Download or read book SEASONS IN THE SON written by Bill Bolde and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2024-10-02 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maybe you have witnessed the practice of some athletes pointing to the heavens after hitting a home run or scoring a touchdown. Perhaps you have caught some of today’s biggest sports stars delivering declarations of faith during postgame interviews with tributes like, “Glory to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.” Many will say, “That’s awesome!” or “Hallelujah!” However, do you find yourself wondering what makes up their backstory? How did they come to know Christ? Who were their influencers? How are they living out their Christian Walk beyond the field of competition? Seasons in the Son is a devotional and a collection of short stories taking the reader on journeys of encouragement and inspiration. It’s an anthology of 52 captivating narratives offering a deeper look into the personal lives of players, coaches, and sports personalities. Some are well known, others maybe not as much. Some are Hall of Famers, others in the midst of their careers. There are stories of overcoming monumental obstacles, others of inspiring dedication and perseverance. These are Christ-followers who happen to have made substantial contributions on the landscape of athletics. This book wasn’t written to just tell the stories of their athletic greatness, but to truly reveal how these individuals use their talents, skills, personality, and character to proclaim the goodness of God and shine the light of Christ in the midst of competition and in front of a watching world. They are leaders and we can learn greatly from their journeys, successes, and failures.

Download or read book Love Like Jesus How Jesus Loved People and how you can love like Jesus written by Kurt Bennett and published by Enoch Media. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on Kurt Bennett's popular-ish blog God Running, Love Like Jesus begins with the story of how after a life of regular church attendance and Bible study, Bennett was challenged by a pastor to study Jesus. That led to an obsessive seven-year deep dive. After pouring over Jesus' every interaction with another human being, he realized he was doing a much better job of studying Jesus' words than he was following Jesus' words and example. The honest and fearless revelations of Bennett's own moral failures affirm he wrote this book for himself as much as for others. Love Like Jesus examines a variety of stories, examples, and research, including: -Specific examples of how Jesus communicated God's love to others. -How Jesus demonstrated all five of Gary Chapman's love languages (and how you can too). -The story of how Billy Graham extended Christ's extraordinary love and grace toward a man who misrepresented Jesus to millions. -How to respond to critics the way Jesus did. -How to love unlovable people the way Jesus did. -How to survive a life of loving like Jesus (or how not to become a Christian doormat). -How Jesus didn't love everyone the same (and why you shouldn't either). -How Jesus guarded his heart by taking care of himself--he even napped--and why you should do the same.-How Jesus loved his betrayer Judas, even to the very end. With genuine unfiltered honesty, Love Like Jesus, shows you how to live a life according to God's definition of success: A life of loving God well, and loving the people around you well too. A life of loving like Jesus.

Download or read book Portraits of God written by Allan Coppedge and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2009-09-20 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is God like? Answering this is the great quest of human existence. Because God is so different from us, we struggle to describe him. While doctrinal statements about God certainly have their place in Christian understanding, the Bible more often uses God's actions and roles to help us know him better. Indeed, some of the most helpful insights in Scripture arise when God is compared to something else: a rock, an eagle or a tower. And many "human" metaphors--metaphors taken from the world of actions and relationships--bring us even closer to understanding of God. In Portraits of God, Allan Coppedge suggests we look carefully at God as our Father, Redeemer, King, Judge, Priest and Creator. These portraits taken together give us an understaning of the Holy One for which no single category is adequate. These images work their way through the whole of Scripture. They are the doorway allowing us into the mysteries of God's very being. In Portraits of God, Coppedge offers a comprehensive survey, picturing a God who wants to be known personally and who has profoundly communicated himself. Coppedge finds the inexhaustible nature of God to be one of holiness reflected in and best described by the language of diverse roles. Approaching God in this way transforms us, as churches and individuals, to reflect God's own holy character. This is a book for students, pastors and churchgoers alike. Anyone desiring to know more deeply and wholly the Christian God revealed in the Bible will find in Portraits of God a treasure of scholarship and truth.
