Book Synopsis The Accidental Preacher by : Guerric Debona Osb
Download or read book The Accidental Preacher written by Guerric Debona Osb and published by . This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Accidental Preacher was written to honor the work of esteemed homiletics professor Dr. Rick Stern. The idea for this book demonstrates a mix of intention and chance. In the spring of 2017, Rick informed the dean of Saint Meinrad Seminary and School of Theology in Indiana, Dr. Robert Alvis, of his intention to retire at the end of the next school year, after nearly 30 years of teaching students how to preach. When several of us heard this, we set out to think of a way to honor him and his numerous contributions to the seminary and to his field. A chance conversation led to this suggestion: "Why don't you have people contribute homilies and gather them into a book?" Some of those whose homilies are included in this book were previous students of Rick, while others are colleagues who have worked with him for years. All responded with an enthusiastic "yes," which is no accident, given their respect for him. Indeed, this book is a liber amicorum-a book of friends who wish to honor Rick and his work.
Book Synopsis The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee by : Talya Tate Boerner
Download or read book The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee written by Talya Tate Boerner and published by One Mississippi Press LLC. This book was released on 2020-03 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this award-winning, coming-of-age novel, ten-year-old Gracie Lee struggles to make sense out of her life as an Arkansas farm girl in the early 1970s. Wise beyond her age yet imbued with child-like innocence, Gracie focuses on the three things that keep her awake at night: Solving the mystery of the man in the gray house; Surviving another school year at Savage Crossing Elementary; and, Saving her alcoholic Daddy from himself (and thereby saving the whole family and wider world). Gracie feels certain there is more to life beyond school and dull church sermons. She worries about the soldiers in Vietnam and wonders what it must be like to have been born Lisa Marie Presley from Tennessee instead of Gracie Lee Abbott from Arkansas. Mostly, she wishes her Daddy wasn't so mean. Gracie's unchecked imagination leads to Nancy Drew-type adventure. Adventure leads to trouble. She confides in unexpected characters and seeks solace in a mysterious gray house beyond the cotton field. When Gracie faces a difficult family situation, she must make a life-altering decision, one that will test the very essence of her character. "At best, most first novels indicate potential. It would be wrong to say that, when reading Talya Tate Boerner's The Accidental Salvation of Gracie Lee, I was pleasantly surprised. Actually, I was amazed. There's magic here, in a wonderfully-told story that will find a special place in any reader's heart." Jeff Guinn, New York Times bestselling author. "Boerner's prose is a wonderful medium for unspooling Gracie's story, imbued with all the snark, wonder, and colorful details that characterize childhood... The author addresses real, high-stakes issues without slathering them in melodrama or saccharine sentimentality, and her book hearkens back to an older YA tradition of stories of plucky preteen girls, spooky houses, and inevitable tragedies that help mark the turning point from childhood to adolescence. A stirring novel with a distinctive young narrator." Kirkus Reviews

Book Synopsis Accidental Pharisees by : Larry Osborne
Download or read book Accidental Pharisees written by Larry Osborne and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zealous faith can have a dangerous, dark side. While recent calls for radical Christians have challenged many to be more passionate about their faith, the down side can be a budding arrogance and self-righteousness that “accidentally” sneaks into our outlook. In Accidental Pharisees, bestselling author Larry Osborne diagnoses nine of the most common traps that can ensnare Christians on the road to a deeper life of faith. Rejecting attempts to turn the call to follow Christ into a new form of legalism, he shows readers how to avoid the temptations of pride, exclusivity, legalism, and hypocrisy, Larry reminds us that attempts to fan the flames of full-on discipleship and call people to Christlikeness should be rooted in love and humility. Christians stirred by calls to radical discipleship, but unsure how to respond, will be challenged and encouraged to develop a truly Christlike zeal for God.

