Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the morning of July 1, 1938, and New York City is just beginning to stir. For Emmy Evald, it is a day of reckoning. Born the daughter of a pioneer preacher in 1857 in Geneva, Illinois, Emmy Evald grew up in the poor section of Chicago known as “Swede Town.” Despite her humble beginnings, she became one of the most influential and remarkable Swedish American women of her day. Emmy began challenging the male-dominated church and social mores early on. Clear in her vision, she established the Lutheran Woman’s Missionary Society in 1892, raising more than $3 million, which provided health care and education to women worldwide. A distinguished orator, Emmy led the charge on behalf of women’s suffrage and marched with Susan B. Anthony to the US Congress in 1902. Her actions met with both victory and defeat. Some women felt a woman’s place was in the home and resented her. Men tried to silence her spirit. But she was a “force to be reckoned with,” one who never gave up on the fight for women’s rights and social justice.

Download or read book The Power and the Passion written by Adam Houge and published by . This book was released on 2013-03-31 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early church the believers’ lives were filled with the Spirit and power of God. They were not just friends but a closely bonded family, forming their own culture separate from the unbelievers who surrounded them. They made it their living passion to follow the Lord according to truth having only one doctrine. With their hearts on fire miracles, power, and demonstrations of the Holy Spirit were normal for everyday life. These things were done “that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.” 1 cor 2:5 But somewhere through time things have changed. We act more as friends than family and truth has many versions. We hardly see the power and miracles the early church saw, only hearing stories of isolated events. But power doesn’t come unless the passion comes first. In this book you will learn how to experience daily, the living power of God and the passion of Jesus Christ in your life. You will learn how to bring back the early church, that it may be alive and real again today.
Download or read book Our Passion God s Power written by Adam Meisberger and published by CrossBooks Publishing. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are living in dangerous and scary times. Christians are growing cold and losing faith in the truth, and this is leading to a lack of power among them. Author Adam Meisberger believes something needs to change. In Our Passion, God's Power, he discusses how Christians today are living unfulfilled lives and shows that the key for fulfillment revolves around finding a renewed, undying, and full-fledged passion for God. This passion can help Christians feel the real power of God in their everyday lives. Meisberger explains how there is much more to being a Christian than most people realize-God has given His people real and true power to transform. Our Passion, God's Power communicates that being a Christian involves more than just going through the motions of religion. God has something else in store; He desires to mold and shape His followers into the image of Jesus Christ. In order for this to happen, however, Christians must seek Him earnestly, go deeper in their faith, and hunger and thirst for His righteousness. We need to undergo change in our hearts.

Download or read book Authentic Faith written by Gary Thomas and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-07-27 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The faith God calls us to is far more than glowing positivism that shields us from life's struggles. It is one that guides us into a deepening intimacy with the God who sustains us in the broad sweep of life. Bestselling author Gary Thomas helps us sharpen our spiritual vision and fortify our commitment to Christ by examining ten disciplines God uses to forge a fire-tested faith. A biblical view of these disciplines can safeguard us from disillusionment when - not if - difficulties surface in our lives. Sharing scriptural insights, the wisdom of Christians through the centuries, and cogent personal observations, Thomas explores the disciplines of: selflessness, waiting, suffering, persecution, social mercy, forgiveness, mourning, contentment, sacrifice, hope and fear. As Thomas reminds us, faith is about something other than a smooth ride through this fallen world. Rather, authentic faith is shaped, tempered, and purified in the flames of struggle. This eye-opening look at what it means to be a true disciple of Jesus will encourage you, bolster your faith, and help you rise above shallow attachments to fix your heart on things of eternal worth.

Download or read book Practicing the Power written by Sam Storms and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible teaches us that we are to be filled with God's Spirit and that God's presence and grace is manifested among his people as they serve, love, and minister to one another. Yet some of the gifts that God offers to his people aren't commonly seen in many churches today. Gifts of prophecy, healing, tongues, and other supernatural gifts of God seem to be absent, and many Christians are unsure how to cultivate an atmosphere where God's Spirit can work while remaining committed to the foundational truth of God's Word. How can Christians pursue and implement the miraculous gifts of the Spirit without falling into fanatical excess and splitting the church in the process? In Practicing the Power, pastor and author Sam Storms offers practical steps to understanding and exercising spiritual gifts in a way that remains grounded in the word and centered in the gospel. With examples drawn from his forty years of ministry as a pastor and teachers, Storms offers a guidebook that can help pastors, elders, and church members understand what changes are needed to see God move in supernatural power and to guard against excess and abuse of the spiritual gifts. If you long to see God's Spirit move in your church and life, and aren't sure why that isn't happening or where to begin, this book is for you.
Download or read book The Power of Passion written by Brian M. Gazzard and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "You cannot be a Christian if you are 'cool.'The world supposedly admires coolness and has made cool into a term of admiration. Not so with Jesus Christ. He is saying that unless your commitment is 'hot'; unless it is 'passionate' it has no relationship to Him." Elton Trueblood"s statement is compelling for Christians. Only a passionate faith can confront the disturbing personal and social issues of our time. Lukewarm lip service to the great promises of Scripture simply has no sustaining power, and churches which adhere to a lukewarm faith will continue to decline. Theologian Emil Brunner states: "The church exists by mission as a fire exists by burning. " How else can it grow? The only way you know whether anything is on fire is whether it will start another fire. The metaphor of 'fire' is used to describe our relationship with Christ. In the so-called Gospel of Thomas, found in the dry sands of Egypt, Jesus says: "I came to cast fire upon the earth. He who comes close to me comes close to the fire." In this book, Dr. Gazzard seeks to inspire and empower individuals to grow into a passionate faith by sowing seeds of inspiration, drawn from his

Download or read book The Catholic Passion written by David Scott and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catholic faith is not a set of rules or a body of doctrines, but is a way of life, writes David Scott. It's a lived faith that contains convincing, intellectually coherent, and spiritually fulfilling answers to the biggest questions: Who is God? Who is Jesus? Why are we here? Where are we going? The Catholic Passion invites readers into a conversation about the things that matter most. It is not an argument for the Catholic faith but a journey to the heart of it—a richly rewarding reflection on prayer, the Bible, sacraments, the church, and God-made-human in Jesus Christ. Scott does not tell the story of the faith through church documents or catechism quotations. Instead, he looks at the faith experience of real Catholics—people like the American writer Andre Dubus, the French composer Olivier Messiaen, the Chinese human rights activist Henry Wu, the French martyr Charles de Foucauld, and the American reformer Dorothy Day. These and other Catholics embody a faith that warms the heart as it enlightens the mind. One theme emerges from Scott's reflections on the lives of Catholics and the Scriptures: God's passion of love for humankind burns on in the Catholic Church. The Catholic passion is the conviction that there is nothing God will not do to win our love. "The Catholic Passion is a monumental work. David Scott weaves material from scripture, history, the arts, the liturgy, theology, spirituality, and personal reflection, showing us that nothing human is alien to Christ—and nothing divine is withheld from God's people." —Scott Hahn, author of The Lamb's Supper "The Catholic Passion is a masterwork—beautiful, compelling, and wonderfully readable; an outstanding portrait of what Catholics believe and why. I highly recommend it." —Charles J. Chaput, OFM Cap, archbishop of Denver "David Scott helps us see a vibrant Catholicism that offers brilliant meaning in a world darkened by materialism and violence. He presents a vision that allows the treasures of the past to envision an orthodox Catholicism for the future." —Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ, EWTN
