American Bible Society Messages from God by American Bible Society Pdf

Most people see the Bible as a collection of short stories, but it is much, much more:? We know that the wise men came to visit Jesus, but what was the meaning behind their visit?? We've heard that Jesus calmed a storm, but what does that story really reveal?? We know the story of Joseph and his amazing, colorful coat-but what is the underlying message of his story?? We've read of Jonah being swallowed by a whale, but what hidden meaning swims underneath the surface of this familiar story?Yes, the Bible contains some great stories, but it is not a storybook. Every story in the Bible has a deeper meaning and message that is hidden to many. Messages from God helps you decode and discover deeper meaning behind the classic stories you've grown up hearing. And just when most readers think they've got the Bible figured out, they will be surprised to find that each Bible story contributes to a singular storyline that the original writers of the Bible wanted you to discover for yourself: The message and mission of God.

The Comforting Whirlwind by Bill McKibben Pdf

In The Comforting Whirlwind, acclaimed environmentalist and writer Bill McKibben turns to the biblical book of Job and its awesome depiction of creation to demonstrate our need to embrace a bold new paradigm for living if we hope to reverse the current trend of ecological destruction. With reference to the consequences of our poorly considered and self-centered environmental practices—global warming, ozone degradation, deforestation—McKibben combines modern science and timeless biblical wisdom to make the case that growth and economic progress are not only undesirable but deadly. If we continue to accelerate the pace of development, we will inevitably complete the “decreation” of our planet and everything on it, including ourselves. In his signature lyrical prose, and using Stephen Mitchell's powerful translation of Job, McKibben calls readers to truly appreciate both the majesty of creation and humanity's rightful—and responsible—place in it.

Disunity in Christ by Christena Cleveland Pdf

Leadership Journal Book Award Readers' Choice Awards Honorable Mention Despite Jesus' prayer that all Christians "be one," divisions have been epidemic in the body of Christ from the beginning to the present. We cluster in theological groups, gender groups, age groups, ethnic groups, educational and economic groups. We criticize freely those who disagree with us, don't look like us, don't act like us and don't even like what we like. Though we may think we know why this happens, Christena Cleveland says we probably don't. In this eye-opening book, learn the hidden reasons behind conflict and divisions. Learn: Why I think all my friends are unique but those in other groups are all the same Why little differences often become big sources of conflict Why categorizing others is often automatic and helpful but can also have sinister side effects Why we are so often victims of groupthink and how we can avoid it Why women think men are judging them more negatively than men actually are, and vice versa Why choices of language can actually affect unity With a personal touch and the trained eye of a social psychologist, Cleveland brings to bear the latest studies and research on the unseen dynamics at work that tend to separate us from others. Learn why Christians who have a heart for unity have such a hard time actually uniting. The author provides real insight for ministry leaders who have attempted to build bridges across boundaries. Here are the tools we need to understand how we can overcome the hidden forces that divide us.

The Bible Cause by John Fea Pdf

Endorsed in its time by Francis Scott Key, John Jay, and Theodore Roosevelt, the American Bible Society (ABS) is a seminal institution for American Protestants. The group was founded in 1816 with the goal of distributing free copies of the Bible in local languages throughout the world. Today, the ABS is a Christian ministry based in Philadelphia with a $300 million endowment and a mission to engage 100 million Americans with the Bible by 2025. In The Bible Cause, noted historian of American religion John Fea demonstrates how the ABS's primary mission - to place the Bible in the hands of as many people as possible - has caused the history of the organization to intersect at nearly every point with the history of the United States. For the last two hundred years, the ABS has steadily increased its influence both at home and abroad, working with all Christian denominations in the US and internationally, aligning itself whenever possible with the gatekeepers of American religious culture. Over the years ABS Bibles could be found in hotel rooms, bookstores, and airports; on steam boats, college and university campuses; the Internet; and even behind the Iron Curtain. Its agents, Bibles in hand, could be found on the front lines of every American military conflict from the Mexican-American War to the Iraq War. However and wherever the United States developed, the ABS was there. Throughout the last two centuries ABS has never wavered in its mission, and its commitment to be the guardian of a Christian civilization has been proven many times over.

God Is Our Shelter and Strength by Canadian Bible Society Pdf

The Bible is an unusual book in so many ways. The Scriptures have sometimes been described as an instruction book for life, and they do indeed provide important wisdom and guidance from our Creator about the best way to live fulfilling and happy lives. But while most instructions booklets and self-help guides presume quite a bit from those who read them, the Bible speaks to us exactly where we are, with a striking realism about how difficult life so often is. It speaks to the hurting, the broken and those who have little apparent hope. It’s stories, promises and advice were not meant for the wealthy and educated who have it all together and feel like they are on top of the world. Many of the words of comfort it contains are spoken by individuals who met with loss, calamity and heartache themselves – and surprisingly, they often speak these insightful words from the midst of their greatest trouble. You may well recognize your own circumstances as you read about theirs, and as you do, we pray that the comfort they found in God would also be an encouragement to you. Many of the passages from the Scriptures we have included in this booklet will sound familiar because they have helped so many others before you and have often been quoted, alluded to in great literature and sometimes even made into song. We pray that in your life now, they may point the way to a better path ahead.

Made to Lead by Nicole Massie Martin Pdf

Women were made to lead. Even in church. Jesus affirmed women as leaders-many contend Mary Magdalene was the first female minister. Yet women in ministry face challenges and obstacles, both from churches and from their own self-doubts. Both men and women miss out when women don't lead. Made to Lead empowers you to live out your calling boldly and confidently. Draw closer to God with relevant biblical examples and heart-felt prayers. Break down stereotypes of women in leadership. And create your own successful reality in which you are a key part of God's holy community.
