Book Synopsis The Christ of the Indian Road by : E Stanley Jones Foundation
Download or read book The Christ of the Indian Road written by E Stanley Jones Foundation and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2010-08-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jones recounts his experiences in India, where he arrived as a young and presumptuous missionary who later matured into a veteran who attempted to contextualize Jesus Christ within the Indian culture. He names the mistake many Christians make in trying to impose their culture on the existing culture where they are bringing Christ. Instead he makes the case that Christians learn from other cultures, respect the truth that can be found there, and let Christ and the existing culture do the rest.
Download or read book The Divine Yes written by E Stanley Jones and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-12-13 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is organized around a number of questions which call for an affirmative answer. These are authentic queries. They emerge from real life and from the depths of the human search. These are not all of the problems which plague human existence and trouble the human spirit today, but they are among the important ones. As is often said, "Christ is the answer, but what is the question?" He is the affirmative to such inquiries as these arising from inner deeps. Jesus Christ is the Divine Yes! My feeling and hope is that this book will prove of particular help to many kinds of people. Among these are the seriously or chronically ill, the discouraged, those who feel themselves badly used of life, or those whose lives seem to have caved in on them. But others, too, should find divine aid and inspiration here. I refer to those earnest seekers after light and truth, old and young alike, who search for solutions to the profound, age-old questions which always address those who take the gift of life seriously and responsibly. They need not despair, for the Divine Yes has at long last been sounded. - Eunice Jones Mathews
Book Synopsis The Christ of the Mount by : E. Stanley Jones
Download or read book The Christ of the Mount written by E. Stanley Jones and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-13 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, which was first published in 1931, is for every person who suspects and hopes there is a better way to live responsibly and compassionately in the complex world we share. In this book, Jones challenges us to go deeper, question and ultimately discover the effect of Jesus’ principles on humanity, regardless one’s background or predisposed religious views. “I trust this book will be an unhesitating, but not a too-light, easy, ‘Yes’ to the question as to whether the Sermon on the Mount is practicable. If the reading of it brings to the reader what the writing of it has brought to the writer in these months of meditation, then we will both be repaid a hundredfold. A trusted friend said to the writer, ‘You are not a theologian; you are a divining rod. You tell us where there is water beneath—remember your function.’ In this book I have tried to remember my function. I have left to others the discussion of the critical questions involved in the accounts of the Sermon on the Mount as reported by Matthew and Luke. I have not been able to escape theological implications—who can escape them?—but I have tried to leave to the theologians the labeling of the wells and their more accurate description while I have endeavored to be true to my friend’s commission and have pointed to where in the Sermon on the Mount I think water may be found. There is water here—dig and drink!”—E. Stanley Jones, Introduction

Book Synopsis Victorious Living by : E Stanley Jones Foundation
Download or read book Victorious Living written by E Stanley Jones Foundation and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2014-10-21 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: E. Stanley Jones wrote Victorious Living in 1936 to respond to inquirers who had come to him morally and spiritually defeated. They were inwardly beaten, thus outwardly ineffective. The book responds with individual and social emphases, and goes step by step, as if on a ladder, to work through the pressing questions of the inner life and how it extends outward: How do we achieve a life evidencing the peace that passes understanding, even in ourselves, let alone passing it on? What makes the difference between ordinary living and extraordinary, victorious living? How can we build a new inner strength that shines through in our outward character and relationships? Our own efforts to rise above are ineffective but by applying the power of God’s Word we can close the gap between our reality and our beliefs. Each daily reading offers essential truths and eternal principles: keys to victorious living in the circumstances we encounter every day! Now this vibrant work is making a long deserved comeback, with a new foreword by Leonard Sweet.

