Book Synopsis The Universal Christ by : Richard Rohr
Download or read book The Universal Christ written by Richard Rohr and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.
Book Synopsis Monumental Jesus by : Margaret M. Grubiak
Download or read book Monumental Jesus written by Margaret M. Grubiak and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2020-02-11 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American landscape is host to numerous works of religious architecture, sometimes questionable in taste and large, if not titanic, in scale. In her lively study of satire and religious architecture, Margaret Grubiak challenges how we typically view such sites by shifting the focus from believers to doubters, and from producers to consumers. Grubiak considers an array of sacred architectural constructions—from "Touchdown Jesus" at the University of Notre Dame to the Wizard of Oz Mormon temple outside Washington D.C. to the renamed "Gumby Jesus" of the Christ of the Ozarks statue in Eureka Springs, Arkansas - and how such constructions are confronted by the doubt and dismissiveness articulated by the more skeptical of their viewers. These responses of doubt activate our religious built environment in ways unanticipated but illuminating, asking us, at times forcefully, to consider and clarify what it is we believe. Opening up new avenues of thinking about how people deal with theological questions in the vernacular, Grubiak’s book shows how religious doubt is made manifest in the humorous, satirical, blasphemous, and popular culture responses to religious architecture and image in modern America.

Download or read book Resurrection written by Jim Dent and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2010-08-31 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jim Dent, author of the New York Times bestselling The Junction Boys returns with the remarkable and inspiring story of one of the biggest comebacks in college football history. In the 1960's, Notre Dame's football program was in shambles. Little did anyone know, help was on its way in the form of Ara Parseghian, a controversial choice for head coach—the first one outside of the Notre Dame "family." It was now his responsibility to rebuild the once-proud program and teach the Fighting Irish how to win again. But it was no small task. The men of Notre Dame football were a bunch of unlikelies and oddballs, but Parseghian transformed them into a team: a senior quarterback who would win the Heisman Trophy; a five-foot-eight walk-on who would make first team All-American; an exceptionally rare black player, who would overcome much more than his quiet demeanor to rise to All-American, All-Pro, Hall of Famer, and to the Minnesota Supreme Court. Parseghian would change everything, from the uniforms and pads to the offensive strategy. It would be a huge gamble against great obstacles. But Ara Parseghian had that look in his eye.... New York Times bestselling author Jim Dent chronicles one of the greatest comeback seasons in the history of college football. Once again confirming his position as one of the top sports writers in the country, Dent brings the legends of Notre Dame football to life in an unforgettable story of second chances, determination, and unwavering spirit.
Download or read book The Jesus Seed written by Del Walters and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-11-12 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hitler believed the Lance of Longinius, or the spear used to pierce the side of Jesus while he hung on the cross, would make him immortal. Michael Ude believes it contains the actual DNA of Christ. When that DNA is stolen, the delivery of a single video tape sets the faith based community on its head. The tape claims to contain footage of a woman who is carrying the Jesus Seed, or Christs clone. But that is just the beginning of an all out war on Christianity. It begins when a suicide fighter pilot files a supersonic jet into the Christ the Redeemer Statue in Brazil. Then a woman named Mary is infected with the deadly Ebola virus under a giant cross in Illinois. Suddenly suicide bombers target Notre Dame, in Paris, the National Cathedral and Mormon Temples in Washington, D.C. But these terrorists arent Islamic. Theyre faithful Christians. Behind it all, a billionaire bent on revenge and a Catholic Cardinal, both convinced the Apocalypse is already happening. The Jesus Seed is set against a factual backdrop that says human cloning is not only possible, but probably has already happened. The Jesus Seed examines what would happen if science brought about the Apocalypse as called for the in the book of Revelations. The Jesus Seed is a head on battle between science and faith. Its a life and death race against a centuries old biblical deadlinethe birth of Christ. Will history repeat itself? Three decades after the cloning of Dolly the Sheep, and Baby Louise Brown, is it really possible to clone Jesus? What role will race play? These are just some of the questions explored in Del Walters explosive follow to The RACE and Wereth, the Black Parade, The Jesus Seed.
Download or read book Jesus Jackson written by James Ryan Daley and published by Sourcebooks, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-10-07 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Smart and sweet, comforting and moving."—Kirkus Reviews STARRED review Jonathan Stiles is a 14-year-old atheist who is coping with his first day of ninth grade at the fervently religious St. Soren's Academy when his idolized older brother Ryan is found dead. As his world crumbles, Jonathan meets an eccentric stranger who bears an uncanny resemblance to Jesus Christ (except for his white linen leisure suit and sparkling gold chains). Jesus Jackson, as he calls himself, offers to provide faith to Jonathan. He also suggests that Ryan's death may not have been an accident after all. With the help of his new friend, Henry, and Ryan's grieving girlfriend, Tristan, Jonathan sets out to discover the truth about Ryan's death—and about God, high school, and the meaning of life, while he's at it. But he's distracted by Cassie—number one suspect Alistair's younger sister—who holds the keys to the answers Jonathan is searching for, but who also makes him wonder if he should be searching for them at all.
