A Rich Young Man by John Edward Beahn Pdf

St. Anthony of Padua has been a friend to millions of Catholics asking his help to recover lost objects. But few seem to know much about his remarkable life. The son of a knight in the court of Portugal's king, he renounced his heritage of wealth and power to become a Franciscan priest. In the years to come, he earned international fame as a preacher, reformer, miracle worker, champion of the poor, and Doctor of the Church. A generation ago, the American Catholic novelist John Edward Beahn presented Anthony's life and legends in a biographical novel, A Rich Young Man: A Novel Based on the Life of St. Anthony of Padua, published in 1953. This imaginative re-telling of the saint's story, based on historical records and traditions, now comes to life again in the TAN Legend series of biographical fiction. The tale unfolds in the epic setting of medieval Europe of the thirteenth century. Monarchs, courtiers, churchmen, knights, nobles and serfs maneuver like chess pieces in an elaborate game of alliances and conflicts between Church and state, Christian and Muslim, Catholic and heretic. Anthony's story takes us from North Africa where divine providence saved the young friar from his mistaken zeal for martyrdom to Italy and France, where his extraordinary gifts and heroic passion for God blazed a path to the rescue and conversion of countless souls. This TAN Legend edition of A Rich Young Man: A Novel Based on the Life of St. Anthony of Padua paints a rich, fascinating portrait of an astonishing saint who turned the medieval Christian world upside down.

God's Passion for His Glory by John Piper Pdf

In his essay The End for Which God Created the World, the great theologian Jonathan Edwards proclaimed that God's ultimate end is the manifestation of his glory in the highest happiness of his creatures. Pastor John Piper has devoted his years of ministry to exploring the implications of this stunning truth for life and ministry. Understanding that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him has made all the difference for John Piper-and can transform your life as well. Here Piper passionately demonstrates the relevance of Edwards's ideals for the personal and public lives of Christians today through his own book-length introduction to Edwards's The End for Which God Created the World. This book also contains the complete essay supplemented by almost a hundred of Piper's insightful explanatory notes. The result is a powerful and persuasive presentation of the things that matter most in the Christian life.

A Rich Young Man by John E Beahn Pdf

Partly fictional, but nonetheless realistic is this fascinating new story about St. Anthony of Padua, based on the colorful history and traditions that have perpetuated his memory.Here the pageantry of Medieval Europe in the era of Saracen invasions, of clashes between monarch and Church, heresy, knighthood, and serfdom forms a romantic background for the life of a proud young Portuguese nobleman who renounced his rightful heritage of wealth and power to become a humble Franciscan friar. With imaginative force and skill, the author portrays a vital, human St. Anthony, dedicated to the fulfillment of his priesthood, gifted as preacher, heroic as a man, important as a saint much more for the example of his life than for his influence in restoring lost articles. The book follows the youthful Friar Antonio to Africa in his mistaken zeal for martyrdom and then to Italy where he is destined to perform his greatest work and to attain fame as a preacher. At Rimini, center of a heresy against the doctrine of the True Presence, Antonio scores his first victory over the heretic leader Bononillo by accepting a taunting challenge that results in the miraculous conversion of the whole populace.Accompanied by Ruggiero, the towering lay Brother who remains his loyal companion throughout the story, Antonio meets with further success in other parts of Italy and in France. The miracles he performs, the throngs he converts, the ordeals he faces both as a man and a priest, the struggles he encounters in trying to preserve the true spirit of Franciscanism after the death of its founder, and the joys he experiences in doing the will of God-these are some of the episodes that make "A Rich Young Man" a book of sustained interest and high inspiration.

Theology of the Prophetic Books by Donald E. Gowan Pdf

Donald Gowan offers a unified reading of the prophetic books, showing that each has a distinctive contribution to make to a central theme. These books--Isaiah through Malachi--respond to three key moments in Israel's history: the end of the Northern Kingdom in 722 BCE, the end of the Southern Kingdom in 587 BCE, and the beginning of the restoration from the Babylonian exile in 538 BCE. Gowan traces the theme of death and resurrection throughout these accounts, finding a symbolic message of particular significance to Christian interpreters of the Bible.

Unlikely Fighter by Greg Stier Pdf

Some memories are permanently seared into our childhood brains with a hot iron of adrenaline and fear. For five-year-old Greg, it was the memory of his ma walking back to the house after confronting his stepdad with a splintered, bloodied baseball bat in her hand. Greg Stier was raised in a family of bodybuilding, tobacco-chewing, fist-fighting thugs. He never knew his biological father because his mom had met his dad at a party; she got pregnant, and he left town. Though his mom almost aborted him, in a last-minute twist, Greg’s life was spared for so much more. Unlikely Fighter is the incredible story of how God showed up in Greg’s life—and how he can show up in yours as well. This is a memoir of violence and mayhem—and how God can transform everything.

The James Code by O. S. Hawkins Pdf

The James Code helps believers go from knowing about God to living for God. Bestselling author of The Joshua Code and The Jesus Code, O.S. Hawkins is back with a new book that is all about putting your faith into action. The James Code is practical, personal and action-packed straight from one of the most popular books of the Bible. Once readers have devoted themselves to Scripture memory in The Joshua Code, and have equipped themselves to give answers in The Jesus Code, The James Code challenges readers to give feet to their faith. Hawkins gives applicable truth from the book of James emphasizing that an effective Christian life is not about faith and works, but is about faith that works. As with The Joshua Code and The Jesus Code, all royalties will go to Mission:Dignity, whose mission supports retired pastors and their wives or widows who have faithfully served God’s people and now find themselves struggling to meet even basic needs.
