The Modern Prodigal Son People Need the Lord by Eula Bennett-Bramwell Pdf

We are in the age of influences and modern technology. Jerry The Modern Prodigal Son, rich and handsome... influenced by the pleasures of life, the power of money, and the ease of modern technology, at an early age, he demanded from his parents his share of the inheritance before he dies. Driving a stunning sports car, he sets off on a journey to a world unknown; to enjoy the pleasures of life that money could buy. On his journey, to the height of happiness, he becomes friendly with Tom, Dick, Harry, Jane, and Sue... In tears, and in agony, Jerry looked back at his journey, and realized, when it was too late, that making wrong decisions, often leads to destructions. Turning the pages of this novel, you will want to join others who have been profoundly touched by the thoughts expressed and share this powerful, true-to-life story with teens, young adults, friends, and love ones. It doesn't matter what age we are now living in. Jesus's love for us is always unconditional. He came into this world to save us and not to condemn us.

What's So Amazing About Grace? Revised and Updated by Philip Yancey Pdf

OVER TWO MILLION COPIES SOLD! It's the most powerful force in the universe, our only hope for love and forgiveness, and a foretaste of eternal life: amazing, radical, life-changing grace. Millions of lives have been changed by award-winning author Philip Yancey's startling exploration of grace at street level. Grace is the one thing the world can't duplicate, the healing force we need, and the key to transforming a broken world. In this revised and updated edition of his personal and provocative book, Yancey offers true portraits of grace's life-changing power. These stories, set in the midst of life's stark realities, evoke such questions as: If grace is God's love for the undeserving, how do I get it? How well are we dispensing grace to a world that knows far more of strife and unforgiveness than it does of mercy? Can grace make a difference in the midst of such atrocities as the Nazi holocaust, and how can it withstand the brutality of hate? With powerful stories, rich theology, and practical suggestions, Yancey challenges us to become living answers to a world that desperately needs to know, What's So Amazing About Grace?

INFLAMED: The Testimony of a Modern Prodigal by Westwick Abijah Williams Pdf

INFLAMED: The Testimony of a Modern Prodigal. The Modern Christian Series #2 is the story of someone born in a Christian home and brought up in the church. He grew up an ardent, committed, and conscientious Christian. But through reading indiscriminately, and naively befriending all and sundry, he fell into sin. His experiences in the world of sin were so horrendous and became so entrenched that eventually the Holy Spirit departed from him. It was after seven years that he came to himself, and, like Nebuchadnezzar, his reason returned, and he decided to reunite with the Father. The events that marked his return home were as spectacular as was his descent into the quagmire of sin. He actually had a Pentecostal “rushing mighty wind” experience as the apostles did; enjoyed the distinction of God speaking to him audibly as he did to the child Samuel or Moses at the burning bush; and had the honor of God proposing and sealing a covenant with him just as He did with Noah, Abraham, and David. His books, The Modern Christian Series, are the fruits of these experiences: messages from God to Christendom.

The Prodigal God by Timothy Keller Pdf

The New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet uncovers the essential message of Jesus, locked inside his most familiar parable. Newsweek called renowned minister Timothy Keller "a C.S. Lewis for the twenty-first century" in a feature on his first book, The Reason for God. In that book, he offered a rational explanation of why we should believe in God. Now, in The Prodigal God, Keller takes his trademark intellectual approach to understanding Christianity and uses the parable of the prodigal son to reveal an unexpected message of hope and salvation. Within that parable Jesus reveals God's prodigal grace toward both the irreligious and the moralistic. This book will challenge both the devout and skeptics to see Christianity in a whole new way.

The Prodigal Prophet by Timothy Keller Pdf

Most people, even those who are nonreligious, are familiar with the book of Jonah: a rebellious prophet defies God and is swallowed by a whale. Less familiar to most people is the second half of this Biblical story - what happens after Jonah is released from the belly of the fish. Yet it is in this second half of the story that one of the most powerful and important lessons of the Bible is hidden. The famous story shows how, if we would understand the mercy of God, it will always take us in directions we would rather not go, toward people we would rather not care about, and ultimately into the deepest counsels of God. In a time of growing division, The Prodigal Prophet shows us God's love among people, and how Christians must listen to God's call even when it takes them to uncomfortable places.

Prodigal Son by Stephen Ling Pdf

In this coming-of-age novel, David Chen Long, son of a wealthy Chinese family, studies English in college in the hope of working for an international company or in the diplomatic service overseas. His Chinese American professor, Professor Wang, introduces him to the excitement of American culture. His extracurricular activities distract him from his studies: “I wished I had paid more attention to my books and professors than to my endless pursuits of leisure and pleasure and sex. To Professor Wang, I am a playboy, a prodigal son, with questionable morality and wasteful spending on drinks, girls, sex, travels and hotels.” He attempts to be a responsible adult, pursuing his ambitions to go abroad and satisfying the expectations of his caring family. “PRODIGAL SON is a fiction but reads like a real story. A must read!” - Dr. Henry You Li, University of Canterbury, New Zealand “An exciting first novel about a rich but decadent youth in modern China.” - Dr. Alex Qi Song, Harvard University, USA

Guercino? Paintings and His Patrons?Politics in Early Modern Italy by DanielM. Unger Pdf

Guercino's Paintings and His Patrons' Politics in Early Modern Italy examines how the seventeenth-century Italian painter Giovanni Francesco Barbieri (better known as Il Guercino) instilled the political ideas of his patrons into his paintings. As it focuses on eight works showing religious scenes and scenes taken from Roman history, this volume bridges the gap between social and cultural history and the history of art, untangling the threads of art, politics, and religion during the time of the Thirty Years' War. A prolific painter, Guercino enjoyed the patronage of such luminaries as Pope Gregory XV, Cardinals Serra, Ludovisi, Spada, and Magalotti, and the French secretary of state La Vrilli?. While scholarly research has been devoted to Guercino's oeuvre, this book is the first to place his works squarely in the context of the political and social circumstances of seventeenth-century Italy, stressing the points of view and agendas of his powerful patrons. What were once meanings only apparent to the educated elite?or those familiar with the political affairs of the time?are now scrutinized and clarified for an audience far from the struggles of early modern Europe.
