Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Written for 7-11 year olds, this playful guide appeals to kids who want to know more about what adults are telling them is a serious time. Without talking down to them, and challenging them to learn and do more, the following topics are explored in detail: What Lent Is, What Lent Definitely Is Not, 40 Days of Survival Tactics, and A Few Prayers and Practices -- Only for Kids.From What Lent Definitely Is Not: People easily become confused on this subject. In fact, we're glad you are reading this book, because we want to set you, at least, straight. You can then please set others straight.Lent is not about giving up silly things. It is not about making sad faces to show how difficult life has suddenly become for you. (Need we start explaining how most of the world would think that giving up candy bars or soda for 40 days sounds just plain silly? According to Bread for the World, 925 million people around the world go hungry each day. So please don't talk about the terrible hardship you are undergoing by giving up M&M's and Coca-Cola for a few weeks.)So instead of focusing on what you may give up, take time to consider why you may do it. You give stuff up for Lent because you want to become a better Christian. You are testing yourself -- and allowing God to test you -- to see if, by giving up something that maybe you are too focused on in everyday life, you can concentrate more on him.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Discover an ancient and vibrant approach to reading scripture--the rich tradition of Jewish Midrash. Midrash invites us to search the Bible for what is unfamiliar and unclear, and to wrestle with the text, those burning words, trusting the God of the Bible will meet us there. Midrash is a Hebrew word meaning to search out. This ancient, Jewish method for interpreting the Bible searches not for what is familiar but for what is unfamiliar, not for what's clear but for what's unclear, and then wrestles with the text, passionately, playfully, and reverently. Midrash views the Bible as one side of a conversation, started by God, containing an implicit invitation to keep the conversation going. Kunst invites the reader to explore Midrash for the first time through a conversation, at times humorous, reflective and poetic, offering practical suggestions for personal Midrash-making along the way.…
