Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seasoned advice for pastors facing the weekly challenge of preparing sermons For pastors, a new sermon comes every week. Conventional wisdom says that pastors need to sequester themselves to prepare their weekly sermon without distraction. But veteran preacher Frank Honeycutt suggests just the opposite: prepare your sermons as part of a daily, lived experience in the community. Using the days of the week as a framework, Honeycutt describes practical and essential tasks leading up to the writing and delivery of the Sunday sermon—habits that will provide lasting spiritual nourishment for pastors who plan for a long career in parish ministry. With humor and candid acknowledgment of his own mistakes and doubts, Honeycutt reflects on the joys and hazards of ministry and explains how a faithful process of preaching shapes pastors for a lifetime of healthy ministry.

Book excerpt: From debut author Van Hoang comes Girl Giant and the Monkey King, a tale packed with magic, adventure, and middle-school woes—perfect for fans of Rick Riordan and Roshani Chokshi. Eleven-year-old Thom Ngho is keeping a secret: she’s strong. Like suuuuper strong. Freakishly strong. And it’s making it impossible for her to fit in at her new middle school. In a desperate bid to get rid of her super strength, Thom makes a deal with the Monkey King, a powerful deity and legendary trickster she accidentally released from his 500-year prison sentence. Thom agrees to help the Monkey King get back his magical staff if he'll take away her strength. Soon Thom is swept up in an ancient and fantastical world in where demons, dragons, and Jade princesses actually exist. But she quickly discovers that magic can’t cure everything, and dealing with the trickster god might be more trouble than it’s worth. Kirkus Best Book of 2020

Download or read book Movement of Prayer written by Alicia Jackson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heartfelt, triumphant, and, some would say, unbelievable, this book is about a mother and a father with eleven children living in a two-bedroom house who survived on prayer, fully trusting and dependent on God. Their prayer would cause the house to vibrate and the chains to break. There was not a doubt that Jesus was in the house. They called the name of Jesus all through the day, evening, night, and early morning. “Jesus—my provider, my healer, my protector—please guide and lead my children. Cover them.” Their prayer was like no other. Their relationship with God was first. God’s words were embedded in their hearts as they knelt before God, giving Him thanks for the food on our table, the clothes on our backs, and the roof over our heads. A two-bedroom house—how would that work with eleven kids? Yet love and happiness resided. The praying never ceased as their voices got stronger and the prayers got even longer. Several years later, God called my father home, and two voices became one in my mother, a woman who never stopped praying, a woman who had faith that was unbreakable, a woman who stood like a tree by the water. God was her everything. Confident, fearless, she talked and walked with her God. “Instant” was what she called Him, an “on-time God,” as she interlocked her hands with His. Perhaps most of the people who knew us, I am sure, wondered, “Eleven children—how she is going to take care of them? It’s too many. Those boys won’t be nothing.” But God never left her side. God kept His promise, and He answered her prayers. She raised eleven children. What prayer won’t do! Prayer is the door opener and the changer. Prayer is a tool builder, a faith enhancer. We all graduated from high school, all living today and exceeding in life. Her walk with God continued until God called her home at the age of ninety-nine.

Download or read book Homiletical Theology in Action written by David Schnasa Jacobsen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homiletics is taking a theological turn. But what does the preaching task look like if we think of it not so much as a mastery of technique, but an exercise in theological method? Homiletical Theology in Action: The Unfinished Theological Task of Preaching tries to envision the work of homiletics as theological in root and branch. By placing theological questions at the center of the process, the authors, some of the leading lights of the field of homiletics, try to show how their work as preachers and homileticians is a thoroughgoing theological activity. By beginning with troublesome texts and problematic doctrines, they seek to show how preachers and homileticians engage in theology, not as consumers, but as producers--and in the thick of the kinds of questions that preachers have to ask. Practitioners and theological educators alike will catch a glimpse of how they too are residential theologians in their own preaching praxis.

Download or read book The Honk and Holler Opening Soon written by Billie Letts and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2001-04-15 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caney Paxton wanted his cafe to have the biggest and brightest sign in Eastern Oklahoma-the "opening soon" part was supposed to be just a removable, painted notice. But a fateful misunderstanding gave Vietnam vet Caney the flashiest joke in the entire state. Twelve years later, the once-busy highway is dead and the sign is as worn as Caney, who hasn't ventured outside the diner since it opened. Then one blustery December day, a thirtyish Crow woman blows in with a three-legged dog in her arms and a long-buried secret on her mind. Hiring on as a carhop, Vena Takes Horse is soon shaking up business, the locals, and Caney's heart...as she teaches them all about generosity of spirit, love, and the possibility of promise-just like the sign says.

Download or read book Korean Americans and Their Religions written by Ho-Youn Kwon and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1965 the Korean American population has grown to over one million people. These Korean Americans, including immigrants and their offspring, have founded thousands of Christian congregations and scores of Buddhist temples in the United States. In fact, their religious presence is perhaps the most distinctive contribution of Korean Americans to multicultural diversity in the United States. Korean Americans and Their Religions takes the first sustained look at this new component of the American religious mosaic. The fifteen chapters focus on cultural, racial, gender, and generational factors and are noteworthy for the attention they give to both Christian and Buddhist traditions and to both first&– and second-generation experiences. The editors and contributors represent the fields of sociology, psychology, theology, and religious ministry and themselves embody the diversities underlying the Korean American religious experience: they are Korean immigrants who are leaders in their fields and second-generation Korean Americans beginning their careers as well as leaders of both Christian and Buddhist communities. Among them are sympathetically analytical outside observers. Korean Americans and Their Religions is a welcome addition to the emerging literature in the sociology of &"new immigrant&" religious communities, and it provides the fullest portrait yet of the Korean religious experience in America.
