It is time for spirituality to get fresh meaning in our world and with God's people. In Out of theHouse of Bread author Preston Yancey leads us in a new direction of spirituality through the symbolism and experience of the spiritual disciplines made plain by the baking of bread. The benefits of this book of devotion include: Finding a nearness to the holiness of God Feeling and experiencing the forgiveness of God Learning again the disciplines of celebration, confession, and conversion Each chapter pairs a spiritual discipline or practice with a baking discipline. You will encounter ancient practices such as the prayer of examen, lectio divina, intercessory prayer, icons, and stillness. Yancey shows how, like in Brother Lawrence's kitchen in The Practice of the Presence of God, that when you lift up your hands to God and pray, God will show up right there in the midst of your work and livelihood while you bake. Out of the House of Bread is a glorious celebration of the sacraments and the seasons of God, meant as reminders and symbols to take us to God in worship. An appendix, about gluten-free and vegan bread and the spirituality involved, will close off the book.

Book Synopsis Exposition of the Gospel of John by : Arthur W. Pink
Download or read book Exposition of the Gospel of John written by Arthur W. Pink and published by . This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is our purpose to give a verse by verse exposition of the fourth Gospel in the course of this series of studies, but before turning to the opening verses of chapter I it will be necessary to consider John's Gospel as a whole, with the endeavor of discovering its scope, its central theme, and its relation to the other three Gospels. We shall not waste the reader's time by entering into a discussion as to who wrote this fourth Gospel, as to where John was when he wrote it, nor as to the probable date when it was written. These may be points of academic interest, but they provide no food for the soul, nor do they afford any help to an understanding of this section of the Bible, and these are the two chief things we desire to accomplish. Our aim is to open up the Scriptures in such a way that the reader will be able to enter into the meaning of what God has recorded for our learning in this part of His Holy Word, and to edify those who are members of the Household of Faith." Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian evangelist and Biblical scholar known for his staunchly Calvinist and Puritan-like teachings. Though born to Christian parents, prior to conversion he migrated into a Theosophical society (an occult gnostic group popular in England during that time), and quickly rose in prominence within their ranks. His conversion came from his father's patient admonitions from Scripture. It was the verse, Proverbs 14:12, 'there is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death, ' which particularly struck his heart and compelled him to renounce Theosophy and follow Jesus.

Book Synopsis Flying, Falling, Catching by : Henri J. M. Nouwen
Download or read book Flying, Falling, Catching written by Henri J. M. Nouwen and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2022-03-08 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henri Nouwen’s never-before-published story of his surprising friendship with a traveling trapeze troupe. During the last five years of his life, best-selling spiritual author Henri J. M. Nouwen became close to The Flying Rodleighs, a trapeze troupe in a traveling circus. Like Nouwen’s own life, a trapeze act is full of artistry, exhilarating successes, crushing failures and continual forgiveness. He wrote about his experience in a genre new to him: creative non-fiction. In Flying, Falling, Catching, Nouwen's colleague and friend Carolyn Whitney-Brown presents his unpublished trapeze writings framed by the true story of his rescue through a hotel window by paramedics during his first heart attack. Readers will meet Nouwen as a spiritual risk taker who was transformed through his engagement with these trapeze artists, as well as his participation in the Civil Rights movement, his life in community with people with intellectual disabilities, his personal growth through friendships during the 1990s AIDS pandemic, and other unexpected encounters. What will we do with our lives, and with whom will we do it? In this story of flying and catching, Nouwen invites us all to let go and fly, even when we are afraid of falling.

