Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One is his mother. Another is a friend. Still another is a stranger. They are among the seven people who witness Jesus' death on the cross. Their remarkable, life-altering stories are told here, in Being the Body of Christ: What the People of the Passion Teach us about Jesus Today. Drawing from Scripture and tradition, Marci Alborghetti creates tender, profoundly personal depictions of each encounter; we feel Mary's anguish as she holds her son's cold, tattered body and recalls rocking her newborn; we stand with John at the foot of the cross, somewhere between hope and despair. We feel the Centurion's bewilderment, Magdalene's grief, and Nicodemus' wrenching regret. "These are the people who can become our guides as we seek to commit ourselves physically, emotionally, and spiritually to Jesus and his teaching," says Alborghetti. Each chapter offers questions and topics for personal reflection or group discussion, making this an inspiring and cherished companion for all who seek deeper participation in the body of Christ.

This book was released on 2011-03-11 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ Jesus and the Jewish People Today explores the historical, biblical, christological, trinitarian, and ecclesiological dimensions of this crucial question: How might we Christians in our time reaffirm our faith claim that Jesus Christ is the Savior of all humanity, even as we affirm the Jewish people s covenantal life with God? This volume is the result of a transatlantic, interfaith collaboration among Boston College, Catholic Theological Union, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Lund University, Pontifical Gregorian University, and Saint Joseph s University. This book opens up new vistas after forty-five years of Catholic-Jewish reconciliation.

Offers the cutting edge of Christian theological views of Judaism. Alan Brill Seton Hall University Stunning in its scope, erudition, and creativity, this work is without parallel or peer. . . .

Download or read book How to Lead Someone to Christ written by Gregory Tyree and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2013-02-17 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Foreword...This book, as its title forthrightly asserts, is a manual, a blueprint based on experience as well as scholarship, a how-to book for all who take to heart Christ's Great Commission (Matthew 28:9-20). It is a book about evangelism for all Christians whom the Holy Spirit moves to be evangelists, namely, all Christians.Dr. Gregory Tyree has written a book that is exhaustive in its treatment of "soulwinning". He leaves no aspect of evangelism unexplored and his breadth of learning is matched by his own rich experiences as a pastor of four churches. I happen to know first-hand about Dr. Tyree's soulwinning abilities because over a two-month period he taught. He comforted, he counseled, he confounded, and, finally, he led me to trust Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. He led me to a point where the Holy Spirit could pry open my hardened, secular heart and regenerate my lost soul. It was the author of this book who pulled no punches, as happens so often in our postmodern culture, when teaching me what being a Christian really means. He spoke with the firmness and clarity of the prophets, never minimizing the tension that comes from the need to choose --- between truth and untruth. He led me to understand that there is only an "either-or" decision, to accept God's free gift of salvation, to accept Christ. And he did so with brilliance, eloquence, gentleness, strength, compassion, and Christian patience and love --- as he does in the pages that follow.From the Introduction... While many books have been written about evangelism over the years, it seems that today it is almost “unpopular,” even in evangelical churches, to talk about soul-winning. People make light of the “old ways,” and a resurgence of apathy concerning the doctrine of Hell and the methods of evangelism is evident to even the casual observer. While I am no “expert” on soul-winning, I have led a good number to a saving knowledge of Christ. I know the thrill of seeing someone bow his or her head, in my presence, and receive Christ as Savior. I have seen (numerous times) a soul shackled by sin freed by the liberating power of the Holy Spirit! I have seen atheists, agnostics, skeptics, and even bitter ex-church-goers turn from their sin and lost-ness and give, without reservation, their lives to Jesus! There is nothing- I mean NOTHING- to compare to it!So if you, too, have a burden to see people saved; if you care whether or not people spend eternity in Hell; if you want people to go to Heaven; if you want to be obedient to Christ's commission; if you want to bring glory to God, then read on!With these thoughts in mind, the book is designed thusly: 1) reasons Christians avoid soul-winning; 2) getting ready for the “harvest”; 3) pre-evangelism; 4) how to lead someone to Christ; 5) they're saved, now what? 6) getting your church involved in soul-winning; 7) children and evangelism; 8) what's in it for me?; 9) you (almost) cannot fail; and appendices.
Download or read book Let the Nations be Glad written by John Piper and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Mission is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exist because worship doesn't. Worship is ultimate.' John Piper's contemporary classic draws on key biblical texts to demonstrate that worship is the ultimate goal of the church and that proper worship fuels missionary outreach. Piper offers a biblical defence of God's supremacy in all things, providing a sound theological foundation for missions. He examines whether Jesus is the only way to salvation and issues a passionate plea for God-centredness in the missionary enterprise, seeking to define the scope of the task and the means for reaching 'all nations'. Let the Nations Be Glad! is a trusted resource for missionaries, pastors, church leaders, youth workers, seminary students, and all who want to connect their labours to God's global purposes. This third edition has been revised and expanded throughout and includes new material on the 'prosperity gospel'.

Download or read book What Did Jesus Look Like written by Joan E. Taylor and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus Christ is arguably the most famous man who ever lived. His image adorns countless churches, icons, and paintings. He is the subject of millions of statues, sculptures, devotional objects and works of art. Everyone can conjure an image of Jesus: usually as a handsome, white man with flowing locks and pristine linen robes. But what did Jesus really look like? Is our popular image of Jesus overly westernized and untrue to historical reality? This question continues to fascinate. Leading Christian Origins scholar Joan E. Taylor surveys the historical evidence, and the prevalent image of Jesus in art and culture, to suggest an entirely different vision of this most famous of men. He may even have had short hair.

Download or read book Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart written by J. D. Greear and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for ‘amount of times having prayed the sinner’s prayer,’ I’m pretty sure I’d be a top contender,” says pastor and author J. D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. “Lack of assurance” is epidemic among evangelical Christians. In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of present- ing the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of “asking Jesus into your heart” or “giving your life to Jesus” often gives false assurance to those who are not saved—and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality. Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation? Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.

Download or read book The Life of Saint Issa written by Nicholas Notovitch and published by . This book was released on 2018-07-25 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Notovitch's biography of Saint Issa, in which he asserts that Jesus Christ spent many of his missing years traversing India, is presented here. A Crimean Jewish adventurer and explorer of India, Notovitch traveled widely across the East in the late nineteenth century. He claimed to have discovered a biographical document in Hemis Monastery - located in modern-day India - from which he created this book. The bold and fantastical claims about Christ attracted attention from scholars of Christianity and the popular media of the time. Spotting inconsistencies in Notovitch's account, it was only after being confronted with these that he apparently confessed to having fabricated the biography of Jesus Christ. For some years the entire matter was considered a hoax; until the Indian mystic Swami Abhedananda visited the Hemis Monastery where a monk confirmed that Notovitch had stayed some six weeks there, convalescing with a broken leg, whereupon he read the disputed documents concerning Christ.
