Book Synopsis Purring in God's Ears by : W. L. Seaver
Download or read book Purring in God's Ears written by W. L. Seaver and published by . This book was released on 2012-11-17 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people feel God is far removed from hearing or seeing their circumstances and He is not concerned about them. Such feelings or impressions are natural but totally contrary to what the Bible teaches in Luke's gospel. Are not five sparrows sold for two cents? And yet not one of them is forgotten before God. Indeed the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are of more value than many sparrows. (Luke 12:6-7 NASB) Thus, God knows the exact number of hairs on our head, even though that count changes every day or two. So we can be confident God is not distant, but very close to us. He is waiting for us to turn to Him and trust Him with everything. Even feral (wild) or dumped cats have some of those same feelings. They struggle to survive in whatever territory they find themselves. In some parks near where I live, there were a number of feral cats. For years they had lived off the scraps on picnic tables and trashcans. But their world turned topsy-turvy when commercialization changes took place. A restaurant opened up and the nearby marina was remodeled, resulting in less food available around picnic areas. Those beautiful and resilient cats were slowly starving to death. As I observed the struggles of these feral cats on my prayer walks, I realized I couldn't change some difficult circumstances that my family was going through; but I could do something to help these cats. When I got involved in caring and rescuing the cats, a miraculous realization occurred. First Kings, chapter seventeen, describes a drought that had come on the land of Israel and how God provided for the prophet Elijah during that difficult time. God's provision of water was from the brook Cherith, and God's provision of bread and meat was from the ravens, twice a day. The divine realization in my soul was that I was experiencing my own drought in my heart. I realized I had some misconceptions about God and His ways. God used the cats I was caring for to care for me in this difficult time just as He used the ravens with Elijah. I felt as though the feral cats ministered to me more than I helped them. As I became acquainted with each cat, their unique purr, and their special story that covers many years, I was inspired to write about them. Bible truths and principles that adults and children could identify with became obvious so I knew I must capture them on paper. Each true story is related briefly without a lot of needless detail so the reader can identify and understand the unique biblical perspectives and principles throughout the book. The story is always told from the perspective of a cat. Biblical references are not used in the stories, but they can be found in the prologue. In addition, there are colorful illustrations of the actual cats drawn by Jeanne Mack (www.jeanmackart.com) capturing the unique essence of each cat's personality. Special thanks to Jeanne for her passion for cats and her God-given abilities for painting them. The overall intent of this book is to encourage individuals that God never wastes time or our experiences. Everything that has happened to us throughout our entire life is for our good and the good of others. God promises to work out every situation, good or bad, for our benefit and His honor and glory (Romans 8:28).

Book excerpt: The God-given traits of cats ("you exist to serve me") and dogs ("I exist to serve you") are often similar to certain theological attitudes held by many Christians in their view of God and their relationship to him. Using the differences between cats and dogs in a light-hearted manner, the authors challenge this thinking in deep and profound ways. This life-changing book will provide a new perspective and vision for God as we delight in the God who delights in us.
Book Synopsis Why Every Christian Should Be A Vegan by : Ryan Hicks
Download or read book Why Every Christian Should Be A Vegan written by Ryan Hicks and published by Ryan Hicks. This book was released on with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today much of Christendom is closely associated with the eating of animals. Some churches even have hunting and fishing trips. Meat, eggs and dairy are a staple in most professing Christian’s diets. Is any of this in line with God’s will or pleasing to Him? Could it be that so many passages of Scripture that traditions have told us are teaching the ethics of killing animals are actually stating something completely different? This book takes a Scriptural approach to the subject of humanity’s treatment of animals, what God desires from us, and what the Bible says about it all. If you have been raised thinking that animals are here to be food for humans or for our entertainment, then by reading this book you will discover many edifying truths.

Book Synopsis Purring in God's Ears 3 by : W L Seaver
Download or read book Purring in God's Ears 3 written by W L Seaver and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-05-27 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purring in God's Ears: Book 3 is the third in a series filled with true stories about discarded or feral cats and foxes. I have been involved with cat rescue on my own and with rescue groups for almost twenty-five years, and these stories have come out of those rescues. Each chapter has at least one painting of the actual cat or fox compiled from numerous photos as well as other animal paintings pertinent to the stories. There are life values or lessons from each story at the end of each chapter. Every cat has a unique story and purr. The stories communicate the unique personality of each cat or fox and their struggles. At the same time, they should encourage the reader that God is available to help us no matter what our situation is and no matter our age. The difficult situations are opportunities for each of us to individually trust Him and see the outworking of His divine touch. It is my hope that readers will identify with many of the twelve situations described in this book and more fully understand the good that God has intended since eternity past.
