Download or read book Radical written by David Platt and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.
Book Synopsis Power to Become Children of God by : Bryan Gesinger
Download or read book Power to Become Children of God written by Bryan Gesinger and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: APPROVED by the Diocese of Fresno, CA, and endorsed by Catholic apologist, author and radio host Gary Michuta (author of WHY CATHOLIC BIBLES ARE BIGGER and host of HANDS-ON APOLOGETICS), POWER TO BECOME CHILDREN OF GOD is the culmination of over 25 years' research and reflection on the Catholic Faith. Author Bryan Gesinger, whose work has appeared in the prestigious NEW OXFORD REVIEW (Berkeley, CA) and whom Gary Michuta interviewed twice on his show, HANDS-ON APOLOGETICS, conducted research for the present work over many years of discussions of Catholicism with individuals and groups of diverse ages, educational backgrounds, theological persuasions and personalities. Consequently, the book covers a wide range of topics of interest to Catholics and non-Catholics alike--such as the history and role of the Bible; the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist and the sacrificial character of the Holy Mass; the Communion of Saints, intercessory prayers, and the veneration of statues and icons of Our Lord and the saints; the doctrine of justification and the interrelation of faith and works versus Protestantism's tragic, novel error of "sola fide" (justification by faith alone); the primacy of St. Peter and the biblical and historical roots of the Papacy; and a sketch of the life and works of a great nineteenth-century convert from Anglicanism to the Catholic Church, John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890), from whose brilliant, profound legacy we, in the 21st century, can so richly benefit. You are invited to consider this labor of faith, hope and love--to share in its fruits of research and reflections upon the graces through which Christ bestows power to become children of God.

Book Synopsis Called to Be the Children of God by : David Vincent Meconi
Download or read book Called to Be the Children of God written by David Vincent Meconi and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2016-04-19 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gathers fourteen Catholic scholars to present, examine, and explain the often misunderstood process of ""deification"". The fifteen chapters show what becoming God meant for the early Church, for St. Thomas Aquinas and the greatest Dominicans, and for St. Francis and the early Franciscans. This book explains how this understanding of salvation played out during the Protestant Reformation and the Council of Trent. It explores the thought of the French School of Spirituality, various Thomists, John Henry Newman, John Paul II, and the Vatican Councils, and it shows where such thinking can be found today in the Catechism of the Catholic Church. No other book has gathered such an array of scholars or provided such a deep study into how humanity's divinized life in Christ has received many rich and various perspectives over the past two thousand years. This book seeks to bring readers into the central mystery of Christianity by allowing the Church's greatest thinkers and texts to speak for themselves, demonstrating how becoming Christ-like and the Body of Christ on earth, is the only ultimate purpose of the Christian faith.
Book Synopsis Children of God by : Lars Petter Sveen
Download or read book Children of God written by Lars Petter Sveen and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daring and original stories set in New Testament times, from a rising young Norwegian author Lars Petter Sveen’s Children of God recounts the lives of people on the margins of the New Testament; thieves, Roman soldiers, prostitutes, lepers, healers, and the occasional disciple all get a chance to speak. With language free of judgment or moralizing, Sveen covers familiar ground in unusual ways. In the opening story, a group of soldiers are tasked with carrying out King Herod’s edict to slaughter the young male children in Bethlehem but waver in their resolve. These interwoven stories harbor surprises at every turn, as the characters reappear. A group of thieves on the road to Jericho encounters no good Samaritan but themselves. A boy healed of his stutter will later regress. A woman searching for her lover from beyond the grave cannot find solace. At crucial moments an old blind man appears, urging the characters to give in to their darker impulses. Children of God was a bestseller in Norway, where it won the Per Olov Enquist Literary Prize and gathered ecstatic reviews. Sveen’s subtle elevation of the conflict between light and dark focuses on the varied struggles these often-ignored individuals face. Yet despite the dark tone, Sveen’s stories retain a buoyancy, thanks to Guy Puzey’s supple and fleet-footed translation. This deeply original and moving book, in Sveen’s restrained and gritty telling, brings to light stories that reflect our own time, from a setting everyone knows.

