Superheroes Can’t Save You by Todd Miles Pdf

Comic superheroes embody the hopes of a world that is desperate for a savior. But those comic creations cannot save us from our greatest foes—sin and death. Throughout the history of the Church there have been bad ideas, misconceptions, and heretical presentations of Jesus. Each one of these heresies fails to present Jesus as the Bible reveals him. In Superheroes Can’t Save You, Todd Miles demonstrates how these ancient heresies are embodied in contemporary comic superheroes. Miles compares something everybody already knows (who the superheroes are) with what they need to know (who Jesus is), in a book that makes vitally important Christian truths understandable and applicable to a wide audience.

Black Jesus and Other Superheroes by Venita Blackburn Pdf

Winner of the Prairie Schooner Book Prize in Fiction, Black Jesus and Other Superheroes chronicles ordinary people achieving vivid extrasensory perception while under extreme pain. The stories tumble into a universe of the jaded and the hopeful, in which men and women burdened with unwieldy and undesirable superhuman abilities are nonetheless resilient in subtle and startling ways. Venita Blackburn's characters hurl themselves toward the inevitable fates they might rather wish away. Their stories play with magic without the sparkle, glaring at the internal machinations of the human spirit. Fragile symbols for things such as race, sexuality, and love are lifted, decorated, and exposed to scrutiny and awe like so many ruins of our imagination. Through it all Blackburn’s characters stumble along currents of language both thoughtful and hilarious.

I Am Jesus: The One, True Superhero by Lee Fredrickson Pdf

I Am Jesus, the only Superhero you will ever need. This, biblically accurate, historical graphic novel presents Me as God. All of the heroes in the Bible had one thing in common, they needed a superhero. I am that Superhero, for I had no beginning and no end. I was active in the creation of the universe and have had a part in everything that has ever happened on this earth. In fact, I hold the universe together with the power of My hand. Yet, at an appointed time, I came to this earth as a baby, to grow up alongside the mortals I created. During My brief thirty-three years on this earth, I healed every manner of diseases and even raised people from the dead. I also gave the world its greatest teaching. I did this to show humankind that anyone who believes in Me, and places their complete trust in Me, would live forever with Me in Heaven. Experience Me, and let Me talk to you directly and change your life for eternity. -Jesus Christ Jesus is the only Superhero. Instead of coming from a planet far away to live on this earth, Jesus created the planets. Rather than being faster than a speeding bullet, Jesus travels faster than the speed of light. A number of the superheroes had their sidekicks. Batman had Robin, and Superman had Superboy. Jesus wants you as His sidekick. He is able to do what all the other superheroes could not do. He is able to give you the power to become one of the sons of God. Think about it, Jesus wants to give you His power. Now there's a dynamic duo! This historical graphic novel presents Jesus talking to you directly as God the Son. Jesus is the only Superhero you need for this life, and the life to come, for He has no beginning and no end. He was active in the creation of the universe. He has a part in everything that has or will ever happen on this earth and in the universe. In fact, He holds the universe together with the power of His hand. Yet, at an appointed time, He came to this earth as a baby, to grow up alongside the mortals He created. During His brief thirty-three years on this earth, He healed every manner of diseases and even raised people from the dead. He also gave the world its greatest teaching. He did this to show you that if you believe in Him, and place your complete trust in Him, you too can live forever with Him in Heaven. Experience Jesus, and let Him change your life for eternity.

From Star Wars to Superman by James Papandrea Pdf

When cultures such as ours toss Jesus out one door, He comes in – albeit disguised – through another. That’s why author Jim Papandrea turned to Star Wars, Star Trek, The Matrix, Terminator, Spider-Man, Batman, Dr. Who, and half-a-dozen other modern shows, discovering in each one powerful images of Christ and salvation. Nor is that surprising. In stories of alternative universes, people always need rescuing; somebody needs to save the day; and sometimes the whole world cries out for a savior . . . which is just what a hero is. About the heroes of some of the most popular sci-fi stories of all time, author Papandrea here answers questions that concern Christians who are also Trekkies, Whovians, Matrix Dwellers, or aficionados of popular science fiction: What kind of “Christ-figure” is the hero of this story, and what does that say about the show’s vision of Christ, humanity and salvation? In the interest of being scientific, Papandrea even gives each hero a Numerical Orthodoxy Score based on the description of Christ in the Nicene Creed, Christianity’s common definition of orthodoxy. Included herein are astute Christian analyses of: Batman * Captain * America * Doctor Who * The Fifth Element * I, Robot * Iron Man * LOST * The Matrix * Planet of the Apes * Pleasantville * Spider-Man * Star Trek * Star Wars * Superman * The Terminator * The Time Machine * Tron * Wonder Woman Here you’ll read about: The pervasive Christian imagery in Doctor WhoStar Trek’s predicted “death of God”Free-will: the stumbling block in the first MatrixThe crucifixion of Spider-ManWhy Wonder Woman is an image of a gnostic saviorThe meaning of salvation in Star Wars (It masquerades as Christian)How Superman’s life begins as a parallel of Moses.I, Robot: the religious reason why the robot is called “Sonny”Whether, in any Christian sense, Neo is The One?Captain American and Iron-Man: one defends the innocent, the other brings justice to the guiltyThe tomb scene in the Fifth Element: it’s not the resurrection we needMatter vs. Spirit in Tron: gnostic to the coreThe anti-Christian bias of Planet of the ApesWhy the Force in Star Wars is no analogy to Grace or the Holy SpiritThe Star Wars Christ figure: Obi-Wan? Luke? Or even, ultimately, Darth VaderWhat Heaven is understood to be in the LOST universeTime travel as incarnation in The Terminator: a compelling analogyRegeneration as resurrection in Doctor Who: Is it Christ-like?How Pleasantville reverses the dynamism of the FallThe baptismal significance of the plane crash in LOSTPleasantville: a twisted version of EdenThe incarnation of the Christ-figure in Planet of the ApesTron’s parallels between Christianity and the Roman Empire . . . and much more about other science fiction and superhero shows! Christians who enjoy popular culture will greet this fun book with interest and acclaim.

