Unlikely Christian Poetry Collection by Charna Ainsworth Pdf

Unlikely Christian is a collection of Christian poems and landscape photography that reassure believers and awaken skeptics to God's unmeasurable mercy and love. Through the median of words and photography, Charna Ainsworth probes the light and the darkness to uncover what it means to be an Unlikely Christian. Each poem explores a unique layer within the spiritual experiences of Christianity. With a descriptive ability to verbalize honest emotions shared by most people but mainly left unsaid, Ainsworth opens the door to explore these feelings. She shares her personal journey into the wonder of God's peace with revelations about purpose, life, relationships, and love. Every poem opens the heart to feel beauty, joy, and the spirit of life that dwells in all of us. This collection covers the gamut, from basking in the love of God to encouragement for those who have suffered grief and loss. There are even some for those who enjoy nature and for those who question the reasons of redemption. Every person who has ever questioned their worth or worthiness in God's eyes should read this book. And everyone who knows someone who believes their past or present circumstances deems them unworthy of receiving grace, should give them this book as a gift. Ainsworth's Unlikely Christian reveals God's profound love and His power to rescue even the most unlikely people from a life of abandonment and darkness. It will leave every reader with a deeper understanding that the promises of God are for those who believe, regardless of color, creed or religion.

The Secret Thoughts of an Unlikely Convert by Rosaria Champagne Butterfield Pdf

"Rosaria, by the standards of many, was living a very good life. She had a tenured position at a large university in a field for which she cared deeply. She owned two homes with her partner, in which they provided hospitality to students and activists that were looking to make a difference in the world. In the community, Rosaria was involved in volunteer work. At the university, she was a respected advisor of students and her department's curriculum. And then, in her late 30s, Rosaria encountered something that turned her world upside down -- the idea that Christianity, a religion that she had regarded as problematic and sometimes downright damaging, might be right about who God was. That idea seemed to fly in the face of the people and causes that she most loved. What follows is a story of what she describes as a train wreck at the hand of the supernatural. These are her secret thoughts about those events, written as only a reflective English professor could."--Back cover.

Essays on Eddic Poetry by John McKinnel,l Donata Kick,John D. Shafer Pdf

Essays on Eddic Poetry presents a selection of important articles on Old Norse literature by noted medievalist John McKinnell. While McKinnell's work addresses many of the perennial issues in the study of Old Norse, this collection has a special focus on the interplay between heathen and Christian world-views in the poems. Among the texts examined are Hávamál, which includes an elegantly cynical poem about Óðinn's sexual intrigues and a more mystical one about his self-sacrifice on the world-tree in order to gain magical wisdom; V?lundarkviða, which recounts an elvish smith's revenge for his captivity and maiming; and Hervararkviða, where the heroine bravely but foolishly raises her dead father to demand the deadly sword Tyrfingr from him. Originally published between 1988 and 2008, these twelve essays cover a wide range of mythological and heroic poems and have been revised and updated to reflect the latest scholarship.

Surprised by Oxford by Carolyn Weber Pdf

"Well written, often poignant and surprisingly relatable." - Kirkus Reviews "A hugely readable journey of cultural and spiritual discovery, sparkling with wit and wisdom." - Alister McGrath "Carolyn Weber's memoir reads like a fast-paced novel. I loved the humor, skillful use of language and her compelling account of her steps to finding God at Oxford. I was totally captivated from beginning to end." - Marilyn Meberg Surprised by Oxford is the memoir of a skeptical agnostic who comes to a dynamic personal faith in God during graduate studies in literature at Oxford University. Carolyn Weber arrives at Oxford a feminist from a loving but broken family, suspicious of men and intellectually hostile to all things religious. As she grapples with her God-shaped void alongside the friends, classmates, and professors she meets, she tackles big questions in search of Truth, love, and a life that matters. From issues of fatherhood, feminism, doubt, doctrine, and love, Weber explores the intricacies of coming to faith with an aching honesty and insight echoing that of the poets and writers she studied. Rich with illustration and literary references, Surprised by Oxford is at once gritty and lyrical; both humorous and spiritually perceptive. This savvy, credible account of Christian conversion and its after-effects follows the calendar year and events of the school year as it entertains, informs, and promises to engage even the most skeptical and unlikely reader. "Surprised by Oxford is a sprightly contribution to the genre of spiritual memoirs in the vein of C.S. Lewis's Surprised by Joy and Lauren F. Winner's Girl Meets God. Carolyn Weber is an unconventional thinker whose engagingly told faith journey will speak to folks who still believe that thoughtful people cannot be Christian." - Lyle W. Dorsett

Jesus - The Lily of the Valley by Crystal David John Pdf

This book Jesus - The Lily of the Valley, is all about Jesus Christ. The flower - The Lily of the Valley is used to represent Jesus' impeccable character, unblemished by sin, and His unwavering commitment to righteousness. He is the embodiment of purity and meekness - humbling Himself to the point of death on the cross. His life and teachings exemplify the values of selflessness and sacrifice. He willingly gave up His own life for the salvation of humanity, demonstrating the ultimate act of love, compassion and humility. The essence of His ministry was the importance of humbleness. His teaching and example during His earthly ministry have always emphasised the significance of viewing oneself as the least among others. This soft blossom serves as a fitting metaphor for this and Jesus is aptly known as the Lily of the Valley. The title of the book highlights Jesus' life as the quintessence of purity, grace, and humility.

“An extraordinary novel . . . a triumph of insight and storytelling.” —Associated Press “A true masterpiece.” —Glennon Doyle, author of Untamed An extraordinary story set in the first century about a woman who finds her voice and her destiny, from the celebrated number one New York Times bestselling author of The Secret Life of Bees and The Invention of Wings In her mesmerizing fourth work of fiction, Sue Monk Kidd takes an audacious approach to history and brings her acclaimed narrative gifts to imagine the story of a young woman named Ana. Raised in a wealthy family with ties to the ruler of Galilee, she is rebellious and ambitious, with a brilliant mind and a daring spirit. She engages in furtive scholarly pursuits and writes narratives about neglected and silenced women. Ana is expected to marry an older widower, a prospect that horrifies her. An encounter with eighteen-year-old Jesus changes everything. Their marriage evolves with love and conflict, humor and pathos in Nazareth, where Ana makes a home with Jesus, his brothers, and their mother, Mary. Ana's pent-up longings intensify amid the turbulent resistance to Rome's occupation of Israel, partially led by her brother, Judas. She is sustained by her fearless aunt Yaltha, who harbors a compelling secret. When Ana commits a brazen act that puts her in peril, she flees to Alexandria, where startling revelations and greater dangers unfold, and she finds refuge in unexpected surroundings. Ana determines her fate during a stunning convergence of events considered among the most impactful in human history. Grounded in meticulous research and written with a reverential approach to Jesus's life that focuses on his humanity, The Book of Longings is an inspiring, unforgettable account of one woman's bold struggle to realize the passion and potential inside her, while living in a time, place and culture devised to silence her. It is a triumph of storytelling both timely and timeless, from a masterful writer at the height of her powers.
