Book Synopsis The Practice Co - Volume Three by : Liz Milani
Download or read book The Practice Co - Volume Three written by Liz Milani and published by New Luminary Media. This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2012 I began writing (and designing) short devotional pieces. We posted them on Instagram thinking that our friends and family would politely like them. But to our absolute shock, complete strangers liked them, too. A few years on, and here we are. I never dreamed that Pocket Fuel would turn into this practice and lead me to you. I'm forever grateful for it, no matter how rudimentary and humble our beginnings were.Not too long into our Instagram experiment, we found ourselves asking deeper questions around our faith. Everything we thought we knew; thought we had a handle on; thought was secure and for always; was challenged, questioned, and stripped bare. We experienced tragedy at home, and at work. We quit our jobs as Pastors, and started from scratch (faith and vocation) in our mid thirties. But through what felt like the death of all we thought we knew and would be, we found beauty and community. Our faith has a vibrancy that it was once devoid of. And our questions and doubts? I no-longer feel guilty for having them. They are an active part of my faith.

Book Synopsis Heroes:What They Do and Why We Need Them by : Scott T. Allison
Download or read book Heroes:What They Do and Why We Need Them written by Scott T. Allison and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2010-10-29 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abraham Lincoln, Princess Diana, Rick in Casablanca--why do we perceive certain people as heroes? What qualities do we see in them? What must they do to win our admiration? In Heroes, Scott T. Allison and George R. Goethals offer a stimulating tour of the psychology of heroism, shedding light on what heroism and villainy mean to most people and why heroes--both real people and fictional characters--are so vital to our lives. The book discusses a broad range of heroes, including Eleanor Roosevelt, Walt Kowalski in Gran Torino, Senator Ted Kennedy, and explorer Ernest Shackleton, plus villains such as Shakespeare's Iago. The authors highlight the Great Eight traits of heroes (smart, strong, selfless, caring, charismatic, resilient, reliable, and inspiring) and outline the mental models that we have of how people become heroes, from the underdog who defies great odds (David vs. Goliath) to the heroes who redeem themselves or who overcome adversity. Brimming with psychological insight, Heroes provides an illuminating look at heroes--and into our own minds as well.
Book Synopsis The Biblical Hero by : Elliott Rabin
Download or read book The Biblical Hero written by Elliott Rabin and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-03-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Approaching the Bible in an original way—comparing biblical heroes to heroes in world literature—Elliott Rabin addresses a core biblical question: What is the Bible telling us about what it means to be a hero? Focusing on the lives of six major biblical characters—Moses, Samson, David, Esther, Abraham, and Jacob—Rabin examines their resemblance to hero types found in (and perhaps drawn from) other literatures and analyzes why the Bible depicts its heroes less gloriously than do the texts of other cultures: * Moses founds the nation of Israel—and is short-tempered and weak-armed. * Samson, arrogant and unhinged, can kill a thousand enemies with his bare hands. * David establishes a centralized, unified, triumphal government—through pretense and self-deception. * Esther saves her people but marries a murderous, misogynist king. * Abraham's relationships are wracked with tension. * Jacob fathers twelve tribes—and wins his inheritance through deceit. In the end, is God the real hero? Or is God too removed from human constraints to even be called a “hero”? Ultimately, Rabin excavates how the Bible’s unique perspective on heroism can address our own deep-seated need for human-scale heroes.

