Download or read book Faith Roots written by Nicole Parker and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-16 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asher and his sister Zara are slaves in Egypt, along with their family and friends. The cruel taskmaster Nephi and his son Husani torment Asher and his friend Iru, as well as their fathers Joshua and Caleb, as they work all day in the brickyard. Even though Moses returns to Egypt and promises God is going to set them free, nothing good seems to result. Though they pray and obey God, they remain enslaved, and God seems silent. If God is so powerful, and He loves them so much, why doesn't He deliver them, as Moses keeps promising He will? Is He really more powerful than the Egyptian gods? As they seek to trust God, their suffering and their struggle with bitterness, anger and fear only seems to intensify.Why does God allow pain? Why does wrong seem to triumph over right so often, and bad people get away with sin unpunished? Will God ever make everything right, and if so, why doesn't He do it now?This story grapples with these and many other questions, in a tender, heart-wrenching story of injustice, heartache and hope. Inspiring gospel applications to life today are woven throughout this biblical tale.Written as a story so simple a young child can understand, but exploring the unfathomable depth of gospel themes of faith, humility, justice, mercy, forgiveness and love, the message of Faith Roots is for seekers of every age.
Download or read book Tales of Faith written by Holly Ordway and published by . This book was released on 2022-06-13 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we share the Gospel and make disciples in our modern culture? Many people, including young people from Christian homes, are walking away from the faith, or have never had it presented to them in a compelling manner. However, our polemical, distracted media environment makes it difficult to have thoughtful discussions about anything. In this context, literature and the arts have a powerful role to play by providing an engaging and inviting way to share the Christian faith. In Tales of Faith, Holly Ordway shows how literature--and especially old literature--can foster fruitful discussions that allow us to meet people where they are and help them move closer to knowing Christ, or to knowing and loving him more fully and deeply. Here, readers will find a practical, accessible guide to using literature to discuss topics such as the nature of God, virtues and vices, the Crucifixion, longing and sadness, and much more. For each literary text, Ordway provides an introductory essay, a selection from the text (or the whole poem for short pieces), questions for discussion or personal reflection, activities, and recommended resources. Drawing from ancient classics like the Odyssey and the Aeneid and medieval masterpieces like Beowulf and the Divine Comedy, and providing both practical advice and spiritual guidance for the reader, Tales of Faith offers teachers, parents, and all lovers of classic literature an invaluable resource for sharing the faith through story.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saints are ordinary men and women who touch the world in extraordinary and inspiring ways. Sometimes they prevail, sometimes they come to a tragic end—but always they change the world they live in for the better. In this freshly told and boldly illustrated book, children will find the stories of the best-known and best-loved saints, from Augustine to Mother Teresa (officially canonized as St. Teresa of Calcutta). Meet Joan of Arc, whose faith inspired her to lead an army when the king’s courage failed. Francis of Assisi, whose gentleness tamed a man-eating wolf. Christopher, whose medal is often worn by travelers. Valentine, a bishop in the time of ancient Rome who spoke so often of Christ’s love that his saint’s day, February 14, has been associated with courtly love since the Middle Ages. St. Thomas Aquinas, the great teacher. Peter Claver, who cared for hundreds of thousands of people on slave ships after their voyage as captives. Bernadette, whose vision of Mary instructed her to dig the spring that became the healing waters of Lourdes. Each tale is more vivid than the last; also included in each entry are the saint’s dates, location, emblems, and patronage. Taken together, they create a rich and entertaining history of faith and courage.

Book Synopsis Patterns of Religious Narrative in the Canterbury Tales by : Roger Ellis
Download or read book Patterns of Religious Narrative in the Canterbury Tales written by Roger Ellis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-23 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1986. This study asks ‘What problems confront the narrator of a religious story?’ and ‘What different solutions to those problems are offered by the religious narratives of The Canterbury Tales?’ The introduction explains the grounds for inclusion of the tales here studied then examined in three sections. The first includes the tales of the Clerk, Prioress and Second Nun, and Chaucer’s Melibee, and explores the parallels between the production of a religious narrative and that of a faithful translation. The second considers how the tales of the Man of Law, Monk and Physician, though formally similar to those in the first section, subvert the offered parallel by their creation of narrators who actively mediate them to their audience, and who seem as concerned with the projection of their own personalities as with the transmission of the given story. The final section shows how the tales of the Pardoner and Nun’s Priest highlight the dilemma and provide distinctive resolutions. The whole study aims to explore the dynamic relationships that exist between two contrasting positions: an artist’s commitment to the authority of a given story and his need to assert himself over it.
