Book Synopsis Speaking of God by : D. Stephen Long
Download or read book Speaking of God written by D. Stephen Long and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-21 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this theological tour de force D. Stephen Long addresses a key question in current theological debate: the conditions of the possibility of God-talk, along with attending questions about natural theology, fideism, and theological truth-claims. He engages not only the most significant contemporary theologians and philosophers on this score (Denys Turner, Bruce Marshall, Charles Taylor, Fergus Kerr) but also the legacy of twentieth-century theology (Barth, von Balthasar) and the analytic philosophical tradition from Wittgenstein to Davidson. Throughout, Long sustains a careful exegetical engagement with Aquinas, showing that what s at stake in contemporary theology is just how we inherit St. Thomas. / Central to Long s project is averting the charge of fideism so often laid at the feet of postliberal approaches (like his own). To that end Long argues for a (chastened) natural theology, while challenging any simple distinction between natural and confessional theology. / In joining these many voices into one conversation, Long does a remarkable job of surveying the current theological scene with respect to issues of language and truth, arguing for the need to deal head-on with classical questions of metaphysics. . . . An excellent and significant book. James K. A. Smith / Calvin College / Long s discussion of the topic of God and language offers a refreshingly original treatment of traditional approaches. His book cannot be ignored by anyone interested in this topic at any level. John Milbank / University of Nottingham
Book Synopsis Transforming Grace by : Jerry Bridges
Download or read book Transforming Grace written by Jerry Bridges and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living Confidently in God's Unfailing Love Grace is amazing because it is God's provision for when we fall short of His standards. Unfortunately, too many of us embrace grace for our salvation but then leave it behind in our everyday lives. We base our relationship with God on our performance rather than on His love for us, even when we intuitively know that our performance cannot earn us the love we so desperately crave. Isn't it time to stop trying to measure up and begin accepting the transforming power of God's grace? The product of more than ten years of Bible study, Navigator author Jerry Bridges's Transforming Grace is a fountainhead of inspiration and renewal that will show you just how inexhaustible and generous God's grace really is. This edition includes the full study guide, which was formerly available as a separate product (ISBN 9781600063046).

Find the answers to some of your most heartfelt questions, such as: Is God in control? Can I trust God? What is our responsibility when things are hard? How can I grow through adversity? And more Explore the scope of God’s care and control over nations, nature, and the tiny details of your life. You’ll find yourself trusting Him more completely―even when life hurts.

Book Synopsis The Blessing of Humility by : Jerry Bridges
Download or read book The Blessing of Humility written by Jerry Bridges and published by Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.. This book was released on 2016 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all admire humility when we see it. But how do we practice it? How does humility--the foundational virtue of the normal Christian life--become a normal part of our everyday lives? Jerry Bridges sees in the Beatitudes a series of blessings from Jesus, a pattern for humility in action. Starting with poverty in spirit--an acknowledgment that in and of ourselves we are incapable of living holy lives pleasing to God--and proceeding through our mourning over personal sin, our hunger and thirst for righteousness, our experience of persecutions large and small, and more, we discover that humility is itself a blessing: At every turn, God is present to us, giving grace to the humble and lifting us up to blessing.
Book Synopsis The Discipline of Grace by : Jerry Bridges
Download or read book The Discipline of Grace written by Jerry Bridges and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God's Role and Our Role in the Pursuit of Holiness You are never beyond the reach of God's grace. Neither are you ever beyond the need of God's grace. Without grace we'd never come to Christ. But being a Christian is more than just coming to Christ, it's about growing and becoming more like Jesus. This pursuit of holiness is hard work, and as we enter into this discipline, we sometimes lose sight of grace. Jerry Bridges helps us steer clear of this disastrous distraction, offering a clear and thorough explanation of the gospel and what it means to the believer. Explore how the same grace that brings us to Christ also grows us in Christ. Includes full study guide (which was previously sold as a stand-alone discussion guide, ISBN 9781576839904).

