Book excerpt: Rebekah, book two in New York Times bestselling author Orson Scott Card's Women of Genesis series—a unique re-imagining of the biblical tale. Born into a time and place where a woman speaks her mind at her peril, and reared as a motherless child by a doting father, Rebekah grew up to be a stunning, headstrong beauty. She was chosen by God for a special destiny. Rebekah leaves her father's house to marry Isaac, the studious young son of the Patriarch Abraham, only to find herself caught up in a series of painful rivalries, first between her husband and his brother Ishmael, and later between her sons Jacob and Esau. Her struggles to find her place in the family of Abraham are a true test of her faith, but through it all she finds her own relationship with God and does her best to serve His cause in the lives of those she loves.

Book Synopsis I, Isaac, Take Thee, Rebekah by : Ravi Zacharias
Download or read book I, Isaac, Take Thee, Rebekah written by Ravi Zacharias and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2005-04-03 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twenty-fourth chapter of Genesis a beautiful young woman offers assistance to a weary traveler and his camels, and out of that simple action, a marriage results-a marriage that offers profound lessons to couples today. Bible scholar and renowned speaker Ravi Zacharias draws five points critical to the long-lasting success of every marriage from the biblical story of the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah. "Real love folds together both the emotions and the will," writes Zacharias. "Without the emotions, marriage is a drudgery; without the will, it is a mockery." Building upon that foundational truth, Zacharias goes on to explain the principles of seeking the counsel of others when finding a mate, cherishing your partner, remaining pure, becoming a man or woman of prayer, and, finally, risking everything in a relationship in order to experience God's ideal for love. Couples everywhere, from those about to be married, to those who have been married for decades, will draw strength and wisdom for the journey of marriage as they learn from Ravi what it means to move from romance to lasting love.

