Devotions and Desires by Gillian A. Frank,Bethany Moreton,Heather R. White Pdf

At a moment when "freedom of religion" rhetoric fuels public debate, it is easy to assume that sex and religion have faced each other in pitched battle throughout modern U.S. history. Yet, by tracking the nation's changing religious and sexual landscapes over the twentieth century, this book challenges that zero-sum account of sexuality locked in a struggle with religion. It shows that religion played a central role in the history of sexuality in the United States, shaping sexual politics, communities, and identities. At the same time, sexuality has left lipstick traces on American religious history. From polyamory to pornography, from birth control to the AIDS epidemic, this book follows religious faiths and practices across a range of sacred spaces: rabbinical seminaries, African American missions, Catholic schools, pagan communes, the YWCA, and much more. What emerges is the shared story of religion and sexuality and how both became wedded to American culture and politics. The volume, framed by a provocative introduction by Gillian Frank, Bethany Moreton, and Heather R. White and a compelling afterword by John D'Emilio, features essays by Rebecca T. Alpert and Jacob J. Staub, Rebecca L. Davis, Lynne Gerber, Andrea R. Jain, Kathi Kern, Rachel Kranson, James P. McCartin, Samira K. Mehta, Daniel Rivers, Whitney Strub, Aiko Takeuchi-Demirci, Judith Weisenfeld, and Neil J. Young.

Catholic Cults and Devotions by Michael P. Carroll Pdf

Imagine a heart which has been ripped from a man's body, wrapped with thorns, pierced with a knife, and then placed on the man's chest; or a group of people who believe that wearing a small rectangle of wool next to their skin ensures that they will go to heaven - as long as it is brown wool and worn continuously. Although psychoanalysts have long investigated similar ideas and beliefs, they have ignored popular Catholicism, even though behaviour such as this occurs over and over again in the history of Catholic cults and devotions.

Devotions to Make You Stronger by Ed Strauss Pdf

“Strong” often means physical strength and a powerful presence … but according to the Bible, being a mighty man means learning to listen, speak up, and do the right thing even when it’s hard. In Devotions to Make You Stronger, ninety days of quick, short, easy-to-read and boy-friendly devotions help young guys 8 and up discover the strong person God made them to be inside and out, and how they can grow up to be powerful in the ways that count no matter their physical appearance. David was part of a group of mighty men. Samson could lift heavy doors and defeat entire armies with a jawbone. Joshua led an entire nation in battles against the giants and warriors of Canaan and won. But those impressive feats aren’t what actually made them “strong.” In fact, those things aren’t even what made them heroes. What really made them strong and able to take on anything was the stuff happening inside their hearts. The good news? You can be just as strong and amazing by following their good habits—and avoiding their mistakes. Each of the ninety devotions in this book take a few minutes to read (some are even funny!) and explore the entire Bible to show you the secrets to building your brain muscles and making your body healthier so you are ready for any challenge. Plus, every devotion shows exactly how the Bible applies to you, so you can confidently go out and do powerful things no matter what you face. Devotions to Make Your Stronger: has devotions that can be read in under five minutes, making time with God and exploring the Bible easy to do contains age-appropriate, biblically sound information in words meant to appeal to boys 8 to 12 and their interests contains large text and an open page design, making it perfect for reluctant readers is part of a series of 90-day devotionals for boys that includes Devotions to Make You Smarter and Devotions to Make You Deeper

A Cup of Tea and Devotions by Beverly Davis Pdf

“A Cup of Tea and Devotions” Why was I inspired to create this devotional? I wrote this journal simply because I, myself, needed to be encouraged. Like so many others, I needed to know that in my most darkness times, God is there, in most fearful moments, God is carrying me and guiding me alone all life’s obstacles. Besides, my own tribulations, I have always had a passion in writing, inspiring and encouraging other women to become the best version of themselves. You will see that in this book, I have chosen scriptures that God has placed personally on my heart that have instrumentally changed and has shaped the course my life. These are some inspired verses that I meditate on often when I need an uplift. I hope that the same verses that encourage me will also motivate and empower you in your journey with the Lord. I pray this will strengthen you and propel you to grow deeper in your Faith while reading, journaling, and learning all about God’s love, grace, and mercy. No matter what we may face, know, and believe that He loves you immensely and that he will never leave nor forsake you! And, perhaps to, while going through this journal, you may even be interested in learning about all the different herbal teas you can drink and their benefits in this book. “Let your roots grow down into him, and let lives be built on him. Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness! (Colossians 2:7)

Daily Devotions for Destiny by Shirley McCleskey Pdf

“The graveyard is the richest place on earth.” This quote from Les Brown resonated in my spirit for many years. As I grew up, I learned what it meant. Too often, people pass on to eternity without ever knowing the reason that they were placed on earth in the first place. All their gifts, talents, and treasures that God placed in them goes to the graveyard with them. For the next 365 days, we will learn how to use our God-given tools to not only discover our destiny but also to walk it out. Please join me on my journey to break this cycle and make sure that leaving this earth without fulfilling our destiny will not be our legacy.

Made to Crave Devotional by Lysa TerKeurst Pdf

Most of us know “how to” get healthy. Where things often fall apart is with our “want to.” In Lysa TerKeurst’s book Made to Crave, she helps women find the missing link between our desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen. But when French fries are so close and God feels so far away, we need more than nineteen chapters to stay motivated and on track. That’s why Lysa wrote this daily devotional with sixty inspirational entries. There is plenty of new material not in the original book, as well as your favorite nuggets of wisdom from Made to Crave. In this devotional you will find: A daily opening Scripture Thought for the Day Devotion Closing prayer Just like the Made to Crave book, this Made to Crave Devotional is not a how-to-get-healthy book. It is the road to finding the lasting “want to” that extends far beyond the surface issues of weighing less and wanting to wear a smaller clothes size. There’s a spiritual battle going on. It’s real. And it’s amazing how perfectly the Bible gives us specific ways to find victory over our food struggles. Even for girls who don’t crave carrots.

There Is More by Brian Houston Pdf

Founder and Global Senior Pastor of Hillsong Church and author of LIVE LOVE LEAD shows how, with God's power, you can believe and achieve a life that exceeds every earthly expectation. When you surrender control and follow God's guidance, you become empowered and equipped to do the impossible, reach higher, and go further than you could have ever imagined--giving Him all the glory. By building our lives around godly principles, surrounding ourselves with wisdom, and living for a cause greater than ourselves, we can effectively live out God's purposes and have an enduring impact. As Brian Houston has personally discovered, when we depend on Jesus as the source for our identity, our lives can be a lasting legacy that maximize the gifts He has given each of us as unique individuals. There is More is for anyone who wants to be challenged to live with expectancy. Ephesians 3 is a call to release the immeasurable potential within you and the exceeding, abundant, and above plans and purposes of a Holy God that are beyond your greatest imagination. "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen" (Ephesians 3:20-21).
