Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Mets fan is an Amazin’ creature whose species finds its voice at last in Greg Prince’s Faith and Fear In Flushing, the definitive account of what it means to root for and live through the machinations of an endlessly fascinating if often frustrating baseball team. Prince, coauthor of the highly regarded blog of the same name, examines how the life of the franchise mirrors the life of its fans, particularly his own. Unabashedly and unapologetically, Prince stands up for all Mets fans and, by proxy, sports fans everywhere in exploring how we root, why we take it so seriously, and what it all means. What was it like to enter a baseball world about to be ruled by the Mets in 1969? To understand intrinsically that You Gotta Believe? To overcome the trade of an idol and the dissolution of a roster? To hope hard for a comeback and then receive it in thrilling fashion in 1986? To experience the constant ups and downs the Mets would dispense for the next two decades? To put ups with the Yankees right next door? To make the psychic journey from Shea Stadium to Citi Field? To sort the myths from the realities? Greg Prince, as he has done for thousands of loyal Faith and Fear in Flushing readers daily since 2005, puts it all in perspective as only he can.

Download or read book Hope in Times of Fear written by Timothy Keller and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-03-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Resurrection accounts of Jesus in the Gospels are the most dramatic and impactful stories ever told. One similarity unites each testimony--that none of his most loyal and steadfast followers could "see" it was him, back from the dead. The reason for this is at the very foundation of the Christian faith. She turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. (John 20:14) Hope in the Time of Fear is a book that unlocks the meaning of Jesus's resurrection for readers. Easter is considered the most solemn and important holiday for Christians. It is a time of spiritual rebirth and a time of celebrating the physical rebirth of Jesus after three days in the tomb. For his devoted followers, nothing could prepare them for the moment they met the resurrected Jesus. Each failed to recognize him. All of them physically saw him and yet did not spiritually truly see him. It was only when Jesus reached out and invited them to see who he truly was that their eyes were open. Here the central message of the Christian faith is revealed in a way only Timothy Keller could do it--filled with unshakable belief, piercing insight, and a profound new way to look at a story you think you know. After reading this book, the true meaning of Easter will no longer be unseen.

Download or read book Letting God Be Enough written by Erica Wiggenhorn and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone thinks you’ve got it together. But inside, you’re asking, “Am I enough?” No matter how good we look to others, the nagging voice of self-doubt is hard to shake. We ask questions like: If people really knew me would they still accept me? Will I be rejected when I can’t perform? Can I pull this off? What if I end up alone? Am I missing out on what life should be because I can’t shake this fear? If you find yourself having thoughts like these, Erica Wiggenhorn wants to lead you to freedom. Drawing from the story of Moses—the greatest self-doubter in the Bible—Erica shows how self-doubt is tied closely to self-reliance. It’s only when you cast yourself on God that you find the true source of strength. Are you enough? The answer is no . . . but your God certainly is. Step out in His power instead of your own and watch your confidence blossom because you’re in the hands of I AM.

This eye-opening book examines the roots of worry and anxiety, such as fear of rejection, disapproval, failure, and the unknown.

Download or read book Building Faith over Fear Face Everything And Rise with JESUS written by Gerard Assey and published by Gerard Assey. This book was released on 2020-09-12 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone has some kind of fear. “Fear not, Do not be afraid” is probably the single most difficult command in the bible. We may not have killed, robbed or committed adultery, but we all are certainly guilty of this one command. No wonder then, there is so much on the internet that says that the phrase ‘FEAR NOT’ or ‘DO NOT BE AFRAID’ appears 366 times in the Bible, because it is believed that God knew that this was our weakest area that the devil would attack. So these 366 times is like giving us a reminder every day, including one for a leap year too. But if you really take count, there are actually more than 366 “Fear not’s” or related terms in the Bible! Thank God for this, because we need to be reminded to trust God not just every day, but every moment of the day- as it is Him that runs the universe and our lives- not us! Worry is the result of fear ... lots of fear! Fear about loss, fear about security, fear about safety, fear about tomorrow- People are worried about losing a loved one, losing a job, sicknesses, diseases or viruses, neighbours, insects, fear of making a presentation in public…Well the list could go on! Fear is one of Satan’s most popular weapons that he uses against us, filling us with worry, anxiety, fear, torment and so forth. However, the Word of God in 2 Timothy 1.7 tells us very clearly “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind”. John 10.10 further tells us that the enemy, the devil is that thief who only comes to steal, kill and destroy…and he does it in that order, first starting with your peace and ultimately ending to destroy you! That is what he is doing right now to the entire world. Worry has never changed anything. It is worthless. If you think worrying about the viruses in the air, will save you from it or worrying about your kids will make them safer- it is only a false form of control. It has no effect. Worriers are always going back and forth over an issue they are worried about- one minute they decide one thing and something else the next! Worry is like a rocking chair-it only tosses you back and forth. You can’t change the past, you can’t control the future, and in the process you will only mess up today. In James 1:8 we read that “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways...” Worry is focusing on me and my fears – and not God. It’s like telling God, let me do your work of being in control! Over 2000 years ago, on a Resurrection Sunday Morning, these same words ‘Do not be afraid’ were uttered to the 3 women who came to the tomb of Jesus (Matthew 28:10) God knew that the death of Jesus and their future could evoke fear of what is to come. The angel sent by God invites them to COME and SEE the place where He had been laid. To come and see for themselves that He was there, but is NOW no longer there. They are then instructed to GO and TELL the disciples. They can’t linger long there or keep this incredible news to themselves: ‘Jesus WAS crucified, but He IS Risen!’ They must go and tell others. And in the going, they are told they will SEE HIM, just as He promised. The tomb may have looked empty…but it was full of hope, potential, possibility and new beginnings. The empty tomb wasn’t the end of a story, but a new beginning. It was a new beginning for the 3 women. It was a new beginning for the disciples. It was a new beginning for the kingdom of God. And it IS a new beginning for you and me- for all of us! As the song so beautifully says: Because He lives, I can face tomorrow, Because He lives, all fear is gone, Because I know He holds the future, And life is worth the living, just because He lives! This little Book: ‘Building Faith over Fear! Face Everything And Rise with JESUS!’ is to help you do just that by providing you the right biblical ways of handling fear and enabling you Rise with Jesus!

