Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mom, I have a question: Does God think boys are more important than girls, because all we ever learn about in church are boys? This question, from Lauren L. Nelson’s 7-year-old daughter, led her to write SHEROES of the Bible. Many have heard of the remarkable men in scripture but lesser known are the dynamic women who trusted God and did astonishingly courageous things when they chose faith over fear. SHEROES of the Bible awakens girls to the reality that God can use them to radically change the world. Within, Lauren shares the 20 stories of 26 women from the Bible who became SHEROES when they chose to trust God in difficult situations. As its name portrays, SHEROES of the Bible provides strong female role models who are relevant to past, present, and future generations. Lauren presents a well-rounded collection of stories with ethnically diverse illustrations that are sure to impact children all over the world. SHEROES of the Bible is needed in every household, church, and discipleship program around the globe. Girls, young and old, will be inspired to become the dynamic, strong women that God created them to be.

Download or read book Make Room for Scripture written by James Philipps and published by Twenty-Third Publications. This book was released on 2010 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Great stories. Everyone loves them, and long before they were officially recognized as "God's Word," the accounts in our present-day Bible were preserved and passed along because they were great stories. They had all the essential ingredients: great characters, heroism, villainy, and the triumph of the human spirit. And, at the heart of each, there was the same profound message: we have a God who is passionately in love with us and cannot rest until we show that same passionate love to one another. This is what Jim Philipps wants his readers, and catechists in particular, to understand and share. He guides them through Bible basics by sharing the stories of remarkable men and women in the Old and New Testaments. He explores the intriguing parables of Jesus, as well as stories from Acts of the Apostles and the adventures of St. Paul. Finally he takes a reverent look at the scriptural basis of a storytelling tool that has caught generations of Christians in its power--the rosary, and in particular the reflections on the "mysteries of light," which tell the story of the ministry of Jesus. Each brief chapter includes a bit of Bible scholarship to help readers place the story in its proper context; a reflection that offers a deeper experience of the story; and a series of questions and activities that make personal connections to everyday life. This is a great introduction to the Bible and its stories and a wonderful resource for catechists and all who want to share and explore these stories with others.

Download or read book Unsung Heroes written by John Guzzetta and published by Spiritbuilding.com. This book was released on 2022-03-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians often look for a place to serve. We know a lot about the major characters of the New Testament: Paul, Peter, James, John, etc., and of course the Lord Jesus Himself. Also sprinkled among the pages of the New Testament are names mentioned almost in passing, quick references to people whose duties and deeds are not given much attention, people like Onesimus, Tertius, Phoebe. With a little study and thought, we discover they were involved in vital areas of spiritual work. This series of 26 lessons shows us that the church family depends just as much on the likes of Archippus and Epaphras, names we often forget, as it does Paul and Peter. Whether you are a new Christian or mature in the faith, this book will help you appreciate the contributions that every Christian can and should make to the work of the church.

Download or read book The Queer Evangelist written by Cheri DiNovo and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A queer minister, politician and staunch activist for LGBTQ rights, Cheri DiNovo went from living on the streets as a teenager to performing the first legalized same-sex marriage registered in Canada in 2001. From rights for queer parents to banning conversion therapy, her story will inspire people (queer or ally) to not only resist the system—but change it. In The Queer Evangelist, Rev. Dr. Cheri DiNovo (CM) shares her origins as a young socialist activist in the 1960s, and her rise to ordained minister in the ‘90s and New Democratic member of provincial parliament. During her tenure representing Parkdale-High Park in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 2006 to 2017, DiNovo passed more LGBTQ bills than anyone in Canadian history. She describes the behind-the-scenes details of major changes to Canadian law, including Toby’s Law: the first Transgender Rights legislation in North America. She also passed bills banning conversion therapy, proclaiming parent equality for LGBTQ parents, and for enshrining Trans Day of Remembrance into Ontario law. Every year on November 20th in the legislature, the provincial government is mandated to observe a minute of silence while Trans murders and suicides are detailed. Interspersed with her political work, DiNovo describes her conversion to religious life with radical intimacy, including her theological work and her ongoing struggle with the Christian Right. Cheri DiNovo's story shows how queer people can be both people of faith and critics of religion, illustrating how one can resist and change repressive systems from within. “Living on the street, using drugs, abandoned by the adults in her life, all while identifying as ‘queer’ in a hostile world—any one of these things could have unravelled many of us. Cheri hauled herself up and not only survived but thrived. I love that this strong, brilliant, competent woman has told her story so honestly.” —Kathleen Wynne, former premier of Ontario
