Download or read book Inspiring Faith in Schools written by Marius Felderhof and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-23 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inspiring Faith in Schools addresses the privileging of secularism that appears to affect RE in countries influenced by modern western thought. The authors argue that a more engaging form of RE would emerge if religious life were to inhabit centre stage. Currently religious faith is made to hover in the wings awaiting the call to face the inquisitorial challenge of the modern day enquirer. The consequent relationship between pupil and the Divine as the purpose of study is then already intrinsically irreligious, as indicated in the Book of Job by putting God in the dock, whereas it is the pupil who should be (cross-)examining his or her life. What are the ways of exciting and engaging the young so that they begin to entertain the possibility of religious life as a genuine option for themselves? Leading scholars in philosophy and theology from the UK, Australia, Canada and the USA come together to address these questions together with RE experts. Marius Felderhof writes an Afterword summing up the challenges faced by such a re-visioning of RE.
Download or read book Inspiring Faith Communities written by Michael Hurley and published by Messenger Publications. This book was released on 2020-11-21 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great value of this book is that it helps people to explore together how they can live life more fully and with authentic freedom. It has all the more relevance today in an impact of Covid 19 is to push us to a new depth of interiority and to seek new answers that give meaning and vitality. This book has three distinct parts: Part one outlines three convictions that guide its direction and the program it describes. Firstly, God desires what is best for all people and invites each one personally to know him and to live with responsible freedom, self-determination and confidence in his wisdom and mercy. Secondly, every baptized Christian is called to evangelize, namely, to reach out beyond themselves in a way that proclaims and expresses the goodness of God, through action and words and thus enriches those whom they meet Thirdly, the parish is an important entity in the renewal of Gods people as a dwelling place of God among them. Here people meet in communion with one another to worship God, to encounter him, and to be send forth. The author admits that these three convictions are deeply held by him, and have provided compass points for his ministry. Part two is the central core of the book. It outlines a program that gives flesh and reality to its three underpinning convictions. It provides a practical step- by step outline for people to plan, launch and direct the program in a way that helps participants come to know Gods providence and love amid the contradictions and joys of daily living, and live as his beloved children. It then forms and inspires them to live their relationships in a spirit of joyful service and with love towards all whom they meet, and in a way that enhances renewal and community connections within their parish. Each week presents an important facet of Christian living in a style that is easy to follow, while at the same time inspirational. It all means that hosting this program is within the capacity of anyone who knows a genuine encounter with God, and a desire to share his love with others. Part three consists of a scripture passage and a brief reflection for each day for the duration of the program. It supports the theme of each week. It seeks to help people to pray with the help of the scriptures; to inspire a new or more personal relationship with Christ; and to yield to the mystery of Gods loving. Then what may have proved to be elusive in the past becomes part of ones own personal story. Part three can equally be looked upon as a booklet, which stands on its own, and which can be used with profound effect as a personal support in recognizing God who is continually searching for them. In an easy to read style, this book will provide possibilities and sightlines for individuals, communities and parishes, in their search for authentic freedom, renewal, and community.

Download or read book Brave by Faith written by Alistair Begg and published by The Good Book Company. This book was released on 2021-05-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn from the book of Daniel how to live confidently for Christ today. What does it look like to live with joy in a society that does not like what Christians believe, say or do? It’s tempting to grow angry, keep our heads down, retreat or just give up altogether. But this isn’t the first time that God’s people have had to learn how to live in a pagan world that opposes God’s rule. In this realistic yet positive book, renowned Bible teacher Alistair Begg examines the first seven chapters of Daniel to show us how to live bravely, confidently and obediently in an increasingly secular society. Readers will see that God is powerful and God is sovereign, and even in the face of circumstances that appear to be prevailing against his people, we may trust him entirely. We can be as brave as Daniel if we have faith in Daniel’s God! "The message of Daniel is incredibly relevant for us in our generation. Not because it maps out a strategy for how to deal with our new lack of status ... or because Daniel was a great man and we need to follow his example. The reason is that it will help us to believe in Daniel’s God." Alistair Begg, author.

Download or read book The Book of Faith written by N. D. Cole and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Book of Faith: 100 stories of faith from ordinary people like you and me, is a book of testimonials that chronicles real stories of ordinary people who had to step out on faith when it was all they had left. Award-winning news journalist and preacher N.D. Cole is the world's first to personally interview, photograph, and write the testimonials of 100 ordinary people from across the nation and abroad, who had to step out on faith when it was all they had left. The Book of Faith was written to be a modern version of Hebrews Chapter 11 in the Bible, commonly known as the Hall of Faith. Hebrews 11 profiles the stories of great people of faith, such as Abraham and Noah, who overcame life obstacles and various challenges. The Book of Faith profiles regular people in today's time, who just like Abraham and Noah, stepped out on faith and trusted God although they didn't know how things would work out. Hebrews 12:1 declares, "we are surrounded by a "great cloud of witnesses." The Book of Faith empowers readers with the "great cloud of witnesses" that surrounds them and serves as a resource of faith, hope, encouragement, and proof that you can overcome any and all obstacles in your life by exercising faith in God.
