The Silence of Calvary by Christopher L. Webber Pdf

A meditation on the meaning of Good Friday and the value of silence. Good Friday is not like any other time of the year, and Christians everywhere wonder about the best way to mark the day. Again and again, sermons and meditations have centered our attention on the words Jesus spoke from the cross, but those few, brief words would have needed only a few minutes on the first Good Friday. Seven chapters in this unique book consider the event, and the meaning, of the Crucifixion to our lives today, including the various ways in which silence plays a role in our daily lives. So many of us are overwhelmed with words coming at us from all our electronic devices that the thought of more language has less appeal than it once did. On one of the holiest days of the year, these brief meditations are designed to call us into the silence that still speaks more loudly than words.

Graciously Keep Me This Night by Steve Kruschel Pdf

"Graciously keep me this night." Martin Luther once prayed those words to God. So many others have joined his plea. A man named Job lost his children in a freak accident, then struggled with the point of life itself. A woman named Ruth waited in the dark, hoping the man she loved would reciprocate her love. An apostle nervously watched his life hang in the balance as a storm wrecked his ship. In love, Jesus graciously watched over each and every one of them. In love, Jesus graciously keeps you, too. He has felt the pain that stabs your heart, the betrayals that send you to tears, and the guilt that keeps you awake. He endured them all to make you his own. Let these devotions remind you of that good news — that you belong to Jesus, even when the darkness comes.

The Silence of God during the Passion by Daniel Bourguet Pdf

God's silence during the passion is certainly a silence towards man, but in particular God was silent towards Christ in his perfect and complete humanity. It is also the silence of the Father towards the Son . . . At first sight this silence is troubling and perhaps shocking, suggesting that God is in fact absent. However, the author invites us to go beyond this first impression--and the silence turns out to be of tremendous richness, overwhelming depth, and surprising beauty. We are invited to refocus our attention and discover what the Father is saying in a completely new way. These pages sing with love for God, and our meditation of the passion narratives draws us into deep contemplation of the One they celebrate, the Crucified.

A Life for Barabbas by Stan Escott Pdf

Barabbas is referenced in only eleven Bible verses in the New Testament. Then he disappears from the story. "A Life for Barabbas" imagines how he might have lived the rest of his life. Here was a notorious man, convicted and facing crucifixion, suddenly pardoned by Pilate and released from prison. Stunned and confused by this turn of events, he flees the city and within hours finds himself on Calvary where he encounters the crucified Jesus, and there begins Barabbas' transformation from unrepentant rebel to redeemed Christian leader. Part adventure story, part history, the novel is set during the 40 years between the crucifixion of Jesus and the siege of Jerusalem. While the work is fictional, as are some of the characters and their activities, it is vividly drawn with well-researched details of daily life in first century Palestine. The storyline closely follows Biblical events and influences on the evolution of Christianity in the First Century, and, in the process, seeks to clarify some of Jesus' core teachings. A Life for Barabbas will appeal to fans of The Robe, Ben Hur, Spartacus, The Spear, and The Shack, to name a few. A Life for Barabbas is different in that the entire story is based on researched historic facts, events, settings, and creates a life story for a man mentioned only briefly in the Bible.

Listen to the Silence: A Retreat with Père Jacques by Père Jacques Bunel, OCD Pdf

The Carmelite nuns at Pontoise invited Père Jacques to give conferences and to preach as retreat master. They received from him a seven-day retreat in the late summer of 1943. This book contains the talks he gave to the nuns: they are inspiring, but also warm-hearted reflections, on questions of key interest to his audience. Among the topics were love for Christ, for His Blessed Mother, the nuns’ Carmelite contemplative prayer life, and their religious observance, but all received deft treatment from this confrere who eventually became famous for his compassionate assistance to the persecuted in World War II. More Information As a diocesan priest Père Jacques Bunel was frequently in demand as a preacher in his home diocese of Rouen (Normandy). Along with his duties as educator in a prep school in Le Havre he spoke at important public occasions. He was chosen to give the sermon that marked the five hundredth anniversary of the death of St. Joan of Arc in the Cathedral of Rouen, the city where she was burned at the stake. Afterwards, when he became a Discalced Carmelite friar (the cover photo shows him on the day he professed his vows), he continued to exercise a preaching ministry. We owe the full texts of those talks (to the Carmelite Nuns of Pontoise), as well as helpful notes and an introduction, to Rev. Dr. Francis J. Murphy. Father Murphy, a diocesan priest who has become a good friend of the Carmelites through his interest in Père Jacques, collaborating with them as he collaborates with his historian colleagues, teaches at Boston College in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. This collection of talks extends the knowledge Father Murphy has provided to the public in the biography volume he named and published at ICS Publications with the title: Père Jacques, Resplendent in Victory. Book includes 8 photos.

