Download or read book Grace and the Great Controversy written by Gordon Kainer and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-07-07 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author reveals how grace is the heart of the gospel'a liberating, life-giving and comforting melody throughout the Bible. Grace is our certainty of eternal life and God's all-encompassing acceptance. Without grace, our religious beliefs are bad news, thus this book's advice, Grace: never leave home without it! Learn how God's grace is absolute and all inclusive; something we never deserve or earn! Grace offers the most refreshing peace we will ever know. Grace is the solution to every problem and menacing crisis threatening our planet. Rightly understood, grace points exclusively and continuously to Jesus. Then why is God's gift of grace so controversial or even difficult for Christians to accept? Could it be because grace is totally unbelievable, unexpected and undeserved? Is this why legalism, the enemy of grace, is so common and hard to recognize in ourselves? Grappling with these questions, the author reveals how, from Eden to our day, cradled at the very heart of the great controversy is grace.

Book excerpt: My memories of Grace never added up to how she really was. She was always impossible to pin down, dancing just out of my reach, exactly as she did when she was alive. Nora was a girl of twelve when the war broke out and she was forced to join the train-loads of evacuees leaving London's East End for rural Kent. Her surrogate family, the Rivers, are unlike anyone she has met before and she soon comes to love her new life with them, and in particular with twelve-year-old Grace. Over the next few years, as the dogfights rage ever more fiercely over head and it becomes clear that the Rivers marriage contains deep and irreparable cracks, Nora and Grace grow as close as sisters - though, to Nora's confusion, even this is not quite as close as she would like ...What happened next is a secret that will gnaw away at Nora for the rest of her life - a secret that she can only begin to tell when she is certain that she is approaching the end.

Download or read book Steps of Grace written by Doug Gonzales and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steps of Grace is the story of former Evangelical Protestant Pastor Doug Gonzales, whose faith journey led him from the most extreme and militant anti-Catholic views in American society today to becoming one of the Church's newest champions. Doug's conversion, like that of St. Paul, did not come from any desire on his part for something more than what he already believed was true. Instead, it was purely an initiative of divine grace. While Steps of Grace describes the theological and intellectual wrestling common to conversion stories, it does so in the most uncommon of ways. Besides witnessing to what are perhaps some of the most remarkable mystical experiences in a modern conversion story, Doug shares with the reader his own struggles, fears, pain, and loss. With brutal honesty, Steps of Grace is one of the most human and emotionally raw of conversion stories. Steps of Grace describes the beauty and truth of the Catholic faith with such clarity that those on their own journey of conversion will be led to ask the same question Doug did, "Why didn't I see it before?" Cradle Catholics may ask this same question as the story helps them to see and experience the wonder and beauty of their faith in a fresh way. More than anything else, Steps of Grace is about following and fulfilling our deepest of human longings-finding the Presence of God. This makes Steps of Grace perhaps less a conversion story and more a love story that illustrates how a person's love and need for the Presence of God led him to the last place he thought he would ever find it-the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist. This is not a walk in the park, but a walk of faith, led by grace, step-by-step. Doug Gonzales is a former Church of the Nazarene Pastor whose testimony of conversion to Catholicism has moved and challenged audiences across the world. A graduate of The Divinity School at Duke University, Doug spent nearly ten years as an Evangelical pastor and prison chaplain until his miraculous and amazing conversion to the Roman Catholic Church. Besides being a guest twice on EWTN's The Journey Home show, Doug has traveled the U.S., Canada, and Latin America sharing his conversion story to large conferences, seminarians, parishes, and even small prayer groups captivating audiences about the wonder and grace he has found in the Catholic faith. Doug's story continues to impact those who hear it in a way that few other modern conversion stories can do. Doug is also the proud father of three wonderful children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Readers loved Rachel's Secret, the first book in BJ Hoff's wildly popular new series, The Riverhaven Years, and are eagerly awaiting the continuing story of young Amish widow, Rachel Brenneman, and Irish-American riverboat captain, Jeremiah Gant. In Where Grace Abides, the compelling second book in the series, Hoff offers her readers an even closer look at the Amish community of Riverhaven and the people who live and love and work there. Secrets, treachery, and persecution are only a few of the challenges that test Rachel's faith and her love for the forbidden "outsider," while Gant's own hopes and dreams are dealt a life-changing blow, rendering the vow he made to Rachel seemingly impossible to honor. Many of the other characters first introduced in Rachel's Secret now find their gentle, unassuming lives of faith jeopardized by a malicious outside influence. At the same time, those striving to help runaway slaves escape to freedom through the Underground Railroad face deception and the danger of discovery. All the elements readers have come to expect from author BJ Hoff (romance, drama, great characters) join together in Where Grace Abides to fill the pages with a tender, endearing love story and a bold, inspiring journey of faith.
Download or read book Dam Nation written by Stephen Grace and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the scramble to claim water rights in the West during the fevered days of early emigration and expansion, running out of water was rarely a concern, and the dam building fever that transformed the West in the 19th and 20th centuries created a map of the region that may be unsustainable. Throughout the arid American West, metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles, Phoenix, Las Vegas and Denver need water. These cities are growing, but water supplies are dwindling. Scientists agree that the West is heating up and drying out, leading to future water shortages that will pose a challenge to existing laws. Dam Nation looks first to the past, to the stories of the California gold rush and the earliest attempts by men to shape the landscape and tame it, takes us to the “Great American Desert” and the settlement of the west under the theory that "rain follows the plow," and then takes on the ongoing legal and moral battles in the West. Author Stephen Grace, is a novelist, a storyteller, and the author of several non-fiction books on Colorado. He weaves the facts into a compelling narrative that informs, entertains, and tells an important story.

Download or read book The Sovereignty of Grace written by Arthur C. Custance and published by Classic Reprint Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a straightforward, clearly written book dispelling the notion that election and predestination are cold, austere doctrines from the mind of John Calvin. The author conclusively shows that these doctrines of grace are alive, vital and are the very heart of the Gospel itself. Explore useful practical applications of what is often thought of as purely theological matters. Experience the comfort of God's sovereign grace in daily life, here and now. Gain new insights into that paradox of God's sovereignty and yet our sense of freedom of choice and responsibility. Tackle knotty problems, such as, "Why bother evangelizing if election guarantees salvation for the elect?" By compelling and engaging reason, Arthur Custance points out the inconsistencies in the Arminian position (as well as others) and the undeniable necessity of embracing the doctrines known as Calvinism.--Publisher's description.
Download or read book The 2010s written by Emily Horton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-02-08 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume relates the British fiction of the decade to the contexts in which it was written and received in order to examine and explain contemporary trends, such as the rise of a new working-class fiction, the ongoing development of separate national literatures of Scotland, Wales and Ireland, and shifts in modes of attention and reading. From the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crash to the Covid-19 pandemic of 2020, the 2010s have been a decade of an ongoing crisis which has penetrated every area of everyday life. Internationally, there has been an ongoing shift of global power from the US to China, and events and developments such as the election of Donald Trump as US President, the emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement, the rise of the populist right across Europe and very gradually the incipient effects variously of AI. Nationally, there has been a decade of austerity economics punctuated by divisive referendums on Scottish independence and whether Britain should leave or remain in the EU. Balancing critical surveys with in-depth readings of work by authors who have helped define this turbulent decade, including Nicola Barker, Anna Burns, Jonathan Coe, Alys Conran, Bernadine Evaristo, Mohsin Hamid, James Kelman, James Robertson, Kamila Shamsie, Ali Smith, Zadie Smith and Adam Thirlwell, among others, this volume illustrates exactly how their key themes and concerns fit within the social and political circumstances of the decade.
