Download or read book Faith in Honesty written by Andrew Shanks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How, if at all, is religious faith 'true'? The starting point for this book is that traditional Christian theology overvalues the importance of 'correctness'. What really counts far more is 'Honesty'. Not just sincerity or frankness, but Honesty in the sense of a sheer openness to the Other. A set of skills, Andrew Shanks argues, which the church has very much still to learn. True faith in God is faith in Honesty. But theological Honesty has three faces. It stands equally opposed to banality, manipulation, the mere disowning of history. This book thus presents a whole new approach to the doctrine of the Trinity. A fresh stimulus to theological debate at academic, student and more popular levels.

Book Synopsis Where Prayer Becomes Real by : Kyle Strobel
Download or read book Where Prayer Becomes Real written by Kyle Strobel and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we're honest, most of us feel bored, distracted, or discouraged in prayer. We look for resources to give us the "right" words or teach us the "right" technique and are disappointed when they don't seem to help. What we fail to realize is that prayer isn't a place for us to be good or right, and it isn't a place for us to perform or prove our worth. It's a place for us to be honest, present, and known--a place for us to offer ourselves and receive God. Spiritual formation experts Kyle Strobel and John Coe want to show you what you've been missing when it comes to prayer. In this down-to-earth book, they show you how to fearlessly draw near to a holy God, pray without ceasing (and without posturing), and delight in the experience of being fully known and fully loved. Each chapter ends with prayer projects or practices to help you see a difference in your prayer life, starting now.

Download or read book Experiments in Honesty written by Steve Daugherty and published by Worthy Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there anything left to learn about God’s love? When Jesus was asked what mattered most to God, his answer was seemingly simple: love God earnestly and love others the way you want to be loved. In his debut book, Steve Daugherty dives deep into this command and what it means for those who follow Jesus. Throughout Experiments in Honesty, Steve shares stories from the Bible and his own life to explore the ideas of compassion, fear, anger, and faith. This journey will lead all who want to follow Jesus to understand the truth about God’s Love—that it sets us free from fear and allows us to love others more than ourselves. That is, after all, what matters most.
Book Synopsis Honest to God Preaching by : Brent A. Strawn
Download or read book Honest to God Preaching written by Brent A. Strawn and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2021-12-07 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Old Testament scholar and interpreter Brent A. Strawn focuses on the importance of honesty in preaching, especially around three challenging Old Testament themes: sin, suffering, and violence. He makes the case that preaching honestly is critical in the church today. Without honesty regarding these topics, there is no way forward to reconciliation, health, and recovery. Further, it is imperative for today's preachers to deal with the questions of faith arising from these themes in the biblical text itself. In addition to key scripture passages, he turns to several contemporary authors and works as dialogue partners on the three themes. Asserting that keeping secrets can lead to a kind of sickness, Strawn uses texts from the Pentateuch and the Psalms to model honesty about sin, without which there can be no reconciliation, and honesty about suffering, without which there can be no healing. He also looks at the book of Joshua and various psalms to model honesty about violence, which can serve as a way to contain, limit, and ultimately transcend violence. Strawn frames these themes specifically for working preachers, so they can create sermons that speak to these thorny themes with depth and clarity.
Book Synopsis Spiritual Integrity by : Martin S. Cohen
Download or read book Spiritual Integrity written by Martin S. Cohen and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-10-22 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Spiritual Integrity, Martin S. Cohen argues that it is possible for a serious commitment to religion to coexist with a parallel commitment to the absolute integrity of the intellect. Written for people of all faiths by a working rabbi with decades of experience in the pulpit, Spiritual Integrity is its author’s attempt to use the evidence of his own faith to demonstrate that it is entirely possible to use the traditional trappings of religious commitment to live honestly in the world as a person of faith.
Book Synopsis Faith in the Shadows by : Austin Fischer

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People don't abandon faith because they have doubts. People abandon faith because they think they're not allowed to have doubts. Even as a pastor, Austin Fischer has experienced the shadows of doubt and disillusionment. Leaning into perennial questions about Christianity, he shows that doubt is no reason to leave the faith—instead, it's an invitation to a more honest faith.
Download or read book Crisis of Doubt written by Timothy Larsen and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2006-11-17 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Victorian crisis of faith has dominated discussions of religion and the Victorians. Stories are frequently told of prominent Victorians such as George Eliot losing their faith. This crisis is presented as demonstrating the intellectual weakness of Christianity as it was assaulted by new lines of thought such as Darwinism and biblical criticism. This study serves as a corrective to that narrative. It focuses on freethinking and Secularist leaders who came to faith. As sceptics, they had imbibed all the latest ideas that seemed to undermine faith; nevertheless, they went on to experience a crisis of doubt, and then to defend in their writings and lectures the intellectual cogency of Christianity. The Victorian crisis of doubt was surprisingly large. Telling this story serves to restore its true proportion and to reveal the intellectual strength of faith in the nineteenth century.

Book Synopsis Authentic Christianity by : Peter Watts
Download or read book Authentic Christianity written by Peter Watts and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-29 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a follower of Jesus, you value honest and transparent relationships with others. Yet you continue to discover that these characteristics seem to be rare within Christian churches. It doesn't help the matter that a culture of detached professionalism pervades, not only in the contemporary workforce, but within these same Christian communities. Because of this, Christians are not widely known for authenticity. You may even feel stifled in the congregation you've been part of for years-and you wouldn't be the only one. When silence permeates a church, the domino effect can topple the members' ability to truly relate to and understand one another. Yet the path of Jesus offers lessons in authenticity that are still relevant to his followers today. Authentic Christianity examines what Christ's life tells us about living authentically and explores cultural reasons for our inability to flourish in this area. This book demonstrates that you don't have to choose between being a Christian and being an authentic human being. Following Jesus will lead you on a risky but meaningful (even necessary) path that faces and engages with our common need for authenticity and authentic relationships with others.

Download or read book Honor written by Kenneth Copeland and published by Destiny Image Publishers. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In my study of the Word of God, I discovered something very important about honor. Honor carries and is supported by the supernatural power of God. An honorable man may look like a lamb being led to the slaughter. He may look like he has just stuck out his chin for someone to hit. He appears this way because he lives by biblical teachings and principles. If we choose to do the honorable thing if we choose to live by the Word of God then the honor of God will hold us up. He has promised us that He will honor us when we honor Him." Kenneth Copeland. Honor Today, almost an entire generation has never experienced God s honor and presence. Now we live in a dishonorable society because the concept of honor is not being passed on from parent to child. Many parents don't even know what it means to be honorable. What Does Honor Mean? This powerful and scriptural look at the biblical definition of honor will challenge you to live the honorable life and demonstrate that God has provided a way to live and succeed the honorable way.
