psalms, trying to keep alive the beauty of its images and the depth of its message, for each generation. Psalm 119 is the greatest of them all: the longest, most complex, and the one that most rewards close attention. This Holy Alphabet is a cycle of twenty-two original lyric poems which—like Psalm 119—follows the alphabetic pattern of the twenty-two consonants of the Hebrew alphabet. These meditations are rich with image and abundant with praise. Each of them strikes an intricate balance between traditional form and modern expression. Designed for both personal study and public prayer, they evoke a new sense of awe and wonder in the power of God's word, fashioned on his alphabet, to bless, instruct, and console. Ingraham writes as a Christian, but her musical reflections capture the heart of a wisdom tradition shared by Christians and Jews alike.

Download or read book Holy Ground written by Julie K. Aageson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-01-01 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too often we turn prayer into well-intentioned patterns of our own making. Too often we assume prayer is primarily about words. Sometimes there's an almost magical understanding that if we get the words right, if we trust enough or believe enough, God will "answer." But most of us know that God is not a divine magician or our own personal valet and that prayer is much more than our feeble attempts to make God pay attention to what God already knows. Using the alphabet as a template of descriptive words and actions, Holy Ground: An Alphabet of Prayer invites reflection about prayer as paying Attention, looking for Beauty, showing Compassion, practicing Devotion, celebrating Enthusiasm--all the way to the end of the alphabet and discovering Wonder, X as mystery, and Z as Zeal. These reflections will help readers experience prayer as a place, an action or attitude, a stance for recognizing and acknowledging God's presence in the midst of ordinary life--something like the sigh of the shoemaker, too busy to drop his worn shoes and kneel in disciplined prayer but not too busy to sigh his prayer of gratitude. Prayer is so much more than words.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than a generation, Rabbi Michael L. Munk, as a sidelight to his busy schedule of educational and communal work, has fascinated audiences with his learned and provocative lectures on the Hebrew alphabet. In the process of opening eyes and raising eyebrows, he has convinced countless people that his contention is true: the Hebrew alphabet abounds in scholarly and mystical meaning. He has developed and proven a profound thesis. The alphabet -- if correctly understood -- is a primer for life. Ethical conduct, religious guidance, philosophical insights, all are nestled in the curls, crowns, and combinations of the Hebrew letters. This is one of those rare books that is both interesting and profound, learned and readable. The wisdom and compassion of the author is evident in those subtle ways that do not intrude on the reader, but give him the satisfaction of knowing that a rich, warm, productive lifetime of experience is flavoring the text.

Download or read book The World s Oldest Alphabet written by Douglas Petrovich and published by Hendrickson Academic. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For about 150 years, scholars have attempted to identify the language of the world's first alphabetic script, and to translate some of the inscriptions that use it. Until now, their attempts have accomplished little more than identifying most of the pictographic letters and translating a few of the Semitic words. With the publication of The World's Oldest Alphabet, a new day has dawned. All of the disputed letters have been resolved, while the language has been identified conclusively as Hebrew, allowing for the translation of 16 inscriptions that date from 1842 to 1446 BC. It is the author's reading that these inscriptions expressly name three biblical figures (Asenath, Ahisamach, and Moses) and greatly illuminate the earliest Israelite history in a way that no other book has achieved, apart from the Bible.
Download or read book The Golden Alphabet written by Charles H. Spurgeon and published by Hendrickson Publishers. This book was released on 2021-10-05 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Golden Alphabet is Charles Spurgeon’s exposition on Psalm 119, published originally in The Treasury of David. Upon noting that the seven-volume treasury was too large for individuals to purchase, he decided to publish smaller sections that are easier to read. “[Psalm 119], from its great length, helps us to wonder at the immensity of Scripture. From its keeping to the same subject it helps us to adore the unity of Scripture, for it is but one. Yet, from the many turns it gives to its one thought, it helps us to see the variety of Scripture. How manifold are the words and thoughts of God in his Word! Just as in creation, the wonders of his skill are displayed in many ways.” —Spurgeon Each section of this particular psalm begins with a letter in the Hebrew alphabet, earning it the nickname “The Golden Alphabet.” Readers can now enjoy reading Spurgeon’s personal thoughts and learn from his theological insight, breathing new life into this muchbeloved psalm. Key points and features: • A timeless classic, repackaged for a modern audience • Spurgeon’s exposition on Psalm 119 from his original The Treasury of David • Spurgeon’s commentaries are incredibly popular for their keen theological insights, pastoral care, and devotional nature

Book excerpt: God's Rx-Alphabet Soup is the result of using a tool that we all are familiar with-the alphabet. Bedtime for the author had become a stressful time due to several events-recent widowhood, loneliness and financial loss. Widows suddenly have more time. When she finally asked God for help, she felt led to start thinking of Biblical words that described God- Abba, All Sufficient, the Amen, Ancient of Days, Banner, Blessing, Branch, Bread of Life, Counselor, Creator...Eventually six alphabets emerged. They were very effective in helping her focus on the Lord, resulting in better sleep and a sense of peace and thankfulness; and so she shares this tool contributing several of the alphabets she developed over the last seven years. Nancy Adels obtained her BS in Nursing from Columbia University, NYC, N.Y. in 1962, and her Masters of Nursing from the University of Colorado, Denver, Colorado in 1965. She married her husband, Henry, the same weekend she received her MSN. Henry would proudly say that his wife earned two masters in one weekend. Through the years the author taught nursing and patient care to student nurses and home health aides. She retired to care for her husband. He died one week before their 45th anniversary. She lives in the Philadelphia suburbs, Jersey side, and attends Fellowship Bible Church, Deptford, New Jersey.
