Deborah and Barak by Trudy J. Morgan-Cole Pdf

In this biblical narrative, the author expands on a story that the Bible only devotes two chapters to in the book of Judges. She weaves together a story as socially and historically accurate as possible. Her use of words and vibrant characters give readers a sense of what it could have been like to be a prophetess in Old Testament Israel. The prophet, Deborah . . . The title hangs on her like a weight, heavy as a sword at her side. High position and great responsibility carry a price'the price of loneliness. Her mind ranges far back over the years to her first meeting with Barak, the man who tomorrow would be loosed on the enemies of God like an arrow from the bow. Barak, Yahweh's chosen warrior . . . He is weary, and no longer young. He has spent his whole life fighting Jabin of Hazor and his fearsome war chief, Sisera. True, the Israelites occupy the higher ground, but they are so few compared to Sisera's thousands, and their weapons so weak next to Sisera's spearheads and chariots of iron. How can God's army defeat Sisera's when even their commander cannot hold firmly to his faith?

When You Love a Prodigal by Judy Douglass Pdf

Loving a prodigal is a long and desperate journey, filled with fear, worry, anger, self- recrimination. You wait for the phone call--will it be from jail or the hospital? You plead with your loved one. You search for help. You feel the shame. You cry out to God, "How long, Lord?" Author Judy Douglass knows these lovers of prodigals well. She is one herself and has created a large and growing community with others. When You Love a Prodigal is a collection of 90 essays--90 days of perspective on what God offers to you as you love your prodigal. At the end of each brief essay, response questions will help you process how God intends to use the wilderness journey to mold your spiritual life. You can work through it day by day, or you can read it straight through. Judy has traveled this road with her own prodigal--reading, learning, praying, and seeking God. Over and over he continued to give her wisdom, he sustained her, he covered her with grace, and he filled her with hope. May you, too, be strengthened and filled with hope as together you discover how God will take you through your own valley.

Deborah, Judge, Prophetess and Seer by Carole M. Lunde Pdf

Judges 4:4 Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth was judging Israel at that time. She used to sit under the palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim; and the people of Israel came up to her for judgment. This is the extent of what we know about Deborah before the battle with Sisera. Judges 5 is a poetic rewrite of Judges 4 with the added story of Siseras mother who waits in the window of her palace for her son to come home. The woman waiting in the window is a motif used in many writings to indicate a woman of great power. Here are two powerful women whose stories are so brief as written, but beg for a larger look at their lives. Biblical fiction is a wonderful way to flesh out their stories leading up to Judges 4 and 5. How did Deborah grow up? How did Barak grow up? Deborah was in Ephraim and Barak in Kadesh-Napthali, some sixty miles apart. How did they know each other? How did Deborah learn of scriptures and battle plans in a society where neither of these areas were open to women?

Judges and Method by Gale A. Yee Pdf

Many scholars in Bible are interpreting the biblical text from newer interdisciplinary approaches. These disciplines, such as modern literary theory, sociology, and anthropology, have their own technical vocabulary, presuppositions, questions, and methodologies, which a biblical scholar must learn in order to appropriate these approaches for study of the biblical text. This book will introduce the student and the interested teacher to these new approaches, providing bibliography for further study in the method. Moreover, this book will actually apply the method to a particular text in the Book of Judges, so that the reader may see the method "in action."
