Book Synopsis Bulletproof Faith by : Candace Chellew-Hodge
Download or read book Bulletproof Faith written by Candace Chellew-Hodge and published by Jossey-Bass. This book was released on 2008-09-22 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thoughtful, practical guide shows readers a way through the minefield of condemnation and persecution faced by gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender Christians and helps foster a faith that is bulletproof—impervious to attacks, yet loving and savvy in its approach. Bulletproof Faith is filled with useful insights and proven spiritual practices that deflect attacks and enhance and strengthen faith by turning attacks into opportunities for spiritual growth. Praise for Bulletproof Faith "Gay and lesbian Christians are constantly demoralized and told they are not children of God. In Bulletproof Faith, Chellew-Hodge reassures gays and lesbians that God loves them just as they were created and teaches them how to stand strong, with compassion and gentleness, against those who condemn them." —Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu "It is an amazing truth that gay and lesbian Christians need to develop a bulletproof faith in order to survive the attack of other Christians. That, however, is the experience of many homosexual persons. Candace Chellew-Hodge has in this book committed herself to the task of making that survival a reality. I salute her and her work." —John Shelby Spong, author, Jesus for the Non-Religious "We know the Religious Right is wrong about same-sex relationships and it's time to move on. But how to withstand their relentless attacks and find lasting peace of soul? Candace Chellew-Hodge offers a practical guide. It met me right where I am. It will touch and help heal many others, too." —Daniel A. Helminiak, professor of psychology, University of West Georgia, and author, What the Bible Really Says About Homosexuality
Book Synopsis A Christian Survival Guide by : Ed Cyzewski
Download or read book A Christian Survival Guide written by Ed Cyzewski and published by Kregel Academic. This book was released on 2014 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one ever plans to fail in their faith. We all think we'll be the kind of Christian who follows the straight and narrow, ending our days with the relief of knowing we were ultimately a good and faithful servant. So why do so many leave that road? What enables some to survive as Christians when so many others have faltered? With A Christian Survival Guide, Ed Cyzewski steps up to be your trail guide and provide some possible answers. He addresses some of the biggest, toughest questions in Christianity, including: - Disturbing Bible stories - Hell and what it means - Does the Bible have to be "true"? - The question of evil- Money and the church- Evangelizing when no one wants to listen Candid and wry, Cyzewski deals with the tension of hard questions without resorting to empty answers, cliches, relativism, or the smug certainty that can so often drive seekers and strugglers further away. This popular blogger also has a knack of making long-ago biblical figures absolutely recognizable in today's issues. This survival guide is not meant to be a "one size fits all" handbook. It is a first step to confronting the big issues and challenges of a life of faith--even the ones that Christians fear most. Cyzewski writes for those who both care and question deeply, and offers survival tips to help readers move from living on the edge to a place of health and life.
Book Synopsis 0% Chance of Survival by : Kayden J. West
Download or read book 0% Chance of Survival written by Kayden J. West and published by . This book was released on 2007-12 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are cordially invited to accompany author Kayden Jayne West on her journey through the valley of the shadow of death. You are invited to share her emotions and inner thoughts as she experiences the effects of the death sentence pronounced upon her unborn grandson to the unparalleled exaltation she enjoys today with that 7 year old miracle child. The journey has been long, the road has been rough, but the battle has been won - proving that with God all things are possible. Kayden was living a typically normal life prior to the start of this journey. The journey begins with the doctor's cold, harsh words stating that the baby had a 0% chance of survival; the amniotic fluid was gone; the pregnancy had to be terminated, the baby's lungs could not develop and would not inflate, but would stick together at birth and the infant would not be viable; the skin would be transparent; the fingers and toes would be webbed; and the hospital saves their beds for mothers whose babies can survive. The journey ends with the prolific words of that 19 ounce, 12 inch baby - now a typical 7 year old, speaking about Gods law. Kayden's experience details her life beyond the everyday routines into the realm of faith and miracles. It allows you to walk with her through the dark times when the doctors said her grandson would not survive and through the triumphant times when God stepped in and said he would live. Kayden's faith has sustained her and she has been rewarded with God's answers many times. She can convey many personal experiences revealing the result of her faith and prayers, such as the time she stayed all night at the hospital and upon getting into her car realized that she was not physically able to drive an hour home and work the next day. She relates how she simply laid her head on the steering wheel and prayed to God - telling him that she was not able to drive home on her own, and if she got there, she would have to have his help. She doesn't really remember the drive home, but she knows it was not her hands guiding the wheel that took her safety home and through the next day at work; or the night she failed to notice her gas light was on and she was miles from the nearest station. Then, as she drove and prayed, she looked down later and the gas light was off and gas tank registered a quarter tank of gas. She knows the power of prayer and the true meaning of faith in God. Through it all, Kayden was never alone. God was always with her and she gives him all the credit for her ability to withstand the long road of fear and stress and never give up. She knows He spared the life of an unborn child who is now an instrument of God has changed the lives of so many people. Let him change your life too.

