"We believe that interfaith dialogue holds the key to a healing that calls us back to purpose and to meaning. We have risked confronting aspects of our traditions usually hidden, and the consequences have been deeply life-affirming.

This book was released on 2013-03-07 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why have multiple mega-church leaders—Ted Haggard and Bishop Eddie Long, for example—committed acts of sexual misconduct? This book discusses the reasons in depth and examines how these acts are impacting the future of megachurches. Mega-churches—churches with congregations that number in the thousands of worshippers—are growing in popularity in America and around the world. Shockingly, a growing number of megachurch leaders have committed acts of sexual misconduct. While these scandalous crimes have received much attention through the media, literature that examines the topic in detail has been lacking. This book examines the various aspects of sexual misconduct by megachurch leaders, providing a comprehensive review of the topic that discusses the direct and indirect reasons for these crimes. The book provides unbiased, factual coverage of megachurch sexual abuse cases, covering issues surrounding the victims in specific cases, the role of the church, and notable ministers, such as Ted Haggard of New Life Church, Colorado Springs, CO; Bishop Eddie Long of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, Lithonia, GA; and Joe Barron of Prestonwood Baptist Church, Dallas, TX. The author also discusses how these incidences have impacted societal perceptions of religion, and large churches, and religious organizations, and provides recommendations to curb future cases of sexual abuse within megachurches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the bestselling novel The Shack and the New York Times bestsellers Cross Roads and Eve comes a compelling, conversational exploration of twenty-eight assumptions about God—assumptions that just might be keeping us from experiencing His unconditional, all-encompassing love. In his wildly popular novels, Wm. Paul Young portrayed the Triune God in ways that challenged our thinking—sometimes upending long-held beliefs, but always centered in the eternal, all-encompassing nature of God’s love. Now, in Wm. Paul Young’s first nonfiction book, he invites us to revisit our assumptions about God—this time using the Bible, theological discussion, and personal anecdotes. Paul encourages us to think through beliefs we’ve presumed to be true and consider whether some might actually be false. Expounding on the compassion fans felt from the “Papa” portrayed in The Shack—now a major film starring Sam Worthington and Octavia Spencer—Paul encourages you to think anew about important issues including sin, religion, hell, politics, identity, creation, human rights, and helping us discover God’s deep and abiding love.

Book excerpt: Beyond Man reimagines the meaning and potential of a philosophy of religion that better attends to the inextricable links among religion, racism, and colonialism. An Yountae, Eleanor Craig, and the contributors reckon with the colonial and racial implications of the field's history by staging a conversation with Black, Indigenous, and decolonial studies. In their introduction, An and Craig point out that European-descended Christianity has historically defined itself by its relation to the other while paradoxically claiming to represent and speak to humanity in its totality. The topics include secularism, the Eucharist's relation to Blackness, and sixteenth-century Brazilian cannibalism rituals as well as an analysis of how Mircea Eliade's conception of the sacred underwrites settler colonial projects and imaginaries. Throughout, the contributors also highlight the theorizing of Afro-Caribbean thinkers such as Sylvia Wynter, C. L. R. James, Frantz Fanon, and Aimé Césaire whose work disrupts the normative Western categories of religion and philosophy. Contributors. An Yountae, Ellen Armour, J.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jesus Cult is not a book for everyone. It is written for those both inside and outside the Christian camp who diligently seek the truth and liberation that comes from the True and Living God. This book takes the reader into the spiritual depths of the Holy Scriptures to expose the true spirit behind the deception propagated by religious leaders in the church throughout the ages. The reader of this book will get an understanding of the deception of the devil since before the time of Adam and Eve and how this spirit of deception has infiltrated the church. It is not a text for the weak or feeble; only the sharp and discerning will be able to 'hang on' as Pastor Gary C. Price unveils the internal make-up of Christendom around the globe. Sadly, it is glaringly apparent that multitudes of well-meaning Christians and spiritual zealots are bowing down to religious teaching and traditions that keep them soulish and bound to this present world. By exposing this deception, my prayer is that every reader will repent and turn away from this destructive system and onto a Spirit-led journey to establish a true and intimate relationship with Jesus Christ. Throughout the pages of this book you will see your life depicted in one way or another. The Jesus Cult not only reveals the spirit of deception, but also provides Biblical answers for the way of escape. The only way is through Jesus Christ. People, it's time to come out of every facet of the world. For too long, we have trusted in all of these worldly systems, from religion and government, to industry and commerce, to no avail. We must begin, today, to rid ourselves of the soulish anchors that bind us to the religious spirit of the Antichrist. Pastor Price's revelation of The Jesus Cult is bold, courageous and uncompromising. His labor 'in the Word and prayer' before the Throne of God has forged in him a prophetic voice to send a clarion call to God's remnant-wherever they reside throughout all the earth. Have no doubt about it; this book is inspired by the Holy Ghost! Through practical, real-life and everyday experiences the Spirit of God began to open the eyes of this shepherd. As Pastor Price met people on the streets of Atlanta, and dialogued with those who sit on church pews every Sunday, the devil's master scheme of deception was clearly exposed. Once he saw the true light, he has never wavered from preaching an end-time message of truth and power. As men and women have encountered the original Gospel of Jesus Christ, they have come out of these religious settings burdened down with demonic weights that plague their souls. They emerge still bound, hurt, and in need of intense deliverance. I have seen the effects of the Jesus Cult on too many of God's people to question its validity and reality in our culture. I am thankful for the impact that this book will have on your life as well. Jesus comes to set the captive free!

