Download or read book How to be a Christian Without Being Religious written by Fritz Ridenour and published by Gospel Light Publications. This book was released on 2002-06-06 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the days of the Early Church, Christians have struggled to find a way to be 'good'-to please God by their own efforts. They end up carrying a burden God never intended them to bear. And what's more, their brand of Christianity ends up looking like any other religion of the world-bound by joyless rules and rituals. Fritz Ridenour's study of the book of Romans provides an antidote to the pharisaical spirit and shows that Christianity is not a religion but a relationship. It is not man reaching up, but God reaching down. Every Christian can enjoy his or her birthright when they realize who they are in Christ. The result is a life full of hope, joy, power and potential.

Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2022 ECPA CHRISTIAN BOOK AWARD FOR NEW AUTHOR Healthy relationships across cultures are possible. Dr. Michelle Reyes takes a close look at the concept of cultural accommodation found in Scripture—and especially in the letter of 1 Corinthians—to redefine how Christians interact with cultural narratives that are different from their own. Christians—whose standard of living is oneness in Christ, whose gospel is radically nonexclusive—should be at the frontlines of justice and of cross-cultural unity. But many of us struggle to reach outside of our own cultural bubbles and form real relationships that move beyond stereotypes and lead to understanding, healing, and solidarity across cultural lines. Why is that? Why is it so difficult to reconcile our call to be united in Christ with a celebration of different cultural expressions? What are the reasons for cultural differences and how do they so often lead to stereotyping, appropriation, gentrification, racism, and other forms of injustice? What does the Bible say about human beings as cultural image bearers? How do we reevaluate our awareness of culture identity in a healthy and constructive way? These are just some of the questions that Dr. Reyes explores as she faces the challenges surrounding cross-cultural relationships in America today and her thoughts on the way forward. Spoiler Alert! The way forward does require willingness to change. It requires embracing cultural discomfort. But by engaging with this book, you will be empowered to learn how to become all things to all people—that is: how to reflect Jesus' love in a multicultural, multiracial body of Christ and to share that love with a hurting world.

Book excerpt: The book consists primarily of interviews between Strobel (a former legal editor at the Chicago Tribune) and biblical scholars such as Bruce Metzger.

Together, these interviews compose a case brief defending Jesus' divinity, and urging readers to reach a verdict of their own.

With their engaging, straightforward style, Bruce and Stan explain what God has done for humanity, what God wants people to do so they can know Him better, and how individuals can reflect the love of Christ to the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fea offers an even-handed primer on whether America was founded to be a Christian nation, as many evangelicals assert, or a secular state, as others contend.

Readers on both sides of the issues will appreciate that this book occupies a middle ground, noting the good points and the less-nuanced arguments of both sides and leading us always back to the primary sources that our shared American history comprises.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I wish this book had been around when I was an atheist and started to seek God. It's a no-nonsense, practical, and insightful guide that will help all those on a quest for spiritual truth. If you're investigating whether there's any substance to the Christian faith, you must read this important book."--Lee Strobel, former award-winning legal editor of the Chicago Tribune and bestselling author of more than twenty books *** In our post-Christian age, the old answers for skeptics are no longer cutting it. Why? Because they largely seek to answer the wrong questions. Our world is changing, and while the gospel never changes, the way we talk about it and learn about it must. Christianity for People Who Aren't Christians answers both classic and bleeding-edge questions that skeptics have about the faith, such as - Is there a God? - Why do the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus matter? - Why is there so much suffering in the world? - Why do Christians think there is only one way to know God? - How do I reconcile the Bible's picture of Christ's followers with the actual Christians I know who have disappointed me? Covering such topics as astrophysics, social justice, and acceptance of the LGBTQ community, this one-of-a-kind book is perfect for those skeptical of Christianity and for those who love them and want to keep the line of communication open.

Download or read book How I Became a Christian Despite the Church written by Greg Austen and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-11 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The church can be a mess and--worse--a real source of misery. I know. I've experienced it. There are tons of hypocrites and even dangerous wolves in sheep's clothing. Lots of folks that are afraid of science and of learning from "secular" people. How I Became a Christian Despite the Church is my story of finding God despite the isolated, fear-based, get-a-scalp-on-your-belt-for-Jesus, fun-sucking culture that my parents were part of. It's the story of how my childhood pastor and his despotic wife terrorized and abused their foster children, as well as others.Shame, abuse, and especially distorted views of sex are a big part of my story. As is sorting out beliefs, emotions, desires, and actions to relearn how to be human. Amidst the macabre and the dissonance, however, you'll also find refrains of hope, a reasonable faith, and love.Although the book is a roadmap of healing and growth for all, it's especially written for those who've been grown up in religious environments that have left them empty at best or crushed at worst. If you're searching for better answers, a cure for pain, or are just curious to see how bad it could be, this book is for you.Praise for How I Became a Christian Despite the Church:"Greg has braved the intensely challenging and not-often traveled road of sorting out toxic childhood beliefs while retaining a strong faith in Jesus Christ. This candid account of his journey to spiritual freedom is a gut-wrenching read with a happy ending that will give hope to anyone navigating a similar path."--Alli Nielsen, Center Content Manager for Care Net Lansdowne, VA "I've had the pleasure of calling Greg a friend and colleague in ministry for several years now. In that time I've benefitted greatly from his wisdom, Christian maturity and insightful perspectives. This book helps explain how the crucible of Greg's earlier life has made him the man and leader that he is today. As he tells his story, Greg offers a path of healing and restoration for others who might have experienced a similar journey to his own. Greg's adept use of culture to illustrate the narrative adds to the book, with even a suggested song playlist included! I, for one, am grateful for how Greg Austen became a Christian despite the Church...and for how this book can help many other people."--Andrew Smith, Pastor of Presbyterian Church of Kennett Square (EPC) Kennett Square, PA "It's easy enough, when one has grown up in a religiously manipulative and abusive environment, to reject faith altogether. Indeed, bookstores are replete with such memoirs of former "saints" who have bid God farewell. This isn't one of those books. Greg shares intimate and painful stories of a childhood marred by religious abuse-- abuse that left scars still felt today. Yet despite the hurt and pain, Greg chose a more difficult path. He chose to search his past for the love masked by the hurt and the truth behind all the lies. If you've been let down by the church, or been one of the many abused by it, this book will give you a glimpse into how one can still find God, even when most of what you've seen done in His name is anything but holy."--Ardee Coolidge, Leesburg Church of the Nazarene Leesburg, VA "Dr. Austen has written an intensely personal narrative detailing the toxic effects on himself and his family of sinful and dysfunctional church leadership. While he is specific in describing the long term damage with which he still struggles, the theme of redemption is never absent. Gathering data from theology to pop culture, he demonstrates how a Biblical world view, and firm commitment to historic Christianity, provides hope and a measure of healing. Jesus said he would build his Church and hell would not overcome it. Dr. Austen proves that even the damage we inflict on the Body of Christ cannot stop God's work of grace in his children."--Dr. Ken LarterPastor, Deerfield Presbyterian Church (EPC)Deerfield, NJ
