Download or read book Jesus on Death Row written by Prof. Mark Osler and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-09-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does the most infamous criminal proceeding in history--the trial of Jesus of Nazareth--have to tell us about capital punishment in the United States? Jesus Christ was a prisoner on death row. If that statement surprises you, consider this fact: of all the roles that Jesus played--preacher, teacher, healer, mentor, friend--none features as prominently in the gospels as this one, a criminal indicted and convicted of a capital offense. Now consider another fact: the arrest, trial, and execution of Jesus bear remarkable similarities to the American criminal justice system, especially in capital cases. From the use of paid informants to the conflicting testimony of witnesses to the denial of clemency, the elements in the story of Jesus' trial mirror the most common components in capital cases today. Finally, consider a question: How might we see capital punishment in this country differently if we realized that the system used to condemn the Son of God to death so closely resembles the system we use in capital cases today? Should the experience of Jesus' trial, conviction, and execution give us pause as we take similar steps to place individuals on death row today? These are the questions posed by this surprising, challenging, and enlightening book

Book excerpt: Paul was an unlikely candidate to become the apostle to the Gentiles ? until the day he unexpectedly encountered Jesus. You are probably familiar with that part of his story, and perhaps much of what transpired in his life after that. But two-thirds of his life story is not recorded in detail, though Paul gives us some hints in his letters. God is always at work in our lives; often before we realize it. The same can be said of Paul. Through this fictional novel, we'll explore how God may have used those unrecorded portions of his life to prepare him for the mission that was being set before him. We'll follow him from his early years in Tarsus through his final days in Rome.Throughout those years, Paul spent more time in a prison cell than we are ever told. It was a place where God continued to work in and through him. The mission never stopped because he was in prison; it simply took on a different form. The same is true of us. Our circumstances may change, but the mission doesn't. Allow yourself to be challenged as you experience a story of God's mission - through the eyes of a prisoner who ran the race that was put before him - and the faithfulness of God through it all.
Download or read book Jesus In The Jail written by Samee Solanky and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (1) Revival began in the Olmos high-security prison (Argentina, South America), with half of its 3,000 inmates now believers. This revival spread to 200 other prisons. An estimated 25 percent of all prisoners in Argentina are now Christians. One prison, Cristo la Unica Esperanza, has become a completely (100 percent) evangelical prison in Latin America. Approximately 250 pastors work in prisons in Argentina. (2) The success story of Bellavista Prison (Columbia, Central America), a maximum-security prison in Medellin that was often called “hell on earth,” is an inspiration. Through prayer and bold Christian witness, the prison has seen a remarkable turning of hardened criminals to Christ and the end of rampant murderousness. Many inmates are now believers, and there is regular prayer, fasting, and evangelism in this prison, and even a Christian radio station has been formed there. A Bible institute has also been formed in this prison, training inmates to minister both in prison and after release. If God can do this in South America, in Central America, in Westchester County Jail (NY), in Metropolitan Detention Center (NY), and in Otisville Prison-Camp (NY), then HE can do this in other prisons of the United States of America and the world, too. Is there anything too hard for the Lord?
Download or read book The Spirits in Prison and Other Studies on the Life After Death Classic Reprint written by E. H. Plumptre and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-16 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spirits in Prison and Other Studies on the Life After Death The fact that, after a sale of four thousand copies of this work, I have been asked to prepare a fresh issue, leads me to think that it has met a want more or less widely felt. The many letters which I have received from correspondents personally unknown, but whose minds had been drawn to the contemplation of the great problems of which I have ventured to treat, confirm that impression and are a more than sufficient reward for whatever labour I have bestowed on them. I am largely indebted to those correspondents for the facts, references, and quotations which will be found in the Additional Notes. Acting on the suggestion of some of my reviewers and of personal friends, I have, I hope, added to the usefulness of the book by the addition (1) of a fuller analytical Table of Contents, and (2) of somewhat copious Indexes. For both of these I am indebted to the kindness of the Rev. H. W. Pereira, m.a., of whose scholarly accuracy in such work - a work, perhaps, of greater labour than that of the writer sufficient evidence will be found, if any were wanted besides that thus given to the reader, in his thought ful and exhaustive volume, A Commentary on the Ofiiee for the Ministration of Holy Baptism. I know no work on that subject in English theological literature more abounding in a wealth of illustrative quotations from Scripture, Ancient Liturgies, and the writings of Catholic Fathers, Doctors, and Divines.

Download or read book Josu Prisoner at Shalem written by Steven H. Propp and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-11-21 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is this man? Josu is locked up in Shalem State Prison, a maximum-security institution. He had never attracted much attention to himself before, and was content to just "do his own time." But then something happened to him; and now, he's on a mission to share it. "Man, I ain't never heard nothin' like this guy!" exclaims Jamal, one of the twelve prisoners that Josu has appointed to be his "Reps," and to share the Word about his message with the other prisoners. Josu freely gives of himself, praying for the healing of the many troubled people who flock to him, and telling them stories about the "New Order" that God is going to establish very soon. But the authority figures in the prison can't stand this arrogant challenger to their own power. They try to embarrass Josu publicly, and fail utterly. But then, when one of Josu's own followers offers to turn on him, betrayal and greed lead to a violent climax. Does this story sound familiar? Then come and read an all too well-known tale told in a fresh, exciting way and maybe see some things in the story that you'd never noticed before.
