This book was released on 2014-09-01 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world is rapidly dividing between those who take biblical narratives as the literal word of God -- claiming that they are historically and scientifically true --and those who dismiss those narratives as quaint or even foolish fairy tales. WHAT'S IN IT FOR ME invites the reader to discover a middle ground that takes biblical narratives seriously without regard to their historical or scientific truth. The "truth" of these stories has nothing to do with, "Did this really happen?" Their truth emerges in the valuable lessons these stories can teach all of us. As we walk the rich middle ground of biblical narrative, we shall keep one question constantly in mind: Where am I in the text? In other words what do these stories teach ME that can help me to be a more self aware, caring, and compassionate human being?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enjoy these SAMPLE pages from Tell Me a Story- Jesus called His followers witnesses. We are, in fact, witnesses to His unfolding story. This story is not only our calling-it's the next generation's best chance of identifying with the Church and changing the world. As we become storytellers, we learn to see the world in terms of stories being lived and told. We discover deeper insights into God, ourselves, and others. Through story we uncover a better framework for understanding abstract concepts such as purpose and conflict, as well as more concrete aspects of our lives such as work, technology, communication, and community. Story touches every part of our lives because it's the form factor of our lives-story is inside all of us, and we're all inside a story.

Book excerpt: Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.

Download or read book God's Favorite Place on Earth written by Frank Viola and published by David C Cook. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When He came to earth, Jesus Christ was rejected in every quarter in which He stepped. The Creator was rejected by His own creation. “He came to His own and His own received Him not,” said John. For this reason, Jesus Christ had “no where to lay His head.” There was one exception, however. A little village just outside of Jerusalem named Bethany. Bethany was the only place on earth where Jesus was completely received. God’s Favorite Place on Earth is a retelling of Jesus’ many visits to Bethany and a relaying of the message it holds for us today. Frank Viola presents a beautifully crafted narrative from the viewpoint of Lazarus, one of the people who lived in Bethany with his two sisters. This incomparable story not only brings the Gospel narratives to life, but it addresses the struggle against doubt, discouragement, fear, guilt, rejection, and spiritual apathy that challenges countless Christians today. In profoundly moving prose, God’s Favorite Place on Earth will captivate your heart with its beauty, charm, and depth. In this book you will discover how to live as a “Bethany” in our world today, being set free to love and follow Jesus like never before.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "God is a central focus and central force in my life, which is why so many of the essays in this book relate to the idea of God." Rabbi Stephen Lewis Fuchs Who Created God? It's something many of us wonder about at some point. Of course, there's no way to know for sure who created God, yet it is a question that Rabbi Stephen Fuchs ponders in, "Who Created God? and Other Essays." Through the writings that comprise this book, you will discover what happens when the rabbi invites Jesus into his Sukkah, his reaction to encountering his first swastika, and what Rabbi Fuchs feels is an intelligent response to terror. He also discusses Israel and describes its development since it became the homeland of the Jewish People in 1948. These are just a few of the engaging topics about which the rabbi shares his insights. You won't want to miss "The Jewish Marriage Ceremony" in which Rabbi Fuchs explains the rich symbolism and charming traditions involved when a Jewish couple gets married beneath a chuppah. At the end of the book, there is an exclusive and enlightening interview with Rabbi Fuchs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imploding relationships, incapacitating losses, injurious personal mistakes, or spiritual failures—whatever the issue, the wounds are the same. Whether it’s a lapse in judgment by Bathsheba or the moral failure of the women’s ministry leader in your local church; the spiritual insensitivity of Martha or the compulsive obsessions of your church’s care circle chairwoman; the terror of an abandoned single mother like Hagar or the struggling single mother in your prayer group—the time and circumstances are different, but the wounds are equally deep and spiritually devastating. Dena Dyer and Tina Samples get it. They have their own stories of pain before healing—along with similar experiences of their families and friends. Offering more than pat affirmations or vicarious shoulders to cry on, Dena and Tina delve deep into the shared emotions and injuries that women of all ages have in common—and move readers toward the recovery and healing that only God can provide. No matter what hurts you’ve experienced, Wounded Women of the Bible proves that God understands and that healing is not only His intention but His delight! This is a book not to be missed!

Book excerpt: Do you know what makes a story great? All the best stories have a few things in common. First, we need the voice of a narrator or a storyteller. Then, add interesting characters, throw them into a risky setting, and get ready for a good dose of conflict. Give those characters a purpose or goal, and that's then the real action begins. Story is our calling. It is also the next generation’s best chance of identifying with the Church and changing the world. As we become storytellers, we learn to see the world in terms of stories being lived and told. We discover deeper insights into God, ourselves, and others. God’s story is happening. We are right in the middle of a page-turner—and God is in it with us. Start seeing your life as a part of God’s story and make some great adventures happen right now!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why Triple Chai? Rabbi Stephen Fuchs' readers are even more curious as to what makes a rabbi tick! Since "Why the Kof? Getting the Best of Rabbi Fuchs" was such a hit, it seemed only natural to compile another anthology (fifty-four, to be exact) of Rabbi Fuchs' most illuminating and riveting essays (to date). Rabbi Fuchs reveals his formula for a happy and fulfilling marriage in "How I Stayed Married for Forty-Three Years." The answers just might surprise you! Check out the "Dedication" page for a sneak peek. On a serious note, the rabbi shares his memories of friends and congregants who have passed away and the meaningful legacies they left behind. In another direction, he explores an unexpected correlation between doo-wop and pop music and the Torah. You will find these in the "Falling Stars" chapter. Bonus: Thanks to the rabbi's wife Mrs. Victoria Steinberg Fuchs and her mother, artist Stefanie Steinberg, we are treated to a glimpse of life, travel, and anti-Semitism through a Jewish woman's lens. And of course, after reading this book, you too will know the answer to that enigmatic question, "Why Triple Chai?"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is spirituality anyway? Isn't spirituality about emotion? And isn't work about the rational mind? "Too often, we divorce our 'work life’ from our 'real life,’ from our innermost beliefs and convictions. But ‘work’ can be as much a part of our life—and as much a vehicle for spiritual growth and personal understanding—as going to synagogue or church on Saturday or Sunday or taking a walk in the woods or reading quietly to our kids at bedtime. In fact work may be among the most potent vehicles for fulfilling our spiritual life because, for many of us, it presents the best opportunities to meld community and social and economic productivity with personal belief and individual talent." —from the Introduction by Norman Lear Being God’s Partner will help people of every faith reconcile the cares of their work and the strivings of their souls—and restore the hidden link between them. By exploding our assumptions that work and spirituality are irreconcilable, Salkin explores how spirituality can enhance our 9-to-5 lives. "It is time to be as rich internally as we are externally," he writes, offering soul-stirring ways to “smuggle religion” into our workplace. Thought-provoking, practical and exhilarating, Being God’s Partner goes beyond just talking about the subject to give you specific actions to take and connections to make—right now—to help infuse our lives with greater meaning, purpose and satisfaction—and invigorate all that we do.
