Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You don't have to be perfect to do God's work. Look no further than the twelve disciples, whose many weaknesses are forever preserved throughout the pages of the New Testament. Join bestselling author John MacArthur in Twelve Ordinary Men as he draws principles from Christ's careful, hands-on training of the original disciples for today's modern disciple, you! Jesus chose ordinary men--fishermen, tax collectors, political zealots--and turned their weakness into strength, producing greatness from people who were otherwise unremarkable. The twelve disciples weren't the stained-glass saints we imagine. On the contrary, they were truly human, all too prone to mistakes, misstatements, wrong attitudes, lapses of faith, and bitter failure. Simply put, they were flawed people, just like us. But under Jesus' teaching and touch, they became a force that forever changed the world. MacArthur takes you into the inner circle of the disciples--their selection, their training, their personalities, and their incredible impact. As MacArthur took a closer look at the lives of the twelve disciples, he found himself asking difficult questions along the way, including: Why did Jesus pick each of the twelve disciples? How did Jesus teach them everything he could in just eighteen short months? Can the lessons that Jesus taught the disciples can still influence our faith today? In Twelve Ordinary Men, you'll learn that disciples are living proof that God's strength is made perfect in weakness. As you get to know the men who walked with Jesus, you'll see that if he can accomplish his purposes through them, he can do the same through you.

Download or read book The Liars Gospel written by Naomi Alderman and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2013-03-12 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An award-winning writer reimagines the life of Jesus, from the points of view of four people closest to him before his death. This is the story of Yehoshuah, who wandered Roman-occupied Judea giving sermons and healing the sick. Now, a year after his death, four people tell their stories. His mother grieves, his friend Iehuda loses his faith, the High Priest of the Temple tries to keep the peace, and a rebel named Bar-Avo strives to bring that peace tumbling down. It was a time of political power plays and brutal tyranny. Men and women took to the streets to protest. Dictators put them down with iron force. In the midst of it all, one inconsequential preacher died. And either something miraculous happened, or someone lied. Viscerally powerful in its depictions of the period -- massacres and riots, animal sacrifice and human betrayal -- The Liars' Gospel makes the oldest story entirely new.
Download or read book Twelve Liars in the Bible written by Steve Saunders and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2018-12-28 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have all encountered liars, and perhaps even been "burned" by one or two, but, other than "thou shalt not bear false witness" (Ex. 20:16), what does the Bible have to say about lying? Starting with the first lie that Satan told Eve in the Garden of Eden to the last lie told in the Bible by Ananias and Sapphira that resulted in their deaths, Twelve Liars in the Bible (and the Lives They Ruined) by author Steve Saunders, brings biblical liars and the destruction they brought upon themselves and the persons about whom they lied to the forefront for readers. While the biblical stories inside are well known by many, (included are the lies illustrated in the stories of Sarah and Abraham, Jacob and Esau, Samson and Delilah, and more), the author's focus on the biblical viewpoint of the lies will give the reader new and unique insight on the harm caused by lying. Practically every day we hear about professional athletes who have lied about doping, politicians who have lied to cover-up misdeeds, or well-known people who have lied about their sexual indiscretions. Let's face it; we too have told lies at some point in our lives. Hopefully, our errant ways were quickly corrected, but the question still remains: what consequences do our lies create? There has never been a more appropriate time than the present for Twelve Liars in the Bible (and the Lives They Ruined). The author's biblical research and personal stories combined with current events will be remembered by readers for the insight they gain. After growing up in Wichita, Kansas, Steve Saunders attended and graduated from what is now the Arlington Baptist University in Arlington, Texas. Arlington is also where he met and married his wife Patty. They have three sons, two of whom are married, and three grandchildren. Steve is retired from pastoring, after planting churches and pastoring in large cities, small towns, and rural areas for more than forty years. Steve's present ministry is writing, recording and publishing gospel music.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart provides readers a forum for more fully comprehending the Bible. Each book of the Bible tells a story that relates to the larger story, and to understand each books story, it is important to understand the larger story, and vice versa.

Since Understanding the Bible: Head and Heart would be lengthy under one cover, it is divided into three parts. Part One addresses the Old Testament, Part Two addresses Matthew through Acts, and Part Threethis publicationaddresses Romans through Revelation.