Book Synopsis Survival and Resistance in Evangelical America by : Crawford Gribben
Download or read book Survival and Resistance in Evangelical America written by Crawford Gribben and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-02-23 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last thirty years, conservative evangelicals have been moving to the Northwest of the United States, where they hope to resist the impact of secular modernity and to survive the breakdown of society that they anticipate. These believers have often given up on the politics of the Christian Right, adopting strategies of hibernation while developing the communities and institutions from which a new America might one day emerge. Their activity coincides with the promotion by prominent survivalist authors of a program of migration to the "American Redoubt," a region encompassing Idaho, Montana, parts of eastern Washington and Oregon, and Wyoming, as a haven in which to endure hostile social change or natural disaster and in which to build a new social order. These migration movements have independent origins, but they overlap in their influences and aspirations, working in tandem to offer a vision of the present in which Christian values must be defended as American society is rebuilt according to biblical law. This book examines the origins, evolution, and cultural reach of this little-noted migration and considers what it might tell us about the future of American evangelicalism. Drawing on Calvinist theology, the social theory of Christian Reconstruction, and libertarian politics, these believers are projecting significant soft power. Their books are promoted by leading mainstream publishers and listed as New York Times bestsellers. Their strategy is gaining momentum, making an impact in local political and economic life, while being repackaged for a wider audience in publications by a broader coalition of conservative commentators and in American mass culture. This survivalist evangelical subculture recognizes that they have lost the culture war - but another kind of conflict is beginning.

Historians of liturgy and theology will discover insights and important continuity between the Lutheran churches of the sixteenth century and their forebears of the late medieval period.

Download or read book Survival written by Adam Y. Stern and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2021-03-26 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a world mired in catastrophe, nothing could be more urgent than the question of survival. In this theoretically and methodologically groundbreaking book, Adam Y. Stern calls for a critical reevaluation of survival as a contemporary regime of representation. In Survival, Stern asks what texts, what institutions, and what traditions have made survival a recognizable element of our current political vocabulary. The book begins by suggesting that the interpretive key lies in the discursive prominence of "Jewish survival." Yet the Jewish example, he argues, is less a marker of Jewish history than an index of Christianity's impact on the modern, secular, political imagination. With this inversion, the book repositions Jewish survival as the supplemental effect and mask of a more capacious political theology of Christian survival. The argument proceeds by taking major moments in twentieth-century philosophy, theology, and political theory as occasions for collecting the scattered elements of survival's theological-political archive. Through readings of canonical texts by secular and Jewish thinkers—Hannah Arendt, Walter Benjamin, Franz Rosenzweig, and Sigmund Freud—Stern shows that survival belongs to a history of debates about the sovereignty and subjection of Christ's body. Interrogating survival as a rhetorical formation, the book intervenes in discussions about biopolitics, secularism, political theology, and the philosophy of religion.

Book excerpt: "I can't imagine a college student—skeptic, doubter, Christian, struggler—who wouldn't benefit from this book." —Kevin DeYoung For many young adults, the college years are an exciting period of selfdiscovery full of new relationships, new independence, and new experiences. Yet college can also be a time of personal testing and intense questioning— especially for Christian students confronted with various challenges to Christianity and the Bible for the first time. Drawing on years of experience as a biblical scholar, Michael Kruger addresses common objections to the Christian faith—the exclusivity of Christianity, Christian intolerance, homosexuality, hell, the problem of evil, science, miracles, and the reliability of the Bible. If you're a student dealing with doubt or wrestling with objections to Christianity from fellow students and professors alike, this book will equip you to engage secular challenges with intellectual honesty, compassion, and confidence—and ultimately graduate college with your faith intact.