Book Synopsis Power to Become Sons of God by : Oluseye Oluwatayo
Download or read book Power to Become Sons of God written by Oluseye Oluwatayo and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2017-08-23 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power to Become Sons of God is a book that is written to help believers understand the essence of their salvation in Christ Jesus. It is an eye opener especially to young believers, to believe their faith in whom they have accepted as their Lord and Savior. In these days, the Word of God is being watered down by many who are expected to teach the undiluted Word of God. These are the days described in the Bible that there would be famine of bread, which is the Word of God. We need to go back to the basis of our salvation in order to be what God has called us to be, not what your parents, friends, or society want you to be. It is obvious you cannot do that if you do not know the purpose of your salvation. Many today want to be like their pastors, or so called mentors. Christ is our standard in all things, not men. This book would help you in setting your priorities.
Download or read book Sons of God written by Charles McPherson and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-07-23 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1980, the Lord, through His word, set before me a vision of what it means to be called "sons of God" and the authority He has given to His followers. Over the years, He has increased that vision, and while I am long way from walking in the fullness of it, I believe in these last days, many will walk in the fullness of God's new covenant in Jesus Christ. This book, Sons of God, began as an intended Facebook post. One morning, during my worship time, I sensed the Holy Spirit stirring in me that now was the time to start writing about the authority scripture declares belongs to the believer. However, as I began to write, I soon realized there was much more than a simple post coming forth. As a result of responding to the Holy Spirit that day, this book, Sons of God, was written. I believe it is the fruit of the Spirit of God in my life, but every word must be in submission to Holy scripture. If you find it not so, put it down. It is my desire to encourage and stretch the faith of those who desire a deeper walk with Jesus. If you have a longing in your relationship with the Lord that you have not been able to fill, this book may have some answers for you. A new journey is about to begin as there is so much more to the Christian life than most of us have experienced. I have attempted to create a vision of broader and deeper purposes of God. I pray this book will be an enlightenment and blessing to every reader.
Book Synopsis The Holy Spirit and the Children of God by : Gerson Mgaya
Download or read book The Holy Spirit and the Children of God written by Gerson Mgaya and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-13 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Scriptures declare that when one believes in Jesus Christ is given power to become a child of God (John 1:12). This same John in his first epistle writes that, even if we are now called God's children, it is not yet fully know what we will be when Jesus Christ will be revealed in His glory. But having hope of the future glory, children of God look forward to it and keep themselves pure while they live in this temporal abode (1 John 3:2).We know that it is an impossible mission for a believer to be pure in this world, because the world is fallen, and it is full of temptation. Even when one is alone in an inner room is prone to sinning against his God. Christian walk in this world is full of every kind of challenges. God knows the challenges that His children faces. He has made something so wonderful for them. He has come to live with and in them so that He can help them to do what is impossible for them to do by themselves. In this book you will have an opportunity to read what the Holy Spirit does to children of God from the very first stage of giving them power to become children of God, cleansing them, equipping them for mission and defending them and finally bringing them safely to the glory. If you are also aiming to be to be with the Lord in His glory, then this book will encourage you for that journey.
Book Synopsis Power of Grace by : Aloyce Nazael Mkude
Download or read book Power of Grace written by Aloyce Nazael Mkude and published by Grace Uprising. This book was released on 2020-01-12 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book verifies things that enable God to reside inside a person. Many Christian at a very first glance think God is in them, but in fact if you follow this Christians closely you may determine that God is not in them. In the book of James 4:6, it is written God rejects the pride and gives grace to the humble. One most objective of this book is to help Christian to understand the position they are towards their God, one should not assume rather to reset their mind to understand clearly whether God is in them or not in them. Jesus said in the book of Revelation chapter 3: 20 "behold I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door: I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me. if you look clearly about these words you may find that Jesus has no direct will to control your life but you are the owner of your soul in free will since Adam was created. Freedom is what distinguishes us from all creatures. Then by that freedom God does not force human being to act inside that man unwillingly. So God made plan and through that plan God ordained grace through his beloved son, that whoever wants to approach God through Jesus receives that grace. Therefore if someone wishes to receive God inside of them, the person has to consider some aspects I have mentioned through this book. First the person must be born again, secondly have to study the Bible always. Thirdly, believe in salvation. Fourth, Ability to speak in tongue, Fifth, Be baptized, Sixth, must have faith. Seventh, believe the cross of Christ. Eighth, Trust in person's time and wealth. Ninth, share the Lord's Supper always. These all are the qualities that enable God to take resident in someone's life. Be aware; don't take into granted with these series of topics because you are familiar with them. But take as challenge to go deep in them and see how the Holy Spirit reveal things you never imagined to find in life. "Christ is the image of the invisible god; he is the firstborn of all creation. For in him all things were created that are in heaven and that are in heaven, things visible and invisible: ruling, mighty and powerful. All things were created for him and for him. He was before all things; all continue to exist for him. He is the head of his body, the church; He is the source of the life of the body. