Leading the Way to Heaven by Carine van Rhijn Pdf

Starting from manuscripts compiled for local priests in the Carolingian period, this book investigates the way in which pastoral care took shape at the local levels of society. They show what illiterate lay people learned about their religion, but also what priests themselves knew. The Carolingian royal dynasty, which ruled over much of Europe in the eighth and ninth century, is well-known for its success in war, patronage of learning and its ambitious style of rulership. A central theme in their plans for the future of their kingdom was to ensure God's everlasting support, and to make sure that all inhabitants – down to the last illiterate farmer – reached eternal life in heaven. This book shows how the ideal of leading everybody to salvation was a central element of Carolingian culture. The grass-roots approach shows how early medieval religion was anything but uniform, how it encompassed all spheres of daily life and how well-educated local priests did not only know how to baptise and preach, but could also advise on matters concerning health, legal procedure and even the future. This volume is of great use to upper-level undergraduates, postgraduates and scholars interested in the ecclesiastical history of Europe in the Carolingian period.

Not All Roads Lead to Heaven by Dr. Robert Jeffress Pdf

Almost 60 percent of those in American evangelical churches believe that many religions can lead to eternal life. But if Jesus is to be trusted when he says that no one comes to the Father except through him, the church is failing in its mission. And it's not hard to guess why. An exclusive Jesus just isn't popular in our inclusive world. Dr. Robert Jeffress calls on Christians to recover the exclusive claims of the one they claim as Lord and Savior, not as a way to keep people out of heaven but as the only way to invite them in. He tackles questions like - Can people be saved who have never heard of Christ? - What about those who worship God by another name? - Do children automatically go to Heaven when they die? True compassion for non-Christians doesn't lie in letting them go their way while we go ours, but in sharing the only true way with them.

The Hidden Enemy by Michael Youssef Pdf

What's going on in our world? Why are suicide bombers attacking our cities? Why are shooters invading our workplaces and malls? Why are students attacking speakers at their colleges? Why are there two versions of the truth on the Internet and in the media? Michael Youssef, popular teacher and Middle Eastern expert, explains in detail what's troubling today's world. Aggressive secularism is stripping our nation of the vestiges of truth, as many Christians are browbeaten into silence. What's ironic is that secularism is actually opening the door to the "might makes right" nature of radical Islam. In a post-truth world, the most powerful voice wins. What can save us and our children from this chilling future? Michael Youssef, in this groundbreaking book, shows how we can win the war against aggressive secularism, beat back the threat of radical Islam, and build a brighter future for both ourselves and the next generation. Be prepared for the times in which we live. Understand what's happening. Stand up for a brighter and hope-filled future for our children.

Lead the Way by Elaine Elkins Pdf

Judging by the popularity of do-it-yourself and self-help materials on the market today, society seems to be on an endless quest for purpose and satisfaction. Wanting to be the best versions of ourselves is a noble yet time- and resource- consuming pursuit. People have often said, “If only I had an owner’s manual for life . . .” We do: The Holy Bible. But who has the time to weed through that sizable book for the answers to life’s questions? Lead the Way: Following the Words and Examples of Jesus in Leading the Charge Toward Positive Cultural Change hopes to simplify the process for you. A 366-day study devotional and discipleship tool, LTW focuses on the teachings of Jesus to help the modern-day Christian navigate the myriad choice-points we all face daily. Each day, LTW hones in on a particular character trait, attitude, or expected response Jesus is highlighting in the day’s red-lettered text or larger passage. With that in mind, LTW then provides historical, political, cultural, and religious information pertaining to the day’s scripture: the setting, the audience, the response. From there, the reader is offered current-day examples and illustrations of how Jesus’ words and teachings apply to us today. The final two sections of each day’s study are where the rubber meets the road, so to speak. This is where learning moves from the head to the heart, and then from the heart to the hands and feet. Stepping In offers suggestions for further reflection through thought-provoking questions, prayer prompts, or scriptures to meditate on. Stepping Out provides ideas for how to put faith into tangible action. As followers of Jesus, we are commanded to take to heart the message of our Savior’s teachings and continue the movement he gave his life to promote. Lead the way that others may follow!

Leading the Way Through Galatians by Michael Youssef Pdf

Every girl is a beautiful creation, uniquely equipped by God to do His work in the world. But as girls are growing, changing, and making choices about the kinds of lives they will lead, they are bombarded with conflicting messages about what it means to be a woman. The media says one thing, boys say another, and friends seem obsessed with whatever is newest and coolest. As a result, girls too often hand their decisions over to those least qualified to make them. Into the breach steps Elizabeth George, bestselling author and beloved Bible teacher. With wisdom, gentleness, and tremendous grace, she guides tween girls ages 8 to 12 through the most challenging decisions they face, teaching them to let God--not the world--define who they are. Discussing such topics as attitude, friendships, crushes, parents, school, and avoiding bad situations, Elizabeth helps girls see that the very best choice of all is a choice to live within God's will. Perfect for individuals, small groups, and mentoring.

How to Travel Down the Narrow Road that Leads to Heaven by David Hawkins Pdf

How to Travel Down the Narrow Road That Leads to Heaven The narrow road that leads to heaven is very difficult to travel. You must work hard to drive up this bumpy road and avoid running out of faith or making a wrong turn. The road to hell is wide and smooth and easy to travel down. It does not require faith, and although you may take a right or left turn at one of the intersections, all roads lead to the same place of unending torment. The purpose of this book is to give you clear directions and a biblical map you can follow to get to heaven. There are fourteen stops along the way, starting with turning away from sin and turning toward God and ending with obeying the traffic laws of life that Jesus taught. All the stops in between give you the encouragement and knowledge you need to stay on track for a successful journey. These include receiving the gift of salvation and eternal life, developing a relationship with the Holy Spirit, having faith to follow Jesus, serving and loving God and your neighbor, digging deep into God's Word, giving generously, praying continually, getting ready for the end times, and living like Christ. Once you arrive at your final destination, there is no turning back. So take time to look over the directions carefully, study the map, and read the Scriptures written on the road signs posted all along the way.

Heaven and Hell by Bart D. Ehrman Pdf

Over half of Americans believe in a literal heaven, in a literal hell. Most people who hold these beliefs are Christian and assume they are the age-old teachings of the Bible. Ehrman shows that eternal rewards and punishments are found nowhere in the Old Testament, and are not what Jesus or his disciples taught. He recounts the long history of the afterlife, ranging from The Epic of Gilgamesh up to the writings of Augustine, focusing especially on the teachings of Jesus and his early followers. Ehrman shows that competing views were intimately connected with the social, cultural, and historical worlds out of which they emerged. -- adapted from jacket
