Book Synopsis The Case for a Creator by : Lee Strobel
Download or read book The Case for a Creator written by Lee Strobel and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2004 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'My road to atheism was paved by science . . . But, ironically, so was my later journey to God.' ---Lee Strobel During his academic years, Lee Strobel became convinced that God was outmoded, a belief that colored his ensuing career as an award-winning journalist at the Chicago Tribune. Science had made the idea of a Creator irrelevant---or so Strobel thought. But today science is pointing in a different direction. In recent years, a diverse and impressive body of research has increasingly supported the conclusion that the universe was intelligently designed. At the same time, Darwinism has faltered in the face of concrete facts and hard reason. Has science discovered God? At the very least, it's giving faith an immense boost as new findings emerge about the incredible complexity of our universe. Join Strobel as he reexamines the theories that once led him away from God. Through his compelling and highly readable account, you'll encounter the mind-stretching discoveries from cosmology, cellular biology, DNA research, astronomy, physics, and human consciousness that present astonishing evidence in The Case for a Creator. Also available in mass market and audio CD editions.
Book Synopsis A Strategy For Reaching Secular People by : Ernan A. Norman, D. Min.
Download or read book A Strategy For Reaching Secular People written by Ernan A. Norman, D. Min. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-05-11 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Ernan A. Norman, D.Min. has identified strategies to implement John 13:35 “All people will know that you are my followers if you love each other.” An excellent source for the essential principles of discipleship in a postmodern world. This book is written in nontechnical language based on the experiences as a student, pastor, and professor. I believe that the concepts presented are fundamental and are in harmony with the model demonstrated by Jesus during His ministry on earth. Meeting people at their level, putting their needs ahead of His own, treating people with respect, befriending the nonreligious and inviting them into a relationship with Himself are some of the concepts that are identified and supported as strategies for reaching secular people. This book is an outstanding and important piece of work, and easily readable. I would urge A Strategy for Reaching Secular People on members and leaders in every church – if they are willing to challenge basic assumptions and embrace change relative to reaching lost people. Strategies that remove the barriers that keep people from hearing about God’s love, and to create a warm, friendly, uncritical, and non-judgmental attitude of acceptance are clearly presented. Full of practical how-to’s and watch-out’s this book by Ernan Norman is for individuals serious about sharing the love of God. As we interact with and minister to secular people, matters such as marriage and family, academics, employment, addictions, and human rights must be addressed. Norman clearly gives strategies for intentional efforts to reach secular-postmodern men and women in our day. The central concept is the example of Jesus that we should follow. A must read! Weymouth Spence, Ed.D. President of Washington Adventist University

Book Synopsis Great Commission, Great Confusion, or Great Confession? by : Lucas V. Woodford
Download or read book Great Commission, Great Confusion, or Great Confession? written by Lucas V. Woodford and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a great debate going on in the church today. It centers on one question: "What is the mission of the church?" From culturally relevant, emerging congregations to strategic methods of organization and outreach, many claim they have the answer. They say the mission must become "missional." Yet the churches of North America continue to struggle. Uncertainty is growing. "What does it really mean to be 'missional'"? Competing claims abound. "Get the message out!" "Get the message right!" Great confusion has set in, particularly in the postmodern North American church. The Gospel is getting lost. Yet, throughout the ages, the creedal confession of the Holy Christian Church has carried her through uncertainty and struggle. The Apostles' Creed has steadied and stayed the mission of the church for centuries. It centers on the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit--the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. This book celebrates the historic mission of the Holy Christian Church, and it invites the North American church to do the same.
Download or read book The Sacred Art written by Johnny Turner and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2007-06 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Johnny Turner's "The Sacred Art: Growing Faithful Disciples in the 21st Century" is a fresh approach for guiding Christians to reclaim the sacred art of discipleship. Turner combines scholarly research and practical insights and stresses the need for discipleship training. It is critical because discipleship is a sacred art. It is sacred because discipleship is part of the Great Commission. Dr. Turner describes how growing faithful disciples can be accomplished in the church, and he invites the church to become totally involved in the process of growing disciples. After reading, you will discover too that discipleship is truly "The Sacred Art." 'Pastor Johnny Turner has given us a practical, 'first things first' approach to deeply important spiritual matters. It is both thought provoking and inspirational.' Jim Cymbala Senior Pastor, The Brooklyn Tabernacle
Book Synopsis What If the Bible Had Never Been Written? by : D. James Kennedy
Download or read book What If the Bible Had Never Been Written? written by D. James Kennedy and published by HarperChristian + ORM. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: But the Bible, more than any other book, is also the most maligned on the market. Many of the cities of our culture dismiss the Word of God. In What If the Bible Had Never Been Written?, D. James Kennedy and Jerry Newcombe show that this collection of books was indeed the inspiration for almost all of the great explorers, scientists, writers, artists, politicians, and educators the world has ever known. That such a book, which has influenced so many and stood the test of time for so long, is dismissed as folklore or myth, just goes to show what extremes nonbelievers will go to rationalize their behavior. From the Ten Commandments, which many of our laws and government are based upon, to the Golden Rule, a verse taken straight out of the New Testament, to many of today's most common phrases and expressions...there is no doubt as to the influence the Bible has on everyone, in some degree, every day. What If the Bible Had Never Been Written? provides a well-documented and in-depth look at the impact the Book of Books has had on humanity, pointing to specific areas in today's society that would not be as they are now, if it were not for the Bible.

Book Synopsis The Divine Commodity by : Skye Jethani
Download or read book The Divine Commodity written by Skye Jethani and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenge facing Christianity today is not a lack of motivation or resources, but a failure of imagination.A growing number of people are disturbed by the values exhibited by the contemporary church. Worship has become entertainment, the church has become a shopping mall, and God has become a consumable product. Many sense that something is wrong, but they cannot imagine an alternative way. The Divine Commodity finally articulates what so many have been feeling and offers hope for the future of a post-consumer Christianity.Through Scripture, history, engaging narrative, and the inspiring art of Vincent van Gogh, The Divine Commodity explores spiritual practices that liberate our imaginations to live as Christ's people in a consumer culture opposed to the values of his kingdom. Each chapter shows how our formation as consumers has distorted an element of our faith. For example, the way churches have become corporations and how branding makes us more focused on image than reality. It then energizes an alternative vision for those seeking a more meaningful faith. Before we can hope to live differently, we must have our minds released from consumerism's grip and captivated once again by Christ.
