Carolyn Vargas has been writing music for years, bringing
inspiration and encouragement to her listeners. Now Carolyn has
written a companion book to her latest album release, Lord of the
Seasons. Through the pages of this book, Carolyn takes us on a
journey through the many seasons of life, sharing her own life
experiences, as well as the inspiration and events that gave birth
to the songs she has written for her newly released album. Carolyn
writes with great candor, baring her soul, exposing her own
vulnerabilities, and sharing from her heart the joys and the
sorrows that brought her to this place in life. From the miracle of
having a child, to the devastation of a broken marriage, Carolyn
reminds us that Christ Jesus is our redeemer, and there is no
situation and no circumstance that He cannot redeem. From the first
breath of life until the very last, God is faithful and has a
wonderful plan for each person as they journey through the seasons
of life.
This book explores some key biblical principles of the kingdom of
God and relates them to some (very) basic math. It draws on
geometry and divinity to come up with some innovative practical
theorems that are sure to titillate your mind and spirit. Put your
thinking hat on Once you are born again, you are expected to grow
through: faithfulness, obedience, observing, and doing God's Word.
I call it "FOOD for growth," "GrowthFOOD," or simply "GFOOD." Eat,
and live The book teaches that everyone has a life cycle. We all
have shelf lives, use-by dates, and best-before dates. Are you past
your use-by date? Furthermore, this book unveils a secret hidden in
1 Corinthians 12:31. Having church on the basis of spiritual gifts
is excellent, but God expects his children to put into practice the
agape love in its unconditional sense-the same way God loves us:
the more excellent way. Ever heard of the Pythagoras theorem?
Unveiling the connection between the Triune God and the tripartite
man (both 3 in 1), the book takes you through what I call the
intricacies of divine geometry, some interesting mental and
spiritual gymnastics. Every human being is a triangle, the
equilateral triangle being the standard of all shapes. Moving from
Pythagoras theorem to what I call masochagoras theorems, you are
sure to find out what type of triangle you are The book also
explores the meaning of numbers. Discover their significance in
your life. Some masochagoras theorems to do with numbers are
proposed. Enjoy the intricacies of divine algebra. True worship
happens when the human equilateral triangle connects in agape love
with the divine equilateral triangle. Let God's kingdom come in
your life. Apply the proposed masochagoras theorems and enjoy life
in the kingdom-forever
Grieving, Brooding, and Transforming: The Spirit, The Bible, and
Gender is a collection of scholarly essays by Pentecostal women. It
explores troubling biblical texts, as well as those of contemporary
church life, in regards to the portrayal of women. The authors seek
to identify the presence and work of the Spirit that is often
hidden within the contours of these texts. A Pentecostal feminist
hermeneutic desires to move beyond suspicion into the deeper
terrain of the Spirit's mission of grieving, brooding, and
transforming a broken world. The essays point to the purposes of
God toward justice and the healing of creation.
Responsible Management in Theory and Practice in Muslim Societies
delineates principles of responsible management from an Islamic
perspective, exploring the concept of responsibility in Islamic
religious texts, and how the understanding of responsibility
evolved in Islamic jurisprudence. He explains aspects of individual
and group responsibility in Islam and the dissonance between
theoretical discourse and practical application. Yusuf M. Sidani
focuses on the factors that have both facilitated and hampered the
application of responsible management principles in practice in
this unique context. Themes explored across the book include
Islamic texts and responsible leadership, responsibility in Islamic
jurisprudence, individual and group responsibilities, and bridging
the gap divide between theory and practice in Muslim societies.
Sidani also poses proactive questions, including 'Who is a
responsible manager?' and 'what does it take to reaffirm both
individual and collective responsibilities', and 'whether things
can be put back on track again in Muslim societies, and how?'
In 2004, Jim McKinley contracted Guillain-Barre syndrome. He was
trapped inside himself with only slight movements to acknowledge
conversation. Many saw him during this time and believed the end
was at hand, but God had other plans. Jim did survive and now tells
you about his journey. He dealt with pain and demons and was
rescued by angels and describes the angel who hovered near his bed
one day. He teaches us of God's love, the importance of family and
friends, and much more.
When a woman from Samaria comes to draw water at Jacob's well,
Jesus, known prophetically as Shiloh, Prince of Peace, offers her
an incredible gift-living water. All she has to do is ask, which,
by the way, still applies today. Jesus explains that everyone who
drinks from His well, even those of questionable character like
her, will never be thirsty again, and the water will become a
spring welling up to eternal life (NIV). In Shiloh's Well you can
read all about an overflowing, abundant life that is available to
all those who drink of this miraculous living water. "My prayer is
that these pages will proclaim a clear, unequivocal message of
eternal hope and spiritual truth pointing to the God who has
sustained and blessed me my entire life. May Shiloh's Well make you
smile, touch your heart, lead you humbly to the feet of Christ,
enlighten your spiritual understanding, and challenge your
commitment to Christian service "
