Book Synopsis Junk Drawer Jesus by : Matt Popovits
Download or read book Junk Drawer Jesus written by Matt Popovits and published by New Reformation Publications. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of us is the owner of a seemingly random collection of theologies, doctrines, and superstitions. It' s a junk drawer of religious ideas and influences. It' s the witticisms your grandmother tossed around with ease that sounded like they came from a religious text. It' s an insight gleaned about God from a half-heard sermon at a friend' s church. It' s the mental screenshot of a meme shared on social media. It' s the empowering idea you underlined in a book and wrote on a Post-it Note now forever affixed to your laptop.These are the things stuffed in our spiritual junk drawers. And as with that stash of old clothes in the closet or that stew of phone chargers, pens, and half-used batteries sitting in your kitchen drawer, something in us says, “ This might be useful.” And so we hold on. But should we?For many this junk drawer spirituality has become burdensome. We are worn down by the religious experience it creates and frustrated by a collection of traditions, “ truths,” and unfulfilled promises that continue to grow.In “ Junk Drawer Jesus” the spiritually exhausted are invited to examine our religious clutter and compare it to the person and the promises of Jesus Christ. We' ll discover what— if anything— of our spiritual collection should be kept. And in the process we rediscover the soul-satisfying simplicity of a God who refuses to fill our lives with junk, but instead offers grace upon grace.

Book Synopsis The Desirable Sister by : Taslim Burkowicz
Download or read book The Desirable Sister written by Taslim Burkowicz and published by Fernwood Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-13T00:00:00Z with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gia and Serena Pirji are sisters, but as the first-generation born in Canada to immigrant parents, their lives play out in different ways because of their skin tone. Gia’s fair skin grants her membership to cliques of white kids as a teen, while Serena’s dark skin means she is labelled as Indian and treated as inferior. This superficial difference, imposed by a society obsessed with skin colour and hierarchy, sets the sisters into a dynamic that plays out throughout their lives. In a world where white skin is preferable, the sisters are pitted against each other through acts of revenge and competition as they experience adultery, ruined friendships, domestic abuse, infertility and motherhood. Taslim Burkowicz’s vivid, sensory-rich writing style brings readers to the party scene in Goa, suburban supermarkets in Vancouver and a safari in Africa, where Gia and Serena navigate through the highs and lows of a tumultuous, loving relationship. The Desirable Sister reveals the bitter games of treachery women are forced to play to achieve the ranks of beauty and success, and ultimately shows the strength of love between sisters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the beginning, God created Adam. Then he made Eve. And ever since we’ve been picking up the pieces. Loveology is a theology of love from God’s point of view. The five sessions start with God’s design for marriage and works backward, dealing with sexuality, romance, singleness, and what it means to be male and female. Pastor and writer John Mark Comer shares about what is right in male/female relationships—what God intended in the Garden. And about what is wrong—the fallout in a post-Eden world. The Loveology video-based Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately) is for anyone who wants to learn what the Scriptures have to say about sexuality and relationships and for people who want to ask the why questions and get intelligent, grace-and-truth answers. As you walk through this five-week study, you will come to better understand what God fully intended back in the garden. By comprehending the brilliance behind God’s original plan for love and marriage and sex and romance—if we can redefine that fuzzy, amorphous, confusing word “love” and look at it through the lens of Jesus—your marriages and relationships will be radically altered as a result. This study guide contains video notes, individual or group reflection questions, and between session personal applications to enhance your journey through the video study. Sessions include: Love Marriage Sex Romance Singleness Designed for use with Loveology Video Study 9780310688389 (sold separately).

Book Synopsis The Art of Transformation by : Paul Fromberg
Download or read book The Art of Transformation written by Paul Fromberg and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-05 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyday actions work to transform life personally and in community It's all too common for Christians to wonder, if Jesus came to bring transformation and wholeness, why do I still feel like the same old me and struggle with the same issues as always? Paul Fromberg, rector of St. Gregory of Nyssa Episcopal Church in San Francisco, offers a practical approach to life transformation that proves that church, if done right, can be the catalyst for bringing about real change in people's lives. For those frustrated that they haven't had real experiences of transformation in their churches and for church leaders who are frustrated that members aren't being transformed by their experiences in church. Fromberg presents a way to move beyond cynicism, sadness, and alienation and reconnect with the deep, passionate, beautiful life that God has in mind for us. The first step is to question assumptions, but it takes relationships to make this change and courage to risk what you know for the sake of being made new. The intersection between beauty, justice, and friendship is the place where people can dare to be transformed. The best gift the church can give is to make transformation a real part of people's lives.

Book Synopsis What Do You Really Want? St. Ignatius Loyola and the Art of Discernment by : Jim Manney
Download or read book What Do You Really Want? St. Ignatius Loyola and the Art of Discernment written by Jim Manney and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What should I do? We ask the question when we pray. We ask it when we run out of answers to our problems. We ask it when we face big decisions. We ask it when we get out of bed in the morning: How should I live this day as well as I can? We can find answers through learning the art of discernment-the wisdom that enables us to see and interpret the leading of the Holy Spirit as it is manifested in the inner lives of our hearts. The great master of this art was St. Ignatius Loyola, author of The Spiritual Exercises, who believed that the ability to discern the spirits is one of the most important skills a Christian could have. Ignatius believed that the answer to the question "What Should I Do?" is found in the shifting sea of feelings, insights, leadings, and intuitions of our affective lives. What Do You Really Want? shows us how to understand these emotions and use what we learn to make the choices that best serve God and bring his love to the people in our lives. It shows the truth of one of Ignatius's greatest insights-that when we find what we really want, we find what God wants too, because the deepest desires of our hearts were placed there by God.
Book Synopsis The New Believer's Guide to the Christian Life by : Alex Early
Download or read book The New Believer's Guide to the Christian Life written by Alex Early and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2016-10-18 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Life as a Christian Really Looks Like New believers need to know what to expect. While many books cover the nuts and bolts of new faith--how to read the Bible, how to pray, how to find a church--in this book, Alex Early focuses on issues of the heart. What are Christians supposed to feel? What happens when they sin? What does God want from them? Designed to challenge and reassure, this book gives a realistic depiction of the Christian life, and includes such topics as how to rest in God's love, what forgiveness looks like when you blow it, what it means to find your identity in Christ, and how to pray with honesty and transparency. God isn't surprised when we struggle, and although being in a relationship with God is amazing, he never promised that this life would be easy. He can handle "real" people, and he pours out his reckless love regardless of what we do or think on any given day. We all need to be reminded of this, but especially those new to the faith. This book is ideal for new believers, but seasoned Christians should also have copies on hand to give away. Includes end-of-chapter questions and a "Christianese to English" glossary.
