Book excerpt: "It is 1841. Japanese fisherman Shima and his younger brother are blown off course by a typhoon and wrecked on a barren island. By the time a passing Yankee whaling ship rescures them, Shima is starved, sunburned, and just wants to go home. But feudal Japan's shores remain closed to outsiders, and the ship is forced out to sea. An unwilling passenger in a world filled with foreign faces, a new language, and a hostile chief mate, Shima struggles to find his place aboard ship and gains the grudging respect of the third mate, Daniel Ellis. But when the reclusive captain suddenly falls ill, Shima and Ellis stumble upon a secret from his past that brings together their previously isolated worlds." -- p. 4 of cover.
Download or read book Practicing the Power written by Sam Storms and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible teaches us that we are to be filled with God's Spirit and that God's presence and grace is manifested among his people as they serve, love, and minister to one another. Yet some of the gifts that God offers to his people aren't commonly seen in many churches today. Gifts of prophecy, healing, tongues, and other supernatural gifts of God seem to be absent, and many Christians are unsure how to cultivate an atmosphere where God's Spirit can work while remaining committed to the foundational truth of God's Word. How can Christians pursue and implement the miraculous gifts of the Spirit without falling into fanatical excess and splitting the church in the process? In Practicing the Power, pastor and author Sam Storms offers practical steps to understanding and exercising spiritual gifts in a way that remains grounded in the word and centered in the gospel. With examples drawn from his forty years of ministry as a pastor and teachers, Storms offers a guidebook that can help pastors, elders, and church members understand what changes are needed to see God move in supernatural power and to guard against excess and abuse of the spiritual gifts. If you long to see God's Spirit move in your church and life, and aren't sure why that isn't happening or where to begin, this book is for you.

Download or read book Makedonia written by George A. Rados and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 881 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a stocky Thessalian merchant from Farsalos arrives in a small town seeking shelter, he is led to a building where he is welcomed by a servant-like elderly man. After Kloppas introduces himself, he finds it strange that the old man does not tell him his own name. Still, Kloppas brushes off a dark foreboding feeling and settles in to listen to the mans tales about his clan, tribe, and the wars that sometimes break out in his land. It is not long before Kloppas learns the mans nameAnaxarhosand of incredible times gone by. Kloppas becomes mesmerized by stories that lead him through years of history full of as much suffering as glory. Throughout the retellings, the Argead-Timenid creation and expansion of the ancient Macedonian state comes alive again as it is revealed how members of the House of Agis and other prominent lords worked together through their rivalry with the Greek city-states as well as the Persian wars, the Ilyrian and Thracian dangers, and the glory days of Philip II and Alexander the Great. Makedonia is the historical tale of an ancient peoples struggles to survive as the tables of fortune continuously turn from 700 BCE to beyond 323 BCE.
Download or read book Following the Way in Cana of Galilee written by Dale Weatherford and published by David Weatherford. This book was released on 2024-04-08 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Following the Way in Cana of Galilee” is Book #4 of “The New Way Series.” It is based on the first century manuscript “Acts of the Apostles” written by Luke. The first century was a turbulent time of history. Society was changing primarily because of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. After His resurrection, there was no Bible to follow, and various groups broke away and began to practice their own beliefs based primarily on tradition. In this book, characters from the previous books continue to grow and mature. Their faith is tested by troubles and hardships. They encounter radical teachings that rock them to the core of their beings. We see God calling some of them to leave Cana in order to share the New Way with others — some sacrificially choosing to remain single and traveling to unknown lands, giving up the comforts of home. Jesus said He was the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Come and see how following the Way impacted these young adults in “Following the Way in Cana of Galilee.” Watch as they boldly follow the Way by loving people that were considered their worst enemies — the Romans who ruled their homeland. Watch them follow, sometimes reluctantly, but ultimately triumphantly, where the Way led them. I hope you will look forward to meeting some new characters and hearing the story of the New Way impacting Capernaum, a much larger city in Galilee almost 90 miles north of Jerusalem. Book #5 of “The New Way Series” is entitled “Searching for Answers in Capernaum.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Has Gods Law, as defined by the Ten Commandments, been done away, as has been supposed by many? Does the new covenant allow free picking and choosing? Does the fourth commandment not matter anymore, or did God change the sabbath to another day? Are Christmas and Easter Gods holy days? Does grace make the Law unnecessary? Is it okay to erect a sun god statue and other images in our nation to represent liberty? Is God okay with the popular sexual lifestyles our nations Christian-professing people have? Should true Christians be pro-war? Is it okay to live richly on credit when one is only able to pay the interest? It is time for our nation to repent and turn back to our liberty-giver, the true God of Israel. Gods Law of Love is needed for liberty to thrive. The Ten Commandments still apply today. Find the thorough answers to the questions above and more within the pages of this book.

Download or read book It s a Sunrise Not a Sunset written by Ann S. Eagle and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-02-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered why we focus so much on sunsets and not sunrises? Maybe because it's easier to watch a sunset as it happens in a more convenient time of the day. Maybe it's just become a habit to photograph and paint sunsets instead of sunrises. The same can be true in our own lives. We can form habits of focusing on the sunsets in our lives, and when we do, we can miss the sunrises in them. The sun setting represents the end of the day while the sun rising represents the beginning of the day. In the same way, sunsets in our personal lives can symbolize the end of something or the loss of something, while sunrises can symbolize the start of something or the gain of something. When we think the sun is setting on our circumstances, maybe the sun is really rising. God is always turning our circumstances together for good. Is it time for you to proclaim, "It's a sunrise, not a sunset"?
