Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many U.S. Christians were profoundly moved by the liberation struggles in Central America in the 1980s. Most learned about the situation from missionaries who had worked in the area and witnessed the repression firsthand. These missionaries, Sharon Erickson Nepstad shows, employed the institutional and cultural resources of Christianity to seize the attention of American congregations and remind them of the moral obligations of their faith. Drawing on archival data and in-depth interviews with activists in ten separate solidarity organizations around the country, Nepstad offers a rich analysis of the experiences of religious leaders and church members in the solidarity movement. She explores the moral meaning of protest and the ways in which clergy used religious rituals, martyr stories, and biblical teachings to establish a link between faith and activism. She looks at the factors that transformed missionaries into skilled leaders who were able to translate the Central American conflicts into Christian themes and a religious language familiar to U.S. congregations. She also offers insights into the unique challenges of organizing on the transnational level and shows how the solidarity movement made U.S. policy towards Central America one of the most hotly contested issues in American politics during the 1980s. Unpacking the implications of her study for the field of collective action, Nepstad stresses the importance of the individual human agents who shape, and are shaped by, the structures and cultures in which they operate. She argues that working in and through the church gave supporters of solidarity moral credibility as well as a rich source of symbolic, human, and material resources that enabled them to reach across national boarders, motivating others to act upon their deeply held moral convictions. Shedding new light on the genesis and evolution of this important activist movement, Convictions of the Soul will be of interest to students and scholars of social movements, religion, and politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soul of a Citizen awakens within us the desire and the ability to make our voices heard and our actions count. We can lead lives worthy of our convictions. A book of inspiration and integrity, Soul of a Citizen is an antidote to the twin scourges of modern life--powerlessness and cynicism. In his evocative style, Paul Loeb tells moving stories of ordinary Americans who have found unexpected fulfillment in social involvement. Through their example and Loeb's own wise and powerful lessons, we are compelled to move from passivity to participation. The reward of our action, we learn, is nothing less than a sense of connection and purpose not found in a purely personal life. Soul of a Citizen has become the handbook for budding social activists, veteran organizers, and anybody who wants to make a change—big or small—in the world around them. At this critical historical time , Paul Loeb's completely revised edition—and inspiring message—is more urgently important than ever.

Book excerpt: In this highly anticipated release, Billy Holland gives us another treasured resource of inspiring stories and challenging topics and skillfully weaves them together with timeless spiritual insights. "Convictions and Considerations - Encouraging Stories for the Soul" invites the reader to contemplate about the will of man verses the will of God and how our devotion to Jesus Christ is measured according to how serious we are to yielding our life to His Lordship. With currently over 2 billion people on Earth identifying as Christians, Holland stimulates the truth seeker to closely examine covenant salvation and the sacrificial cross we have been called to personally embrace. Within these pages, the life-changing message of Heaven is clearly interpreted as intimately knowing our Creator and obeying His voice as the highest meaning and purpose of our existence. "In his newest work, "Convictions and Considerations", Chaplain Holland reveals his devotion to the truth of God's Word and his humility to serve as a consummate leader heralding the message of Jesus Christ. Billy's writings share his beliefs with the reader in a down-home style, just as if he was sitting at our dinner table sharing a cup of coffee with us. Faithful to purpose, quick to find humor in life, and providing a voice that speaks compassionately and resolutely in times of individual or collective need. I've personally witnessed Dr. Holland express his love for Christ with our residents in both large settings and intimate times of ministry. This anointed spiritual resource is just another example of his relentless devotion to serve God and humanity." Benjamin R. Sweger Major, United States Army, (Ret.), Administrator, Thomson Hood Veterans Center, Wilmore, Kentucky. As the author of, "A Lifestyle of Worship - Living in the Awareness of God's Presence" Dr. Holland is a consistent voice of hope and inspiration to audiences around the world. He is an independent minister and chaplain who devotes his life to writing, singing, and evangelizing for Christ. His award winning newspaper column, "Living on Purpose" is published throughout the country and enjoyed by many each week. Billy and his wife Cheryl reside in Central Kentucky and have two successful adult children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Convictions, Dialect and Separation: Communications of the Soul is about a boy becoming a man in a world where he must conquer an internal darkness. He ventures into death, ghost and the afterlife forming the foundation of an alternate spiritual world from the other side. Caught in between two worlds, one white like a canvas, the other black like receptive spirituality, the boy encounters the truths of his past, present, and future. His soul learns how to sense these worlds for the first time by crossing the unconscious darkness and finding the light. When one boys purpose was empty, a hollow shell incased his thoughts, until he found the self incarnate. Thus being an inhabitant of a soul, the body strives to express its essence between the two opposing worlds realization and hope. The higher truth struggles to set a tarnished soul free. Then, speech in the book is intended to generate power for the other people in the world to wield their spiritual sword of presence and strength. An underlying nature comes from his internal communication with the divine source of clear consciousness and the universal silence. Consciousness and self-actualization had no barriers and empowered levels of thought, only to find purity and forgiveness. The speculation of the worlds religious freedoms and the happenings of real time have the chance to change everything. When heart is relinquished of all of its fears, the soul will finally reside in a place of comfort inside of a now free body.

