Book excerpt: Just after 5000 people crowded into Anaheim Convention for the Easter Services, God asked Dave two questions that wrecked him and took him to places around the world to search answers to these questions: "Is this it?" (IT=SUCCESS) "What would the church look like if wasn't contained on a piece of land?" In the wake of these two questions, Newsong strategically went from a church focused on growing bigger to a church focused on growing deeper, which has led to its thriving global ministry today. In Small Cloud Rising, Gibbons takes us on his 10-year journey of a reimagined church. Shedding much contemporary church-growth strategy, Gibbons learned to measure success through paradoxical metrics: Small is big. One is the greatest number. Reach the fringes for maximum impact. Neighbor means someone who's not just like you. Misfits belong together. Pain can be power. Gibbons watched Newsong transform and rise as the ancient future church. Looking at how God designed us as a community (ancient/past) and what He desired us to become (future). Along this path of change, he learned to see like Elijah, scanning the horizon after years of drought. The prophet saw a small cloud rising, no bigger than a fist, a nearly invisible phenomenon that would soon change everything. It would be small in size but bring a storm that would end the drought.
Book Synopsis Black Cloud Rising by : David Wright Falade
Download or read book Black Cloud Rising written by David Wright Falade and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Already excerpted in the New Yorker, Black Cloud Rising is a compelling and important historical novel that takes us back to an extraordinary moment when enslaved men and women were shedding their bonds and embracing freedom By fall of 1863, Union forces had taken control of Tidewater Virginia, and established a toehold in eastern North Carolina, including along the Outer Banks. Thousands of freed slaves and runaways flooded the Union lines, but Confederate irregulars still roamed the region. In December, the newly formed African Brigade, a unit of these former slaves led by General Edward Augustus Wild—a one-armed, impassioned Abolitionist—set out from Portsmouth to hunt down the rebel guerillas and extinguish the threat. From this little-known historical episode comes Black Cloud Rising, a dramatic, moving account of these soldiers—men who only weeks earlier had been enslaved, but were now Union infantrymen setting out to fight their former owners. At the heart of the narrative is Sergeant Richard Etheridge, the son of a slave and her master, raised with some privileges but constantly reminded of his place. Deeply conflicted about his past, Richard is eager to show himself to be a credit to his race. As the African Brigade conducts raids through the areas occupied by the Confederate Partisan Rangers, he and his comrades recognize that they are fighting for more than territory. Wild’s mission is to prove that his troops can be trusted as soldiers in combat. And because many of the men have fled from the very plantations in their path, each raid is also an opportunity to free loved ones left behind. For Richard, this means the possibility of reuniting with Fanny, the woman he hopes to marry one day. With powerful depictions of the bonds formed between fighting men and heartrending scenes of sacrifice and courage, Black Cloud Rising offers a compelling and nuanced portrait of enslaved men and women crossing the threshold to freedom.
Download or read book Xealots written by Dave Gibbons and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2011-10-25 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We thirst for purpose, clarity, fulfillment and direction in our lives. How do we go about sorting through all the self-help books, talks and seminars? The common, normal solutions to navigating life are focused on strengths, gifts, and passion. The reality is quite contrarian to what seems to make sense. The revelations is found in the divine fingerprints of all that we are: our life story, what energized and de-energizes us, our rhythms, and even our pain and weaknesses. It’s a different way of approaching clarity of life.At the heart of this book is the understanding that a life filled with passion is radically different than what many of us have been taught. Often it’s not in the how do we find life but a commitment to a passionate pursuit. Neurologically, if we ask the question how our brains can’t tap the new domains, our brains resorts to typical default solutions that are often inadequate. The way to live life to its fullest is found in abnormal rhythms and principles, that have the tension of questions more than answers. It’s a place where strategy is important but an ethos where relationships trump vision. The way we are invited to live life to its fullest is found with a contrarian set of beliefs, values and questions. It’s not about quick fixes and simplistic “solutions.”. God works through our weaknesses and our failures. Real vision is found through relationships with God and with other people. Obedience is better than passion. These contrarian concepts have been presented and tested in many business and non-profit settings, including Willow Creek’s Leadership Summit where Dave gave a keynote address. The tone of this book was established as Dave thought about what he would want to share with his four third culture children and future leaders. It was Dave’s heart that they would walk a life where they experienced life to it’s fullest, exploring the new and old domains of world that is constantly changing.