Jesus is a Superhero! by Lisa Feeney Pdf

As a preschool teacher, I am often humbled by the words and actions of the children in my classroom. One day during our sharing time, many of the students were talking about their favorite superheroes. As the conversations continued one sweet boy raised his hand and waited patiently for me to call on him and when I did he very confidently said, "Mrs. Feeney did you know that Jesus is a superhero?" I was so moved by what he said. I shared his words with his mom and she shared how he had recently drawn three crosses on one of the walls in their home. It is my belief that when Jesus speaks to us and through us, we should listen and take action.

You Are Meant to Be Loved by Louresta Dodson-Lankard Pdf

In my search for total truth (fear and all), I unlocked a kaleidoscope of questions: Who, what, when, where and why, am I? God answered (and still is) and reassured me. He made us all to be loved by him, And we are all attempting to survive in a sick, broken and fallen matrices of a spiritually warped and insane world, ran by the prince of darkness. A world that cyclically descends into chaos, pandemonium and dementia across the world. The culprits, spirits of Ignorance, shame, guilt, and fear, opens doors of attacks by Satan and his minions manipulating societies, utilizing our free will decisions. Honestly Talking to God about it releases you.

Jesus Christ by Scott Bayles Pdf

The world needs heroes... champions of truth and justice who fight for what's right and save the day. And nobody does heroes better than comic-books. Clad in colorful capes and costumes, superheroes regularly thwart would-be world conquerors and fend off alien invasions. The only drawback is... they aren't real. They only exist in imaginary stories created by talented authors and artists. So we look for real heroes... athletes, doctors, firefighters, police, etc. But real heroes fail us often enough to remind us that they aren't very super after all. Fortunately, these heroes point beyond themselves to someone both real and super... Someone who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men, and gave his life to save the world! His name is Jesus Christ!In Jesus Christ: The World's Great Hero! author and artist Scott Bayles condenses the greatest story ever told into a fast-paced, action-packed, twenty-four page graphic novel. Highlighting Christ's heroic nature, Jesus Christ: The World's Greatest Hero! is perfect for children as well as adult comic-book collectors!

How to Wrestle a Girl by Venita Blackburn Pdf

A Paris Review Staff Pick and an Amazon Editors' Pick. Finalist for the 2022 Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Fiction and the Ernest J. Gaines Award for Literary Excellence, and longlisted for the 2022 Joyce Carol Oates Prize. "Bold, witty, ominous and vulnerable . . . How to Wrestle a Girl shines in its propensity to magnify small moments, challenge our presumptions and dissect the beauty, danger and wonder of girlhood." --The New York Times Book Review Hilarious, tough, and tender stories from a farseeing star on the rise Venita Blackburn’s characters bully and suffer, spit and tease, mope and blame. They’re hyperaware of their bodies and fiercely observant, fending off the failures and advances of adults with indifferent ease. In “Biology Class,” they torment a teacher to the point of near insanity, while in “Bear Bear HarvestTM,” they prepare to sell their excess fat and skin for food processing. Stark and sharp, hilarious and ominous, these pieces are scabbed, bruised, and prone to scarring. Many of the stories, set in Southern California, follow a teenage girl in the aftermath of her beloved father’s death and capture her sister’s and mother’s encounters with men of all ages, as well as the girl’s budding attraction to her best friend, Esperanza. In and out of school, participating in wrestling and softball, attending church with her hysterically complicated family, and dominating boys in arm wrestling, she grapples with her burgeoning queerness and her emerging body, becoming wary of clarity rather than hoping for it. A rising star, Blackburn is a trailblazing stylist, and in How to Wrestle a Girl she masterfully shakes loose a vision of girlhood that is raw, vulnerable, and never at ease.

Losing the Cape by Dan Stanford Pdf

How to be a hero when you're feeling anything but super Despite all the superhero hype, the problems and pain in our world aren't going away. In fact, it often feels like the threats just keep coming. But the good news is that God has placed you here for such a time as this. And the even better news? You don't have to get rid of your anxiety, debt, speech impediment, extra weight, health issues, disability--or any other weakness--to be used by God. What this world actually needs is less-than-super people making small but significant differences in their own corners of the world. Through inspiring stories from the Bible and his own life, Dan Stanford demonstrates that with God availability is more important than ability. Losing the Cape is an invitation to start making the world a better place through your ordinary, everyday presence.