Book excerpt: Written by a wrongfully convicted man who spent 16 years in solitary confinement and 12 years on death row, a powerful memoir about fighting for—and winning—exoneration. In the summer of 1992, a grandmother, a teenage girl, and four children under the age of ten were beaten and stabbed to death in Somerville, Texas. The perpetrator set the house on fire to cover his tracks, deepening the heinousness of the crime and rocking the tiny community to its core. Authorities were eager to make an arrest. Five days later, Anthony Graves was in custody. Graves, then twenty-six years old and without an attorney, was certain that his innocence was obvious. He did not know the victims, he had no knowledge about the crime, and he had an airtight alibi with witnesses. There was also no physical evidence linking him to the scene. Yet Graves was indicted, convicted of capital murder, sentenced to death, and, over the course of twelve years on death row, given two execution dates. He was not freed for eighteen years, two months, four days. Through years of suffering the whims of rogue prosecutors, vote-hungry district attorneys, and Texas State Rangers who played by their own rules, Graves was frequently exposed to the dire realities of being poor and black in the criminal justice system. He witnessed fellow inmates who became his friends and confidants be taken away, one by one, to their deaths. And he missed out on seeing his three young sons mature into men. Graves’s only solace was his infinite hope that the state would not execute him for a crime he did not commit. To maintain his dignity and sanity, Graves made sure as many people as possible knew about his case. He wrote letters to whomever he thought would listen. Pen pals in countries all over the world became allies, and he attracted the attention of a savvy legal team that overcame setback after setback, chiseling away at the state’s faulty case against him. Everyone’s efforts eventually worked. After Graves’s exoneration, the original prosecutor on his case was disbarred. Graves is one of a growing number of innocent people exonerated from death row. The moving account of his saga—of his ultimate fight for freedom from inside a prison cell—is as haunting as it is poignant, and as shameful to the legal system as it is inspiring to those on the losing end of it.

Book excerpt: On the occasion of his seventieth birthday, the renowned scholar Marcus J. Borg shares how he formed his bedrock religious beliefs, contending that Christians in America are at their best when they focus on hope and transformation and so shows how we can return to what really matters most. The result is a manifesto for all progressive Christians who seek the best path for following Jesus today. With each chapter embodying a distinct conviction, Borg writes provocatively and compellingly on the beliefs that can deeply ground us and guide us, such as: God is real and a mystery; salvation is more about this life than an afterlife; the Bible can be true without being literally true; Jesus's death on the cross matters—but not because he paid for our sins; God is passionate about justice and the poor; and to love God is to love like God. Borg calls all American Christians to reject divisiveness and exclusivity and create communities that celebrate joy, possibility, and renewal. Throughout, he reflects on what matters most, bringing to earth the kingdom of God Jesus talked about and transforming our relationships with one another. Rich in wisdom and insight, Convictions is sure to become a classic of contemporary Christianity.

Book excerpt: Trying to understand how God's Spirit moves within us in the process of sanctification is very difficult at best. However, most people believe that we have three essential functionalities that God has created within each of us, which we consciously and unconsciously rely upon to live our lives. These functionalities are perspective (mind), passion (desires and emotions), and purpose (decisive choice and intention). It seems that God's Spirit, if we are believers, works to keep this sequential order in line with his will. He rarely chooses to take complete control of us, for he wants us to obey him with heart felt love and responsible choice. When our "inner person" is functioning correctly, we are living in faith and obedience to the Lord Jesus. Functioning correctly means that we are driven by our spiritual convictions, those which find their source in the Word of God and are whispered (sometimes shouted!) into our soul by God's Spirit. This book is all about finding, building and holding on to these critical convictions that the Spirit is working to establish within our minds and hearts. I've listed only 24 of them, but there are many more. These, however, are key foundational convictions, which, if consistently maintained, will bring great success to our spiritual walk with Jesus Christ. I hope you enjoy them, and with God's empowerment, I know they will help us all to embrace God's love in a profoundly practical and life changing way. Ed Kenerson attended Gordon College (B.A. Psychology) and Gordon Conwell Seminary (Masters of Religious Education) and has over 10 years experience in Christian Education and Youth Ministry. At present, he manages his own training and communications business called Steps To Success, delivering multi-media presentations to businesses in areas of career management, customer service, and other important areas of professional development. In addition, he serves area churches through his teaching ministry, "Faith Factory Construction Co." Ed is married to Kathy with two children (Bob and Kerri) and ten grandchildren - Ethan, Hailey, Garret, Skylar, Meadow, Marin, Sawyer, Delaney, Carly and Joey.

Many Christians tend to emphasize one or the other but not both. This book emphasizes the importance of merging the two to be truly like Christ. Though combining mercy and conviction has always been a challenge throughout history, it is especially difficult now as our culture is increasingly affected by a Postmodern worldview and the backlash against it.