Calvinism in the Las Vegas Airport by Richard J. Mouw Pdf

This incongruous conversation demonstrates how Calvinism is often perceived today: irrelevant, harsh, even disrespectful.Beginning with this movie scene, Calvinism in the Las Vegas Airport addresses the weaknesses of Calvinism and points to its strengths. How does Calvinism shed light on today? Instead of reciting the Canons of Dordt, what’s a more compassionate way to relate to nonbelievers? What might it look like to live out the doctrines of TULIP with gentleness and respect? This conversational book provides answers and shatters some stereotypes.

Calvinists and non-Calvinists alike will find this an enjoyable read. You will discover that Reformed theology can speak relevantly and compellingly today, both to you and to people in the Las Vegas airport. Does Calvinism Have Anything to Do with the 21st Century?What do you think about Calvinism? Do you view it positively or negatively? Or has its day passed?Let’s face it, many non-Calvinists hold a less-than-positive view, sometimes due to caricatures. This friendly, conversational book helps clear up some misconceptions and distorted views. If you’re not a Calvinist, here is an engaging inside look. And if you are a Calvinist, Richard Mouw shows how to live gently and respectfully with others—Christians and non-Christians—who hold different perspectives.Calvinism in the Las Vegas Airport focuses not on what Calvinists believe but on how they live.

Capsule for the Day by Francis M. Afu Pdf

Capsule for the Day is a daily devotional that offers healing words in our world—a world created by God that is good but broken and wounded. Each capsule tells a story that gives voice to our own stories. It celebrates our joys and victories. It reveals the beauty lurking in our brokenness and the message in our mess. The capsule calls us to faith and to respond to God’s gift of himself. It inspires hope. It challenges us to cooperate with God in rough times and even in the midst of evil, to be expectant, and to wait for the birth of that which at a given moment is shrouded in mystery. It summons us to keep a steady relationship with God through prayer. It reminds us that we are loved by the Father and called to love him and our neighbours. Capsule for the Day seeks to strengthen us as we journey through life. It is a guide that enables us to navigate our way in the world to seek God, to gather around him, and to find our purpose. It asks the question, what do you live for? And day by day, it leads us to Christ in whom we find answers to our ultimate questions.

On Calvary's Hill by Max Lucado,Charles F. Stanley Pdf

In his last week on Earth, Jesus knew the end was near. He knew the finality of Friday, but did he also know the victory of Sunday? Join bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado invites you to walk with Jesus in the week leading up to the crucifixion: feeling his passion, sensing his authority, and hearing his promise that death has no power. On Calvary's Hill paints a picture of Jesus in his final week: Jesus was commonly dressed but uncommonly focused. Leaving Jericho and walking toward Jerusalem, he doesn't chatter or pause. He's on his final journey. Even the angels are silent. They know this is no ordinary walk or week--hinged on this week is the door of eternity. With excerpts from Max's bestsellers, including 3:16, He Chose the Nails, and Just Like Jesus, On Calvary's Hill will take you into Jesus' last week, from the road to Jerusalem to the resurrection. Each reading includes a timeless verse, an in-depth reading, and a thoughtful prayer designed to help you draw near to the Savior and prepare to celebrate the resurrection--the greatest miracle ever conceived. As we observe Jesus' last week, Max challenges us to face difficult questions, including: When betrayal comes, what can we do? Why is the cross a symbol of Christianity? What would it feel like to witness this scene firsthand? Let's follow Jesus on his final journey. By observing his, we may learn how to make ours.
