Holy Fear is not a topic you'll hear much about these days. But if you
want to build a faith that stands strong through troubled times, you
cannot afford to ignore this book.
In The Awe of God: The Astounding Way A Healthy Fear Of God Transforms
Your Life, John Bevere invites you to take a fresh look at what it
means to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. This healthy,
holy, and largely forgotten virtue is the uncommon path to a more
fulfilled and fruitful life.
In this book you will see why godly fear is the foundation of:
• Wisdom, understanding, and knowledge
• Foresight, clarity, and divine direction
• Maturity and conformity to the image of Jesus Christ
• Building an eternal legacy
• Confidence, fearlessness, and security
• Freedom from the fear of man as all lesser fears are eclipsed
If you look at the men and women in Scripture, the ones who lived and
finish well all have one thing in common: they are marked by holy fear.
The Awe of God was designed to be read slowly and intentionally. At the
end of each of the 42 chapters are five tools to help you deepen your
understanding and apply what the Spirit of God is teaching you.
Experience the intimate relationship with God that you have always
longed for by unlocking this countercultural message.
A coming-of-age travel memoir that probes thorny spiritual
questions while taking the reader on a wild ride from the deep
American South to the Middle East, Europe, and the Far East. Once
the golden girl of her Arkansas town, Natalie finds herself
squeezed under small town shame and rejection after being kicked
out of church for getting a divorce. It's a hard fall off of a
sanctimonious high horse, and religious fundamentalism has left her
feeling broken and stuck. But she can't shake the 'wanderlust woes'
that have plagued her since childhood, so she runs away to the
Middle East. As a mostly-sheltered Southerner, she struggles to
adapt but is determined to be 'at home' in the world. Her journey
is more than a pilgrimage, it's a peregrination: a one-way ticket
to elsewhere in search of the place of her own resurrection. Within
these pages is a suspenseful adventure filled with love, loss,
laughter, tears, and a little bit of scandalous behavior, but at
the heart of it, Natalie walks squarely into the unknown to
confront the secret matters of the soul that we wrestle with at
night.

Across the 30,000 or so varieties of Christianity, believers
universally love Jesus. They have no trouble accepting his humanity
and his divinity. Many express intimations of his close presence in
their lives; a fear of his judgment and wrath as well as a love of
his compassion; a justification for their worldviews and politics
(of all persuasions), and firm convictions about his atonement for
their sins and thus his centrality in their personal salvation.
But
who is Christ?
Is Christ simply Jesus's last name, denoting his
role as saviour of humanity, as messiah? What is Christ? How is his
function or role different from Jesus's? Are we missing something
fundamental because of our overwhelming emphasis on Jesus to the
exclusion of the Christ, or our misunderstanding of what it means
that Jesus was `the Christ'? Could it be that such limited views
are contributing to the slow and painful erosion of Christianity in
western culture, to its insularity and insistence on purity and
exclusion?
These are questions Fr Richard Rohr has been pondering
for many years. In his ecumenical and scripturally grounded books
on contemplation, mysticism and many more topics, he has emphasized
the importance of a large framework for understanding the nature of
'what is' and what lasts, of unity and the ultimate reality of
God's presence in all of creation-Christian and non-Christian,
human and non-human.
Could it be that Jesus, who is the Christ, is
offering us a model and example on how to live inside `this Big
Frame?'
Exodus is the Rosetta stone for unlocking the Old Testament and the
thread of redemption throughout Scripture. The exodus served as the
primary model of God’s idea of redemption, not just in the Old
Testament but even in the New, where it is used as one of the keys to
understanding the meaning of the cross of Christ. Over six sessions,
participants in this Bible study will walk through the first 15
chapters of Exodus. You’ll relive the experience as God hears the cries
of His people and responds by sending a deliverer, ultimately giving us
a pattern for recognizing His work in the world. (6 sessions)
Session Topics:
• Problem
• Deliverer
• Discouragement
• Deliverance
• Redemption
• Worship