Book Synopsis Isaac and Rebekah by : Dr. Jana Jones McDowell
Download or read book Isaac and Rebekah written by Dr. Jana Jones McDowell and published by Ancestry.Jesus. This book was released on 2020-07-17 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In keeping with the underlying theme of the books delving into the mindset and culture surrounding the ancient ancestors of Jesus Christ, we will once again go behind the scenes and uncover deep meanings behind the origins of our faith. As discovered through the eyes of the ancient Jewish patriarchs and matriarchs, in this book “Cultivating Israel” we will journey back into time and relive the experiences of Isaac and Rebekah as well as their sons, Jacob and Esau. Navigating the twists and turns of what often seems to be a typical dysfunctional family, not unlike what we may experience in today’s culture, we will step into the mindsets of those who formed the very foundations of Jewish culture. As we look at the total picture of antiquity, once again we will come to understand how viewing the lives of Jesus’ ancestors in the context of the day are of utmost importance. “Cultivating Israel” starts with the story of Isaac, the son of Abraham and Sarah. Isaac is painted to be somewhat of a passive individual in Scripture, with his main mention in the Hebrew Bible having to do with complying with his father’s (Abraham) wishes to offer him to sacrifice to the LORD. After his father’s servant finds him a wife, being Rebekah, we will then explore the lives of their children, Jacob and Esau. Jacob and Esau, even though twins, turn out to be very different individuals. As similar as night and day, we will discover hidden secrets about these two brothers through looking into the ancient Hebrew language, culture and commentaries by ancient Rabbis. Of interest is how in His Divine Masterplan, God will prune the family ancestral tree of Jesus, the Messiah, to continue to cultivate His people on the road to the formation of the makings of Israel. Even though Jacob starts out as a deceiver and a manipulator, and as one who relies on himself rather than God, we will see how the LORD works in his life shaping him into the man who will come to be known as “Israel”, signifying the very beginning of the culture that envelops Jesus’ ancestors in the future. Prepare to journey back to antiquity, gaining new knowledge, and background to appreciate God’s Word with deeper perspective. Remember, context is not just important, it’s everything! Through understanding our Jewish heritage, we as Christians can better understand our Jewish Savior, Jesus Christ.
Download or read book This is Why I Came written by Mary Rakow and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2015-12-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A woman sits in prayerful meditation, waiting to offer her first confession in more than thirty years. She holds a small book on her lap, one that she's made, and tells herself again the Bible stories it contains, the ones she has written anew, for herself, each story told aslant, from Jonah to Jesus, Moses to Mary Magdalen. Woven together and stitched by hand, they provide a new version, virtually a new translation, of the heart of this ancient and sacred text. Rakow's Bernadette traces, through each brief and familiar story, a line where belief and disbelief touch, the line that has been her home, ragged and neglected, that hidden seam. The result is an amazing book of extraordinary beauty, so human and humorous, and yet so holy it becomes a work of poetry, a canticle, a song of lament and praise. In the private terrain of silence and devotion, shared with us by a writer of power and grace, Rakow offers, through Bernadette, her own lectio divina for the modern world. No reader will forget this book or be able to read the Bible itself without a new perspective on this text that remains, arguably, Western civilization's greatest literary achievement.
Book Synopsis The Future of Christian Marriage by : Mark Regnerus
Download or read book The Future of Christian Marriage written by Mark Regnerus and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marriage has come a long way since biblical times. Women are no longer property, and practices like polygamy have long been rejected. The world is wealthier, healthier, and more able to find and form relationships than ever. So why are Christian congregations doing more burying than marrying today? Explanations for the recession in marriage range from the mathematical--more women in church than men--to the economic, and from the availability of sex to progressive politics. But perhaps marriage hasn't really changed at all. Instead, there is simply less interest in marriage in an era marked by technology, gender equality, and secularization. Mark Regnerus explores how today's Christians find a mate within a faith that esteems marriage but in a world that increasingly yawns at it. This book draws on in-depth interviews with nearly two hundred young-adult Christians from the United States, Mexico, Spain, Poland, Russia, Lebanon, and Nigeria, in order to understand the state of matrimony in global Christian circles today. Regnerus finds that marriage has become less of a foundation for a couple to build upon and more of a capstone. Meeting increasingly high expectations of marriage is difficult, though, in a free market whose logic reaches deep into the home today. The result is endemic uncertainty, slowing relationship maturation, and stalling marriage. But plenty of Christians innovate, resist, and wed, and this book argues that the future of marriage will be a religious one.
Book Synopsis Bible and Midrash by : Lieve M. Teugels
Download or read book Bible and Midrash written by Lieve M. Teugels and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2004 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-part book traces the literary and historic study of the story of the 'Wooing of Rebekah' in the Hebrew Bible and its creative interpretations in Rabbinic Midrash. Part 1 treats such issues as the characterization of the narrative agents in the biblical story, the use of repetition as a narrative structuring device, and the question as to the roles of Rebekah and Isaac in this story as well as in the broader Isaac-Rebekah narratives. Part 2 follows several rabbinic interpretations of this story, dealing with, among other topics, the development of the motif of Rebekah's virginity in rabbinic aggadah and halakha as well as the reception of this theme in modern feminist studies of midrash. While treating these topics, this is at the same time a methodological inquiry into the dynamics of midrashic interpretation, treating rabbinic techniques such as 'gap-filling' and 'linkage', and its differences from modern biblical exegesis.

The Sons of Isaac is the capstone work of a master of biblical fiction, Roberta Kells Dorr.

But even that promise came with a prophecy that put Rebekah at odds with her husband... but never at odds with Deborah. For all their lives, Isaac, Rebekah, and Deborah were companions and faithful servants to the Lord. They tried to live as God called them to and their story is a testament to the call to love our neighbor.

Book Synopsis Gospel-Centered Kids Ministry by : Brian Dembowczyk
Download or read book Gospel-Centered Kids Ministry written by Brian Dembowczyk and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2018-10-15 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Jesus interacting with the Emmaus disciples after his resurrection provides an outline for what a gospel-centered kids ministry looks like: gospel-centered teaching that points to Jesus in every session, gospel-centered transformation that positions the gospel to change a child's heart and then his or her behavior, and gospel-centered mission where kids join in on the big story of Jesus that continues to unfold. Seven out of ten kids will walk away from church after they turn eighteen. About five will return when they have families of their own. But two will never return. Clearly, something isn’t connecting with our kids. As kids ministry leaders, we need to take a hard look at what we are missing in our kids ministries and provide kids the one thing that will satisfy them and keep them connected to the church—the gospel. Gospel-Centered Kids Ministry also addresses how to communicate with and encourage gospel-centered leaders and parents as part of your ministry.