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that he might have first place in all things. For God willed that all His fullness should dwell in Him. To him were all things reconciled by God: and by his blood he made peace on the cross" (Colossians 1: 15-20). God Knows the power of devil and limitations of man. With this regard God pleads to man always that should never intend to walk alone in this world, because it is very dangerous. So man must surrender his freedom to God and allow Him to take first place in man's life. One of the terrible things for mankind is the spirit of pride. Pride in first place the source of opponent between God and man. "Power of grace" is(1) Jesus' ability to influence or control the life of Christian (2 Corinthians 12: 9-10)(2) The righteousness or authority of God in one's life by Christ Jesus (Acts 17: 28-31)(4) The courage or power of God to force other authorities to obey His will. (Ephesians 6: 11-13)"We never learned this word of grace if we didn't fall. God has loved His perfect Angels who serve Him and obey His commandments, but they do not be given grace. These heavenly beings don't know the meaning of grace; they never need grace, because they have never sinned. Grace is God's help to unworthy people. We have not sought that grace, but sent it to search for us. God is pleased to give us this grace for everyone who is hungry of it, not because we deserve it, but because we do not really deserve it."But when the proper time was fulfilled, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, under the law, that we might become the children of God. Now that you are his children, God has sent..
Book Synopsis Becoming Children of God by : Wes Howard-Brook
Download or read book Becoming Children of God written by Wes Howard-Brook and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2003-10-21 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Becoming Children of God' offers a fresh and original commentary on the Gospel of John as a narrative inviting readers -- both in the evangelist's time and our own -- to a radical commitment to follow Jesus from within a spirit-filled community. This reading is grounded in a "poetics of biblical narrative" that balances attention to historical, ideological, and aesthetic aspects of John's Gospel while highlighting its relevance for today. By committing himself to a close analysis of the text as "symbolic action" Howard-Brook makes it clear how John's Gospel fairly bristles with references to societal conditions that demand a direct response. Throughout the commentary, his close attention to literary structure as well as social background yields new insights into the often-obscure message of the Fourth Gospel.

Book Synopsis The Wayfarer's End by : Shawn M. Colberg
Download or read book The Wayfarer's End written by Shawn M. Colberg and published by Catholic University of America Press. This book was released on 2020-05-08 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wayfarer’s End follows the human person’s journey to union with God in the theologies of Saint Bonaventure and Saint Thomas Aquinas. It argues that these seminal thinkers of the 13th Century emphasize scriptural notions of divine rewards as ordering principles for the graced movement of human viators to eternal life. Divine rewards emerge as a fundamental category through the study’s emphasis on Thomas and Bonaventure as scriptural commentators and preachers whose work in sacra pagina structures the content of their sacra doctrina. Shawn Colberg places Bonaventure’s and Aquinas’s scriptural, dogmatic, and polemical works into conversation and illumines their mutually edifying depictions of the way to eternal life. Looking to the journey itself, The Wayfarer’s End demonstrates a nuanced understanding of the roles played by God and human beings in the movement to full beatitude. To that end, it explores the relationships between grace and human nature, the effects of sin on the human person, the vital themes of predestination, conversion, perseverance, and the place of “reward-worthy” human action within the overall movement toward union with God. While St. Bonaventure and St. Thomas both stress the priority of grace and divine action for the journey, the study also illustrates their distinct frameworks for human action, unpacking Bonaventure’s preference for the language of acceptatio versus Thomas’s emphasis on ordinatio. This difference inflects their language of rewards, their exposition of scripture, and the scope of free human action in the movement to union with God. This study places the two most seminal theologians of the 13th Century into conversation on central and enduring topics of Christian life. Such a comparative study has been sorely lacking in the field of studies on Aquinas and Bonaventure. It offers insight to those interested in high scholastic thought, Franciscan and Dominican understandings of human salvation, and Thomist and Franciscan theology as it pertains to questions of the Reformation, including biblical exegesis on justification and sanctification. Above all, the study appreciates and foregrounds the richness of Bonaventure’s and Aquinas’s vocations: mendicant theologians concerned to share the fruits of contemplation with fellow friars and others seeking the goal of the wayfarer’s end.
