Download or read book Who Hears the Cries of the Innocent written by Loren Fisher and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2002-04-15 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For about four thousand years people have recorded their attempts to understand human suffering. Some of their thoughts are found in the ancient story of Job and in its counterparts in Sumer, Babylon, and Egypt. This subject is always with us as can be seen in Harold S. Kushners,When Bad Things Happen to Good People and in Archibald MacLeishs, J.B. Since 11 September 2001, the problem of suffering has been thrust upon us once more. It is not just a question of why the innocent suffer or why the not-so-innocent prosper; it has to do with coming to terms with the lack of justice in our world (Job 19:7b, There is no justice.). The ancient story of Job is not helpful in our situation, but a later Job poem, which was covered up by the old story can give us creative help as we face an uncertain future. Our task is to uncover the later Job poem. This book has been reviewed by James Crenshaw in The Review of Biblical Liturature (RBL). It is a negative review, but since he puts me at a distance from him and in the camp of Archibald MacLeish, I considered it a great review.
Download or read book Gospel Centered Discipleship written by Jonathan K. Dodson and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2012-03-31 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting on the practice of disciple making in young adult, college, graduate, and local church contexts, Jonathan Dodson has discerned some common pitfalls. For many, discipleship is reduced to a form of religious performance before God. For others, it devolves into spiritual license and a loose adherence to spiritual facts. Both approaches distort biblical motivations for Christian obedience and are in need of reform. By explaining various motivations for discipleship, Dodson charts a biblically faithful, grace-driven alternative. Additionally, he provides a practical model for creating gospel-centered discipleship groups—small, reproducible, missional, gender-specific groups of believers that fight for faith together. This book blends both theology and practice to inspire and equip Christians to effectively fight sin, keep Jesus central, and make gospel-centered discipleship a way of life. Both new and growing Christians will learn to trust the gospel in community as they fight together for holiness as well as how to start gospel-centered community groups in any local church.

Download or read book Awaken written by Erickson Jn Teddy Erickson Jn Baptiste and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2009-10 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The poems included in Awaken were derived from the author's personal experiences with his family and friends; including social, economic, humanitarian, and world issues. This enlightening volume is written in a universal language that will appeal to everyone. The thoughts and ideas presented in his poetry are intended to provoke the conscience and awaken the hearts of men to respect women and each other. Universal themes that expose wrongs, beckon change, recognize our differences, and respect each other acknowledge the existence of the supreme one. Valuing life as a gift, while finding the motivation in someone or something, is critical to our everyday existence. These subjects, though sensitive, are real-life situations that affect an array of persons at unexpected times. These changes may begin through introspection, reflecting on one's blessings or through the forgiveness of oneself or others that have done them wrong. Awaken is an important step in the process that each of us must follow to find strength within irrespective of the circumstances of life. It is also critical to remember that you are never alone. We all deserve the right to be empowered, to labor, to academic dreams, to be heard, to be loved, and the right to be human.
Download or read book The Innocence of Evil written by Margaret Bingley and published by Crossroad Press. This book was released on 2019-09-06 with total page 796 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Together in one book, three of Margaret Bingley's novels of chilling horror. *** SEEDS OF EVIL There was something decidedly strange about the twins—Olivia and Orlando. Maybe it was their appearance that set them apart—their wide almost colorless eyes and silver-blond hair. Or maybe it was something more sinister—the way they seemed to communicate without speaking, remained unmoved by accidents to other people, were fascinated by the sight of blood. Meg loved them of course, as any good mother would. But what of their father, a nameless, faceless donor to an artificial insemination clinic? Who was he and where is he now? Would Meg like, even love, him if they were to meet—or would she fear him? When a compelling stranger comes into her life, Meg is forced to recognize a frightening, hidden part of her own nature. And to confront the question: from whom do the children inherit their sinister streak—their unknown father or Meg herself? Margaret Bingley's latest novel is as thought-provoking as it is spine-chilling, a timely reminder that the miracles of modern medicine may have their dark side. *** THE UNQUIET DEAD The place is Lower Ditton. So peaceful. So silent. But don't let the silence deceive you. It's the silence of the grave. The silence of a village too terrified to scream. The silence of an army of vengeful spirits who've possessed the bodies of young children. And in their lifeless, demonically red eyes, no one is too innocent to die… *** AFTER ALICE AFTER the nightly visitations began, Allan was treated to erotic delights and a thrill of terror no living man deserved to know. AFTER ALICE any hopes for a quiet, normal life ended, because of Julie's long-ago sin, scrupulously kept secret from her husband, Allan. But not from Alice. AFTER ALICE DIED obsession reigned over one man’s soul. Corruption ravaged one woman’s family. And the raging spirit of a dead young woman took full possession of one small, beautiful child—the instrument of Alice’s ungodly and unremitting revenge.
