Under the Oak Tree by Ronald J. Allen,John S. McClure,O. Wesley Allen Jr. Pdf
Two trends in the early twenty-first-century intersect to give this volume immediate relevance: 1) The emerging postmodern ethos in North America is calling into question many things we have taken for granted, including the purposes of the church; and 2) our time is increasingly fractious as groups with distinct worldviews become polarized and often antagonistic. Eleven noted contributors join a growing current that sees conversation as an image to refresh our thinking about the nature and purpose of the church, and as a process in which individuals and communities with different perspectives come together for real understanding. Under the Oak Tree employs the image of Sarah and Abraham greeting three visitors under the Oaks of Mamre as an image for the church as a community of conversation, a community that opens itself to the otherness of the Bible, voices in history and tradition, others in the contemporary social and ecological worlds. Furthermore, the book shows how conversation can lead the church to action. The book takes a practical approach by exploring how conversation can shape key parts of the church's life. Topics include preaching, worship, formation, evangelism, pastoral care, mission and ecumenism, social witness, and the relationship of Christianity to other religions. Foundational chapters consider God as conversational, the church as community of conversation, and the minister as conversation leader.
With the rapid increase of globalization, international communities have become increasingly interdependent. At a time when the world is shrinking and we become increasingly interdependent, it is critical to understand the cultural, political and religious similarities and differences that we all share. In Sidetracks, Dr. Aras Demir combines his historic research with his true experiences as a high school exchange student living in a Midwestern town, to expose the thoughts and questions of a teenager attempting to understand the ties that bind us – the shared human experience. “This is a book that should be 'required reading' for all students of world history.” - Svea Fraser MDiv
The islands of Britain have been a crossroads of gods, heroes, and kings-those of flesh as well as those of myth-for thousands of years. Successive waves of invasion brought distinctive legends, rites, and beliefs. The ancient Celts displaced earlier indigenous peoples, only to find themselves displaced in turn by the Romans, who then abandoned the islands to Germanic tribes, a people themselves nearly overcome in time by an influx of Scandinavians. With each wave of invaders came a battle for the mythic mind of the Isles as the newcomer's belief system met with the existing systems of gods, legends, and myths. In Gods, Heroes, and Kings, medievalist Christopher Fee and veteran myth scholar David Leeming unearth the layers of the British Isles' unique folkloric tradition to discover how this body of seemingly disparate tales developed. The authors find a virtual battlefield of myths in which pagan and Judeo-Christian beliefs fought for dominance, and classical, Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, and Celtic narrative threads became tangled together. The resulting body of legends became a strange but coherent hybrid, so that by the time Chaucer wrote "The Wife of Bath's Tale" in the fourteenth century, a Christian theme of redemption fought for prominence with a tripartite Celtic goddess and the Arthurian legends of Sir Gawain-itself a hybrid mythology. Without a guide, the corpus of British mythology can seem impenetrable. Taking advantage of the latest research, Fee and Leeming employ a unique comparative approach to map the origins and development of one of the richest folkloric traditions. Copiously illustrated with excerpts in translation from the original sources,Gods, Heroes, and Kings provides a fascinating and accessible new perspective on the history of British mythology.
This books taps into the powerful imagery of trees to suggest ways that one may sink roots into God's Word and grow strong branches that bear the fruits of faith.
Mary is a modern woman with millennial adult children. Her husband, Grant, was her gift from God who she trusted fully. However, her friend and soon-to-become family member through marriage became possessed by the demonic spirit of the Jezebel. Soon Mary’s husband would be granting all the demon’s requests. As Grant danced to the demon’s tune, Mary frantically tried to shut off the demon’s music. Together Jezebel and Grant plotted to entrap Mary as their animalistic graphic lust grew more and more deceptive. Would God let their plot destroy all of Mary? Or would Jezebel and Grant both find themselves entrapped in their own snare? That would, of course, depend on God.
Each WORD from God is like an acorn fallen from the oak tree. An acorn doesn't look like much, little and hard crusted! However, within this acorn lies all the DNA to become a mighty tree. In this creative endeavor, I have compiled 40 words which I feel have the power to challenge, affirm, and strengthen every seeker who is willing to travel this journey. These words are not to be read from beginning to end like any other book. Rather prayerfully ask God for which WORD you NEED. And when guided to that word, let it soak into your heart. Let it breathe within you. Live with it for awhile. I spent a whole season of Lent with the word GLORY, or a summer with the word TRUST. This resource has helped me to "crawl into the acorn" and really dwell with the word. Inside, I found a sacred place where my spirit would find quiet rest and adventure. When all else around me was confused and agitated ... here I would find peace ... and like the acorn ... I grew! May these words bring you ever closer to the ONE who created you and desires for you more than you could ever imagine! In reading the introduction to this wonderful book, I was visibly moved by the words I was reading. There is a power and a peace in opening a page of Patti's book and letting it take the reader into a quiet place. "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest." (Mk.6:31) This is a book that is like a well of spiritual refreshment ready for you to dive into its soothing depths at any reading. Tom Peterson Executive Director ACTS Missions San Antonio, Tx

The Oak Tree That Grew on a Rock by Dereje Bekele Pdf
An amazing book! I could hardly lay it down. It moves from marvel to marvel. The book of Acts is happening today much like it happened 2,000 years ago. The book reveals a world of miracles and the powerful working of the Holy Spirit. Its radical departure from the modern enlightenment world view where no miracles happen is refreshing!' David W. Shenk, consultant, Christian/Muslim Relations This book is powerful because it presents the faith and life of a human being who gave his life completely to Jesus and lives like that a marvelous story and a precious addition to the stories of men and women of faith whose lives tug at our deepest feelings, pulling us ever onward in our own walk with the Lord. Donald R. Jacobs, Missiologist Once or twice in a generation, a man or woman appears with such childlike faith, profound union with God that through their testimony we fall on our faces crying, The Lord, he is God! not many of us have walked that path of obedient, living faith so simply, deeply, and persistently as Gerbole Richard Showalter in the Foreword
This book offers a novel interpretation of politics and identity in Ovid's epic poem of transformations, the Metamorphoses. Reexamining the emphatically fictional character of the poem, Playing Gods argues that Ovid uses the problem of fiction in the text to redefine the power of poetry in Augustan Rome. The book also provides the fullest account yet of how the poem relates to the range of cultural phenomena that defined and projected Augustan authority, including spectacle, theater, and the visual arts. Andrew Feldherr argues that a key to the political as well as literary power of the Metamorphoses is the way it manipulates its readers' awareness that its stories cannot possibly be true. By continually juxtaposing the imaginary and the real, Ovid shows how a poem made up of fictions can and cannot acquire the authority and presence of other discursive forms. One important way that the poem does this is through narratives that create a "double vision" by casting characters as both mythical figures and enduring presences in the physical landscapes of its readers. This narrative device creates the kind of tensions between identification and distance that Augustan Romans would have felt when experiencing imperial spectacle and other contemporary cultural forms. Full of original interpretations, Playing Gods constructs a model for political readings of fiction that will be useful not only to classicists but to literary theorists and cultural historians in other fields.
During her quest to draw closer to Yahweh and Yahshua, Patricia Green received a revelation from the Holy Spirit. The Spirit showed her seven ways in which God's children can soak in His love. From that revelation, Green understood that the bride of Christ needs to prepare for her Bridegroom, as His imminent return is coming swiftly. Those who are wise and have set extra oil in their lamps will be ready when the trumpet sounds and Yahshua appears in the sky. Now is the time for the bride of Christ to soak in His love by becoming intimate with her Bridegroom.
