Download or read book Forgiving Moses written by Gloria L. Velásquez and published by Arte Publico Press. This book was released on 2018-05-31 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moses Vargas hates his life. He has been forced to move four times in as many years, and he’s tired of starting at another school, having everyone stare at him and trying to make new friends. Most of all, he doesn’t want to have to deal with questions about his father—an inmate in the California Department of Corrections. When Moses discovers that someone has been sending out text messages with a photo of him and his father in a prison uniform, he ends up in a fight and then suspended for three days. School counselor Ray Gutiérrez reaches out to Moses, inviting him to an after-school support program called Círculos for students dealing with absentee fathers. Moses grudgingly attends the sessions that draw on indigenous and cultural roots to empower the boys. Realizing he is not the only one with a problematic home life—and the new friendship of a pretty classmate whose father is also in prison—helps Moses to begin talking about his anger and embarrassment. But will he really be able to overcome his resentment towards his father? The tenth installment in Velásquez’s acclaimed Roosevelt High School Series that focuses on social issues relevant to teens, Forgiving Mosesaddresses the painful issue of children, particularly brown and black youth, whose fathers are not present in their lives. Touching on the disproportionately high number of men of color in prison and its effects on society, this short novel for teens will generate conversations about the possible consequences of making bad choices, responsibility to family and the impact of incarceration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Philosophy of Forgiveness, Volume III: Forgiveness in World Religions' is a collection of essays that explores the philosophy of forgiveness in different religions, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Confucianism. Each chapter scours one of these religions for insights on the concept of forgiveness, asking questions such as whether forgiveness is a virtue, whether it is conditional, whether God has standing to forgive, and whether it is permissible not to forgive some extreme wrongs. In some of the chapters, the concept of forgiveness in one religion is compared with that in another. In other chapters, the ideas of different traditions within a religion are compared and contrasted. Also, some chapters compare a religious concept to the views of a philosophical figure, such as Aristotle, Kant, or Derrida. The contributors to the volume come from various cultural and religious backgrounds and from different disciplines, such as philosophy, religious studies, and psychology. The collection is written for scholars, graduate students, and upper-division undergraduate students interested in forgiveness or comparative religious philosophy.

Download or read book Faith Alone in One Hundred Verses written by Robert N. Wilkin and published by Grace Evangelical Society. This book was released on 2020-09 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of salvation by faith apart from works-sola fide-is often defended using a handful of familiar verses, such as John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8-9, and Galatians 2:16. But are there any more? How prevalent in Scripture is the doctrine of faith alone? Would you believe there are as many as 100 verses that declare believing to be the one and only condition of eternal salvation? That is what Robert N. Wilkin argues in Faith Alone in 100 Verses. Writing in a devotional style, Wilkin shows that the doctrine of salvation by faith apart from works is taught explicitly or implicitly in at least one hundred passages throughout the New Testament.Whether you are uncertain about how to be saved or want to gain a better understanding of the Biblical evidence about the free gift of eternal life, this book will help remove any confusion about the wonderful grace of God in salvation.

Download or read book God S 9 Moses S 1 Commandments written by Rubye C. Wright and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-11-17 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the centuries, man has interpreted the Bible in a variety of ways. In some instances, it was for personal gain or power. This has resulted in sin in every segment of society and a skewering of the message God intended to send to His people through his Word. Provocative and eye-opening, Gods Nine and Mosess One Commandments offers an intriguing interpretation of why man has decided to corrupt Gods holy word for his own base needs. Author Rubye C. Wright shows why men, motivated by greed, have historically assumed that each knows better than God what is best for all of Gods people. Beginning with Adam and Eve, Wright contends how the events recorded in the Bible have been changed to suit mans own purposes. Wright breaks down each of the Ten Commandments and reveals how men of power have broken them time and time again, even when they believed they were doing Gods work. She also charges that men of God, including Moses and Joshua, explicitly went against Gods instructions and were thus not worthy of their chosen roles as leaders of Gods people. This hard-hitting study pulls no punches and offers a thought-provoking narrative on the Ten Commandments.