Download or read book Different written by Sally Clarkson and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2017-01-24 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nathan was different and Sally knew it. From his early childhood, Nathan was bursting with creativity and uncontainable energy, struggling not only with learning issues but also with anxiety and OCD. He saw the world through his own unique lens—one that often caused him to be labeled as “bad,” “troubled,” or someone in need of “fixing.” Bravely choosing to listen to her motherly intuition rather than the loud voices of the world, Sally dared to believe that Nathan’s differences could be part of an intentional design from a loving Creator with a plan for his life. She trusted that the things that made him different were the very things that could make him great. Join Sally and Nathan as they share their stories from a personal perspective as mother and son. If you are in need of help and hope in your own journey with an outside-the-box child, or if you’re an adult trying to make sense of your differences, you’ll find deep insight, resonance, and encouragement in the pages of this book. Dare to love and nurture the “different” one in your life.
Book Synopsis 101 Bible Heroes by : Todd M. Cotton
Download or read book 101 Bible Heroes written by Todd M. Cotton and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "History" is "HIS STORY." It might be easy to assume that a "Bible Hero" is anyone named in the Bible, but it depends on your definition of a hero. To understand what Bible heroes are, we first need to understand what the Bible is. From the perspective of history and literature, the Bible is a library of books, covering thousands of years of history, written by many different authors from diverse cultures. That is helpful and interesting, but there is more. The Bible is the Word of God: God's revelation of who He is and what He has done. The Divine Author has woven a thread throughout the Book that ties it all together: the Big Hero Story. What is the Big Hero Story of the Bible? The Story is God's redemption of sinful, fallen humanity. God Himself is the Hero, invisible to human view until the Hero became the Man Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Promised in the very first pages of the Old Testament and revealed in the pages of the New Testament, Jesus of Nazareth is ..".the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation." To purchase humanity's redemption from sin and death, the sinless God-man paid our penalty on the cross. Jesus didn't just sacrifice himself for people who liked him, but for all sinful people, whom the Bible calls "enemies" of God. In Romans 5:7, the Apostle Paul makes the point that rarely will someone die for a good person. The uncommon situation does happen when a hero sacrifices himself for friends or loved ones, But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. The Bible, the Ultimate Story, is the story of a Hero giving himself for others who don't know or understand why. So, the Ultimate Hero of the Ultimate Story helps us understand what a hero is: someone who does what no one else would or could do so that others might benefit, with no thought of personal gain. In the Bible, the primary "Hero Story" is fleshed out by many smaller "hero stories." The Scriptures are a collection of stories that are framed by the Big Story of God's redemption through Jesus Christ. In other words, the small "hero stories" are not disconnected from each other. They are connected and defined by the Big Hero Story. These small hero story characters demonstrate real people living and acting in time and space. These characters are historical, and though the world may scoff at Bible history, people of faith find these stories the most heroic stories in all the world. It might be helpful to categorize Bible heroes in four ways: 1.Characters who were God's heroic INSTRUMENTS. There are a few unusual Bible heroes that God used in very specific situations. 2.Characters with heroic FAITH. "Faith" is defined as "active trust and belief displayed through obedience." The Bible itself tells us that people of faith are key characters in God's redemptive story. Hebrews 11 has been called the "Hall of Faith." It lists names of Biblical people who were notable for their faith in God. Biblical heroes of FAITH were most often simple people with extraordinary trust. 3.Characters with heroic ACTIONS. These are the stories that are most well known. Heroes of ACTION did what had to be done to save or help others. Most of these heroes had some serious issues, but their ACTIONS made them heroic. 4.Characters with heroic NATURE. This is the narrowest of all categories, with only a few falling into it. Of course, the most important one is Jesus Christ Himself, whose heroic nature defines all other heroes for us. Some of the Bible heroes may fit in more than one category, but each of their stories weaves the fabric of the Big Hero Story together. May this journey from Genesis to Revelation with the Bible heroes fill you with the grace, peace, and wonder of God as you travel.

Book Synopsis Samson and His Faith by : Vincent Cheung
Download or read book Samson and His Faith written by Vincent Cheung and published by Vincent Cheung. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many people's thinking, Samson is inseparably connected to Delilah, and they seem to think that the entirety of his life as recorded in Scripture has to do with his moral weaknesses and sexual lusts. Thus they say that he is the classic case of one who has "charisma without character." However, that is an incomplete and inaccurate portrayal of his life. The Scripture's own commentary on Samson is that he was a man of faith, one of whom "the world was not worthy" (Hebrews 11:38).

Book Synopsis A Hero's Life in Christ by : Edward Eugene Wade Jr.
Download or read book A Hero's Life in Christ written by Edward Eugene Wade Jr. and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2006-08-05 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book grew out of a series of messages Pastor Wade preached from II Peter. While he studied the passage to prepare the messages for the congregation, his heart was touched in a special way. He noticed that Peter had so much to say in so few words. Pastor was introduced to a whole new way of viewing the practical, working, and spirit filled Christian life. What he saw in this passage was that every Christian that lives the Spirit filled life, is looked upon as a hero in God's eyes. He noticed that what God attributed to heroism was very different than the human concept of what a hero looks like. It's a good feeling to know what pleases God and to know that you can do it. Pastor Wade felt a great need to share these practical principles of a hero's life with more than just his congregation. This book takes the precept and idea of "virtue" in your life and separates it into bite size pieces, easily digestible. Each concept of the virtuous life is explained and Pastor Wade even entertains the reader with some real life threatening experiences he had while he was a firefighter. These experiences relate to the concepts of the hero's life as you will see and the blessing is this; After you read this book you too will be equipped with the insider information you need to live a pleasing to God, Hero's Life In Christ!"
