God's Unusual Saints by Edward J. Hahnenberg Pdf

Gods Unusual Saints examines the lives of several saints in the Catholic Church. Recognized as living heroically holy lives by the Churchs early tradition, or canonized by Popes in later times, these men and women displayed qualities that reflect the unique call of God to unusual lives of sanctity. As in the case of anomalies in the physical universe which at first glance seems to be an extremely ordered creation, so too in the Church, there are canonized saints who do not seem to fit the traditional ideas of what a saint should be. Yet their lives give witness to the ever creative ways God leads his own to heaven. Their lives should inspire all of us that sanctity is always possible in this life in spite of our foibles or failures as humans.

Saints by Dawn Marie Beutner Pdf

Jesus told us to be perfect, and the Second Vatican Council highlighted this command by speaking of the universal call to holiness for all Christians. How do we answer this call? One great way is to learn from and pray with the saints, the ordinary men and women who fought the good fight to be holy until the end of their lives – and won. The saints have inspired Christians for more than two thousand years because they show us what it looks like to follow Jesus Christ despite countless challenges and obstacles. This unique book contains short biographies of several saints, along with prayers to each one, for every day of the year. It also provides definitions of Church terms and other helpful back - ground information. The saints in this collection come from every period of Church history and all walks of life. They represent numerous countries, cultures, age groups, and vocations. They show us that holiness truly is a path open to anyone, and by their example and prayers they help us to follow it.

Revelation by Grant R. Osborne Pdf

The Book of Revelation contains some of the most difficult passages in Scripture. Grant Osborne's commentary on Revelation interprets the text while also introducing readers to the perspectives of contemporary scholarship in a clear and accessible manner. Osborne begins with a thorough introduction to Revelation and the many difficulties involved in its interpretation. He discusses authorship, date of writing, and the social and cultural setting of the work. He also examines elements that complicate the interpretation of apocalyptic literature, including the use of symbols and figures of speech, Old Testament allusions, and the role of prophetic prediction. Osborne surveys various approaches commentators have taken on whether Revelation refers primarily to the past or to events that are yet future. Rather than exegeting the text narrowly in a verse-by-verse manner, Osborne examines larger sections in order to locate and emphasize the writer's central message and the theology found therein. Throughout, he presents his conclusions in an accessible manner. When dealing with particularly problematic sections, he considers the full range of suggested interpretations and introduces the reader to a broad spectrum of commentators. Revelation seeks to reach a broad audience with scholarly research from a decidedly evangelical perspective.
