Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of people watch ABC's hit show Shark Tank, in which hopeful entrepreneur-contestants give their all to convince blue-blood billionaires and millionaires to invest in their dreams and turn them into reality. From producer Mark Burnett, a Christian known for his TV series The Bible and A.D., Shark Tank also includes compelling themes about life's nonmaterial attainments, such as grace and salvation, penalty and punishment. The Shark TankTheology extracts these and other themes from the show to give you an excellent collection of talking points for introducing Christ to people. Pastors or youth leaders can use the book imaginatively to create evangelism series, adding clips from the program as visuals that drive home major points. If you enjoy Shark Tank, you will surely enjoy applying The Shark TankTheology to help people make an eternal connection between real-life TV and real life in Jesus.
Book Synopsis From Shark Tank to JWOW by : James Mitchell
Download or read book From Shark Tank to JWOW written by James Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A glimpse into one Entrepreneur's journey, leaving a company he built to accepting his "Calling"; motivated by belief that life is a gift, so to not be wasted or taken for granted! You'll see how his stubbornness and tenacity served him as he was led down the road of having to let go of dreams in how he thought they were to fulfill his purpose. You'll learn of four adversities in four short months that broke him down to complete surrender, to the point close friends pleaded with him to medicate. His faith alone at times all he had, would lead him through his personal desert as Job from the Bible then ultimately into his "God-purposed" Calling! You'll feel his pain, his desperate cries, his loneliness, his feelings of abandonment, rejection and frustration at not only what Shark Tank viewers unknowingly thought of him but his own shareholders, after rumors were created when he stepped away. His knowing the One who will never abandon, as long as he kept returning to Him, is all that kept him going in his loneliest times. This is a story not about religion, but rather about how this man relied on his faith when he had nothing and no one else to turn to.
Book Synopsis Theology and Survival Movies by : Ioan Buteanu
Download or read book Theology and Survival Movies written by Ioan Buteanu and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-03-03 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an innovative analysis of the survival movie genre from an Orthodox Christian anthropological perspective. Grounded in the Orthodox tradition, the approach builds from the first chapter of Genesis where man is described as made in the ‘image’ and after the ‘likeness’ of God. It offers a nuanced theological exploration of the concept of the survival movie and examines a number of significant cinematic creations, illustrating how issues of survival intersect romantic, Western, science fiction and war films. The author reflects on how survival movies offer a path for the study of human nature given they depict people in crisis situations where they may reveal their true characters. As well as discussing the role of a ‘limit situation’ as a narrative element, the book highlights the spiritual aspect of survival and points to the common hope in survival movies for something more than biological survival. It is valuable reading for scholars working in the field of religion and film.

Book excerpt: A second chance at life, a second chance to make things right with the world and help the environment more effectively than recycling could ever do. There is a war going on that we have no idea about, there are battles that are fought in the instant of a lightning bolt, some wars quake and shake the Earth, others make us forget just what we we're doing. Our minds and hearts are the prize of this war, the lines that have been drawn to label "good" and "evil" will be shattered and the truth will spill out like a broken bladder; if you are a brave soul, if you have a curious mind to see exactly what this blind Armageddon is, or how it involves you, then I encourage you to sit down and read a few pages. Like Azuru said, "you are free to believe what you like"
Book Synopsis Theology of Horror by : Ryan G. Duns, SJ
Download or read book Theology of Horror written by Ryan G. Duns, SJ and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theology of Horror explores the dark reaches of popular horror films, bringing to light their implicit theological and philosophical themes. Horror films scare and entertain us, but there’s more to be found in their narratives than simple thrills. Within their shadows, an attentive viewer can glimpse unexpected flashes of orthodox Christian belief. In Theology of Horror, Ryan G. Duns, SJ, invites readers to undertake an unconventional pilgrimage in search of these buried theological insights. Duns uses fifteen classic and contemporary horror films—including The Blair Witch Project, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Candyman, and The Purge—as doorways to deeper reflection. Each chapter focuses on a single film, teasing out its implicit philosophical and theological themes. As the reader journeys through the text, a surprisingly robust theological worldview begins to take shape as glimmers of divine light emerge from the darkness. Engaging and accessible, Theology of Horror proves that, rather than being the domain of nihilists or atheists, the horror film genre can be an opportunity for reflecting on “things visible and invisible,” as Christians profess in the Nicene Creed.

Book excerpt: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches." -Matthew 13: 31-32 In this parable, Jesus talks about how the smallest seed can and does, grow into the largest plant. For religious educators, it is a reminder that no matter how small the thought, action, or word anything can have a lasting impact. In And the Hits Keep Coming, Christopher Poulsen offers the reader a glimpse at many mustard seeds he has encountered in his life. He uses narrative theology, story, to relate his own lived experience to the biblical message of Christ by breaking open his own life. He shares some of the deepest, saddest, and joyous moments in his life and shows how they relate to Christ and religious education. As a religious educator, Christopher understands the importance of story and how relating your own authenticity can help your students to learn and grow. This book serves two purposes: 1. It provides examples for the rest of us to use and 2. It shows us how is unique approach can help us all to be more effective educators.

