Download or read book Simply Christian written by N. T. Wright and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2010-02-09 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is justice fair? Why are so many people pursuing spirituality? Why do we crave relationship? And why is beauty so beautiful? N. T. Wright argues that each of these questions takes us into the mystery of who God is and what he wants from us. For two thousand years Christianity has claimed to answer these mysteries, and this renowned biblical scholar and Anglican bishop shows that it still does today. Like C. S. Lewis did in his classic Mere Christianity, Wright makes the case for Christian faith from the ground up, assuming that the reader is starting from ground zero with no predisposition to and perhaps even some negativity toward religion in general and Christianity in particular. His goal is to describe Christianity in as simple and accessible, yet hopefully attractive and exciting, a way as possible, both to say to outsides ÔYou might want to look at this further,Ö and to say to insiders ÔYou may not have quite understood this bit clearly yet.Ö

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible’s final book, Revelation, can seem intimidating or downright impossible to comprehend, but this guided tour by Bible scholar Tim LaHaye and renowned puzzle master Timothy E. Parker makes it easily understandable.

Yet the capstone of the canon need not remain a mystery. Cleverly designed for maximum learning and retention, this book covers every verse of Revelation step by step and, for each grouping of verses, includes a short three-question pre-quiz; the passage of scripture being addressed; a precise explanation of what the scripture means; and, finally, the same three questions repeated with the answers provided. By following this method, you will be amazed at how well you retain the teachings. Absorb this book and discover afresh?or for the first time?the richness of Revelation and its God-breathed, life-changing power to deepen your walk of faith.
Download or read book Understanding Jesus written by Joe Amaral and published by FaithWords. This book was released on 2011-09-10 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern-day Christians often bring their own presuppositions and assumptions to the reading of the Bible, not realizing how deeply their understanding of Christ's life and teachings is affected by a 21st-century worldview. In Understanding Jesus, author Joe Amaral delves deep into Jewish history, societal mores, and cultural traditions, closing the gap created by geographical distance and over two thousand years of history. Using a chronological approach to the life of Christ, he guides the reader through significant events such as Jesus' birth, baptism, and crucifixion, pointing out illuminating details that that the Western mind would normally miss. Amaral's premise is that to understand Jesus, we must understand the time and place in which he was born, the background from which he drew his illustrations, and the audience he spoke to. Throughout the book he explores specific terms, places, and events for their significance and shows how they add richness and meaning to the text. Topics include the connection between Jesus and John the Baptist, the annual Feasts and why they are important to modern Christianity, Jewish customs such as foot-washing, clean and unclean foods, paying tribute to political governments, and the significance of various miracles. In Understanding Jesus, Amaral draws back the curtain on a way of life that existed during the reign of the Caesars, and in doing so, reveals truths about the way we live more than two thousand years later, half a world away.

Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage
Download or read book Finding Reasons to Believe in Life s Challenging Questions written by Keith Welton and published by . This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do I know God exists? How do I know the Bible is the word of God? If God is good, why is there evil? How can you believe a religion that sends people to hell? Who am I and what is my purpose? If God is real where the hell is he? What's with this born again stuff? What can I trust in when everything lets me down? What is Christianity really about? These questions can gnaw away at our faith and make believing in God seem ludicrous. Typically our problem is not that we think about the questions, but that we do not think about them enough. If we press into them we can find they actually lead to reasons for believing. Reasons to Believe answers these challenging questions in a clear and logical way that all people can understand. You don't need a philosophy degree to get substantive answers to your questions. Reasons to Believe also gives a foundational understanding of Christianity and points to the basics of the faith, namely the work of Jesus Christ, as the solution to these questions and problems. Great for Christians and non-Christians, those with questions or those trying to answer questions.
Download or read book Christianity Made Simple written by Rev Grace Komolafe and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I heard the message of the gospel and responded to it, I did not understand the change it brought to me. I had become a child of God, but living the Christian life was very difficult and complicated. Religious practices and man-made traditions failed to help me live in victory. Later, in fact very later, I found out through the Word of God, that Christianity is simple, God is not complicated, our new life in Christ is real and simple. Satan will always take advantage of ignorance of the simplicity of God and His life in us. The purpose of this book therefore, is to enable believers to understand their new life in Christ Jesus so that they can enjoy it to the fullest. It will also help in our attempt to explain the gospel clearly to those who are yet to come to Christ so they can have a strong foundation right from the beginning of their faith.
