Download or read book Reforesting Faith written by Matthew Sleeth and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking walk through Scripture by former physician and carpenter Dr. Matthew Sleeth makes the convincing case that trees reveal more about God and faith than you ever imagined. “Christians looking to reconnect to the natural world will relish Sleeth’s passionate call to Christian stewardship of the Earth.”—Publishers Weekly Fifteen years ago, Matthew Sleeth believed that science and logic held the answers to everything. But when tragedy struck, he opened the Bible for the first time and was surprised to find that God chose to tell the gospel story through a trail of trees. There’s a tree on the first page of Genesis, in the first psalm, on the first page of the New Testament, and on the last page of Revelation. The Bible’s wisdom is referred to as a tree of life. Every major biblical character and every major theological event has a tree marking the spot. A tree was the only thing that could kill Jesus—and the only thing Jesus ever harmed. Reforesting Faith is the rare book that builds bridges by connecting those who love the Creator with creation and those who love creation with the Creator. Join Dr. Sleeth as he explores the wonders of life, death, and rebirth through the trail of trees in Scripture. Once you discover the hidden language of trees, your walk through the woods—and through Scripture—will never be the same.

Download or read book God Made Trees Why written by Robert Wyeth and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-02-25 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Bible there are a lot of trees. In the Garden of Eden where God created man and the animals, but before he did that, he created some fine trees. Why did God create trees? Why did he do so with the bark, the branches, the leaves and the fruit all so different? Why did he not do it all of the same kind? Trees sway in the wind, and sometimes, storms and hail have come down on the trees. How did God work out the flexibility of trees? When the seasons come and go, the trees will still be there. Man, in all his wisdom, has forgotten the tree.

Download or read book The Temple and the Tabernacle written by J. Daniel Hays and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2016-08-02 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grasp the Majesty, Beauty, and Significance of God's Dwelling Places At various points in Israel's history, God dwelt in specific, significant places, most notably in the tabernacle and the temple. These structures, meticulously planned, extravagantly furnished, and regularly frequented by the devout, were more than just places of worship and sacrifice. They were pictures of God's relationship with his chosen people and of the atoning work that would be done by the Messiah. To understand the tabernacle and the temple, then, is to understand how we are brought into God's family through the sacrifice of his only Son, Jesus. Visually stunning and theologically rich, this full-color resource brings together the latest scholarship and archeological discoveries to bring God's dwelling places alive for modern believers. It places these important structures in their historical and theological contexts, connects them with the overall biblical story, and shows how they bring meaning and depth to the faith of Christians today.

Download or read book The God of the Garden written by Andrew Peterson and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2021-10-26 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There’s a strong biblical connection between people and trees. They both come from dirt. They’re both told to bear fruit. In fact, arboreal language is so often applied to humans that it’s easy to miss, whether we're talking about family trees, passing along our seed, cutting someone off like a branch, being rooted to a place, or bearing the fruit of the Spirit. It’s hard to deny that trees mean something, theologically speaking. This book is in many ways a memoir, but it’s also an attempt to wake up the reader to the glory of God shining through his creation. One of the first commands to Adam and Eve was to “work and keep” the garden. Award-winning author and songwriter Andrew Peterson, being as honest as possible, shares a story of childhood, grief, redemption, and peace, by walking through a forest of memories: “I trust that by telling my story, you’ll encounter yours. Hopefully, like me, you’ll see that the God of the Garden is and has always been present, working and keeping what he loves.” Sometimes he plants, sometimes he prunes, but in his goodness he intends to reap a harvest of righteousness.

Download or read book Celebration of Discipline written by Richard J. Foster and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 1988-10-05 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twenty years since its publication, Celebration of Discipline has helped over a million seekers discover a richer spiritual life infused with joy, peace, and a deeper understanding of God. For this special twentieth anniversary edition, Richard J. Foster has added an introduction, in which he shares the story of how this beloved and enduring spiritual guidebook came to be. Hailed by many as the best modern book on Christian spirituality, Celebration of Discipline explores the "classic Disciplines," or central spiritual practices, of the Christian faith. Along the way, Foster shows that it is only by and through these practices that the true path to spiritual growth can be found. Dividing the Disciplines into three movements of the Spirit, Foster shows how each of these areas contribute to a balanced spiritual life. The inward Disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting, and study, offer avenues of personal examination and change. The outward Disciplines of simplicity, solitude, submission, and service, help prepare us to make the world a better place. The corporate Disciplines of confession, worship, guidance, and celebration, bring us nearer to one another and to God. Foster provides a wealth of examples demonstrating how these Disciplines can become part of our daily activities-and how they can help us shed our superficial habits and "bring the abundance of God into our lives." He offers crucial new insights on simplicity, demonstrating how the biblical view of simplicity, properly understood and applied, brings joy and balance to our inward and outward lives and "sets us free to enjoy the provision of God as a gift that can be shared with others." The discussion of celebration, often the most neglected of the Disciplines, shows its critical importance, for it stands at the heart of the way to Christ. Celebration of Discipline will help motivate Christians everywhere to embark on a journey of prayer and spiritual growth.