Drakeman examines church-state constitutional controversies from the Founding Era to the present, arguing that the Framers originally intended the establishment clause only as a prohibition against a single national church.

Book excerpt: If we want to heal our personal and planetary problems, we have to move beyond talking to spiritual practice. Pastor Don Mackenzie, Rabbi Ted Falcon and Imam Jamal Rahman, who have become known as the Interfaith Amigos, believe truly effective interfaith dialogue can inhibit the demonization of any religion. Their work together, which began with the horrors of 9/11, aims to help us see all authentic spiritual traditions as sacred avenues to a shared Universal Reality—when we achieve this, the healing of our shared personal and planetary problems begins. In this, their third book, the Interfaith Amigos look at the specific issues we face in a pluralistic society and the spiritual practices that can help us transcend those roadblocks to effective collaboration on the critical issues of our time. Focusing on the interconnection of spirituality and authentic interfaith dialogue, they examine: How Spiritual Awareness Can Heal Our Own Traditions Beyond Polarization: Confronting Our Most Personal Obstacle Spiritual Paths to Environmental Stewardship Spiritual Paths to Social Justice How to Make Spirituality a Way of Life This book helps awaken readers to the spiritual consciousness within each of us that provides the foundation for much-needed healing. Each chapter includes spiritual practices to aid us in reclaiming the deep spiritual truths of our own being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times Bestseller “A touching series of essays in which Evans, with Chu’s invisible pen, explores how one might find a path forward in Christianity beyond conservative evangelicalism” -Eliza Griswold, The New Yorker “Evans died at 37, but a beautiful new book captures her brave outlook. . . . I could not help but notice the poetry in Evans’s prose. . . . What readers will find in these pages was someone deeply human: funny, irreverent, curious, wise, forgiving, nonjudgmental.” -Maggie Smith, The Washington Post A collection of original writings by Rachel Held Evans, whose reflections on faith and life continue to encourage, challenge, and influence. Rachel Held Evans is widely recognized for her theologically astute, profoundly honest, and beautifully personal books, which have guided, instructed, edified, and shaped Christians as they seek to live out a just and loving faith. At the time of her tragic death in 2019, Rachel was working on a new book about wholeheartedness. With the help of her close friend and author Jeff Chu, that work-in-progress has been woven together with some of her other unpublished writings into a rich collection of essays that ask candid questions about the stories we’ve been told—and the stories we tell—about our faith, our selves, and our world. This book is for the doubter and the dreamer, the seeker and the sojourner, those who long for a sense of spiritual wholeness as well as those who have been hurt by the Church but can’t seem to let go of the story of Jesus. Through theological reflection and personal recollection, Rachel wrestles with God’s grace and love, looks unsparingly at what the Church is and does, and explores universal human questions about becoming and belonging. An unforgettable, moving, and intimate book.
