God Is Not a Boy’s Name by Lyn Brakeman Pdf

Lyn Brakeman was among the first women to enter the ordination process in the Episcopal Church just after the General Convention voted in 1976 that women could be priests. The bishop of her diocese had voted against ordaining women priests and hospitality towards female aspirants was guarded at best. So why would a forty-year-old institutional naif, suburban housewife, and mother of four enter such unfriendly territory to seek priestly ordination at a time when her personal life was in chaos? Things would have been easier had she been a man and had she not read Betty Friedan, not been headed for divorce, and not engaged in sins beginning with "a." How did she manage to stay this course? Brakeman offers no easy answers but tackles difficult issues--addiction, death and grief, divorce, the nature of priesthood, church politics, Christian feminism, and Jesus the Christ--with candor. Her story is held together by her spiritual connection to the voice of God from within and her growing conviction that the nature of divinity is gender-free; hence, theological language in sanctuary and classroom must reflect this truth in a balanced way.

Me, My Boys and God by Dwight R Moss Pdf

Loneliness is a good time for prayerful reflection. Is your life journey bringing you closer to the desires of your heart? Worry! A depressing waste of time! Visualizing a safe place and what that looks like. On a cloudy day do something profitable to bring on the sunshine! Know who you are. Then adjust your life to reveal the hidden desires of your heart. The little child heart! Allow a small child to teach you who you are as they mimic you. When life sometimes feels like a merry-go-round, jump off. Seek balance of body, mind and spirit. When you become out of balance, your team (body, mind, spirit) cannot function at its best. Living in the power of God’s love can bring you into a new and powerful balance. When your life has become an annexation into God’s eternal empire, you know that you now live in the realm of eternity. The book reveals a love triangle with the author, three boys and a woman and the Holy Spirit. It’s a beautiful love affair. Venturing with the love of your life into hidden waterfalls and into the passion of your heart is delightful! An old man and three boys (one in diapers) on a two-hundred-mile ski trip. Not one of them can ski. A three-day adventure with a seventeen-month-old, a three-year old and a five-year old. Can you imagine? Let truth lead you to the light of life and the true passion of your heart. Be as honest as a little child. Let’s journey together through a unique and unbelievable experience with “Me, My boys and God.”

Advice For Italian Boys by Anne Giardini Pdf

Nicolo’s older and younger brothers seem to have their lives in focus. Nicolo works hard, saves his money, respects his parents and his nonna, but he is still living at home in his early 20s, his life as unformed as gelato. If only he knew which direction to take. His father wants him to study. His mother hints that he should to start a family of his own. Nonna’s advice is emphatic but mysterious. Filomena Pavone, Nonna to her family, watches over and advises her grandsons by day, and dreams by night of her youth in the southern Italian village of Arduino—its dusty narrow streets, its fragrant flowers, her first forbidden kisses. No one knows or remembers this other Filomena, and her surrendered life of passion and love. But her spirit still glows inside her like banked coals. Beloved by readers and critics alike, Advice for Italian Boys resonates and surprises. Anne Giardini reveals how life’s most intense moments arise unexpectedly, and how, like Nicolo, we must glean the advice we need to live our lives from well-intentioned but often misguided friends, family and strangers.

God's Promises for Boys by Jack Countryman,Amy Parker Pdf

An easy way to help young boys see God’s promises and how they can rely on His love in their daily lives. The promise verses in this book are selected from the bestselling International Children’s Bible® to offer comfort and encouragement when a boy is feeling afraid, lonely, worried, angry, dissatisfied, discouraged, sad, rebellious, impatient, or sick . . . and when they need reassurance of God’s protection, love, forgiveness, help . . . and that He listens when they pray. It’s a great way for children to hide God’s Word in their hearts. Sample text: Sometimes it’s hard to tell the truth when you feel like you have something to hide. But remember—when it’s hard to be honest: God promises to reward Truth—not Lies! "You must do these things to enjoy life and have many happy days. You must not say evil things. You must not tell lies." Psalms 34:12-13

Experience God... His Love ... His Blessings ... His Power ... by BOBBI HODGES Pdf

How do you know who is a Christian and who is a hypocrite? Why do Christians say born again? What does it mean to be saved? Whats the difference between being religious and being spiritual?

What Is Wrong With the Bible? by Charles Giuliani Pdf

The Bible is the number one best-selling book of all time. No other literary work in history has ever held so many people captive to its claims. It is viewed as "God's word," an infallible moral guidebook, and a timeless provider of hope and comfort. But is there really any truth to these views? Is the Bible really worthy of all this fanfare? This book will reveal the ugly truth that the Bible is not at all what its fans think it to be. In fact, it is the very antithesis thereof. And this book will prove all of this by using the bible itself as its own refuter.

Boys will be Boys, and Other Myths by Will Moore Pdf

Throughout history, we have exalted and theologised about men like Adam or David to the point where we have become oblivious to the fact that they are far from perfect role models for Christian manhood. Failing to read scripture properly, we have used it to shape a distorted understanding of masculinity. Stretching from issues of violence, emotional and sexual abuse, the desire for power, homophobia, and the suppression of emotions, Will Moore draws from scholarship, personal stories, and popular culture to offer an honest and accessible insight into the toxic myths which frame how w e read scripture. Only when we expose these myths, he argues, can we start to see the authentic men staring straight back at us from the pages of our bibles, and be able to reshape the way in which we produce Christian men today, tackling the violence that is being done by men to themselves and others.

Abingdon Old Testament Commentaries: Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah by Daniel J. Simundson Pdf

The Abingdon Old Testament Commentaries provide compact, critical commentaries on the books of the Old Testament for the use of theological students and pastors. The commentaries are also useful for upper-level college or university students and for those responsible for teaching in congregational settings. In addition to providing basic information and insights into the Old Testament writings, these commentaries exemplify the tasks and procedures of careful interpretation to assist students of the Old Testament in coming to an informed and critical engagement with the biblical texts themselves. The prophetic books gathered together in the book of the Twelve are sometimes called the "minor" prophets because of their relatively small size when compared with Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. They are often neglected, at least partly because their words of judgment make the reader uncomfortable. Yet they have considerable theological and ethical value--for their call for social justice (especially Amos and Micah), their insights about the passionate love of God (in Hosea), God's grace and forgiveness (Jonah, Hosea, and elsewhere), and the finality of hope, even in the face of terrible catastrophes.

The Works of John Boys by John Boys Pdf

Though a committed Anglican, John Boys, the Dean of Canterbury from 1619-1625, was deeply evangelical. Included in this one-volume edition are Boys' writings on the Psalms used in the English liturgy, his exposition on the epistles and the gospels, his comments on the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, the Ten Commandments, and much more. Charles Spurgeon wrote that Boys was "One of the richest of writers. From his golden pen flows condensed wisdom. Many of his sentences are worthy to be quoted as gems of the Christian classics. We marvel that it has not been reprinted. Boys is all essence."
