Book Synopsis The God You Thought You Knew by : Richard L. Neil
Download or read book The God You Thought You Knew written by Richard L. Neil and published by Review and Herald Pub Assoc. This book was released on 2005 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We struggle to like our enemies. God asks us to love them. Our cupboards are bare. God asks us to make Him a feast. We cannot walk. God asks us to carry our burden. We think the secret is trying harder! The God we thought we knew made us clench our spiritual teeth in frustration and struggle to merit His approval. That God tantalized us with the prospect of eternal life, held just beyond our reach, so we spend our lives striving to be better and falling short of His standards. But the real God asks us to die. Then He patiently molds each persevering, yielding sinner--each living sacrifice--into His divine image. The real God does not ask us to deserve forgiveness. Only to accept it. Meet the real God. Let Him transform your relationships. You'll never be the same.
Book Synopsis The God You Thought You Knew by : Alex McFarland
Download or read book The God You Thought You Knew written by Alex McFarland and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2015-09-29 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Popular Apologist Corrects the Record on What Christianity Is All About The Christianity our culture rejects may not be true Christianity at all. So many people today believe they have to be good to be accepted by God, or that the Bible is just a list of do's and don'ts, or that God is far away and unapproachable. Instead of providing "proofs" about God and the Bible, in this book Alex provides a reason to want to know Jesus. By sharing his own story of the loneliness and alienation of his youth, Alex taps in to universal fears of rejection and loneliness. We all seek acceptance and purpose--and there's only one solution. Learn how to be anchored in the Truth and security that comes through Christ.
Book Synopsis The God You Thought You Knew by : Etta Anderson
Download or read book The God You Thought You Knew written by Etta Anderson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people tend to read the Bible at the surface level and accept and obey what is there unquestioningly. This book takes an entirely different approach. It encourages readers to be honest and bold to acknowledge seeming shortcomings and question them. Who is bold enough to admit that the Genesis account of our origin is a weird story too difficult for an intelligent mind to accept and embrace? Even worse is the story of the Fall that sounds more like myth than fact. Why couldnt God forgive a mere peccadillo and let the couple continue living in paradise? The book is not a call to rebellion or irreverence. It appeals to intelligence, maturity and imagination to read between the lines, dig deep, connect the dots and uncover the rich treasures hidden there. It even veers into hallowed grounds and dares to question piously held views. How did Jesus, for example, end up with Judas in his camp of hand-picked disciples? What was he thinking? What a price he paid for what was clearly a bad choice! The book forges into areas where readers have been mum, bringing to the fore violence and brutality, and questions how they could be associated with God the Father of his gentle Son, Jesus. But the pauses are mere signposts of something rich hiding underneath. The God You Thought You Knew is a compendium of rich treasures gathered from a trip across the Scriptures that will generate a new excitement for Gods holy word.

Book Synopsis The Good Grief Devotional by : Brent D. Christianson
Download or read book The Good Grief Devotional written by Brent D. Christianson and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2019-02-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wise, honest companion for the journey through grief Whether you are struggling with your own grief or walking with a friend or family member who is grieving, you know the journey is not smooth or straightforward. The Good Grief Devotional offers wise, honest companionship to those who are struggling with the death of a loved one, a divorce, the loss of a job, or another major life transition. Pastor Brent D. Christianson's fifty-two devotions follow the ten stages of grief outlined in Granger Westberg's helpful book Good Grief, published in 1968. Millions of people have found in it validation for their grief, understanding of their feelings, and a way to live through grief and into a new reality. Christianson begins each stage with a reflection on that aspect of grief and then considers what the stage means for the reader's self-understanding and relationships with other people, creation, and God. Each devotion ends with questions to think about and talk about with another person, healing actions one might take, and a prayer. The Good Grief Devotional provides pastoral care, faces the reality of loss, and points the way to hope. Readers will want to return to this collection year after year as they are changed by their journey.

Download or read book J R written by William Gaddis and published by New York Review of Books. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 785 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A National Book Award-winning satire about the unchecked power of American capitalism, written more than three decades before the 2008 financial crisis. At the center of J R is J R Vansant, a very average sixth grader from Long Island with torn sneakers, a runny nose, and a juvenile fascination with junk-mail get-rich-quick offers. Responding to one, he sees a small return; soon, he is running a paper empire out of a phone booth in the school hallway. Everyone from the school staff to the municipal government to the squabbling heirs of a player-piano company to the titans of Wall Street and the politicians in Washington will be caught up in the endlessly ballooning bubble of the J R Family of Companies. First published in 1975 and winner of the National Book Award in 1976, J R is an appallingly funny and all-too-prophetic depiction of America’s romance with finance. It is also a book about suburban development and urban decay, divorce proceedings and disputed wills, the crumbling facade of Western civilization and the impossible demands of love and art, with characters ranging from the earnest young composer Edward Bast to the berserk publicist Davidoff. Told almost entirely through dialogue, William Gaddis’s novel is both a literary tour de force and an unsurpassed reckoning with the way we live now.
Book Synopsis Passionate God by : Kenneth C. PhD Ulmer
Download or read book Passionate God written by Kenneth C. PhD Ulmer and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2013-01-21 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people envision God as a strict father figure--stern, detached, exacting, and vengeful--lacking feelings and emotions. Yet, once we come to understand that God actually expresses a wide range of passion, we will relate to Him on a much more "human" level and start seeing Him for who He really is. In Passionate God, Kenneth Ulmer helps us understand and appreciate the "humanity" of God as expressed through His emotions: joy, sympathy, grief, care, laughter, jealousy, humor, anger, and, of course, love. This book will change the way people view and relate to God because it reveals a Creator intimately involved with His beloved creation and is more like us than we ever imagined.

Book Synopsis The Longest Pleasure by : Anne Mather

Book excerpt: It was her grandmother's death that drew Helen Michaels back to Castle Howarth and the man who had shattered her world ten years ago—the man she still despised. Rafe Fleming followed in his father's footsteps and was now the overseer of the magnificent mansion. He was the only reason Helen's visits had been so infrequent. How she hated him—and hated herself for the way her heart raced when he turned his heated gaze on her or treated her with smug self-assurance. Why had her grandmother willed Castle Howarth to hint—with a clause that bordered on the absurd? The castle would belong to Helen, also—providing she and Rafe marry. Of course, that was impossible.
