Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Supernatural and the Circuit Riders, Rimi Xhemajli shows how a small but passionate movement grew and shook the religious world through astonishing signs and wonders. Beginning in the late eighteenth century, early American Methodist preachers, known as circuit riders, were appointed to evangelize the American frontier by presenting an experiential gospel: one that featured extraordinary phenomena that originated from God's Spirit. In employing this evangelistic strategy of the gospel message fueled by supernatural displays, Methodism rapidly expanded. Despite beginning with only ten official circuit riders in the early 1770s, by the early 1830s, circuit riders had multiplied and caused Methodism to become the largest American denomination of its day. In investigating the significance of the supernatural in the circuit rider ministry, Xhemajli provides a new historical perspective through his eye-opening demonstration of the correlation between the supernatural and the explosive membership growth of early American Methodism, which fueled the Second Great Awakening. In doing so, he also prompts the consideration of the relevance and reproduction of such acts in the American church today.
Download or read book Confessions of a Circuit Rider written by Stephen Faller and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-12-21 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaplaincy. Pastoral care. Ministry. The care of souls. What lies beneath that which lies beneath them? Like Virgil, chaplain Stephen Faller guides an unusual tour winding through personal disclosure about ministry, adoption, chaplaincy, and disability. Contextualized within chaplaincy and clinical pastoral education, Faller examines these "visions from a little-known country." Within the landscape are the sights of living in a post-9/11 world as they prefigure the change and uncertainty that marked American life and ministry after the pandemic of 2020. A conclusion to "a dialectical inquiry at the end of the world," Faller explores the history of philosophy and religion in order to navigate an already unusual life within strange times. Essential reading for chaplains, and helpful insights for all those within the helping professions. As ministry continues to move beyond the surrounding walls of the institutional building, Faller suggests that chaplaincy can be a meaningful space for ordained ministry as one of the great "spaces between spaces." Moreover, this confessor's confession spells a way for storytellers and story collectors to find direction when meaning is lost. Chaplaincy itself is a meaningful response to a world turned upside down.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Circuit Rider on Foot: Or, My First Year in the Ministry Dear reader, this is my first effort at book-making. I do not know as one's experience become as interesting to others as to self. What one knows for himself may be of more worth to self than to any one else. Be that as it may, there may be great lessons drawn from other's experience. It certainly can do no harm to tell what one has known for himself in the line of duty. A minister's life is sometimes looked upon as an easy life. Some even think that is a pleasureable life, with little care and plenty to eat and wear. If there is any pleasure in the ministry it is not in the fact one is a minister, but rather in the fact that the duties of the office are performed to the best of one's ability. If there is a state of ease to one in the work it is the ease of conscience and not mortal laziness. A preacher's life is not a life of no cost and all pay.

Download or read book Pioneer Women written by Joanna Stratton and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From a rediscovered collection of autobiographical accounts written by hundreds of Kansas pioneer women in the early twentieth century, Joanna Stratton has created a collection hailed by Newsweek as “uncommonly interesting” and “a remarkable distillation of primary sources.” Never before has there been such a detailed record of women’s courage, such a living portrait of the women who civilized the American frontier. Here are their stories: wilderness mothers, schoolmarms, Indian squaws, immigrants, homesteaders, and circuit riders. Their personal recollections of prairie fires, locust plagues, cowboy shootouts, Indian raids, and blizzards on the plains vividly reveal the drama, danger and excitement of the pioneer experience. These were women of relentless determination, whose tenacity helped them to conquer loneliness and privation. Their work was the work of survival, it demanded as much from them as from their men—and at last that partnership has been recognized. “These voices are haunting” (The New York Times Book Review), and they reveal the special heroism and industriousness of pioneer women as never before.
Download or read book Servanthood of Song written by Stanley R. McDaniel and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-23 with total page 613 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Servanthood of Song is a history of American church music from the colonial era to the present. Its focus is on the institutional and societal pressures that have shaped church song and have led us directly to where we are today. The gulf which separates advocates of traditional and contemporary worship--Black and White, Protestant and Catholic--is not new. History repeatedly shows us that ministry, to be effective, must meet the needs of the entire worshiping community, not just one segment, age group, or class. Servanthood of Song provides a historical context for trends in contemporary worship in the United States and suggests that the current polemical divisions between advocates of contemporary and traditional, classically oriented church music are both unnecessary and counterproductive. It also draws from history to show that, to be the powerful component of worship it can be, music--whatever the genre--must be viewed as a ministry with training appropriate to that. Servanthood of Song provides a critical resource for anyone considering a career in either musical or pastoral ministries in the American church as well as all who care passionately about vital and authentic worship for the church of today.

Download or read book Through an Indian s Looking Glass written by Drew Lopenzina and published by UMass + ORM. This book was released on 2018-06-29 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography of the Native American writer, activist, and minister “brings Apess nearly fully to life, which no one else, among many scholars, has.” (Barry O’Connell, editor of On Our Own Ground: The Complete Writings of William Apess, a Pequot) The life of William Apess (1798–1839), a Pequot Indian, Methodist preacher, and widely celebrated writer, provides a lens through which to comprehend the complex dynamics of indigenous survival and resistance in the era of America’s early nationhood. Apess’s life intersects with multiple aspects of indigenous identity and existence in this period, including indentured servitude, slavery, service in the armed forces, syncretic engagements with Christian spirituality, and Native struggles for political and cultural autonomy. Even more, Apess offers a powerful and provocative voice for the persistence of Native presence in a time and place that was long supposed to have settled its “Indian question” in favor of extinction. Through meticulous archival research, close readings of Apess’s key works, and informed and imaginative speculation about his largely enigmatic life, Drew Lopenzina provides a vivid portrait of this singular Native American figure. This new biography will sit alongside Apess’s own writing as vital reading for those interested in early American history and indigeneity.
Download or read book A God Story written by Lynn Kennedy and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A GOD STORY For people who believe in Miracles. And for people who need to! This book chronicles divine intervention and provision by our incredible and indescribable God. It allows us to experience, albeit vicariously, a world and a country few of us have ever, or will ever visit. We will find ourselves in African villages, torrential downpours, prayer meetings, malnutrition centers, huts, worship meetings, church dedication services and living rooms. We will be brought to laughter and tears, brokenness and victory. We will have our hearts broken and our faith challenged. It is doubtful that we will ever view missions, missionaries or God the same ever again. And that is good. That is very good. Lynn Kennedy is the missionary/founder of Shattering Darkness Ministries, an evangelical church-planting ministry in West Africa. Lynn resides full-time in Burkina Faso.
