Book excerpt: A few years ago I saw a bumper sticker on a car that said, "Let Our Kids Pray." I had an immediate reaction.... I went to my car and got a pen and paper and wrote on the paper, "Who's stopping them?" and put it under the windshield wiper. (from Let Our Kids Pray) Carl B. Rife found sermon themes on bumper stickers. With the help of his congregation, he identified seven familiar themes and crafted sermons from them. The sermons in this book are sometimes an elaboration, sometimes a correction, sometimes an argument, and sometimes a discussion of the particular sentiment found on the bumper sticker. This book touches a number of basic Christian themes including: Creation Forgiveness The second coming God's word Prayer Grace Discipleship Carl Rife is pastor of Milford Mill United Methodist Church in Baltimore, Maryland.

Book Synopsis Bumper Sticker Religion by : Michael D. Arena
Download or read book Bumper Sticker Religion written by Michael D. Arena and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2022-08-05 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bumper Sticker Religion By: Michael D. Arena How can hundreds of religious organizations use the same Bible to support wildly different doctrines? Has God spread confusion among us, or are we just limited in our understanding? The answer is neither; those divergences came from our failure to recognize some basic concepts needed to properly understand what we read. In a narrative that can be useful to a lay person, Bumper Sticker Religion shows how the scriptures are often misused or misunderstood. It also gives insight for a non-churched individual on what Christianity is about and how divisions arose. A quick and easy read, this book is perfect for a curious person who doesn’t want to pursue a time-consuming deep study into the Christian religion.
Book Synopsis Bumper Sticker Be-Attitudes by : Deb DeArmond
Download or read book Bumper Sticker Be-Attitudes written by Deb DeArmond and published by Elk Lake Publishing Incorporated. This book was released on 2019-10-12 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We're bombarded by messages from a world determined to inform, sell, and influence. From bumper stickers to billboards, someone's always trying to tell us something. Often, at first glance, these messages may briefly amuse. But a second look may reveal much more as we recognize biblical principles that enlighten, encourage, and empower us-in places we never expected to find them. We shouldn't be surprised to find God in unusual places. Paul tells us in Romans 1:19 "But the basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is!" (MSG). From the bumper of the car in front of us to the fortune cookie after the Chow Mein, one-liners meant to entertain often hold a much deeper meaning when seen through the eyes of those who follow Christ. Bumper Sticker Be-Attitudes captures those deeper meanings, combines them with a hearty helping of fun and touches the heart with humor and truth. If you're a busy believer who needs a chuckle and a chunk of Jesus at the same time, pull quickly into the fast lane. Bumper Sticker Be-Attitudes is your ride to enriching moments with Jesus!
Book Synopsis Bumper Stickers on the Clouds by : Ron Ritts
Download or read book Bumper Stickers on the Clouds written by Ron Ritts and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Did you ever look at the clouds in the sky and notice the bumper stickers God has pasted on them to try and get our attention? Bumper Stickers on the Clouds presents some of the signs you may have missed. The essays and humorous stories included within will help you to relax, laugh, and provide some new perspectives on your Christian journey. Bible references and the "re-telling" of Bible stories and verses assist in furthering the understanding and thinking that we must use in order to successfully carry out God's plan for each of us. Do you ever have questions about God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, or the Bible? What about the creation story? Who exactly was at fault in the whole Garden of Eden fiasco? How many of each animal did Moses take on the ark? (Answer: zero. It was Noah with the animals, not Moses, but even ministers fall for this old joke ) Laughter is one of God's great gifts to us. In the world today, we sometimes are too quick to not see the humor of our earthly life. We become offended rather than realize how therapeutic laughter can be. Keep your heart light and be joyful
Book Synopsis Grace Sticks by : Kristina Robb-Dover
Download or read book Grace Sticks written by Kristina Robb-Dover and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2013-10-10 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even on a bumper sticker, grace is irresistible. Grace Sticks: The Bumper Sticker Gospel for Restless Souls is light-hearted spiritual memoir and theological travel guidance for restless souls looking for more direction, more truth, and more life. Robb-Dover invites readers to reflect on how the bumper stickers they affix to their cars or entertain at traffic lights are themselves spiritual aspirations of sorts pointing to One who is the Way, the Truth and the Life. In their meanderings, with bumper stickers as pit stops, readers will laugh, cry, be provoked, and be inspired to look for God in the most seemingly frivolous and unlikely of places. They'll discover in the process there's as much grace to be found in the journeying itself as in the destination.