Download or read book God Created Woman Why written by Robert Wyeth and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-05-16 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is the same in the past, yesterday and today. If you know and understand that, throughout the Bible he has maintained his position. He created both man and woman in the Garden of Eden and he cursed each of them individually when they ate the fruit of the tree. It is right and proper to let men lead, teach and preach the Word in the church. If, as a woman you try to prevent that, you are making a great mistake and you will be answerable to God. The apostle Paul for about 11 years he outlined his views that man and woman must be different. That God had instructed in the Garden of Eden things to remember. He wasn't having a go at women, he protected them and looked after them.

Download or read book God Made Mankind Why written by Robert Wyeth and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-04-07 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is hard to write down, because of man's sin from the moment when we are born until the time we die. Every man is doomed when we sin and can't get to heaven; because God is holy and righteous and he can't abide sin in any form. So Jesus, God's son had to come and live with us, but we rejected him outright. He was crucified on a cross as a sacrifice for God, for us to go to heaven. This was the only way. The Bible speaks about man in his sinful past but God wants us to repent and change our attitude to what he wants and desires.

Download or read book God of Sense and Traditions of Non Sense written by Sigve K. Tonstad and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One hundred taxis lined up on Church Street in Oslo on November 26, 1942, deployed in order to round up the city's Jews and send them to Auschwitz. This reality anchors God of Sense and Traditions of Non-Sense: it is theology from a Holocaust perspective. The brash Elihu excoriating Job for his insistence that he is owed an explanation for the calamities that have befallen him. This is the book's opening salvo. Job speaking of a God of sense, Elihu and Job's three friends inaugurating a tradition of non-sense: this is the existential and theological predicament. The problem of finite suffering in this life addressed in the theological tradition with the prospect of infinite, endless suffering, in this book described as a key element in Traditions of Non-Sense. Back to the millions of Jews, among them 188 women and 42 children from Oslo, deported, gassed, and cremated--in God of Sense this is not seen as a problem that defeats belief, but as the reality that demands a religious and theological account of human existence.

Download or read book From Paradise to Misery written by Silvester Paredes and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book of Genesis can invite a lot of questions. Did God create the world in God years, or did he create the world in human days? Is there a discrepancy between the creation story presented in chapter 1 and the story in chapter 2? Does Genesis 3:15 show the triumph of Jesus over Satan on the cross, or does it show something else? From Paradise to Misery offers answers to these questions using a clear, biblical perspective. Author and pastor Silvester Paredes shows us how many readers and interpreters of Genesis take too much for granted, forgetting that the book of Genesis contains events and circumstances that are happening for the first time in the history of creation. With that realization, we can approach the events of Genesis and creation with innocent eyes, allowing the Word of God to speak for itself in Gods voicenot in our own. The Bibleand the book of Genesis especiallyhas been misinterpreted for centuries, so it is important for the people of God to rethink our interpretations and revisit Gods opening words to his creation. With Gods guidance and an open, innocent mind, we can better understand creation and the nature of sinand in so doing, better understand God, ourselves, and his purposes for our lives.

Download or read book Prophets in the Bible What Things Did They Say written by Robert Wyeth and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-05-05 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prophet speaks the very words of God. A false prophet speaks out of his own mind. It will be there to guide people, help them and encourage them. A prophet is open minded and he will go up to any of the people including kings and speak what God wants him to find, or do, or to work out. Many people do amazing things, the achievements of a mighty man toils against the enemy and the opponent is defeated. Some people have a gift for magnificent things, which stagger and persuade the crowds. Prophets declare the precise words given to them by God. They do not have to do anything but speak what the Lord has in mind.