Book Synopsis E. Stanley Jones and Sharing the Good News in a Pluralistic Society by : F. Douglas Powe
Download or read book E. Stanley Jones and Sharing the Good News in a Pluralistic Society written by F. Douglas Powe and published by Wesley's Foundery Books. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Produced in cooperation with The Foundation for Evangelism, this book offers a Wesleyan evangelism through the lens and in the spirit of E. Stanley Jones. Contributors include Thomas R. Albin, Jeffrey Conklin-Miller, Robert E. Haynes, Jack Jackson, Joon-Sik Park, F. Douglas Powe Jr., Mark R. Teasdale, Kimberly D. Reisman, and Brian Yeich. Eli Stanley Jones (1884-1973) was a Methodist missionary and theologian. He is remembered chiefly for his interreligious lectures in India, thousands of which were held across the Indian subcontinent during the first decades of the 20th century. According to his and other contemporary reports, his friendship for the cause of Indian self-determination allowed him to become a friend of leaders of the up-and-coming Indian National Congress party and spend much time with Mohandas K. Gandhi and the Nehru family. As Christians seek ways to authentically, faithfully, and genuinely share the gospel, they can find themselves pulled in two opposite directions. One forbids mentioning the name of Jesus and the other tries to forcefully lead people to confess Jesus as Savior without any regard for their social circumstances. Neither option works or is sustainable, but both do make the church irrelevant to the very people it seeks to reach. The life and thought of E. Stanley Jones offer a third way that is theologically grounded and socially attuned to the hardships many endure. This book explores why this third way must be reclaimed.

Book Synopsis The Unshakable Kingdom and the Unchanging Person by : E. Stanley Jones
Download or read book The Unshakable Kingdom and the Unchanging Person written by E. Stanley Jones and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-04 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus swept onto the scene declaring that the Kingdom of God had arrived! He proclaimed that we would experience life at its fullest only when we organize our lives around the Kingdom. E. Stanley Jones suggests that life in any other way is a muddled, maddening, and impossible way to live. Throughout the centuries we have lost the Kingdom as a clearly defined and workable system for order and influence in our daily lives. We have reduced the Kingdom by putting it into narrower molds, a refuge now, a present security, a future hope, anything but the Kingdom as Jesus preached it - God's total answer to man's total need now." Dr. Jones shows us how to claim our spiritual heritage and the abundant life promised us by embracing the Kingdom and Person of Jesus. He suggests how our experience with God and His Kingdom should be taught and shared in the life of the individual, in the life of the church and in the nations of the world.
Book Synopsis Gandhi: Portrait of a Friend by : E Stanley Jones Foundation
Download or read book Gandhi: Portrait of a Friend written by E Stanley Jones Foundation and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2019-01-15 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "On the day that Mahatma Gandhi was killed, I arrived in Delhi just an hour and a quarter before the tragedy ... the greatest tragedy since the Son of God died on the cross." So begins this compelling account of Gandhi by E. Stanley Jones, the world-renowned missionary evangelist to India during 40 seething years of struggle. Based on an intimate knowledge and understanding, Jones's revealing interpretation was written in gratitude to Gandhi, who, although they often disagreed, showed Jones "more of the spirit of Christ than perhaps any other . . . in East or West." "Martin Luther King, Jr., told me he owed a debt to my father for his book on Mahatma Gandhi. He had read many books on Gandhi, read his writings, but it was that particular book of my father's that had triggered his decision to use the method of ... nonviolence in his civil rights movement for his people." --Eunice Jones Mathews "Highly recommended."--Library Journal "To understand the meaning of this great leader ... read this book of interpretation."--Kirkus "Jones ... possesses a great gift of sympathetically interpreting the East to the West."--[London] Times Literary Supplement

Download or read book Growing Spiritually written by E. Jones and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-07 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book by E. Stanley Jones is designed to be read over an entire year. Each day there are scriptural verses, a meditation, a prayer and a thought for the day. Christians have used guides like this for their daily devotional life since the rise of Pietism in the 17th century. However, most of these devotional guides go quickly out of print because they are so bound to the particular issues and challenges of a single generation. However, this spiritual devotional guide is timeless and profitable for any Christian in any place or time. There are few that meet this criteria. Oswald Chamber's My Utmost for His Highest is one example. Another would be Table in the Wilderness by Watchman Nee. These classics have never been out of print because the church has found them both edifying and profitable. Growing Spiritually by E. Stanley Jones deserves to take its place among these timeless devotional guides. The reason is that Jones sets out not simply to inspire you, but to directly address the timeless issues which Christians face which hinders their growth in discipleship.May this new publication of E. Stanley Jones be read and appreciated by a whole new generation of Christians. For, as Jones states in the opening line of this devotional, "you are made to grow." May this volume help you to do just that.- Timothy C. Tennent, PhDPresident, Asbury Theological Seminary