Download or read book Zwingli written by F. Bruce Gordon and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major new biography of Huldrych Zwingli—the warrior preacher who shaped the early Reformation Huldrych Zwingli (1484–1531) was the most significant early reformer after Martin Luther. As the architect of the Reformation in Switzerland, he created the Reformed tradition later inherited by John Calvin. His movement ultimately became a global religion. A visionary of a new society, Zwingli was also a divisive and fiercely radical figure. Bruce Gordon presents a fresh interpretation of the early Reformation and the key role played by Zwingli. A charismatic preacher and politician, Zwingli transformed church and society in Zurich and inspired supporters throughout Europe. Yet, Gordon shows, he was seen as an agitator and heretic by many and his bellicose, unyielding efforts to realize his vision would prove his undoing. Unable to control the movement he had launched, Zwingli died on the battlefield fighting his Catholic opponents.

Book Synopsis What Would Jesus REALLY Eat? by : Paul Copan
Download or read book What Would Jesus REALLY Eat? written by Paul Copan and published by Castle Quay Books. This book was released on 2019-08-08 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until relatively recently, vegetarianism was considered a positive dietary alternative for Christians. Often considered a preference for those seeking better spiritual awareness for a season, biblical tradition still acknowledged that a plant-based diet wasn’t any more spiritual or moral than eating meat, therefore meat-eating was considered legitimate for humans; not prohibited and was even blessed by God. But, increasingly, and especially in light of the current Green movement that wants to at least limit the eating of meat, alongside the relentless calls by other secular organizations and activists to end meat-eating altogether, it is now more important than ever for people to know what the Bible and biblical tradition have to say about the subject. Within Christian circles, well-meaning people have been pressuring fellow Christians to turn from eating meat- a practice once historically understood as a Christian freedom- and are now asking them to embrace abstinence, but what many are calling “just a new bondage.” Christian leaders are warning the Christian community not to adopt a false commandment that is mostly based on secular activist’s personal convictions. Familiar choruses are now resonating throughout Christian communities: “Meat-eating isn’t compassionate.” “Animals have rights too.” “Aren’t you concerned about animal suffering?” “We should include animals into the moral community.” “Would you kill and eat your dog Lassie?” In response to this clamor, Castle Quay Books has brought together a broad group of scholars who have applied their expertise in a wide range of fields including biblical studies, theology, philosophy, resource management, communication, and generational animal farming, to write an accessible response for all Christians. Contributors to the discussion cover both sides of the debate with their host of important views. Writers include well known authors such as Dr. Walter Kaiser, Dr. Wes Jamison, and Dr. Paul Copan, as well as other well-known authors.

Download or read book So They Say written by Robert H. Mounce and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A good quotation states an insight so shrewdly that not only do you get it, but you can't seem to forget it. It loves to make you slow down and savor truth. These neat little extended metaphors deserve to be heard, examined, and challenged. Quotations present truth in capsule form. Many reflect the wisdom of earlier times; others bring insights that are fresh and contemporary. Some support the status quo; others challenge it. So They Say is a collection of more than seventy quotes, along with author Robert Mounce's reflections on how they relate to the real world. This interaction turns out to be a battle of worldviews, for as Mounce explains, he could never embrace philosophical materialism because his experience of reality demands something outside of "stuff"--he wants to know where the DNA of the very first living cell came from, and he dissects each quotation accordingly. By approaching each quotation from this supernaturalist point of view, Mounce's So They Say invites you to read, reflect, and enjoy the journey.
Book Synopsis The Gathering, A Womanist Church by : Irie Lynne Session
Download or read book The Gathering, A Womanist Church written by Irie Lynne Session and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-08-21 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A womanist church has great power to transform church and society, primarily because womanist theology centers the experiences of Black women while working for the survival and wholeness of all people and all creation. Experiences of the triple oppression of racism, sexism, and classism give Black women an epistemological insight into recognizing injustice and creating solutions that benefit all. The Gathering is unique, the only church founded and identified as "womanist," applying womanist theology to the full life and worship of a church. The Gathering, a womanist faith community in Dallas, Texas, welcomes all people to partner in pursuing racial equity, LGBTQ equality, and dismantling PMS (patriarchy, misogyny, and sexism), following Jesus in liberating the oppressed and lifting up the marginalized. The Gathering, A Womanist Church tells the story of the birth and ongoing development of a womanist faith community. This book includes personal narratives of people transformed in this community, womanist co-pastors' sermons informed by their experiences and those of other Black women, and litanies for womanist worship.
