Tracing Africa's history through the framework of the Holy Bible
and of broader scholarship, this remarkable book uncovers the
original Africans, their relationships with Ancient Greece, Israel,
Mesopotamia and beyond, from the Patriarchs on through to the New
Testament...The book asks what the world can learn from the new
Pentecostal Churches, and considering the growth of AQIM, BOKO
HARAM and ISIS, it shows the uneasy relationship between Islam and
Christianity in Africa.
In this challenging book, the leading exponents of the idea that
all religions are a refraction of a truth no single tradition can
exclusively reveal, discuss what to make of that conviction in
today's world of inter-religious strife. New in this book is the
inclusion of authors from a variety of traditions, including John
Hick, Rita Gross, Arvind Sharma, Roger Haight, Dan Cohn-Sherbok,
and Mahmut Aydin. The authors try to make the case that the next
step in inter-religious interchange ought to be the development of
a multi-faith, pluralistic theology of religion.
This first volume in The Three Volume Lectionary covers Proper of
Seasons and Sundays in Ordinary Time. These readings were
officially approved by The Roman Catholic Church in 1981 and
confirmed by Decree of the Sacred Congregation for Divine Worship
in the Vatican. It carries the Imprimatur of the English Bishops'
Conference. This is the Second Editio Typica. The book includes the
two prescribed readings at Sunday Mass as well as the Gospel of the
day. The appointed Psalms are also included. The book follows the
Church's Year - starting with Advent, Christmas, The Season of
Lent, The Easter Triduum, The Season of Easter and Feasts of the
Lord in Ordinary Time.
This is the second volume of a practical and readable introduction
to the Psalms which effectively unfolds the text and meaning as
songs for the people of God. The expositions represent Michael
Wilcock's attempts over many years to unfold God's Word to real
people confronting the raw questions of life in the church and in
the world. He sees the Psalter as a collection, an anthology, a
hymnal, a book of songs. It is full of pictures that show us a
variety of places in a land of spiritual experience. In his view it
is important for Christians today to appropriate the range of human
emotion that is embodied in the Psalms. We also need their
imaginative vitality. The book will be helpful in using the Psalms
in church services, and includes an exposition of every Psalm, long
or short, familiar or neglected. The Bible Speaks Today series
covers every book of the Old and New Testaments, as well as Bible
themes that run through the whole of Scripture. These revised
editions are updated with contemporary language and Bible
translations to help you to follow and to teach the Bible in
today's world.
The message of Revelation speaks to Christians for all times, and
historically has especially encouraged persecuted groups. Today
Christians in many parts of the world are also at opposition to the
worldview of the time. Revelation gives strength to those who are
oppressed, and John R. Yeatts' commentary attends to themes of
martyrdom, suffering, service in the world, hope, the triumph of
Christ, and the role of the church in bearing witness to the
triumphant Christ. The commentary includes clear biblical
commentary, relationships between various portions of Scripture,
and applications drawn from the Anabaptist tradition and the larger
Christian community. 304 Pages.
Leader of the popular women's ministry She Speaks Fire, Mariela
Rosario shares her story of abandonment and drug use to emphasize
her powerful message of overcoming shame so that readers can
embrace their purpose and live boldly in the love of Jesus. In She
Speaks Fire, spoken word poet Mariela Rosario vulnerably shares her
testimony of being abandoned as a child, which led to intense
people pleasing and subsequent drug use. Then, alone in her house
in 2015, she experienced a miraculous encounter with God that
prompted her to turn away from those damaging patterns and begin
attending church. As her relationship with Jesus deepened, she
launched a full-time ministry, She Speaks Fire, which helps other
women face their past failures and overcome feelings of shame so
that they, too, can live fully and unapologetically for God and
walk in their God-given purpose. Unpacking the biblical story of
the garden of Eden in Genesis, Rosario reveals the seven areas
where shame did not exist in the garden, which are the exact areas
where believers are spiritually attacked today: Communion with God
Identity in God Community with others Purpose or work Dependence on
God Affirmation in or by God Boundaries from God By identifying the
origins of their own shame--and the ways shame blocks them from
living an authentic life--readers will then be able to embrace the
four steps to overcoming unhealthy shame patterns. When they begin
to own their story, they will be able to give God glory and
encourage others who are seeking freedom in him. Then they can
embrace being bold for Christ and spread his love far and wide.
Jordan's Demeanours tells the history of UK gospel music since The
Windrush - 1948 when West Indians arrived in the UK on empire
windrush to the present day. It not only tells about UK gospel but
black history for the same period.
What have Atheists, Christians and Muslims and all other categories
in the human race got in common? Why - despite our shared humanity
- do so many of us get involved in clashes about religion? And why
do some of us even fight and kill each other? What do you
understand by the world 'God'? Are humans the creatures of God or
is 'God' the invention of mankind? How can we make sense of 'God'
in a suffering world? And finally, why do we need to talk and
listen to each other. The author considers these and many other
questions posed by the menacing social and political breakdown in
our fragile world 'community'.
Numerous writers and composers have been captivated by the
suggestiveness of Jesus' Seven Last Words. But Richard John
Neuhaus's sustained exploration of these utterances is something
altogether different. Through them he plumbs the depths of human
experience and sets forth the central narrative of Western
civilization-the suffering, death, and resurrection of Christ-in a
way that engages the attention of believers, unbelievers, and those
who are not sure what they believe. Death on a Friday Afternoon is
an invitation to the reader into a spiritual and intellectual
exploration of the dark side of human experience with the promise
of light and life on the far side of darkness.

