Book excerpt: The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water. What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I. PACKER, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia
Download or read book Salvation with a Smile written by Phillip Luke Sinitiere and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2015-11-13 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joel Osteen, the smiling preacher, has quickly emerged as one of the most recognizable Protestant leaders in the country. His megachurch, the Houston based Lakewood Church, hosts an average of over 40,000 worshipers each week. Osteen is the best-selling author of numerous books, and his sermons and inspirational talks appear regularly on mainstream cable and satellite radio. How did Joel Osteen become Joel Osteen? How did Lakewood become the largest megachurch in the U. S.? Salvation with a Smile, the first book devoted to Lakewood Church and Joel Osteen, offers a critical history of the congregation by linking its origins to post-World War II neopentecostalism, and connecting it to the exceptionally popular prosperity gospel movement and the enduring attraction of televangelism. In this richly documented book, historian Phillip Luke Sinitiere carefully excavates the life and times of Lakewood’s founder, John Osteen, to explain how his son Joel expanded his legacy and fashioned the congregation into America’s largest megachurch. As a popular preacher, Joel Osteen’s ministry has been a source of existential strength for many, but also the routine target of religious critics who vociferously contend that his teachings are theologically suspect and spiritually shallow. Sinitiere’s keen analysis shows how Osteen’s rebuttals have expressed a piety of resistance that demonstrates evangelicalism’s fractured, but persistent presence. Salvation with a Smile situates Lakewood Church in the context of American religious history and illuminates how Osteen has parlayed an understanding of American religious and political culture into vast popularity and success.

Download or read book God Smiled On This Jersey Girl written by Susanne Briggs and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-05-10 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author was living a normal life enjoying her family, friends, her job, and her church, and one day in 2019, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Her name was on so many prayer lists, and her Christian friends were lifting her spirits daily by telling her that Jesus could heal her, and she believed them. She thanked Jesus every day for healing her even though she really did not know if she would die or not from the disease. In spite of suffering significantly from the cancer and the treatments, she felt the presence and love of God more profoundly in her life than at any other time of her life. After months of treatment, she had surgery to remove the cancer, and the surgeon told her the pathologist could not find one cancer cell in everything they removed from her. She received her miracle. She is cancer-free. The author, never in a million years, thought she would write a book to tell the miracles that God gave her, but when she received healing of pancreatic cancer, she wondered why Jesus healed her and spared her life. Most people die from this kind of cancer. As she prayed about it, she had a strong feeling that God wanted her to write this book to help others know that He is alive and loves them and has the power to heal them, physically and spiritually. Many are struggling with hopelessness and pain in this sometimes scary world, and only Jesus can gift them with His peace that passes all understanding. By His stripes, we are healed.

Download or read book Habits of Grace written by David Mathis and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christian life is built on three seemingly unremarkable practices: reading the Bible, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. However, according to David Mathis, such “habits of grace” are the God-designed channels through which his glorious grace flows—making them life-giving practices for all Christians. Whether it’s hearing God’s voice (the Word), having his ear (prayer), or participating in his body (fellowship), such spiritual rhythms of the Christian life have the power to awaken our souls to God’s glory and stir our hearts for lifelong service in his name. What’s more, these seemingly simple practices grant us access to a host of spiritual blessings that we can only begin to imagine this side of eternity—and the incredible joy that such blessings bring to God’s children today.