Book Synopsis Formed by a Dream by : Kristin B. Wee
Download or read book Formed by a Dream written by Kristin B. Wee and published by CSS Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kristin Borsgard Wee tells us that the scriptures are "endlessly fascinating, constantly surprising, and an unparalleled adventure in God's interaction with people." The same might be said of these first-rate sermons based mainly on texts from the book of Genesis. Readers will discover that Wee has an uncanny ability to place them right in the heart of the lections -- experiencing what the biblical characters did while at the same time revealing what God is trying to say to us that can transform our lives. By challenging basic assumptions and raising interesting questions, Wee is able to unveil some of the truths about God and human nature that are embedded in these sacred texts. These messages offer to readers, in the words of Anne Lamott, "a path and a little light to see by." Here is a preacher who knows her audience. The context for her sermons is all parish and the lives of her parishioners (all ages). She is a wordsmith and storyteller supreme. Her sermons are anchored in scripture. She has a great talent in mining the surprises that are in the text. For this preacher, law and gospel are never in doubt, but God's grace reigns supreme. This is one fine preacher. These are excellent sermons. I commend them to you. Glenn W. Nycklemoe Bishop, Southeastern Minnesota Synod Evangelical Lutheran Church in America Pastor Wee writes about the practical and everyday issues of life with a distinctly human touch. Through her sermons we clearly see a God who understands our daily situations and acts on our behalf. Thomas L. Jolivette President, Waldorf College For those who have difficulty in hearing "gospel" in the Old Testament stories, Kris Wee's volume of sermons is a healthy corrective and a refreshing reminder. In her carefully constructed sermons containing a good mix of biblical exposition and stories, we have pictured for us God's great and gentle love in action. Her sermons are "full of God," who remains transcendant, yet warm and approachable. Durwood Buchheim Professor of Preaching (Emeritus) Wartburg Theological Seminary Kristin Borsgard Wee is the pastor of congregational life and education at St. Olaf Lutheran Church (ELCA) in Austin, Minnesota. She is an accomplished bassoonist with music degrees from St. Olaf College (B.A.) and the Manhattan School of Music (M.M.) as well as an M.Div. degree from Wartburg Theological Seminary. In addition to a pastorate in Waterloo, Iowa, Wee has been the Director of Mentor Development at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. She is a frequent guest speaker and Bible study leader at synod assemblies, conference meetings, and women's retreats.

In Emmaus Road: Stories, Scripture, Hymns, and Art for the Christian Journey, author and Reverend Gary M. Schimmer shares stories of humor, surprise, justice, sorrow, and hope from his congregational ministrystories that will stir your emotions and deepen your knowledge of the churchs faith and practice.

Book Synopsis Intercessory Worship by : Dick Eastman
Download or read book Intercessory Worship written by Dick Eastman and published by Gospel Light Publications. This book was released on 2012-04-16 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A glorious spiritual awakening is on the horizon, sparked by the combustible mix of worship and prayer. Dick Eastman calls this combination “intercessory worship,” and in this one-of-a-kind guidebook, he explains how worship-saturated prayer rises like a fragrance before God’s throne to declare His glory and reign over all circumstances, relationships and governments—and he shows readers how to engage in life-transforming intercessory worship. Eastman reveals why intercessory worship is the greatest last-days prayer movement in history and invites believers to join the worldwide Body of Christ in fanning the flames of revival through biblical worship and scriptural prayer. The world will be transformed as the presence and power of the Spirit pour forth from the heart of God.
Download or read book Unveiling Mercy written by Chad Bird and published by New Reformation Publications. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 747 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unveiling Mercy will do just that—unveil how the mercy of God in the Messiah is spoken of from the very opening Hebrew word of the Bible, all the way to the closing chapter of Malachi. By the end of the year, you will have entered the Old Testament through 365 new doorways, looked with fresh eyes at old verses, and traced a web of connections all over the Scriptures that you've never spotted before. You'll begin to see what one person meant when he described Hebrew words as "hyphens between heaven and earth." Reading the Bible in translation can be like "kissing the bride through the veil." Each of these 365 devotions is crafted so as to lift that veil ever so slightly, to touch skin to skin, as it were, with the original language. You do not need to know anything about Hebrew to profit from these meditations. They are not written to teach you the language of Abraham, Moses, and Isaiah, but to give you a taste of their insights, to expose you to their eloquence, to laugh with them at their winking wordplays, to un-English their idioms, and—most importantly—to trace their trajectories all the way into the preaching of the Messiah and the writings of his evangelists and apostles.
