From Dry Bones to Living Hope by Missy Buchanan Pdf

Though the shadow side of aging is a reality, author Missy Buchanan brings spiritual light and nourishment to people in the later years of life. Older adults struggle with chronic pain and diminished physical abilities. They contend with losses that pile up like the dry bones in the prophet Ezekiel's vision—the loss of loved ones and friends, the loss of their home and belongings, the loss of independence, and the loss of purpose. In a culture that values youth more than age, older adults often feel forgotten and without purpose. Each chapter of From Dry Bones to Living Hope opens with an intimate, prayerful lament to God from the perspective of the older adult who longs for spiritual renewal and purpose. The authentic voice of lament establishes credibility with older readers who yearn for others to empathize with their struggles. The second part of each chapter, "Cultivating Hope," guides them to God's perspective on aging and specific actions they can take that lead to hope and joy.

There may have come a time in your life when you feel like you have lost your zest for life. Because of all the hell and high water that you’ve been through it may seem as if you have lost your joy, your peace, you desire to go on. It’s very easy to fall apart because of all you have been through. But today is a new day. Take encouragement also from the vision of the valley of dry bones. Jerusalem was totally annihilated and there was nothing left but dead bodies all over the city. The city was destroyed and everybody in it was killed. Now there was desolation, hopelessness. Materially it looked impossible to rebuild, everything and everyone was destroyed. But if you know God like I have gotten to know Him then you know God can do anything but fail. God works best in situations where the human hand cannot. . He is with you in every battle I fight. He uses trials and tribulations in situations and circumstances to bring about triumph and victory in the life of the believer. God Gives Us A Spirit Of Strength And Power. Through faith in Christ we are given a spirit of power, love and discipline, and for that reason we have nothing to fear. We can hold onto his promises and be confident that he’ll see us through even the darkest of days. You will be countlessly blessed. You will be prodigious in your wealth. You will be boundless an unlimited in your health and any other areas that are dry in your life. Don't give up on God and He won't give up on you!

Living in The Story by Charlotte Vaughan Coyle Pdf

What kind of book is the Bible? Is it a rulebook or a guidebook for moral living? Is it a history book or a book filled with fascinating (and sometimes fantastic) stories? Did humans write the Bible or did God somehow speak a perfect message that the authors transcribed? Many people have asked these questions about the nature of this beautiful, odd, comforting, disturbing book the church calls its “Holy Scripture.” Charlotte Vaughan Coyle shares her own journey to make sense of the Bible in this read-through-the-Bible-in-a-year project. She discovered that the crucial work of asking hard questions and even arguing with the Bible revealed the Scriptures to be a symphony of polyphonic voices, a work of art that paints an alternative vision of reality, a complex novel-like story unavoidably embedded in its own culture and time, and yet able to give witness to the God beyond history who has acted (and continues to act) within history. With the heart of a pastor and the passion of a preacher, Rev. Coyle invites seekers and students (both churched and un-churched) to strap on their scuba gear and join her for a deeper dive beneath the surface of this immense, colorful, mysterious world of the Bible.

Can These Dry Bones Live? by Frances M. Young Pdf

Frances Young, who won high critical acclaim for her deeply committed book, Sacrifice and the Death of Christ, seeks to convey the excitement of the theological quest, the excitement of studying the Bible, the excitement of wrestling with what might seem outmoded and irrelevant ways of thinking and discovering that there is a chiming with experience. She offers a study of atonement as a demonstration of the possibilities. It stems from a deep preoccupation with suffering and its meaning, the outstretched arms of the crucified Christ, the image of the woman in travail. But this suffering and pain is the prelude to new birth, to vision and hope, to the feast of the kingdom. New birth and new creation, she sees, lie at the heart of the Christian message; and our own growth depends on the painful but rewarding labor of appropriating the Bible and our Christian heritage through critical reflection.

Dry Bones That Lived Again by Grace Munthali Pdf

This book brings to your attention the acts of God when, humanly speaking, all hope is gone. What makes God be God are his acts that are impossible in the eyes of man, and yet he does it anyway. You will come across ridiculous, hopeless, impossible, mind-blowing situations in which God manifested his power as you read this book. The author would like to bring you hope in your hopeless situation that there is Jehovah El-Shaddai who can bring back joy in your heart. Do not despair nor be discouraged, because Jesus is the author and finisher of your faith.

Living Hope by David H. Jensen Pdf

"Eschatology," the theological name for the study of the endtime, often conjures up frightening concepts of the rapture, the final judgment, heaven and hell, Armageddon, and the anti-Christ. Author David Jensen's theological approach offers a brighter perspective on the end-time as a time of hope when Christians will see the full glory of the Kingdom of God, the resurrection of the body, and Christ's promised return.