Download or read book Jesus and John Wayne How White Evangelicals Corrupted a Faith and Fractured a Nation written by Kristin Kobes Du Mez and published by Liveright Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The “paradigm-influencing” book (Christianity Today) that is fundamentally transforming our understanding of white evangelicalism in America. Jesus and John Wayne is a sweeping, revisionist history of the last seventy-five years of white evangelicalism, revealing how evangelicals have worked to replace the Jesus of the Gospels with an idol of rugged masculinity and Christian nationalism—or in the words of one modern chaplain, with “a spiritual badass.” As acclaimed scholar Kristin Du Mez explains, the key to understanding this transformation is to recognize the centrality of popular culture in contemporary American evangelicalism. Many of today’s evangelicals might not be theologically astute, but they know their VeggieTales, they’ve read John Eldredge’s Wild at Heart, and they learned about purity before they learned about sex—and they have a silver ring to prove it. Evangelical books, films, music, clothing, and merchandise shape the beliefs of millions. And evangelical culture is teeming with muscular heroes—mythical warriors and rugged soldiers, men like Oliver North, Ronald Reagan, Mel Gibson, and the Duck Dynasty clan, who assert white masculine power in defense of “Christian America.” Chief among these evangelical legends is John Wayne, an icon of a lost time when men were uncowed by political correctness, unafraid to tell it like it was, and did what needed to be done. Challenging the commonly held assumption that the “moral majority” backed Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020 for purely pragmatic reasons, Du Mez reveals that Trump in fact represented the fulfillment, rather than the betrayal, of white evangelicals’ most deeply held values: patriarchy, authoritarian rule, aggressive foreign policy, fear of Islam, ambivalence toward #MeToo, and opposition to Black Lives Matter and the LGBTQ community. A much-needed reexamination of perhaps the most influential subculture in this country, Jesus and John Wayne shows that, far from adhering to biblical principles, modern white evangelicals have remade their faith, with enduring consequences for all Americans.

Download or read book Church of Cowards written by Matt Walsh and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Would You Surrender for God? Christians in the Middle East, in much of Asia, and in Africa are still being martyred for the faith, but how many American Christians are willing to lay down their smartphones, let alone their lives, for the faith? Being a Christian in America doesn’t require much these days. Suburban megachurches are more like entertainment venues than places to worship God. The lives that American “Christians” lead aren’t much different from those of their atheist neighbors, and their knowledge of theology isn’t much better either. Matt Walsh of The Daily Wire exposes the pitiful state of Christianity in America today, lays out the stakes for us, our families, and our eternal salvation, and invites us to a faith that’s a lot less easy and comfortable—but that’s more real and actually worth something. The spiritual junk food we’re stuffing ourselves with is never going to satisfy. As St. Augustine said over a millennium ago, our hearts are restless until they rest in Him. Only God Himself can make our lives anything but ultimately meaningless and empty. And we will never get anywhere near Him if we refuse to take up our cross and follow Jesus. This rousing call to the real adventure of a living faith is a wake-up call to complacent Christians and a rallying cry for anyone dissatisfied with a lukewarm faith.

Download or read book Wearing the Niqab written by Anna Piela and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing niqab wearers' voices to the fore, discussing their narratives on religious agency, identity, social interaction, community, and urban spaces, Anna Piela situates women's accounts firmly within UK and US socio-political contexts as well as within media discourses on Islam. The niqab has recently emerged as one of the most ubiquitous symbols of everything that is perceived to be wrong with Islam: barbarity, backwardness, exploitation of women, and political radicalization. Yet all these notions are assigned to women who wear the niqab without their consultation; “niqab debates” are held without their voices being heard, and, when they do speak, their views are dismissed. However, the picture painted by the stories told here demonstrates that, for these women, religious symbols such as the niqab are deeply personal, freely chosen, multilayered, and socially situated. Wearing the Niqab gives voice to these women and their stories, and sets the record straight, enhancing understanding of the complex picture around niqab and religious identity and agency.