Book Synopsis The Essential Forde by : Gerhard O. Forde
Download or read book The Essential Forde written by Gerhard O. Forde and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No twentieth-century American understood Luther's law-gospel distinction better than Gerhard O. Forde, who was professor of theology at Luther Theological Seminary in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Because Forde kept this Lutheran distinction razor sharp, his theological writings are an essential inheritance for us today. This volume, The Essential Forde, aims to provide the essence of Forde's writing centered upon LutherÂs and Scripture's essential distinction, that is, the distinction between law and gospel. The editors of this volume have chosen some of the most definitive writings of the renowned Gerhad Forde, whose influence continues to grow. The list of works trace the contours of Forde's theological argument. Organized around "Law and Gospel," the selections start off with some historical background on that doctrinal locus, but for the most part express Forde's own views of the law and the gospel, including death and resurrection, the bondage of the will, good works, preaching, and the sacraments. Besides these essential writings, the book will provide a definitive introduction by the editors, which includes a brief biography of Forde, an essay regarding his doctrinal interpretation, and a sketch of the Forde legacy. Also contained in the volume will be a comprehensive bibliography of all of Forde's published works plus work published about him.

Book Synopsis Accidental Saints by : Nadia Bolz-Weber
Download or read book Accidental Saints written by Nadia Bolz-Weber and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if that person you've been trying to avoid is your best shot at grace today? ...And what if that's the point? In Accidental Saints, New York Times best-selling author Nadia Bolz-Weber invites readers into a surprising encounter with what she calls “a religious but not-so-spiritual life.” Tattooed, angry and profane, this former standup comic turned pastor stubbornly, sometimes hilariously, resists the God she feels called to serve. But God keeps showing up in the least likely of people—a church-loving agnostic, a drag queen, a felonious Bishop and a gun-toting member of the NRA. As she lives and worships alongside these “accidental saints,” Nadia is swept into first-hand encounters with grace—a gift that feels to her less like being wrapped in a warm blanket and more like being hit with a blunt instrument. But by this grace, people are transformed in ways they couldn’t have been on their own. In a time when many have rightly become disillusioned with Christianity, Accidental Saints demonstrates what happens when ordinary people share bread and wine, struggle with scripture together, and tell each other the truth about their real lives. This unforgettable account of their faltering steps toward wholeness will ring true for believer and skeptic alike. Told in Nadia’s trademark confessional style, Accidental Saints is the stunning next work from one of today’s most important religious voices.

Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device Nadia is a woman who grew up with a very strict view of how to imagine Christ, God, and the Bible. Because of that she felt she just couldn't live up to what she was taught so she withdrew and became a different person. She went through trials and tribulations. Maybe more than some of us do. She was a drug user and abused alcohol. She was angry, depressed, and scared. But somehow she came through the other side. Despite still being a swearing, sarcastic, tattooed, and sometimes angry woman, she found her way back to God and became a Lutheran pastor for All Saints and Sinners Church in Colorado. She felt like she never fit in as she was growing up, and that has actually helped her lead her fellow parishioners through their own troubles. She uses her stories, tells her truths, and is fully open about herself showing that she is not perfect to help them see what a hard, wonderful, tough, beautiful, strange place we all share through God's grace.Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn When You Download Your Copy Today * How The Author Became An Accidental Saint * The Reason Why People Become Saints When They Are Trying To Become Something Else * Learn About Some Of The Worlds Greatest Accidental Saints Download Your Copy Today!

Book Synopsis India’s Economic Corridor Initiatives by : Kashif Hasan Khan
Download or read book India’s Economic Corridor Initiatives written by Kashif Hasan Khan and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-04 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India’s Economic Corridor Initiatives highlights key aspects of current discourses on India’s initiative of the International North-South Transport Corridor (INSTC) and Chabahar, and their geo-economic significance. INSTC was founded by India, Russia, and Iran, and the Chabahar port in Iran provides a major prospective conduit for India's interchange and commerce with West Central Asia while maintaining a strategic distance from Pakistan's entry route. This book analyses the drastic changes in the equation of international relations in general, and more particularly between India and Eurasian countries. Contributors from Iran, Central Asia, Russia, Armenia and Europe provide a wide spectrum of opinion and analysis on the subject. The chapters claim that these corridors provide an alternative to the BRI and can play a pivotal role in de-escalating tensions through negotiations. A new addition to the debate on contemporary dynamics in Eurasia and India, this book will be of interest to researchers studying economic corridors, transnational and trans-regional economic relationships, security studies, regional and area studies, international relations and Indo-Iran-Russia relations.
