We use clich s and catch phrases every day of our lives in every
area of life, including our walk with God. Some of the most common
clich s of the Christian faith are words such as holiness,
wholeness of heart, sanctification, the deeper walk, purity,
cleansing, and Christlikeness. Great clich s, but what do they
mean? What is their context?
Through a reflective engagement with Scripture, The God Plot
invites readers to move beyond these familiar clich s and
participate in something much bigger: the narrative of God with its
unique setting, divine call, dilemma, heightening dilemma, and
resolution.
The reader will be introduced to two dominant voices in the
Bible that imaginatively and creatively unfold the plot of God: the
prophetic voice and the priestly voice. Throughout The God Plot,
readers will be invited to leave the spectator's balcony of
familiar clich s and become participants in what God is doing in
the world and desires to do in the lives of believers.

The author of "The Gospel of" "Inclusion" continues to rouse
organized religion as he raises controversial issues and provides
enlightening answers to the deepest questions about God and faith.
What is God? Where is God? Who is the one true God? Questions such
as these have driven a thousand human struggles, through war,
terrorism, and oppression. Humanity has responded by branching off
into multiple religions, including Christianity, Judaism,
Islam--each one pitted against the other. But it doesn't have to be
that way.
In "God Is Not a Christian, nor a Jew, Muslim, Hindu" . . ., the
provocative and acclaimed Bishop Carlton Pearson follows up on his
celebrated first book, "The Gospel of Inclusion," to tackle these
questions and many more, exploring new ideas about God and faith
and putting forth the stunning assertion that God belongs to no
particular religion but is an ever-loving presence available to
all. For these beliefs, Bishop Pearson lost his thriving
Pentecostal ministry but was catapulted instead into a greater
pulpit. His readership has grown through appearances on national
television and an extensive speaking schedule. With the world in
the midst of a holy war, there is no better time for the wisdom of
Bishop Pearson to reach a global audience.
Bishop Pearson's many loyal fans, along with new readers, will
surely welcome this provocative and eye-opening exploration of a
deeper faith, one that goes far beyond any fundamentalist way of
thinking, be it Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, etc. Simply put,
Bishop Pearson dares to tell the truth so many others are too
afraid to face.

Nehemiah's life continues to serve as a significant model for
leaders in the 21st century, even though he lived and served over
2500 years ago. From his beginnings as a cupbearer to the king to
taking charge of rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem, he teaches us a
remarkably uncommon thing--how to lead as a servant. In Becoming
Nehemiah, David McKenna invites the reader to join this remarkable
man of God on a journey of leadership that matches the trials and
challenges leaders face today. Through Nehemiah's story, one
recognizes the difficult task of balancing the promises of biblical
leadership with the premises of secular leadership and learns how
Nehemiah was able to serve with full integrity in both of these
settings. Becoming Nehemiah will give pastors, church leaders,
teachers, business professionals, or leaders of any kind compelling
insights and practical advice as they begin their own journey to
become servants who lead with significance. Becoming Nehemiah
offers: Information and insight into the life of Nehemiah Practical
exercises at the end of each chapter to assist in developing one's
own journey regardless of the level of position he or she holds
Scripture references, illustrations, and relevant examples that
help to bring Nehemiah's story into the 21st century

The subject of the Bible's last book is often met with fear, awe,
and fascination. In fact, the true meaning of Revelation is so
often interpreted or speculated on by authors, ministers, or
academics, that very few individuals actually study the book
themselves. The literal meaning of Revelation, in Greek, is 'an
unveiling.' Allow yourself to be engaged in God's vision of hope
and promise for the faithful, obedient Christian and discover what
truths Revelation will unveil in your own life. Part 1 contains the
first 11 chapters of the book. Part 2 contains the last 11. Paper.