Book Synopsis Feral Cats Changed Our Lives by : Janet E. Swinehart
Download or read book Feral Cats Changed Our Lives written by Janet E. Swinehart and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-25 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feral Cats Changed Our Lives: Adopt the Challenge By Janet E. Swinehart and David A. Swinehart While writing this book, Janet E. Swinehart looked to God and knows He has given these wonderful creatures, these feral, rescued cats, Summer, Snippy, and Katie, to her and her husband David to love. Janet and David’s story tells about the patience, love, and disappointments that these friends have brought to their lives. Feral cats are not ordinary cats, and they have a strange nature. On many occasions, Janet found herself praying for herself and her husband, because at times her patience was thin. Summer, Snippy, and Katie are true feral cats, and though Janet was told in books never to try to train them (because it’s almost an impossible mission), she was determined they were going to become cute, cuddly, and friendly babies—but you will soon see that became a significant challenge! There were some very funny, as well as very scary times, and parts of the story may make you want to cry like she did. Though certain things could have been done differently, experience over time helped Janet and Dave to be more successful in their endeavors. Walk with them on this journey of raising feral cats, and learn from these episodes. The Swineharts believe that God gave them pets to keep them company and give them a release from the seriousness of day-to-day life. Hopefully, reading this book will inspire you to find a companion of your own to enrich life by caring for a future friend who needs a helping hand. So, put your kitty boots on, and be on your way!
Book Synopsis Eastern Orthodox Christianity and Animal Suffering by : Christina Nellist
Download or read book Eastern Orthodox Christianity and Animal Suffering written by Christina Nellist and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-10-25 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first academic work in Eastern Orthodox theological literature on the subject of animal suffering and human soteriology. It represents a natural progression of the contemporary Eastern Orthodox academic debate on the environment, and will be of interest not only to academic scholars in theology, religion, philosophy and ethics, but also to the wider Christian and secular communities. Using Biblical and Patristic teachings, together with new social science research and contemporary science, it presents arguments that animal suffering is against God’s Will, and that the abuse or misuse of animals or indifference to animal suffering will result in negative consequences for human salvation. The book posits a revisionist interpretation of the Noahic narrative when addressing the challenging question of why God allows the dispensation of animals as food, and offers compelling arguments on why the contemporary animal food production industries and animal testing model should be rejected.
Book Synopsis Lessons from a Stray Cat by : Sandi Snyder
Download or read book Lessons from a Stray Cat written by Sandi Snyder and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-04-12 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She was trying to make it on her own. She was just a half-grown, gray cat, apparently dumped at the side of the road. No one wanted her, and no one wanted the responsibility of finding her a home. The person who left her there probably carelessly assumed that she was old enough to take care of herself. She wasnt doing a very good job of it... The Snyder family already had a cat. His name was Jabez, and he had been adopted from a local animal shelter two years previous to the strays arrival. A second cat wasnt part of the Snyders plans. God had different ideas. When the small, stray cat entered their lives, the Snyders found themselves the recipients of the unexpected blessings of laughter, love, and lessons they would never forget. Using a warm, conversational style, Sandi offers the reader a months worth of charming anecdotes about the two cats, each coupled with a Bible lesson that warms the heart. Young and old alike will delight in this devotional study. As a special feature, journal pages are included in the back of the book, enabling each reader to record his/her own spiritual insights, thoughts, and prayers.
Download or read book Coconut Chaos written by Diana Souhami and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-12-23 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique travelogue in which the author journeys to Pitcairn Island—of Mutiny on the Bounty fame—with detours to eighteenth-century Tahiti and beyond. It started with a coconut . . . In the early hours of April 27, 1789, Fletcher Christian, master’s mate on the HMS Bounty, took a coconut from a pile on the quarterdeck. This random, seemingly inconsequential act set in motion a snowballing series of events that culminated in a revolt. In this strikingly original book, equal parts travelogue, memoir, and time-travel adventure, Diana Souhami moves across time and place, from eighteenth-century Tahiti to modern-day Pitcairn Island, from Knightsbridge to Tauranga, Mangareva to Tubuai. Along with Fletcher Christian, the sprawling cast of characters includes the unforgettable Captain William Bligh, who is cast adrift in an open boat on ferocious seas with eighteen men and no maps or supplies. Along the way, Souhami also introduces us to Pitcairn Island sex offenders, the Native American crew of a seventeen-thousand-ton ship called the Tundra Princess, her own elderly mother, and a mysterious lesbian aristocrat known as Lady Myre. Weaving together history, destiny, and chaos theory, this captivating adventure is for anyone who has ever yearned to travel to an exotic, faraway place.