Download or read book Relentless written by John Bevere and published by WaterBrook. This book was released on 2011-12-13 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Re•lent•less (ri lent/lis): an attitude or posture that is resolute, uncompromising, persistent, unyielding, constant, unstoppable, ruthless. The opposite of slacken, waver, or concede. If ever there was a need for followers of Jesus to be resolute in purpose, uncompromising for truth, persistent in faith, unyielding in hope, constant in love, and unstoppable in advancing the kingdom…it’s now! God is ruthless in His love and pursuit of us; it’s time for His Bride to reflect the same passion. John Bevere explores how people of Bible times and today became relentless: John the Baptist spent years living in a barren desert. Jesus endured hardship in a desolate wilderness of temptation. Both men emerged strong in the “power of the Spirit,” relentless in not just getting through challenges but in ruling over their circumstances. Ultimately, they succeeded in their God-given life mission. In Relentless, you’ll learn how even seemingly impossible situations were never meant to stop you but to propel you forward in your journey. Discover in these biblically grounded truths how you can thrive no matter what your season of life. How you begin is not nearly as important as how you finish. Embrace your trials and become relentless! Questions for reflection and discussion included!

Book Synopsis Rise of Volcanic Eruption Clouds by : Mark Settle
Download or read book Rise of Volcanic Eruption Clouds written by Mark Settle and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rise of eruption clouds is produced by the upward momentum and thermal buoyancy of volcanic dust and gas, processes which play important roles in other phenomena. The expansion of a turbulent jet in free flow is controlled by the rate at which the forward momentum of the jet is dissipated. Thermal buoyancy of industrial waste gases provides a mechanism for moving such wastes upward through the atmosphere and ensuring their dispersal over a wide area. The rise of volcanic eruption clouds can be modelled after these 2 analogous phenomena. In this report average ejection velocities at a volcanic vent ranging from 20 m/sec to 200 m/sec are assumed to represent a wide range of eruption intensity, from Strombolian to Vulcanian types. For eruption velocities varying from 20 m/sec to 200 m/sec, cloud heights estimated by the turbulent jet model range from 1500 m to 6500 m (mid-latitude eruption) while cloud heights estimated by the industrial plume models range from 900 m to 10,000 m. These estimates are considered to be roughly comparable in view of the assumptions and extrapolations involved in applying these models to explosive eruption conditions and agree quite well with reported heights of eruption clouds. The fact that comparable estimates of cloud height are produced by 2 very different models suggests that both momentum and thermal buoyancy play an important role throughout the main portion of an eruption cloud's trajectory.

Book Synopsis From Contemplation to Action by : Mark G. Boyer
Download or read book From Contemplation to Action written by Mark G. Boyer and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-09-10 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemplation is a spiritual process involving long, thoughtful, steady, serious, and attentive consideration or observation in order to achieve closer unity with God and to discover and understand God’s will for the contemplative. Contemplation gives rise to activity, and activity, in turn, gives rise to more contemplation. The result of contemplation is often called discernment, seeing clearly what is at first not very clear or obvious, understanding what is not immediately obvious, resulting in accuracy of spiritual perception. Divine discernment is contemplation in action; it results in insight, inspiration, and an awareness of inner truth upon which one must act. While there are countless models of contemplation leading to action, the ninth-century BCE prophets Elijah and Elisha are the examples used in this book. Both are seers, messengers, and heralds of the LORD. They appear in activity when they are needed, and they disappear into solitude and silence when they are not.
