Download or read book God's Love Story written by Brian Dowler and published by . This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God's Love Story gives a broad overview of the Bible, from start to finish. It is intended to help you grasp the story and purpose of God's plan for mankind. This book contains an assortment of verses, and is not intended to replace the complete Bible. Just like a movie trailer entices you to see the whole movie, reading God's Love Story will enable you to desire, read and understand the entire Bible as never before. God's Love Story contains selected and compiled portions of the Bible, placed as best as possible in chronological order, as a means of giving a readable and easy to understand synopsis of the Bible. By removing verse markings, the text reads much like a novel, and actually reverts back to a form more like the original text as first written down thousands of years ago. God's Love Story is divided into 39 compact chapters that can easily be read in one setting. Some explanations have been added, clearly marked in italicized font - these "transitional statements" are useful in bridging the gaps over sections that were not included, for the sake of brevity. They are simple, Biblical, and written without espousing any personal doctrine or beliefs - preferring to let the scriptures speak for themselves.The scriptures were taken from the World English Bible, which is not copyrighted and thus free to use.In God's Love Story, we see plainly the plan of God, which spans from the beginning of creation to the future coming of Christ. Even from the time God created this world, He knew that the sacrifice of his Son would be required to redeem us from our sins. Despite our faults, God loved us enough to set this painful plan in motion. We were created to glorify God, who enjoys our loving worship of exercising our free will and showing our love for Him in response to His love for us. By obeying and loving Him, we fulfill our purpose. In return, God has prepared for us a wonderful place of eternal bliss. This is the greatest story ever told. This is God's love story.
Book Synopsis Christian Love by : Bernard V. Komar
Download or read book Christian Love written by Bernard V. Komar and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2003-03-07 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bernard Brady has given us a rare, delightful, and thought-provoking book—a volume that belongs on the desk or the bed-stand of anyone in search of the rich and varied dimensions of Christian love. Christians are taught that God is love and are commanded to love, their neighbors and their enemies. These truths are not controversial. What is controversial and, indeed, has been controversial throughout the history of Christianity is the meaning of this love. This book explores the tradition of Christian reflection on the meaning, and experience of love, loving, and being loved. Many books have been written about Christian love, but no book has gathered together this kind of primary source material and covered such a wide range of perspectives, allowing the reader to engage directly with the thought and experience of some of the greatest Christian minds on the topic of love. Bernard Brady covers with remarkable clarity the breadth and depth of discussions on Christian love from the Bible to contemporary experience to create this-a survey of how Christians through the ages have understood love. Beginning of course with the Bible, Brady examines the key writings and thinkers on the nature of Christian love: St. Augustine; mystics such as Bernard of Clairvaux, Hadewich, and Julian of Norwich; the great tradition and literature of courtly love, Thomas Aquinas, Martin Luther, Sören Kierkegaard, and others. In addition, Brady devotes chapters to several 20th century figures whose lives seemingly embodied Christian love: Mother Theresa, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Pope John Paul II. Finally, Christian Love addresses contemporary deliberations over the meaning of love with an analysis of the modern writings of Martin D'Arcy, Reinhold Niebuhr, Jules Toner, Gustavo Gutiérrez, Gene Outka, Margaret Farley, Edward Vacek, and Don Browning. In a synthesizing concluding chapter, Brady offers his own insightful and introspective understanding of the substance of Christian love, suggesting that it is an affective affirmation of another, that it is both responsive and unitive, and that it is steadfast and enduring. As a beautiful contemplative companion to one's own spiritual understanding, or as a thoughtful and meaningful gift, Christian Love is in every sense a treasure to behold, read, and share with those you love.

A time when men sold their souls for a bag of gold and women sold their bodies for a place to sleep. Angel expects nothing from men but betrayal.

Slowly, day by day, he defies Angel’s every bitter expectation, until despite her resistance, her frozen heart begins to thaw. But with her unexpected softening comes overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. And so Angel runs. Back to the darkness, away from her husband’s pursuing love, terrified of the truth she no longer can deny: her final healing must come from the One who loves her even more than Michael does . . . the One who will never let her go.

Book Synopsis Jesus the Bridegroom by : Brant Pitre
Download or read book Jesus the Bridegroom written by Brant Pitre and published by Image. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling follow-up to Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist. Includes a reader's guide and an excerpt from Pitre's The Case for Jesus. In Jesus the Bridegroom, Brant Pitre once again taps into the wells of Jewish Scripture and tradition, and unlocks the secrets of what is arguably the most well-known symbol of the Christian faith: the cross of Christ. In this thrilling exploration, Pitre shows how the suffering and death of Jesus was far more than a tragic Roman execution. Instead, the Passion of Christ was the fulfillment of ancient Jewish prophecies of a wedding, when the God of the universe would wed himself to humankind in an everlasting nuptial covenant. To be sure, most Christians are familiar with the apostle Paul’s teaching that Christ is the ‘Bridegroom’ and the Church is the ‘Bride’. But what does this really mean? And what would ever possess Paul to compare the death of Christ to the love of a husband for his wife? If you would have been at the Crucifixion, with Jesus hanging there dying, is that how you would have described it? How could a first-century Jew like Paul, who knew how brutal Roman crucifixions were, have ever compared the execution of Jesus to a wedding? And why does he refer to this as the “great mystery” (Ephesians 5:32)? As Pitre shows, the key to unlocking this mystery can be found by going back to Jewish Scripture and tradition and seeing the entire history of salvation, from Mount Sinai to Mount Calvary, as a divine love story between Creator and creature, between God and Israel, between Christ and his bride—a story that comes to its climax on the wood of a Roman cross. In the pages of Jesus the Bridegroom, dozens of familiar passages in the Bible—the Exodus, the Song of Songs, the Wedding at Cana, the Woman at the Well, the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and even the Second Coming at the End of Time—are suddenly transformed before our eyes. Indeed, when seen in the light of Jewish Scripture and tradition, the life of Christ is nothing less than the greatest love story ever told.
