The Blessings of a Tentmaker by Giles Isaacson Pdf

"The Blessings of a Tentmaker" is a story that has influenced the values and outcomes of my life and the lives of my children and grandchildren; it has had a similar great impact for good on hundreds and thousands of people around the globe! This book is not simply about ministry, it is a book of family stories. What is fascinating to realize, as I've read these stories, is how the character, actions and adventures of a parent will often be repeated by the children, as my siblings can also attest. As you read this book, consider not simply the value of the stories but also of your responsibility to God that will be reflected in your children and descendants! God help us to be careful what we allow to take root in our lives so that only what is true, honest, just, pure, lovely, excellent, and worth imitating, as the Apostle Paul admonished, can be written of us and be transferred to the next generation. This book evokes another consideration: What is the perfect job or the perfect life? Does it exist? My dad is both a businessman (yes, to this day!) and a minister. Asking this question is begging the background question for what is the purpose of a life? My dad explores this theme in this book. My son recently told me of an anonymous and relevant quote, "Dreamers dream; implementer's change the world." Implementing requires a plan or a purpose. My dad discovered his purpose, and therefore his perfect job, by intentionally taking time each day to worship the God who created him and who "knit" him together in his mother's womb for a specific purpose (Psalms 139:13). Those times of worship became the basis for action as he trusted that he had a talent and a message to share.

The Evangelical Universalist by Gregory MacDonald Pdf

Can an orthodox Christian, committed to the historic faith of the Church and the authority of the Bible, be a universalist? Is it possible to believe that salvation is found only by grace, through faith in Christ, and yet to maintain that in the end all people will be saved? Can one believe passionately in mission if one does not think that anyone will be lost forever? Could universalism be consistent with the teachings of the Bible? In The Evangelical Universalist the author argues that the answer is ‘yes!’ to all of these questions. Weaving together philosophical, theological, and biblical considerations, he seeks to show that being a committed universalist is consistent with the central teachings of the biblical texts and of historic Christian theology.

My Bucket List of Adventures Fulfilled by Giles J. Isaacson Pdf

"A while after mom passed, I encouraged dad to actually make a bucket list. When he sent me his first list I had to laugh because there were only just a few things on it. I suggested that he needed to think bigger and encouraged him to think about other things he might like to do. I also invited him to go to New York City because he had never been there and I have loved exploring the City and felt he would love it too. "So in June of 2019, dad and my youngest sister Christina and I headed out for what turned out to be quite the adventure, full of delight and drama and wonderful experiences that he shares in this book. It was wonderful for me to be a spectator of my dad's experiences in a new place and especially to take him to the Brooklyn Tabernacle to experience in person, the wonderful Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir. In this book, dad will tell part of the story of this experience but there is more that I'd like to share. We arrived an hour early for the service, after taking a bus and a ferry and walking a bit before taking another bus. It was a very hot day and already there was quite a crowd lined up outside the Tabernacle, waiting for the doors to open for the 11:00am service. During our wait, I encouraged dad to drink water but I saw that he was really struggling with the heat and having no place to sit. He was showing signs of exhaustion so I went to the entrance and talked with the two men there and asked if my dad could come inside and wait due to his declining condition. They agreed and dad tells this drama part of the story in this book. "When we were finally seated after the drama, I was beginning to feel claustrophobic. The small, old theatre seats next to me were filled with overstuffed people and I was forced to be squished up against dad and I began to feel anxious. But when the music started, 3300 people rose to their feet in joy and in worship and I was so overcome with joy that tears just poured from my eyes. I couldn't stop the flow of tears. It was such a beautiful experience to be in the presence of God and just worship Him. It was a day full of happiness and joy and I am grateful to have shared this with dad. "Dad was and still is a great but quiet teacher, teaching mostly by example. When I was very young, we took a family trip to the ocean. Even though I was only three or four, I remember so much about that trip...long walks on the beach with mom, looking for special rocks and shells; clam digging with dad and going to sleep listening to the calming sound of the waves crashing on the shore. One day while dad and I were clam digging, a huge wave swooped over me and took me out to sea. Dad rushed into the waves and caught me before I could be taken to China or wherever. As I look back, I don't remember being scared and the most amazing thing is dad didn't fuss about it at all. He set me back on the sand and we continued to clam dig a bit further away from the ocean waves. I truly believe this formed my initial beliefs about adventure and life...to be fearless. If dad had shown panic or fear, the outcome may have caused me to be fearful instead of fearless. I learned a most valuable lesson that day and have drawn on this lesson so many times in my life."

What Are Spiritual Gifts? by Kenneth Berding Pdf

Many Christians have tried to discover their spiritual gifts only to find the process frustrating and complicated. Rarely in our search do we actually ask what should be our central question: What are spiritual gifts? Kenneth Berding believes we have misunderstood spiritual gifts, which has led to a misguided search. His convincing and readable study suggests that the Holy Spirit does not give special abilities (the conventional view), but rather calls us and places us into various ministries to build up and strengthen the body of Christ. - Back cover.

Blessed Are the Tent-Makers by Adam Mixon Pdf

Changing times are demanding that we adjust our ideas about vocational ministry. While many of us are resistant to change and see it as an obstacle or an ordeal to be overcome - the burden of doing ministry in these times is replete with opportunity! Tent-making sets us in a place where we can actually broaden our influence and expand our witness by living faithfully and working among those whom we desire to serve.

The Tentmakers of Cairo by Seif El Rashidi Pdf

"An expansive and captivating history of an often overlooked traditional art"—Egyptian Streets In the crowded center of Historic Cairo lies a covered market lined with wonderful textiles sewn by hand in brilliant colors and intricate patterns. This is the Street of the Tentmakers, the home of the Egyptian appliqué art known as khayamiya. The Tentmakers of Cairo brings together the stories of the tentmakers and their extraordinary tents—from the huge tent pavilions, or suradeq, of the streets of Egypt, to the souvenirs of the First World War and textile artworks celebrated by quilters around the world. It traces the origins and aesthetics of the khayamiya textiles that enlivened the ceremonial tents of the Fatimid, Mamluk, and Ottoman dynasties, exploring the ways in which they challenged conventions under new patrons and technologies, inspired the paper cut-outs of Henri Matisse, and continue to preserve a legacy of skilled handcraft in an age of relentless mass production. Drawing on historical literature, interviews with tentmakers, and analysis of khayamiya from around the world, the authors reveal the stories of this unique and spectacular Egyptian textile art.

The Promise and the Blessing by Michael A. Harbin Pdf

The Bible is a collection of writings that together tell a unified story. But exactly how do all the pieces fit together? In a single volume, The Promise and the Blessing connects the dots of the Old and New Testament books to reveal the big picture of salvation history. Organized chronologically rather than canonically, this book traces the flow of Israel’s history and shows how the New Testament proceeds out of the Old. It begins with God’s creation of the cosmos and the initial problem of the fall of man. Then it traces God’s solutions to that problem as he selects first one man, Abraham, then his line, and then the nation of Israel to provide the Messiah. Finally, it focuses on the Messiah himself and looks at how the gospel of Jesus was spread throughout the known world. The Promise and the Blessing is easy to use and ideal for anyone who wants to understand the grand narrative of the Bible. It features numerous beautiful, full-color photos, as well as sidebars and brief, fascinating “breakouts” of supplementary information. Maps, illustrations, summaries, and insightful notes help to illuminate the text. Field-tested in the classroom, The Promise and the Blessing is designed for Old and New Testament survey classes and will provide all readers of the Bible with a better understanding of how the drama that began in Eden winds through Israel’s history to its fulfillment in Jesus Christ.