Download or read book Playing for More written by Case Keenum and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Case Keenum has traveled one of the most unique paths in the NFL. Recruited by just one college, undrafted, and released three times, Case has overcome every obstacle to become a successful starting quarterback. In 2017, Keenum captured America’s imagination by leading the Minnesota Vikings to a 13-3 record and an NFC North title. His game-winning touchdown in the final seconds of their divisional playoff game against the Saints, the "Minneapolis Miracle," made Case part of NFL history. Keenum shares stories from every stage of his life, starting out as a ball boy for his father’s college team in West Texas, going on to win a state title in high school, and rewriting the NCAA record book at the University of Houston. A devastating knee injury almost derailed his football career, but helped him get closer to the woman who would soon become his wife. Throughout his story, Case will explain how being a Christian helped him navigate the winding path to success. No matter what obstacle has been placed in front of him, Case believes God has a plan for him. That’s why he plays football and that’s why he’s writing this book: To glorify God and to help others who face adversity in their everyday life. “Am I a football player who happens to be a Christian?” Case writes, "No, I’m a Christian who happens to be a football player. That’s my calling. That’s my defining characteristic. Once I realized that, everything else fell into place. I became a better football player and, more importantly, a better person.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Insisting that we cease focusing on who the historical Jesus was and ask instead, who is Christ? Meeks demonstrates with electric and lucid prose that Jesus is not a permanent artifact whose precise nature can be traced back through history but, rather, a figure whose identity continues to emerge as contemporary persons engage him in their daily lives.

Book Synopsis Looking Back, Moving Forward - Bittersweet by : Candace Wayne
Download or read book Looking Back, Moving Forward - Bittersweet written by Candace Wayne and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When lawyer, wife and mother Candace Wayne’s beloved husband John is diagnosed with Lewy Bodies Dementia, she finally has a name for the small changes she’s born witness to for years. In this essay collection, Candace offers snapshots of the years leading up to John’s death, and those that unfold afterward. Task-oriented and responsible, Candace is efficient in her role as caretaker, learning how to best support a husband who must come to terms with his slow-creeping loss of self-sufficiency. Meanwhile, Candace’s daughters have their own experience with their father’s changes, and the whole family must bend without breaking to accommodate his loss. By turns raw and contemplative, Candace’s essays depict family road trips, restaurant outings, and doctors appointments, and finally John’s last breaths. Much like Joan Didion’s The Year of Magical Thinking, this collection is true to the experience of mourning, taking the reader through the author’s real-time experiences before revisiting episodes through the lens of retrospect. Ultimately, the author’s sadness makes way for reluctant optimism as Candace awakens to the bittersweet realization that the person her husband’s death caused her to become is a woman she’s grateful to know.
Book Synopsis The Marxist Goliath Among Us by : Ronald J. Lawrence
Download or read book The Marxist Goliath Among Us written by Ronald J. Lawrence and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many believe America is secure and we are safe because communism is dead. That prevailing supposition is delusive. Marxism is flourishing and no less venomous. Christianity and family are predicted to collapse, our freedom replaced with its tyranny. Jesus prophesied: "They will deliver you to tribulation and will kill you." So did Lenin: "Destroy the family, you destroy the country." Who are Marxism's covert operatives? - Ministers influenced by Marxist theology are helping create "Christian Socialism." A church group supports Cuban spies in America and has financed communist movements. - The unwanted, the burdens on society, are eliminated by euthanasia's hired killers as "death with dignity." - Humanism, a powerful weapon in Marxism's arsenal, promotes individualism and marital infidelity, insisting God is a mass "sociopathic killer." - Marxism endorses drug trafficking to destroy our culture. - Planned Parenthood promotes youthful sex and disobedience to parental authority, protects pedophiles and offers abortion. It has advocated killing Christians. - The Communist Party insists it is tolerant of, and cooperative with, Christianity, but it is no less atheistic. - Jesus is being crucified with evil words and depictions his crowns of thorns on Marxism's cross of decadence. - Satanism is prospering with its death rituals and immorality because Karl Marx was a committed emissary of Satan. How can we rescue ourselves from this threat and save America? God tells us in His Word. We must confront the Marxist goliath, as David did, and annihilate it. Ronald J. Lawrence is a retired criminal investigative reporter for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He gained knowledge of Marxism during the Vietnam War when he infiltrated the Young Socialist Alliance, an influential communist organization, rose to second-in-command and later testified before the U. S. House Committee on Internal Security. He is a committed Christian and has dedicated his life to God.