Book Synopsis Religion, Theatre, and Performance by : Lance Gharavi
Download or read book Religion, Theatre, and Performance written by Lance Gharavi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-12-21 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intersections of religion, politics, and performance form the loci of many of the most serious issues facing the world today, sites where some of the world’s most pressing and momentous events are contested and played out. That this circumstance warrants continued, thoughtful, and imaginative engagement from those within the fields of theatre and performance is one of the guiding principles of this volume. This collection features a diverse set of perspectives, written by some of the top scholars in the relevant fields, on the many modern intersections of religion with theatre and performance. Contributors argue that religion can no longer be conceived of as a cultural phenomenon that is safely sequestered in the "private sphere." It is instead an explicitly public force that stimulates and complicates public actions, and thus a crucial component of much performance. From mystic theologies of acting to the neuroscience of spirituality in rituals to the performance of secularism, these essays address a broad variety of religious traditions, sharing a common conception of religion as a crucial object of discourse—one that is formed by, and significantly formative of, performance.

Book Synopsis Religious Commodifications in Asia by : Pattana Kitiarsa
Download or read book Religious Commodifications in Asia written by Pattana Kitiarsa and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-11-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the growing academic concerns of the market-religion convergences in Asia. Bringing together a group of leading scholars from Asia, Europe, Australia and North America, it discusses multiple issues regarding religious commodifications and their consequences across Asia’s diverse religious traditions. Covering key issues in the anthropology and sociology of contemporary Asian religion, it draws theoretical implications for the study of religions in the light of the shift of religious institutions from traditional religious beliefs to material prosperity. The fact that religions compete with each other in a ‘market of faiths’ is also at the core of the analysis. The contributions show how ordinary people and religious institutions in Asia adjusted to, and negotiated with, the penetrative forces of a global market economy into the region’s changing religio-cultural landscapes. An excellent contribution to the growing demands of ethnographically and theoretically updated interpretations of Asian religions, Religious Commodifications in Asia will be of interest to scholars of Asian religion and new religious movements.

Book Synopsis Society Without God by : Phil Zuckerman
Download or read book Society Without God written by Phil Zuckerman and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2010-06-07 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are lawyers, by their very nature, agents of the state, of capital, of institutions of power? Or are there ways in which they can work constructively or transformatively for the disempowered, the working class, the underprivileged? Lawyers in a Postmodern World explores how lawyers actively create the forms of power which they and others deploy. Through engaging case studies, the book examines how lawyers work within and for powerful institutions and provides suggestions--both general and practical--for ways in which the practice of law can be made to work with and for the powerless. Individuals chapters address such subjects as the contradictions of radical law practice; legal work in South Africa; the economics and politics of negotiating justice; feminist legal scholarship and women's gendered lives; the overlapping worlds of law, business, and politics; theories of legal practice; and how lawyers are constitutive of gender relations. Contributing to the book are Maureen Cain (University of West Indies), Yves Dezalay (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, France), Martha Fineman (Columbia University), Sue Lees (University of North London), Doreen McBarnet (Wolfson College, Oxford), Frank Munger (SUNY, Buffalo), Wilfried Scharf (University of Cape Town), Stuart Scheingold (University of Washington), David Sugarman (Lancaster University), and Sally Wheeler (University of Nottingham).

Download or read book Faith in Nature written by Thomas Dunlap and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2009-11-17 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human impulse to religion--the drive to explain the world, humans, and humans’ place in the universe – can be seen to encompass environmentalism as an offshoot of the secular, material faith in human reason and power that dominates modern society. Faith in Nature traces the history of environmentalism--and its moral thrust--from its roots in the Enlightenment and Romanticism through the Progressive Era to the present. Drawing astonishing parallels between religion and environmentalism, the book examines the passion of the movement’s adherents and enemies alike, its concern with the moral conduct of daily life, and its attempt to answer fundamental questions about the underlying order of the world and of humanity’s place within it. Thomas Dunlap is among the leading environmental historians and historians of science in the United States. Originally trained as a chemist, he has a rigorous understanding of science and appreciates its vital importance to environmental thought. But he is also a devout Catholic who believes that the insights of religious revelation need not necessarily be at odds with the insights of scientific investigation. This book grew from his own religious journey and his attempts to understand human ethical obligations and spiritual debts to the natural world. CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2005
