Practical Tools for Healing Ministry That Works When Ed Rocha began
his walk into the healing ministry, he discovered a sad reality:
Not everyone he prayed for was healed, and not everyone who got
healed stayed healed. Armed with faith in the comprehensive work of
the cross of Christ, Rocha began to seek biblical answers for the
conflicting realities. The spiritual tools he discovered will help
you * pave the way for healing through an atmosphere of faith and
love * overcome frustration and failure * offer petitions and
commands effectively * cancel the power of demonic affliction * and
more! If you want to see results when you pray, let this practical
guide help you connect with God's heart and move in His
supernatural power.
Paul Tillich (1886-1965) is widely regarded as one of the most
influential theologians of the 20th century. By bringing his
thought together with the theology and practices of an important
contemporary Christian movement, Pentecostalism, this volume
provokes active, productive, critical, and creative dialogue with a
broad range of theological topics. These essays stimulate robust
conversation, engage on common ground regarding the work of the
Holy Spirit, and offer significant insights into the universal
concerns of Christian theology and Paul Tillich and his legacy.
International Leader Helps Christians Understand and Develop Their
Prophetic Gifting
Prophecy is as old as the Bible. Yet many don't understand--or even
recognize--when and how it happens today. Having taught and
ministered prophetically around the world, Jeremy Lopez has seen
this need firsthand, and he's written this book to clear away the
confusion.
In this down-to-earth, accessible guide, he lays the biblical
foundation for prophecy, showing readers
- why prophecy is still important today
- that "every" Christian has access to God's gift of prophecy
- how believers can be assured they are hearing from God
- how they can develop their prophetic gifting
Clear and concise, this handbook is essential reading for all who
have had--or long for--a brush with the prophetic.
Pentecostalism is one of the most significant modern movements in
global Christianity today. A mixture of ecstatic expression and
earnest piety, metaphysical nuance and embodied spirituality, it is
far more than the stereotype of a supernatural sideshow. In this
presumably secular era, Pentecostalism continues to grow, adapting
to a diverse religious marketplace and becoming more racially and
ethnically diverse. Originally an American phenomenon, it is now a
globe-spanning religion. In this book, Arlene M. Sanchez Walsh
provides a thematic overview of Pentecostalism in America, covering
Pentecostal faith and practices, gender and sexuality, race and
ethnicity, trends and offshoots, and the future of American
Pentecostalism. She also considers Pentecostalism's spiritual
lineages, examining colorful leaders, ordinary adherents, and
prominent outliers, as well as its deep roots in American popular
culture. She examines Pentecostalism as a narrative performance,
aiming to explain what Pentecostalism is through the experiences
and stories of its adherents. Sanchez Walsh treats this Christian
movement with the critical eye it has often lacked, and places it
in context within the larger narrative of American religious
history. An indispensable introduction to Pentecostalism, rich with
insights for experienced readers, Pentecostals in America is an
essential study of a vibrant religious movement.
This collection of insights about The Book of Mormon adds to and
complements the author's legal publications about freedom of
conscience, evidence and comparative constitutional law. The book
includes insights distilled from contemporary anthropology, careful
analysis of the doctrine of resurrection taught in The Book of
Mormon, philosophical questions about the rule of law which inform
life in contemporary society, and how reflection on the pervasive
New Testament intertexuality in The Book of Mormon should increase
the knowledge of modern readers. Important reading for scholars of
religion and faith, and particularly those interested in
understanding the beliefs and practices of members of The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints around the world.
For a generation, the Catholic Church in Brazil has enjoyed
international renown as one of the most progressive social forces
in Latin America. The Church's creation of Christian Base
Communities (CEBs), groups of Catholics who learn to read the Bible
as a call for social justice, has been widely hailed. Still, in
recent years it has become increasingly clear that the CEBs are
lagging far behind the explosive growth of Brazil's two other major
national religious movements--Pentacostalism and Afro-Brazilian
"Umbanda."
On the basis of his extensive fieldwork in Rio di Janeiro,
including detailed life histories of women, blacks, youths, and the
marginal poor, John Burdick offers the first in-depth explanation
of why the radical Catholic Church is losing, and Pentecostalism
and "Umbanda" winning, the battle for souls in urban Brazil.
Stories of the ordinary people who helped build Salt Lake City
emerge from a study of their often humble adobe houses. Rather than
focusing on men and women in positions of power and influence, the
emphasis here is on the lives of people who built their sturdy,
simple homes from mud. A Modest Homestead provides architectural
descriptions of ninety-four extant adobe houses. They are as basic
as the people who built them-small tradesmen and farmers, laborers
and domestics. Author Laurie Bryant discusses the neighbourhoods in
Salt Lake City where adobe houses have survived, often much
renovated and disguised, and she showcases the houses not just as
they appear today but as they were originally built. Almost all the
houses now have additions and improvements, and without some
dissection they are not always recognisable, often being both more
comfortable and pleasant than might have been the case in the
nineteenth century. What emerges through Bryant's research is an
enlarged picture of the roughhewn life of many early Utahns.
Includes 120 historic and contemporary photographs.
A Geography of the Hutterites in North America explores the
geographical diffusion of the Hutterite colonies from the
"bridgehead" of Dakota Territory in 1874 to the present
distribution across North America. Looking further than just maps
of location, this book analyzes the relationship between parent and
daughter colonies as the Hutterite population continues to grow and
examines the role of cultural and demographic forces in determining
the diffusion process. Throughout this geographical analysis, Simon
M. Evans pays due attention to the Hutterites' contribution to the
cultural landscape of the Canadian Prairies and the American Great
Plains, as well as the interactions that the Hutterites have with
the land, including their agricultural success. With over forty
years of research and personal interactions with more than a
hundred Hutterite colonies, Evans offers a unique insight into the
significant role that the Hutterites have in North America, both
currently and historically. This study goes beyond the history,
life, and culture of this communal brotherhood to present a new
geographical analysis that reports on current and ongoing research
within the field. The first narrative to be published regarding
Hutterites in nearly a decade, A Geography of the Hutterites in
North America is a valuable resource for scholars and students
alike.