Book Synopsis The Death of Judeo-Christianity by : Lawrence Swaim
Download or read book The Death of Judeo-Christianity written by Lawrence Swaim and published by John Hunt Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Israeli/Palestinian conflict is not mainly about politics, nor religion, nor even geo-politics. It is about pathology. The traumas of the 20th century have driven millions of intelligent, capable people into active psychological pathologies, which they experience as ideological realities. Some of the cult-like groups associated with Christian evangelicals and the national-religious settlers in Israel will settle for nothing less than an apocalyptic religious war to punish the world for allowing the Holocaust to happen.
Book Synopsis A CHRISTIAN FROM EGYPT: LIFE STORY OF A NEUROSURGEON PURSUING THE DREAMS FOR QUINTUPLE CERTIFICATIONS by : RAMSIS F. GHALY, MD, FACS
Download or read book A CHRISTIAN FROM EGYPT: LIFE STORY OF A NEUROSURGEON PURSUING THE DREAMS FOR QUINTUPLE CERTIFICATIONS written by RAMSIS F. GHALY, MD, FACS and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-01-23 with total page 661 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is my life story, as a Coptic Christian, raised in Egypt. Where no one from my family has ever moved away for thousands of years through the rise and falls of ancient pharaohs and deep roots of ancient Christianity. It is also the story of my parents raising 10 children since 1953 in an environment of extreme poverty where resources and opportunities were limited with unrelenting prejudice towards Christian minorities. So, I came to the United States, the land of opportunity, and became a prominent American neurosurgeon among the only 4000 active nationwide and the only one nationally and internationally to achieve five board certifications in five acknowledged medical disciplines. I continue to practice and serve the mission set before me. My home land was once prosperous and rich in history. Over the centuries, it joined the downfall of the majority of the developing countries of the world through its economic crises and injustices to many. It was the land for the fathers of early Christians and the foundation for worldwide Christians. Now the Coptic Christians are considered a minority constituting a mere 10% of the population and are joining the exodus of ancient Christians from their native African continent. This book chronicles my journey from the land of history, the land of my birth, to the land of opportunity, America. It outlines the socioeconomic and political changes that Egypt has seen over the last century. It is my hope that others may find inspiration and understanding of my culture through reading this book. I owe it all to Christ, the Lord, my cherished parents, my family and friends, my teachers, my mentors, and especially my beloved patients.
Download or read book Nick the Cat written by Roberta C. Bondi and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining her storytelling skills with theological insights and reflections, Bondi here tells the story of the stray cat Nick, who wheedled his way into her family's life, home, and heart. At first almost nothing but a pathetic bag of torn, matted bones, Nick arrived unexpectedly but quickly won their hearts. Under the care of a vet and the Bondis, he regained his health while receiving a home and much affection. His coming and going, his health and its decline, his insanity and death are gently told. Nick's presence prompts Bondi to reflect on the unexpected way grace comes into our lives and how we push away the Other, be it stranger, one who is sick, or a person of different orientations and beliefs. She also comments on evil and mental illness; on suffering and the atonement; on the unexpected nature of love; on the training of the heart and mind and the discipline of the Christian life for dealing with otherness; on the pervasive and persistent nature of sin; and, on the nature of embodiment, mortality, and loss.
Book Synopsis The Mushroom in Christian Art by : John A. Rush
Download or read book The Mushroom in Christian Art written by John A. Rush and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Mushroom in Christian Art, author John A. Rush uses an artistic motif to define the nature of Christian art, establish the identity of Jesus, and expose the motive for his murder. Covering Christian art from 200 CE (common era) to the present, the author reveals that Jesus, the Teacher of Righteousness mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls, is a personification of the Holy Mushroom, Amanita muscaria. The mushroom, Rush argues, symbolizes numerous mind-altering substances—psychoactive mushrooms, cannabis, henbane, and mandrake—used by the early, more experimentally minded Christian sects. Drawing on primary historical sources, Rush traces the history—and face—of Jesus as being constructed and codified only after 325 CE. The author relates Jesus’s life to a mushroom typology, discovering its presence, disguised, in early Christian art. In the process, he reveals the ritual nature of the original Christian cults, rites, and rituals, including mushroom use. The book authoritatively uncovers Jesus’s message of peace, love, and spiritual growth and proposes his murder as a conspiracy by powerful reactionary forces who would replace that message with the oppressive religious-political system that endures to this day. Rush’s use of the mushroom motif as a springboard for challenging mainstream views of Western religious history is both provocative and persuasive. The package includes a link to 252 striking color images depicting Christian art, with key motifs indicated by the author.