Download or read book The Fruitful Life written by Jerry Bridges and published by Tyndale House. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We want to live loving, joyful, anxiety-free lives. Yet how can we live in grace when we’re so busy battling our old patterns of behavior? Jerry Bridges explores the nine aspects of the “fruit of the Spirit” described in Galatians 5:22-23: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. These qualities of character can truly mark our lives if we devote ourselves to a twofold pursuit: God-centeredness and God-likeness. Jerry shows us how to practice the fruit in daily life. When The Fruitful Life first released, Jerry said, “It was the book I had wanted to write that included everything I forgot and/or learned since The Pursuit of Holiness.”
Download or read book Romans written by Jared C. Wilson and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Knowing the Bible series is a new resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God's Word. Each 12-week study leads participants through one book of the Bible and is made up of four basic components: (1) Reflection questions designed to help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) "Gospel Glimpses" highlighting the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) "Whole-Bible Connections" showing how any given passage connects to the Bible's overarching story of redemption culminating in Christ; and (4) "Theological Soundings" identifying how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from a wide array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God's grace on each and every page of the Bible. The book of Romans was Paul's greatest literary achievement, a majestic letter in which the apostle expounds on crucial doctrines such as original sin, election, substitutionary atonement, the role of the law, and justification by faith alone. Plumbing the theological depths, Jared Wilson writes with a pastor's eye toward understanding and application as he explains the biblical text with clarity and passion, helping readers follow along as Paul recounts the history of salvation and illuminates the glories of the cross of Christ.

Book Synopsis Children Mean the World to God by : Harold Shank
Download or read book Children Mean the World to God written by Harold Shank and published by 21st Century Christian. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is not what you expect. It's about children, but it's not for children. It's not about how to educate children. It's not directed at parents. It's not the sad story of hurting children. It is a book for the church. It is a call for the church to take up its God-given role and serve children. "We need this book. I have been convicted by this powerful, Biblical challenge to hear the cry of the children and to love and serve them as Jesus did. Dr. Shank's appeal is urgent to church leaders but also to every Christian. He is writing to all of us who care deeply about children. It is a book that will inspire you to action." - Helen M. Young, Pepperdine University "Children Mean the World to God brings an awareness and urgency back to something that I believe is the heart of God. While the book challenges behavior change, it gives suggestions as to how to care for children. If you are needing a shot in the arm (and heart), this book will bring you back to the heart of ministry. I would hope that you pass it on to your leadership and make a difference in our churches from the top down." - Dudly Chancey, Professor of Youth Ministry, Oklahoma Christian University "This book deserves major attention! Harold Shank shares not only his heart and soul but also God's heart for the souls of children. The theology is powerful but it is the practicality that moved me. This book is thoroughly researched and emotionally touching. With Harold, concern for children is no passing fancy, it is do or die - and it should be the same with all of God's children - old or young." - Paul Faulkner, Marriage Enrichment Seminars "Harold Shank has mixed in Ishmael, Eddy, Jonah, and April into confrontive concoction that guarantees we will never be the same. He admits his own failures to notice and care in such a way that we can look at our failures with him. We believe anew that we can change the world by changing a child." - Nick Boone, Lipscomb University Harold Shank's interest in children includes his role as President of Ohio Valley University, a school in Vienna, West Virginia, associated with Churches of Christ, along with serving as the national spokesperson for Christian Child and Family Services Association, a nationwide network of agencies ministering to vulnerable children and their families. Harold blogs about children and ministry on his website: www.haroldshank.com. For 21 years he taught young people at two Christian universities. With a Ph.D. in Old Testament, Shank is also the author of seven books. During his career he preached for 30 years and helped plant a dozen congregations. Harold and his wife, Sally, have two adult sons, Daniel and Nathan.

With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God’s grace on every page of the Bible. 1–2 Peter and Jude are letters written to churches experiencing various kinds of trials—false teachers, distorted views of the gospel, and harsh persecution. If 1 Peter exults, “Jesus will return!” and 2 Peter rebuffs the claim, “Jesus won’t return,” then Jude exhorts, “Jesus is just about here!” Together, these letters form a kind of manifesto of hope for living faithfully no matter how dark the times. This study highlights the importance of holding fast to the true gospel, living distinct, holy lives, and looking ahead to the return of Christ. Part of the Knowing the Bible series.
