Reclaiming Your Christian Self in a Secular World by Cheryl Dickow Pdf
More than ever before, we are longing to understand God's unique plan for our lives. We are questioning how to live, more completely, as He commands. The Holy Spirit has placed a sense of urgency upon our hearts that calls us to return to God's Word as our source of wisdom and guidance. We find through women like Ruth, Zipporah, Deborah, and Noah's wife how God supports and encourages us on our own individual journeys. Ultimately we believe that, as we pursue the Father, He will be true to His word as given to us in Hebrews 11:6. "And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Reclaiming Your Christian Self in a Secular World inspires women to renew their commitment to their Creator and to their Christian identity. It helps them to answer the call that God has put on their lives. Reclaiming Your Christian Self in a Secular World clearly identifies the characteristics that the Lord values, as seen through the examples of women in Scripture, and gives meaningful ways for women to bring these traits into their daily lives."A 'must-read' for today's Christian woman. The perfect book for our women's group." Pam"A wonderful book with something for every woman." Kathy
Woman's Evangelical Commentary: New Testament by Dorothy Kelley Patterson,Rhonda Harrington Kelley Pdf
Written by women for women, this New Testament commentary adheres to the complementarian view of the relationship between men and women, helping readers see God's marvelous design and plan for all.
Wisdom is a woman. That is not just my opinion or some new academic theory. Wisdom is a woman because the Bible tells us so. It tells us that wisdom is more than just a benefit or a characteristic. In the Bible, wisdom is sometimes a person. When so personified, wisdom is always a woman. Sometimes she is Lady Wisdom. Sometimes she is Madame Insight. Most often she goes incognito; yet the shadow she casts is always a female form. Perhaps it is this very tendency to eschew the spotlight that has allowed us to overlook her for so long. It has not helped that pastors, theologians, and Bible scholars have historically been men. And much of Scripture chronicles God’s interaction with men, not women. But what if this centuries-long focus of and on men has had a subtle influence on Christian orthodoxy? What if some passages in Scripture remain unexplored, as undisturbed as the thick layer of dust that covers the top of every refrigerator in America? Wisdom Is a Woman examines just such dust-laden biblical passages. This is a journey of discovery that helps us look at things we thought we knew with fresh eyes. Luckily for us, we do not take this journey into dusty cupboards and overgrown gardens alone. Our guide throughout is Lady Wisdom, a formidable dame who knows every stone, tree root, and hidden pitfall along the way. She will take us back to the very beginnings of our world. We will focus for a time on Biblical women, from Eve to Priscilla. We will examine women in a general sense, looking for clues in our study of wisdom. We will visit the Proverbs 31 woman and tour Lady Wisdom’s academy. Our journey will compare the lives and work of two wise Biblical men and end with a step-by-step correlation between women and wisdom.
God's Wisdom from Biblical Women to African-American Women by REV Elizabeth Pettiford McCoy M DIV Pdf
GOD'S WISDOM from BIBICAL WOMEN to AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOMEN is a religious book discussing women of all ages, cultures, nationalities, and generations who sought God's revelation through His Word, the Holy Bible. These women believed, trusted, and had continuous "faith" that the Lord will see them though any incurred diversity of life. This empowered faith offered words of wisdom and assistance for these women to trust and have confidence in God. It talks of "giants" these women faced daily and how to defeat them. These women include: Women of the Old Testament, the New Testament, African-American "Firsts," the "Yes, We Still Can" Women movement of the Obama Era, and more "Distinguished Women" of today who have made a difference in today's society. Reverend Elizabeth Pettiford McCoy is an associate pastor of Lawson Chapel Missionary Baptist Church, Roxboro, North Carolina, a mother, a grandmother, a sister, a retired school counselor and Bible School teacher, but most of all she is a "Child of God." She is also a community leader with a "Masters in Divinity." She believes in education and assisting others to learn of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. This book is her debut in publishing God's Word. It shows a powerful comparison in "Women of the Bible" and "Hard Working African-American Women" of the past and today. I thank God for given her the courage, vision and agility to write this book.

Catching the Wind of the Spirit by Sunder Krishnan Pdf
In Catching the Wind of the Spirit, Rev. Krishnan explores eight spiritual disciplines—the sails that we must hoist if we are to catch the wind of the Spirit: Worship, Scripture meditation, Study, Prayer, Confession, Fellowship, Service and Giving. "The Holy Spirit is much the same as the wind and the sailboat," says Rev. Sunder Krishnan. It is the Spirit of God who performs the vital work of transforming each of us into the image of our Savior and Lord. But in order to be effectively steered and directed by the Spirit, we must embrace the spiritual disciplines that will help us gradually and progressively be transformed into the image of Christ. Each chapter includes questions for individual or group study.
This brand-new devotional, offering equal parts inspiration and encouragement, will uncover the "secrets" of Ruth, as you wrap your heart in this timeless message from God's Word.
Women and Redemption by Rosemary Radford Ruether Pdf
"Rosemary Radford Ruether's authoritative, award-winning critique of women's unequal standing in the church, which explored the complex history of redemption in evaluating conflict over the fundamental meaning of the Christian gospel for gender relations, is now in an updated and expanded edition. Ruether highlights women theologians' work to challenge the patriarchal paradigm of historical theology and to present redemption linked to the liberation of women. Ruether turns her attention to the situation of women globally and how the growing plurality of women's voices from multicultural and multireligious contexts articulates feminist liberation theology today." --Publisher description.
I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die by Sarah J. Robinson Pdf
A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
Get wisdom, get understanding ... Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee. Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. -- Proverbs 4:5-7 In this new edition of a classic of women's Bible study, beloved Christian author Edith Deen brings to life the stories of more than fifty biblical women and shows the lessons contemporary women can learn from each one. The culmination of a quarter century of study, Wisdom from Women in the Bible provides firsthand insight on how the women of the Bible dealt with both the everyday topics of marriage, home, possessions, children, and widowhood; and the eternal themes of spiritual awareness, love, worship, and faith. Represented here are the women whose wisdom shines like a beacon down through the ages: Mary, Ruth, Esther, and Deborah. But we can also learn from the wicked and the foolish -- Eve, Delilah, Jezebel, and Lot's wife -- the ones whose faults lead all too often to destruction. In engaging and perceptive portraits, Deen reintroduces us to women who reflect our own weaknesses and potential for greatness, our petty jealousies and soaring prayers. She then applies each story to modern life, firmly outlining its meaning for our time. The result is a book both classic and contemporary, inspirational and practical. "So I send this book forth with the hope that it will inspire a deeper study of the Bible and that it will help others gain a new wisdom and understanding in handling their daily problems. This is one of the wonders of the Bible. Any theme one chooses turns out to be contemporary." -- from the Preface
