Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Georgia Jensen and friend, Ellie Forsythe, find themselves embroiled in another suspicious death when Georgia, against her better judgment, agrees to speak at a symposium for historians. The most Georgia expected was publicity for her one-woman retiree's business, "Historical Research, By George," not a dead body. But that's exactly what Ellie finds shortly after she joins Georgia on the final day of the symposium. Hoping the death of one of the speakers would put an end to what Georgia termed "two of the worst days of her life," their hopes were dashed when the final day wasn't cancelled, and the police ask that everyone involved stay on campus until they complete their investigation. Unhappy with having their vacation plans disrupted, Georgia and Ellie set out to 'help' the police uncover the real motive for the rising young historian's murder by following the victim's research trail through the 1920s. Wading through old newspaper microfilm, books and old city directories, they begin to realize that those efforts may not be enough to lead them to a cold and calculating murderer. The reason may lie in the past of one of others involved in the gathering of illustrious academicians, some of whom aren't exactly what they seem to be and something much more difficult to research. The deeper they dig, the more muddied the situation becomes. And their efforts may lead to naught. Unbeknownst to them, a killer is watching and waiting, prepared to put an end to their meddling if need be. As they move closer to the truth, the killer might just manage to do away with the problem of Georgia and her research, especially if Ellie doesn't find Georgia's note in time!

Download or read book The Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ written by Alban Goodier and published by Scepter Publishers. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Archbishop Alban Goodier, S.J. fills in the many blanks in the historical narratives about the Passion of Jesus Christ with a riveting account based on history, culture and his own deep spiritual insights. He brings to life and unifies the many observations, emotions and subtle and not-so-subtle actions that revolve around the person of God the Son as he faces his most tragic and triumphant moment. The author¿s unique approach intersperses Scripture accounts with the commentary of an incisive narrator who sifts and judges from the span of hundreds of years. He draws from the obvious as well as the obscure, and finds supernatural meaning in the most mundane actions that surround the suffering Christ. In the hands of this writer, the Lord¿s few words, accompanied by the author¿s commentary, challenge contemporary believers as much as they did those who first followed in the footsteps of Christ and his apostles. The author was born in 1869 in Lancashire, northern England and educated at the prominent Catholic college, Stonyhurst, which has been the source of many English Catholic politicians, intellectuals and business people. After a degree from the University of London, he was ordained a Jesuit in 1903. He served as archbishop of Bombay from 1919 to 1926 and returned to England to write and serve as a chaplain until his death in 1939.

Download or read book Apostle Paul written by Ralph F Wilson and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-05 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Apostle Paul is one of the most important teachers in the New Testament, authoring a large portion of the New Testament. His life and letters have guided, inspired, encouraged, and challenged the church for two millennia. But what makes Paul tick? The author contends that Paul's essential genius lies in his passion to know Jesus deeply and intimately. We can get ahold of this passion by exploring Paul's life and ministry over the course of 11 lessons. The narrative of the Book of Acts forms the basis of a chronological account of his life, with biographical elements included from Paul's letters. In addition, each lesson examines one or more of Paul's passions and key teachings, and how they can impact a believer's life, values, and commitments today. Some of these include: - Salvation by grace through faith, rather than by strict observance of the Law. - The passion to proclaim Jesus despite opposition and persecution. - Being totally surrendered to Christ, in Paul's words, "Crucified with Christ." - Knowing Jesus intimately -- in a way that surpasses everything else. Initially developed as an online study, this book is ideal for personal spiritual development, use by teachers and small group leaders, and for sermon development.

Download or read book Exalted Lord written by Randal Gilmore and published by . This book was released on 2011-10-21 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the exaltation of Jesus Christ as Lord based primarily on Luke's NT writings. When Jesus ascended after the resurrection, God the Father exalted Him as Lord at His right hand. "Exalted Lord" focuses on the real-life implications of Jesus' exaltation especially in relation to His ultimate defeat of sin, unbelief, and death. "Exalted Lord" can be used in groups or for individual study.From the Preface: "Every true Christian believes that Jesus died, was buried, and rose again. As important as these events are, they do not tell the whole story of Jesus. Following the resurrection, Jesus appeared on earth for forty days. On day forty, He ascended into heaven to be seated at the right hand of God the Father. Jesus " enthronement at the Father "s right hand marked the beginning of His exaltation as Lord of lords. His exaltation will culminate in His literal, bodily return to the earth, at which time He will utterly rout all of His enemies, making them His footstool.Presently, as our High Priest, Jesus is interceding for everyone who has believed on Him. As the exalted Lord of lords, Jesus also serves as a mighty general, orchestrating events on the battlefield that will lead someday to the utter defeat of all His enemies. Accordingly, even in the darkest of circumstances, we can be sure that the mighty Lord Jesus remains in control. He will win in the end. In the meantime, Jesus provides grace, power, meaning, and a sense of His presence so we might share in His victories."

