Dramatic Encounters in the Bible by M. E. Andrew Pdf

This book began when the author realised that, when people said they were fascinated by particular biblical passages, they were usually ones that presented dramatic encounters between people and between God and people. Such are the passages interpreted in this book. They usually set a vivid scene that heightens the dramatic nature of the encounter, and animated dialogue often directly ad- dresses the reader. There is also animated action that is vividly striking and often sudden and unexpected. These features involve the readers themselves and may question them about what they expect. Indeed the dramatic encounters provocatively lead to unex- pected new life in the future.

DRAMATIC ENCOUNTERS by Willie L. Green Pdf

This book explores a series of Dramatic Encounters, from the Gospel of St. John where a variety of persons come into contact with the Lord Jesus, and these contacts have a profound impact on their lives. Webster defines drama as: A poem or composition representing a picture of human life, and accommodated to action. These human characters come from divers backgrounds, with a variety of issues and hang-ups, but one thing they all have in common, when they encounter the Savior, the status quo of their lives is severely interrupted. The hidden recesses of their hearts are exposed to the light of day and the power of His presence always produces a response. It is impossible to be in the presence of Christ without being affected by Him.

Gripped by the Greatness of God by James MacDonald Pdf

When was the last time you were really and truly gripped by God's greatness? Most Christians recall heartfelt resolutions around a fire at bible camp as children, and perhaps a revival meeting or two. But what causes the fervor of those experiences to translate into a consistent life pattern? Pastor and author James MacDonald believes that the better we understand God, the better we understand ourselves, and the less likely we are to favor our own will over God's. He writes:'God is not safe and He will not be squeezed into some neat, respectable Sunday discussion..No. To Know God at all is to watch Him explode any box we put Him in with His terror, majesty and indescribable wonder.'Expounding upon Isaiah's encounters with God, MacDonald prods snoozing saints to rediscover the wonder of God's attributes. He also shares candidly from his experiences in life and ministry where God proved Himself to be the Great I AM. This book will spur new and seasoned believers alike to detest mediocrity in their spiritual walks. Ideal for individual or small group study.

Bible Matters by Tim Chester Pdf

The Bible is God's Word. The Bible teaches us how we should live. The Bible is something we should read every day. The Bible is something we should enjoy reading. Most of us agree with these statements. At least in theory. But what's our reality? Sometimes reading the Bible is a delight. But if we’re honest, many times reading the Bible feels like hard work and we read out of a sense of obligation. Some of us have given up entirely. Tim Chester reminds us that every time we read the Bible we hear the voice of God. The One who spoke and brought the universe into existence, whose voice thundered from Mount Sinai, and whose words healed the sick is who speaks to us today. So as we read the Bible we don’t merely learn information about God—we hear his voice and encounter his presence. Including a study guide for group use, this book helps us approach reading the Bible with an eager anticipation, expecting to hear God’s voice and meet him in his Word.

REASON MEETS FAITH by Edward D. Andrews Pdf

"Reason Meets Faith: Addressing and Refuting Atheism's Challenges to Christianity" is a profound and comprehensive exploration into the complex relationship between faith, reason, and skepticism. This book is designed to engage readers in a thought-provoking dialogue concerning the tensions and harmonies that exist between the Christian faith and the questions raised by atheism and secular thinking. With a methodical approach, the book delves into twenty-one key challenges posed by critics and skeptics. These range from empirical evidence, the problem of evil, the interpretation of scripture, to moral issues, and the influence of secular philosophy. Each challenge is meticulously examined from both the skeptic's perspective and the Christian viewpoint, providing a balanced and insightful analysis. The Christian responses are not simply dismissive rebuttals. Instead, they engage deeply with the questions, offering carefully reasoned arguments supported by a wealth of biblical, historical, and philosophical evidence. The result is a robust defense of Christianity that appreciates the role of reason in faith. This book is an essential read for anyone grappling with the big questions of life, the nature of faith, and the challenges of skepticism. Whether you're a Christian seeking to deepen your faith, a skeptic on a quest for truth, or an observer intrigued by this age-old debate, "Reason Meets Faith" is an enlightening and intellectually stimulating guide. It will challenge you, inspire you, and invite you to see the Christian faith in a new light - a light cast by reason, honed by inquiry, and ultimately pointing towards the truth.

Reading the Bible with Giants by David Paul Parris Pdf

Many readers of the Bible believe that interpreting the Scriptures well simply involves a two-way dialogue between themselves and the text. Implied in this view is the idea that we can simply jump over two thousand years of biblical interpretation. However, if we believe that God has been speaking through the Bible to devout believers throughout history it would seem that we should find a way to identify the insights they perceived in the text so that we can learn to read these sacred texts with them. Drawing on resources from Reception Theory, the goal of Reading the Bible with the Giants is to enable the contemporary reader to interpret the Bible in dialogue with those who have gone before us.
