Book excerpt: The Naked God is the brilliant climax to Peter F. Hamilton's awe-inspiring Night's Dawn Trilogy, a space opera that is “big, boisterous, and has something for everyone” (Science Fiction Weekly). As the Confederation begins to collapse politically and economically, the “possessed” insidiously infiltrate more and more worlds. Meanwhile, Quinn Dexter is loose on Earth, destroying the giant arcologies one at a time. As Louise Kavanagh tries to track him down, she manages to acquire some strange and powerful allies whose goals don’t quite match her own. The campaign to liberate Mortonridge from the possessed degenerates into a horrendous land battle, the kind which hasn't been seen by humankind for six hundred years. And finally, Joshua Calvert and Syrinx race to fly their starships on a mission to find the Sleeping God — which an alien race believes holds the key to overthrowing the possessed. "Elements of space opera, Straubesque horror and adrenaline-laced action make this a demanding, rewarding read." —Publishers Weekly on The Reality Dysfunction The Night’s Dawn Trilogy The Reality Dysfunction The Neutronium Alchemist The Naked God

Download or read book The Naked God written by Vincent Strudwick and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Every generation puts "clothes" onto God to help their understanding; but the underlying reality of God still lies beneath those garments. If we go on clothing God only with garments that are suitable for medieval Christendom, or any other age, then we can hardly expect that God will be understood in the twenty-first century.'We live in an age in which many people are interested in spirituality but have been disillusioned by the Church and are unaware of what lies behind institutional religion. There is little knowledge of historical attempts to understand and to 'clothe' God, and it is more difficult for twenty-first-century generations to find the tools with which to wrestle with the big questions about who we are and how we relate both to God and to each other.Vincent Strudwick - in collaboration with theologian, historian and priest Jane Shaw - invites all readers to become wrestlers: to explore difficult questions about God, the Bible, spirituality and the Church.

Book excerpt: "Who told you that you were naked?"This is the question that God asks Adam and Eve when he calls them out from hiding behind a bush, as they timidly step forward to reveal their bodies covered in fig leaves they had sewn together.This story captures a problem shared among all people: Insecurity.When we make mistakes, dwell on our failures, get stuck in comparison, or experience shame, we start covering the parts of ourselves that make us feel weak, vulnerable, and exposed. And there are many ways we cover up things we don't want other's to see. The truth is, Adam and Eve aren't the only one's wearing fig leaves.But the Bible tells a story of a God that clothes us, gives us a vision of hope, pursues us when we're lost, offers us truth in a world of lies, and calls us to live a full life where we reach our true potential. Naked In God's Holy Temple is a journey of moving from ...I. Insecurity to validationII. Despair to hopeIII. Unaware to awakenedIV. Lies to truthV. Inhibited to full potential

Download or read book Jesus in the Shadows written by Eric Robinson and published by . This book was released on 2014-08-10 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Jesus in the Shadows" is asking one big question: When Luke tells us in Luke 24:27 that Jesus showed His disciples "the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures," just how are we meant to take the word "all"? Was it intended to be figurative-just Jesus' way of saying, "Hey, no worries, there are a few verses about Me in that book we all like so much, and when you figure them out, you can use them to write your own book and really get the word out"? Or did He mean something immeasurably more? What if some of the most well-known Bible stories (like David and Goliath, Daniel in the Lions' Den, and Jonah and the Whale) are really just Jesus-stories? What if when Luke used the word "all" he really meant ALL? What if the disciples have learned a new way to approach Scripture from the Master, Himself-having their minds opened to the true understanding that God's plan has been right in front of His people the entire time (Luke 24:45)? In "Jesus in the Shadows," Eric Robinson looks very closely at seven of the most well-known Bible stories in all of Scripture, showing how they are actually just thinly-veiled descriptions of Jesus' ultimate work of salvation. Written on a level for any Bible-believer (or any searching heart), Jesus in the Shadows will give a foundation of faith that God's plan was written down in complete detail over centuries before Jesus' body was laid in a manger in Bethlehem. You will never be able to read your Old Testament the same again. Endorsements from bestselling authors: "From the moment the first chapter of this off-the-hook book begins, 'What if Jesus led a Bible study?' I was hooked. You will be too. Hear the Jesus story as it should be told, from Genesis to Revelation." Leonard Sweet, best-selling author and professor, chief contributor to sermons.com "This is a highly readable book, written to be understood by everyone, showing how the Jesus story permeates all the Scriptures. The chapters enable the reader to see how the entire Bible was meant to prepare for Christ, and I recommend it highly." Grant Osborne, author of The Hermeneutical Spiral "Eric Robinson presents a stunning portrait of Christ throughout the ages. I was blown away, again and again, by the insights on every page. If you've ever wondered how the Old and New Testaments fit together, read this book. You'll discover JESUS in all His glory, just as God painted Him for us, on the canvas of human history. Dr. Andrew Farley, bestselling author of The Naked Gospel and God Without Religion "Eric Robinson has written a wonderfully insightful study from the Hebrew Scriptures, showing how they point to Y'shua ha Mashiach, Jesus the Messiah. In a day when stories are becoming more and more important as vehicles for communicating truth, this book is a great reminder of how God has woven the promise of a redeemer throughout His revelation to Israel. If you love to study the Bible you will gain fresh insight into the eternal purposes of God through reading this refreshing book." David Brickner, Executive Director of Jews for Jesus, author of Christ in the Feast of Pentecost