For centuries people have been tormented by one question above all
– ‘If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his
creatures to suffer pain?’ And what of the suffering of animals,
who neither deserve pain nor can be improved by it? The greatest
Christian thinker of our time sets out to disentangle this knotty
issue. With his signature wealth of compassion and insight, C.S.
Lewis offers answers to these crucial questions and shares his hope
and wisdom to help heal a world hungry for a true understanding of
human nature.
'Vanity of vanities', says the Preacher, 'Vanity of vanities! All
is vanity'. Is that what life is? A wisp of vapour, a puff of wind,
a mere breath - nothing you can get your hands on - the nearest
thing to zero? So says the Preacher in the book of Ecclesiastes.
But is this the whole message of Ecclesiastes? With imagination and
clarity Derek Kidner introduces this Old Testament book which
speaks so powerfully to our generation. His love of Hebrew poetry
and his understanding of the biblical mind shine through in his
careful passage-by-passage exposition. The Bible Speaks Today
series covers every book of the Old and New Testaments, as well as
Bible themes that run through the whole of Scripture. These revised
editions are updated with contemporary language and Bible
translations to help you to follow and to teach the Bible in
today's world.
The culmination of William James' interest in the psychology of
religion, "The Varieties of Religious Experience" approached the
study of religious phenomena in a new way -- through pragmatism and
experimental psychology. The most important effect of the
publication of the Varieties was to shift the emphasis in this
field of study from the dogmas and external forms of religion to
the unique mental states associated with it. Explaining the book's
intentions in a letter to a friend, James stated:
"The problem I have set myself is a hard one: first, to
defend...'experience' against 'philosophy' as being the real
backbone of the world's religious life...and second, to make the
hearer or reader believe what I myself invincibly do believe, that,
although all the special manifestations of religion may have been
absurd (I mean its creeds and theories), yet the life of it as a
whole is mankind's most important function."
Drawing evidence from his own experience and from such diverse
thinkers as Voltaire, Whitman, Emerson, Luther, Tolstoy, John
Bunyan, and Jonathan Edwards, "The Varieties of Religious
Experience" remains one of the most influential books ever written
on the psychology of religion.

How much do you know about the end of the world? In The 50 Final
Events in World History, beloved and respected pastor Robert J.
Morgan takes readers on a journey through end-times prophecy,
walking step-by-step through the end of the world to the dawn of
the new kingdom of heaven. Heard of worldwide pandemics? Weapons of
mass destruction flashing through the air? Global water and air

Air evacuations with machines having two wings? Threats from Russia
and Asia? Extremism in Turkey? Clamor for globalization? Hand
implants for commerce and security? The gospel penetrating
unreached places? Violent persecution? Cascading wickedness? The
world falling apart? All of this is predicted in the book of
Revelation. If you find yourself baffled and maybe even a little
intimidated by end times and the book of Revelation, The 50 Final
Events in World History will be a comprehensive yet
easy-to-understand overview of the book of Revelation, resource you
can turn to again and again, helpful tool that translates the
events of Revelation both literally and sequentially, and guide to
interpret present circumstances as well as future events.
Revelation is the Bible's final words on the world's last days. The
key is understanding its simple sequence of events–one after
another, clearly laid out–the fifty final events in world
history. This is information we need to know now since we might
soon be on the doorstep of event #1.
Bill Vincent is an ordinary man with an extraordinary God. If what
has happened to him is as great as he tells his story, then you
know it will be visitations from above like no other. This book,
Glory: Pursuing God's Presence, is one of three book series that
are all about finding God and His presence. One day in 2008, Bill
pressed into God with the attitude like I am going to get something
from God. In so many ways, he was much like a wining child trying
to get a toy from his parent. The feeling Bill felt that day was
like being rescued in the desert after days with no drink. What
began to happen to Bill has changed his life forever. Bill got to a
place he couldn't wait to press in. It was like a romance between
him and God. He was now in love with God. Bill would run up the
stairs like I couldn't wait any longer to be with Him.
"Sundin shines in her newest novel. Her craft is inimitable, and
her literary finesse radiates from every page."--Booklist starred
review When the Germans march into Denmark, Baron Henrik Ahlefeldt

waters to Sweden. American physicist Dr. Else Jensen refuses to
leave Copenhagen and abandon her research--her life's dream. While
printing resistance newspapers, she hears stories of the movement's
legendary Havmand--the merman--and wonders if the mysterious and
silent shipyard worker living in the same boardinghouse has
something to hide. When the Occupation cracks down on the Danes,
these two passionate people will discover if there is more power in
speech . . . or in silence. Bestselling author of more than a dozen
WWII novels, Sarah Sundin offers pens another story of ordinary
people responding to extraordinary circumstances with faith,
fortitude, and hope for a brighter future. "Sundin grounds this
suspenseful tale in rich historical detail."--Publishers Weekly
