Download or read book The Purple Book Updated Edition written by Rice Broocks and published by HarperChristian Resources. This book was released on 2017-08-15 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's uncertain world, storms will arise that test your faith in a loving heavenly Father. At times, the winds and waves of the world's deceptions will roll in and seek to erode your confidence in God. Without a firm foundation in the truth of God's Word, you may be tempted to go off course and accept less than God's best for you. However, when you hear Jesus' words, receive them, and put them into practice, you will construct a life the torrents cannot shake, "because it was well built" (Luke 6:48). The Purple Book will help you understand foundational truths that God wants you to hear on topics such as sin, salvation, spiritual gifts, prayer, worship, generosity, and evangelism. It will show you how the Bible is "God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16). It will help you understand that the faith you hold has true power to change lives and transform nations. It will give you a solid foundation the enemy cannot dismantle—and a heart shaped by knowledge of God's Word.
Download or read book The Narrow Door written by Paul Lisicky and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Narrow Door, Paul Lisicky creates a compelling collage of scenes and images drawn from two long-term relationships, one with a woman novelist and the other with his ex-husband, a poet. The contours of these relationships shift constantly. Denise and Paul, stretched by the demands of their writing lives, drift apart, and Paul's romance begins to falter. And the world around them is frail: environmental catastrophes like the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, natural disasters like the earthquake in Haiti, and local disturbances make an unsettling backdrop to the pressing concerns of Denise's cancer diagnosis and Paul's impending breakup. Lisicky's compassionate heart and resilience seem all the stronger in the face of such searing losses. His survival--hard-won, unsentimental, authentic--proves that in turning toward loss, we embrace life.
Download or read book Enter the Narrow Gate written by Susan Muto and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2021-09 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road is easy that leads to destruction, and there are many who take it. For the gate is narrow and the road is hard that leads to life, and there few who find it." (Matthew 7:13-14) If life is a portal to paradise, then how we get there should be everyone's concern. Our Christian call is to know, love, and serve God in this world that we may be happy with him in heaven. In our day-to-day lives, this means finding and keeping to the narrow way that Jesus describes as the path to heaven. Fortunately, we have a vast collection of Christian classics to help us on our way, and one of the greatest is Saint Benedict's Rule. In Enter the Narrow Gate: Saint Benedict's Steps to Christian Maturity, Susan Muto draws from Saint Benedict's twelve steps to humility, showing how these steps give us a road map to the narrow way. Rooted in timeless spiritual principles, this book offers guidance and encouragement to find and stay on the narrow path, no matter how attractive the easy road may seem. The choices we make each day have eternal ramifications, and there can be no compromise between the narrow way and the easy road. Ultimately, each of us must face -- and answer -- this all-important question: Are we willing to enter through the narrow gate and follow the narrow way all the way to heaven? ABOUT THE AUTHOR Susan Muto, Ph.D., is executive director of the Epiphany Association and dean of the Epiphany Academy of Formative Spirituality. She holds a doctorate in English literature from the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. Muto has been teaching the literature of ancient, medieval, and modern spirituality for over forty years.

Download or read book The Five Marks of a Man written by Brian Tome and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2023-10-10 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A boy doesn't automatically become a man at age 18. What differentiates a man from a boy is the way he lives. A boy lives day to day, wants to be MVP, plays, wants the reassurance of the crowd, and is a predator. A man has a vision for his life, is a team player, works, has the courage to take a minority position, and is a protector. These are the five marks of a man. It's not enough to just know them. A real man aggressively pursues them on a daily basis. Drawing from his own experience and the lives of others, pastor Brian Tome calls on men to examine themselves and take steps in the direction of a fully realized manhood that honors God, respects women, elevates others, and works purposefully for an end greater than their own satisfaction or pleasure. It's time for men to step into their honorable place in the world and lean into a new reality--one defined by strength, purpose, and honor.

Download or read book The Narrow Path of God written by Xavier D. Scott, Jr. and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-29 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Book called The Narrow Path Of God is basically about teaching people the authentic gospel of Jesus Christ and explaining to people what it really feels like to walk this narrow path with Jesus because a lot of people have their own perception about what Christianity is and what it's about. Some people think that Christianity is about prosperity and blessings, some believe that Christianity is about going to church every Sunday and throughout the rest of the week they can live how they want to live, but the true disciples of Christ really knows the true definition of being a Christian. It's not about the benefits and the blessings, it's not about seeing how far you can get away with sin and still be in the Lord, it's not about being apart of a Christian organization and calling yourself a Christian because you have a title in the church it's about enduring till the end, denying yourself, and truly submitting to God's purpose for your life. Matthew 24:13 "But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." Luke 9:23 "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it."

Download or read book The Kingdom of God Suffers Violence written by John Elliott Williams and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-01-25 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The apostle Matthew recorded the words of Jesus in chapter eleven when Jesus said, "The kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent take it by force!" The revelation of this Scripture is the quintessential order experienced by God's elect as they seek God's Kingdom and His righteousness. This order supports the life experiences of humans on the earth as spoken in God's curse as the results of man's disobedience in the Garden of Eden. Not many Christians understand this order or the spiritual provisions God established in His plan for the world before it was formed. Jesus used the life of John the Baptist to illustrate the character one must have in seeking God's Kingdom. John, who by faith and blind devotion, surrendered his life to Jesus Christ and to God's Kingdom. Jesus said in verse eleven, "Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist. John's adult life was characterized by his tenacity to advance the knowledge of Jesus Christ despite the antagonism from Jesus enemies, the religious leaders of His day, the scribes and the Pharisees. John the Baptist was a man filled with love, faith and obedience to Jesus and to God's Word! He was a role model to those of us who seek the Kingdom of God despite the afflictions, hardships and sufferings one must bear! Taking the Kingdom by force refers to those who make a concerted effort to enter the kingdom in spite of violent opposition. This opposition comes in many forms including our carnal mind, which is enmity against God and the lust of our own human flesh. Individuals seeking the Kingdom must display certain character traits as revealed in this book, "The Kingdom of God Suffers Violence!" Unfortunately, not many Christian leaders have been privy to this revelation or its purpose in those God predestinated, called, justified and glorified before the world was made. However, in the fullness of time, these truths are being made known. As you read this book, please seek God's wisdom and understanding in order to rightly discern its contents.
Download or read book The Way to the Narrow Gate written by Dr. Ashwin Drummond and published by Ladder To Heaven. This book was released on 2023-06-12 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been specially written to focus on the finer nuances of the way to heaven. It is based on the writings in the Bible and not on the writings available elsewhere. Both in the New Testament and the Old Testament, the thrust has been on the remission of sins and salvation. The phasing of the ceremonial laws and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ has been explained in detail so as to understand the changing relevance of the way to the straight gate. In the ultimate analysis, the great mercy of the Lord in providing us with grace to make us easier to attain our goal has also been explained. The focus has been to lend a wholesomeness in the reading and understanding of our way to heaven.