Download or read book The Passion of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew written by Donald Senior and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Word of the cross is a living word, crying out for reinterpretation as life takes new shape and expression. Reinterpreting the Gospel was particularly compelling for Matthew's church because his Christians lived in a time of profound transition. The Passion of Jesus, then, was not simply a story of suffering out of the past but a point of identification for the Christians of Matthew's own time. For us twentieth-century Christians, who also know the peculiar suffering and hope of living in an age that is both dying and being born, the Passion of Jesus according to Matthew has special meaning.

Download or read book The Passion of Christ Strengthen Us written by Elmer M. Abear and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a result of our "insensitivity" to the will of God Mel Gibson's movie The Passion of the Christ may perhaps awaken our spiritual values and challenges us about the reality of heaven and hell in the afterlife. The Passion of Christ, Strengthen Us..., written by Dr. E. M. Abear, tells us that if we have for a moment what St. Faustina saw in her visions the brutalities done to Christ in Mel Gibson's film may pale in comparison to how sin offends God. However, the image of Christ on the cover gives us hope of His infinite divine mercy and introduces us to the "Kingdom of Heaven." What sets Dr. Abear's book apart from other writers is his scientific explanation about the death of the human blood in relationship to Christ's own divinity as He dies on the cross. The entire book tries to supplement what movies about Christ cannot fully articulate in words. Thus, after perhaps reading this scholarly dissertation of love and obedience, of sin and forgiveness, of Pope John Paul II's joy and suffering one may hopefully arrive to a better understanding and appreciation about The Passion of Christ. Book Review PASSION OF CHRIST, Strengthen Us Reviewed by J.R. Pingol The main message of this book is to make us understand that The Passion of Christ is the autobiography of our own life. The book starts by defining what is genuine love. The freedom of love according to the author is limited within the confine of God's will by which we all are obligated as creatures to obey, His Ten Commandments. Since we often fail to obey God's ten commandments (priests, nuns, lay persons alike) in our journey through life God bestows upon us, the gift of our conscience (which the author constantly makes references to Pope John Paul II's concept). Since conscience is often subjective to the will of man there are failures and successes when tested in a world that has gone increasingly secular. Forgiveness and generosity (chapter 3-4) heal the wounds of our misdeeds so we won't lose hope in our search for perfect happiness. By this the author introduces to us the kingdom of heaven (chapter 5). In this chapter we should not miss his beautiful insight of heaven as based from Christ's teaching nor his practical understanding of Christ's eight beatitudes .in relationship with our daily struggle in life. Having said that Dr. Abear points out the necessity of our knowing the ugliness of sin (chapter 7) so that no matter how we have sunk into the abyss of sins the two rays from the heart of Jesus (see cover) would show to us the abundance of His divine mercy, particularly available by those who would repent before He comes as a Judge. Chapter 12 opines with a new idea about the Passion of Christ which sets Dr. E. Abear's book apart from other writers. He writes about the physiology of human blood, how it separates into "blood and serum" and its scientific implication to the "blood and water" mentioned in the bible. In the absence of this scientific explanation for centuries most theologians had regarded the divinity of Christ as a mystery. No man in history has lived long after the blood in his heart turns into "water and blood." Indeed, the suffering of Christ in terms of our sinfulness is so brutal that it dwarfs the brutalities in Mel Gibson's movie. Mel Gibson is right: Christ dies to redeem 'the sins of humanity,' past, present and future, regardless of religion, color, or creed. Reflecting on the crucified Jesus reveals to us the autobiography of our own life. The 7th canticle of conversion concludes the book: Out of your divine mercy, oh Christ Comes my little faith Which out of my unbelief you deliver me from evil and embrace me for a new start.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1914, Luisa writes in a letter to the now Saint, Annibale M. di Francia: “I am finally sending you this handwritten copy of The Hours of the Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ. May it all be for His greater Glory. I have also enclosed a few pages where I describe the effects and the beautiful promises that Jesus makes to everyone who meditates these Hours of the Passion. I believe that if whoever meditates on them is a sinner, he will convert; if he is imperfect, he will become perfect; if he is holy, he will become holier; if he is tempted, he will find victory; if suffering, he will find strength, medicine, and comfort in these Hours; if weak and poor, he will find a spiritual food and a mirror in which to look at himself continually and so become beautiful and similar to Jesus, our model”.

Download or read book Jesus and Mel Gibson s The Passion of the Christ written by Kathleen E. Corley and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2004-08-25 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exciting and engaging book that will appeal not only to academics but to the film-viewing public, educated lay-persons and students. Not only will the book aid this audience in a greater appreciation of the film 'The Passion of the Christ' but perhaps more importantly it will enable the reader to distinguish between both the contents of the film and the contents of the Gospels and between the contents of the film and what may be historically reconstructed about Jesus. Furthermore the book will aid the reader to appreciate the contributions that the study of the Gospels and the historical study of Jesus can make to the discussion of the film 'The Passion of the Christ'.
