I wonder what the Samaritan woman who met Jesus at Jacob's Well was like. What were the circumstances that led to her being there, drawing water in the heat of the day? The New Testament does not give us much background on the people involved in some of the familiar stories. This book brings those characters to life by letting the reader imagine what their life might have been like. Consider Joseph as a man wondering how he got himself into a situation where he and his pregnant wife were traveling to Bethlehem. What happened at the birth of Jesus from the perspective of another guest in the Inn? Did the jailer in Philippi have a son? If he did, how might he have viewed the events that happened while Paul was a prisoner? A Centurion had a servant who was ill. What was the relationship between the Centurion and the servant? How did the Centurion happen to get sent to Galilee? These stories take New Testament stories as a starting place and consider a different possibility. They will challenge you to think again about the people who might have met Jesus in person.
Recent arguments surrounding the meaning and message of the Qur'an often focus on whether or not it supports or exhorts violence. Such arguments, though, tend to ignore the fact that the scriptures found there speak to various aspects of life and living. The Qur'anic Narrative attempts to show that the Qur'an has an inspiring message that aims to enlighten the path of those who embrace it and guides them through the journey of life. Exploring various themes related to everyday experiences, Safi reveals the meaning of the Qur'an with regard to issues of spirit, faith, charity, patience, fasting, salvation, pride, charity, moral discipline, and other relevant topics. In an attempt to recapture the Islamic spirit promoted in the Qur'an, this book offers an approach that speaks to areas of life many people are concerned about. It pastes together a narrative that is more consistent and more representative of the overall Qur'anic message, which, the author contends, is ultimately one of peace and hope. Safi places the Qur'an in context, too, by examining its meaning to early recipients of the scriptures and its place in that particular social and historical context. He continues by updating that meaning for modern readers and adherents, relating the intended meaning to an evolving human audience and to contemporary experiences. The author contends that extremist readings are misinterpretations and that those who may view the Qur'an as a holy text that encourages, even demands, violence are incorrect. Ultimately, readers will come away from this work with a broader appreciation of the Qur'an and its intended meaning and message.

"Mind Bungee Jumping went through several titles before I settled on this one. The title seems to fit what I was trying to accomplish by writing this book. I am told that when you are bungee jumping you are filled with anxiety, exhilaration, you get a rush and your adrenalin starts pumping. It feels as if you are jumping into the unknown, yet you are attached to reality. The rope or material that keeps you from falling, also springs you back to reality and ensures that your feet will eventually touch the ground. However, the feeling of weightlessness, flying though the air, having no worries and seeing the world from high above are the same feelings I get from writing. Material included in this book sends the message that your imagination is the one thing of beauty that you can make individually yours and you can touch the rainbow.
Are you one of the chosen? Scripture states that "many are called but few are chosen" (Matthew 22:14). - Abraham was chosen. - Samuel was chosen. - Deborah was chosen. - King David was chosen. - Queen Esther was chosen. - John the Baptist was chosen. - Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was chosen. - Paul was chosen. The chosen can be found throughout the Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelations, along with countless others who have been chosen for this generation. These individuals are relentless, driven, and in hot pursuit of the glory of God, desiring only to fulfill the will of God. Have you been called and chosen for your generation? Have you been chosen to carry the end-time anointing and do exploits in Jesus' name? If your answer is yes, then add your name to the list of the chosen. "But ye are a chosen generation ..." (I Peter 2:9).
Are you locked up, locked out, and pressured by the way the governing powers are forcing their will on you? Are you fed up with where the circumstances of life are taking you? Are you feeling the pressure of the cares and uncertain security in the society in which you live? God, our heavenly Father, has a plan to rescue you from this evil world in which you live (Galatians 1:4). There is another kingdom that God has prepared for those who believe in His Son, Jesus Christ. In this kingdom, it is possible to live in peace, above the cares of life. Many today are searching for answers to the weary life and present-day pressures. The purpose of Jesus' coming was to give every believer a rich and satisfying life (John 10:10). Learning to live in God's kingdom, while continuing to deal with the corruption of an evil world, is a miracle that comes only by the abundant grace of God, His divine influence being applied to one's spirit, soul, and body. Here, Dr. Lewis seeks to introduce you to God's fundamental nature, qualities, attributes, and characteristics, and the ability of the believer, under the power of the Holy Spirit, to live by the precepts of His kingdom and overcome the works of darkness.
This book is a biblical approach to the recovery from obsessions. The obsessions can be as minor as fishing too often or as major as full blown addictions to drugs. The point is that Jesus Christ gave us guidelines on how to moderate and on how to be healed when necessary from these obsessions. The outline from Matthew in the New Testament is where Jesus teaches us the format for recovery. It is why he starts with being "poor in spirit" and ends in being persecuted for your beliefs. This simple outline from Matthew 5: 1-12 is where basically all recovery programs have their origin, and I have included in the back of the book a chapter titled "The beatitudes and their correlation to the twelve steps." It is the premise of this work to bring clarity to the truth that has always been in God's Word. It is a work that reads well and was a pleasant task to write. I hope you will enjoy as well as benefit from its pages. Thank you for your consideration and for taking the time to read this brief edit. Dennis Wright
Raised in a biased family where wrath ruled; finally settling into the arms of her high-school sweetheart in matrimony, only to later be torn apart by a devastating divorce, came his confession of a long-held secret-only years after their blessed reconciliation and conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. A Travesty and a Triumph of Love is an odyssey in faith and learning, as one LDS convert comes to work with the Lord Himself, to find the son she never knew.
The process of finding ones self, or self worth becomes tedious, when there is no one there to direct or to give instruction of purpose and destiny; or mainly the identity, of the person with the crisis. Prophet Rodney will testify that when he experienced the disarray of life, there was much unexplained emotional pain. Feelings of repeated rejection, molested at age eight by a very close family member. He became overwhelmed with life and the uncertainty that it brings. Avenues of promiscuity opened and were vastly available. Many times we in the Body of Christ compromise the word of God through conversations with satanic voices of rebellion assigned to us from Satan. Satan has assigned voices to cause us to fall from the will of God in disobedience of the Word known to us. Satan desires to lead you to see opposite of what God wants you to see; and that strips us from position, of such is what happened to him (Satan).
Whether you are seeking a closer relationship with God, or just want to know what unfolds through the pages of this book, Have You Talked about God Today? can guide you to the place where you can find reassurance and gain the insight to know that you have the key to releasing yourself from every desolate place in your life.

Ephesians tells us what God has given to us by grace, because of His own devotion toward His family, to involve us in His glory. Unlike the other epistles, Ephesians does not chide the Church for anything. It is concerned with informing us about the richness of eternal life and inheritance that has been bestowed on us by the generosity of God. Ephesians gives us a unique look at the heart of God and how marvelously He has set it up for us in His family and His Kingdom to share in His wisdom, His power, and His love because that is what He wanted to do. We have not deserved it and we have not invoked it by our actions or our faith. God has done it all because it pleased Him to do it. We are accepted in the beloved family of God because He has made us to be accepted. Ephesians proceeds to tell us what this language means in terms of our lives and relationship to God now. The magnitude of this grace and glory is staggering: |