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Truth About Sex and Waiting ... Uncovered and Revealed Purity. Sex. Boys. Waiting. Something about those words makes everything complex in a heartbeat. Is there something wrong with me if I don’t kiss a boy after a date? Or am I doomed if I did? Is waiting a one-way trip to life as a crazy cat woman? And what if I, um, think about a certain boy a certain way? It seems the lady at church and your friends have two very different opinions on the subject. And the purity talks aren’t always cutting it. Bekah Hamrick Martin knows the waiting game isn’t easy or straight-forward. In The Bare Naked Truth, she lays everything on the table—including some embarrassing moments—as she explores the honest, naked truth behind what God means by purity. With additional entries from popular authors, you’ll see the bare naked approach to waiting isn’t always easy, but it’s worth the risk.
Download or read book The Unadulterated Word of God written by Shaolin M. B. Abrams, Sr. and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-17 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When working with biblical symbolism, one must follow two cardinal rules: first; understand that several different symbols may represent the same reality in the Bible. For instance, the church is symbolized as a woman, a building in which Christians are living stones, a human body of which Christ is the Head, and a family of which Christians are brothers. Be sure to check the context in which a symbol appears and do not try to force a symbol where it does not fit.Secondly, allow the Bible to interpret its own symbols. In Revelation 1:20, within the context of John's vision, Christ explains the meaning of the seven stars and the seven lampstands; "The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches." The meanings of other symbols may be harder to locate, but usually the Bible explains itself to those who study it diligently. Even so, sometimes a symbol is shrouded in mystery and difficult to understand. Perhaps we fail to understand the symbol because we are unfamiliar with the reality. Imagine the Apostle John's struggle with symbols that represent twentieth-century warfare! Likewise, we struggle with the symbolism of sheep with whose characteristics we in turn are unfamiliar; but in the end we must learn to see symbols as pictures drawn by the hand of God through which He teaches us things that might otherwise be all but incomprehensible. It behooves us not to take them lightly. In studying symbols, take the time to research the characteristics of the symbol to deepen and clarify your understanding of God, Christ, and Their purpose.Food is a type of God's Word in the Scriptures; likewise, if our spirit is denied this manna from heaven, we become spiritually weak and would eventually die spiritually. If in our pride we reject God's food, even though we may have a form of godliness as shown by performing the formalities of worship, our weakness will become apparent through sin; the strength of God's Word is missing. His Word is spirit, and it is life (John 6:63). What did God lead us to that sparked this saving faith in us (Ephesians 2:8)? He led us to His Word. We can glean a measure of faith from observing God's creation, but this faith cannot save because it does not reveal His purpose. It gives us no direction or outlet for the soaring thoughts and creative energies of the God-given gift of a mind trained in His image. But we do find God's purpose and His revelation of Himself in His Word. "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17).Of course, this does not mean that all who hear the message will understand and accept it. Without the message, however, there would be nothing to believe in, nothing that one could trust to lead him to salvation. In practical application, this means that one should always most carefully evaluate the message being preached rather than the man or the corporate body he represents. It is essential that we put our trust in the right teachings. Most of the people who claim to be "Christian" are living by false gospels. The Bible shows this principle from beginning to end. Adam and Eve put their trust in Satan's message rather than God's (Genesis 3:1-6). The children of Israel listened to Korah, Dathan, and the two-hundred fifty leaders (Numbers 16:1-3), and later they succumbed to the Moabites' appeal to sexual license (Numbers 25:1-3). In each case, many died as a witness to us; and after Solomon's reign, Israel followed Jeroboam's false message. Christ prophesied that many would proclaim that He (Jesus) is the Christ yet deceive many; but when we compare God's works with man's, what a difference we see! The closer we look at man's, the more flaws we see. Yet, when we scrutinize God's works, we just see more perfection. Man is finite; God is infinite. Man is mutable;God is immutable.
Download or read book God s Naked Gardener written by Andreas Rydland and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-09-18 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was written with the idea of taking a nonconfrontational approach to challenge what I perceive as a dogmatic status quo in many churches today. My wish is that my efforts can serve as a launch pad for a discussion that will question why we do the things we do and move us towards a Christ-centric community of faith. Allegorical language is used to bring out the point that some traditions we hold dear have become, at best, counterproductive and accomplish nothing in reaching out to a lost and dying world. This book tries to show Gods plan and desire for humanity in contrast to what we continually do in order to get back into the garden. The essence of the text is Gods love towards us, and that is what we need to reflect to the world.
