Download or read book Hebrews a Reader s Companion written by Michael Cannon Loehrer and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hebrews: A Readers Companion is the first in a series of books called The Jewish Christian Letters. A decidedly Jewish mind-set governed the first century church in the cradle of Christianity. There was also a Gentile mind-set, which has governed ever since, leaving most of the New Testament more easily understandable during these times of the Gentiles. However, several books in the New Testament are best understood as Jewish-Christian documents. The historical setting of the first century yields many insights, which make for a full interpretation and ready application of the Jewish-Christian letters, a truth nowhere more apparent than the book of Hebrews, which this readers companion to Holy Scriptures offers to bring to life.

Download or read book Revelation a Reader s Companion written by Michael Cannon Loehrer and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revelation: A Reader’s Companion – Preserving Perspective. – This book is the sixth in a series of scriptural novels. It concludes with the aged apostle John helping churches preserve the perspective that Jesus Christ is King of kings and Lord of lords to the glory of God the Father. Scriptural novels present a problem when weaving fact with fiction, leaving readers wondering exactly what is true, which betrays my purpose: to grasp the truths of eternal life. Yet I hope a living encounter with the historical setting, such as I offer, will provide a framework for grappling with the meaning of Scripture in personal terms.

To expose the devils tactics of positioning government leaders as benefactors who bestow benefits in order to solicit support 2. To clarify a caution of prophetic scripture about fear-based forms of human government 3. To emphasize how God expects his people to publicly proclaim the superior way he runs his kingdom until the very end of this age I hope devout disciples will faithfully preach Jesus Christ as king, especially to those the elite reject, whether the loser or the deplorable.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A seaside town helps one young woman reclaim the light after darkness in an uplifting novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Debbie Macomber. “Romantic, warm, and a breeze to read—one of Macomber’s best.”—Kirkus Reviews Annie Marlow has been through the worst. Rocked by tragedy, she heads to the one place that makes her happy: Oceanside in the Pacific Northwest, the destination of many family vacations when Annie was a teenager. Once there, Annie begins to restore her broken spirit, thanks in part to the folks she meets: a local painter, Keaton, whose large frame is equal to his big heart—and who helps Annie fix up her rental cottage by the sea; Mellie, the reclusive, prickly landlord Annie is determined to befriend; and Britt, a teenager with a terrible secret. But it is Keaton to whom Annie feels most drawn. His quiet, peaceful nature offers her both comfort and reprieve from her grief, and the two begin to grow closer. Then events threaten to undo the idyll Annie has come to enjoy. And when the opportunity of a lifetime lands in her lap, she is torn between the excitement of a new journey toward success and the safe and secure arms of the haven—and the man—she’s come to call home. In this heartwarming tale, Annie finds that the surest way to fix what is damaged within is to help others rise above their pain and find a way to heal.

Tears and laughter abound in this story of loss and healing that will wrap you up and pull you in; readers will finish it in one sitting.”—Library Journal (starred review) “Macomber’s story of tragedy and triumph is emotionally engaging from the outset and ends with a satisfying conclusion.
