A Pair of Miracles by Karla Akins Pdf

"A parent's gripping journey of awareness, acceptance, and appreciation of her two boys dealing with significant challenges brought on by autism." --Stephen Mark Shore, EdD When Karla Akins hoped that her autistic sons could learn to read and function independently, doctors warned her that those expectations would never be met. She set out to prove that, despite those warnings, all things are possible through God. Laced with humor and compassion, A Pair of Miracles is the heartwarming story of her journey rearing adopted twin sons, each diagnosed with autism and fetal alcohol disorder. This is more than a moving biography from a mom on the front lines, however. It is a powerful tool, full of practical help for parents, educators, and church members working with children who have intellectual disabilities, speech impairments, and other limitations on the autism spectrum. It is also a challenge to the church to welcome and celebrate all the members of their congregation, no matter their abilities. Thanks to Karla's determination, faith, and unconditional love--and contrary to the doctors' predictions--her adult twins are now able to function independently in many ways. They help their dad install pools, do carpentry work, and serve in the church as ushers, sound engineers, and children's ministry workers. For parents seeking hope, answers, and peace, Karla leads the way to all three down a path she's already been.

Miracles: A Very Short Introduction by Yujin Nagasawa Pdf

Jesus turned water into wine, Mohammad split the moon into two, and Buddha walked and spoke immediately upon birth. According to recent statistics, even in the present age of advanced science and technology, most people believe in miracles. In fact, newspapers and television regularly report alleged miracles, such as recoveries from incurable diseases, extremely unlikely coincidences, and religious signs and messages on unexpected objects. In this book the award-winning author and philosopher Yujin Nagasawa addresses some of our most fundamental questions concerning miracles. What exactly is a miracle? What types of miracles are believed in the world's great religions? What do recent scientific findings tell us about miracles? Can we rationally believe that miracles have really taken place? Can there be acts that are more religiously significant than miracles? Drawing on a vast variety of fascinating examples from across the major religions, Nagasawa discusses the lively debate on miracles that ranges from reported miracles in ancient scriptures in the East and West to cutting-edge scientific research on belief formation. Throughout, he drives us to ask ourselves if and how we can still believe in in miracles in the twenty-first century. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

The Jewish Context of Jesus' Miracles by Eric Eve Pdf

Scholarly literature on Jesus has often attempted to relate his miracles to their Jewish context, but that context has not been surveyed in its own right. This volume fills that gap by examining both the ideas on miracle in Second Temple literature (including Josephus, Philo, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha) and the evidence for contemporary Jewish miracle workers. The penultimate chapter explores insights from cultural anthropology to round out the picture obtained from the literary evidence, and the study concludes that Jesus is distinctive as a miracle-worker in his Jewish context while nevertheless fitting into it.

Miracles on the Wall by Debbie Kinner Pdf

Jasmin struggles to overcome tumultuous storms filled with seasons of bitterness, death, sickness, disappointment, and heartache. She is consumed by an unexplainable, unidentifiable emptiness from wanting to have a mom and dad like her friends and longing to be under the same roof as her brothers. All of Jasmins friends had moms to shop with and dads who were their heroes and biggest fans. What made her different? Why did God single her out? Maybe her psychologist was right and she needed to read the diaries her brothers kept, locking away family secrets. All she had to do was unlock the diaries, and read. Could acquainting herself with the past be a good thing? Would she find herself? Her psychologist thought she should read the diaries in his presence and that she was a fragile egg about to crack. She was not. She knew her own strength. She could do this, and she could do it alone. She was not a little girl anymore. When no one was looking, she turned into a bright, strong, mature, independent woman. She wonders if the void in her heart would be the same if her parents had lived. Is the death of her parents the only missing link? One person can help her. Can she trust him? Will she forego the bitterness she clings to, or will she protect herself behind her thick, secure, Jericho walls?

The Gospels Behind the Gospels by Robert M. Price Pdf

What if we have been missing a whole stage of how the canonical gospels came to be? What if there were a whole raft of prior Jesus narratives, whether written or oral, the fragmentary vestiges of which now appear in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? This would explain why these gospels seem over-crowded with incompatible understandings of Jesus ("Christologies")? In The Gospels Behind the Gospels, innovative biblical scholar Robert M. Price attempts to reassemble the puzzle pieces, disclosing several earlier gospels of communities who imagined Jesus as the predicted return of the prophet Elijah, the Samaritan Taheb (a second Moses), a resurrected John the Baptist, a theophany of Yahweh, a Gnostic Revealer, a Zealot revolutionary, etc. As these various sects shrank and collapsed, their remaining followers would have come together, just as modern churches and denominations seek to survive by merging and consolidating. Our canonical gospels might be the result. Similarly, Price explores the possibility that Paul, Apollos, Cephas, and Christ (listed as if on a par in 1 Corinthians 1:12) were originally figureheads of rival sects who eventually merged in much the same way. You will never read the gospels the same way again!

The Court of Miracles by Kester Grant Pdf

Les Misérables meets Six of Crows in this page-turning adventure as a young thief finds herself going head to head with leaders of Paris's criminal underground in the wake of the French Revolution. In the violent urban jungle of an alternate 1828 Paris, the French Revolution has failed and the city is divided between merciless royalty and nine underworld criminal guilds, known as the Court of Miracles. Eponine (Nina) Thénardier is a talented cat burglar and member of the Thieves Guild. Nina's life is midnight robberies, avoiding her father's fists, and watching over her naïve adopted sister, Cosette (Ettie). When Ettie attracts the eye of the Tiger--the ruthless lord of the Guild of Flesh--Nina is caught in a desperate race to keep the younger girl safe. Her vow takes her from the city's dark underbelly to the glittering court of Louis XVII. And it also forces Nina to make a terrible choice--protect Ettie and set off a brutal war between the guilds, or forever lose her sister to the Tiger.

Miracles by Roger Kronqvist Pdf

Let me make one thing perfectly clear. I am an ordinary man who has spent extraordinary time in prayer, and accordingly, God have given me extraordinary answers to prayers, signs, wonders, visions, miracles, healings, and encounters with God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and angels. Appointed and anointed by God, and by his grace, and mercy, his awesome power, and my love for Jesus, and by yielding to the Holy Spirit, I was endowed with spiritual gifts for a special purposeto do certain things, not everything. My singleness of purpose is to glorify Gods name in all the earth until Jesus comes. To God is the glory forever! In February 28, 2000, our Sovereign God called me to the Intercessory Prayer Ministry. I was called to stand as a minister at his altar and to stand in between heaven and earth and pray and ask for mercy for his people. To pray for the nations, for soldiers on the battlefield, for the suffering children, youth in crisis, senior citizens, and other people in distress in our community, and to pray for world leaders, politicians, and pastors.
