Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - - It is markedly notable that the author uses the term 'Biblical principle' to indicate a verse is going to be shared. This subtly communicates to the reader, whether Christian or not, that the Scriptures are not stories or ideas, but principles on which to base our characters, decisions and actions. - The author shares that his father and stepfather did not lead him spiritually, and in so doing creates a bond with the audience. The topic of this book is a sensitive subject, and people tend to assume that those who speak about godly father figures are those who had one. By including himself in the audience, the author demonstrates that this book is coming from a unique angle that holds credibility. - The author's clarity in drawing concrete correlations between social problems and the state of one's spirituality is invaluable. Many feel Christianity is airy, and often are told they need to pray or have faith, which sounds abstract and unrealistic. The author discusses real life scenarios and suggests changes in behavior for the reader who sincerely wants to have a better life.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In a voice of stark reality and sincere intrigue, Cynthia Lang builds upon a personal legacy left to her in nine spectacular journeys. A legacy may be handed on as a fortune or formidable debt, baseball cards, antique autos, or vermeil coffee spoons. In her collection of short stories it becomes apparent: a legacy is not always so tangible. 'Devoid of weight, of volume, some [legacies] take up no room at all. On a journey, for instance, nothing may change hands but tickets. On the other hand.' Traveling through the lives of intriguing and oftentimes enlightening characters, Lang spins a wonderfully interconnected world for the reader to consider: nine characters, each inheriting a legacy and collectively handing one on to the reader, composed of remnants from past lives, a natural history that has the power to reveal current truths and predict future realities. 'Having known what such adversity is, I can appreciate the distress you are in,' begins Sarah Carlisle's own legacy, written in the 1800s--what will be yours.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - PHILIP FISHMAN grew up in the Brooklyn Jewish neighborhood of Williamsburg during the 1950s, when the community experienced a large influx of Hasidic Jewish refugees from Eastern Europe and the neighborhood evolved from a multi-ethnic Jewishly heterodox community similar to 'Jewish' areas in other parts of New York City into a tightly knit re-invention of an ultra-pious East European shtetl. The culture and values of the new arrivals often conflicted sharply with the older community. The fault lines of this kulturkampf were the context of his childhood-and these memoirs vividly describe the personal, familial, and communal tensions associated with this social transformation. Williamsburg's metamorphosis into an exclusively haredi enclave was the first of its kind in the United States, but this neighborhood's profound makeover, with the associated community discord, was soon echoed in many other American locales and is occurring in many Israeli communities. The post-war transformation of Williamsburg foreshadowed a dramatic and ongoing transformation of American Orthodoxy and-more broadly- American Jewish life in the 21st century.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Prisons are an institutional altar God has placed in communities all around us. In this book, the author is giving an invitation for the outside churches to minister in such a way that Jesus can say: I was in prison and you came to me.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Great Conversion takes a hard look at the truth behind the unyielding depravities that plague America with a special focus on the African American culture. Many professed believers think they have a personal faith walk with God, yet cannot understand why tribulations persist in their personal lives and their communities. This book exposes that there are many who have professed belief in God's Messiah, but, their faith is integrated with false spiritual and political dogma, true repentance from their sinful nature eludes them. Thus, a counterfeit faith is born. However, this book directs the reader to Biblical truth and will show God's perspective in regards to society's errors about moral issues; therefore, helping professed Christians see where they are in error, and where their loyalties ought to lie. Consequently, true holiness will be achieved. God will be [positively] provoked to intercede for those who were once deceived, resulting in genuine salvation, harmony and godly prosperity. David L. Brown has lived in historic Charles City County, Virginia most of his life.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In Behind the Curtain 2, author Marc LeVitre pulls back the curtain once again to reveal the Truth as seen in mainstream movies. These films have been chosen because they have impacted LeVitre on a spiritual level. He delves into such themes as coming-of-age, dealing with the cruel world, sports, the despicable, and Disney. LeVitre also analyzes film that should have been in the first book but were not because they were then too complicated or were not on his radar, and he adds to and/or corrects comments made in the first book. LeVitre, in most cases, ties films to Scripture. However, his Holy Spirit again has led him to explore areas of his life in a few instances. The author had believed the first book would be the last, for about a week. Then God inundated him with what appears in this volume. Since the beginning, LeVitre, a pastor's son, has been looking for the moral of the story, and by doing so, has been entertained, but more importantly, has been enlightened. LeVitre has been proud to call New Hampshire home since 1968.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - We are living in a world where people are getting married and divorced almost instantaneously. They are married today, and divorced tomorrow. Some have turned it into a craze and are marrying just because it is the popular thing to do. But they do not weigh the importance and sanctity of this honorable institution. Added to all of this, many marriages are being invaded by infidelity, Hollywood, the Internet, self-centeredness, greed, and pride, when they really should be occupied with fidelity, sharing, selflessness, humility, love and service. They are no longer about sharing, but all about egotism and personal fortification, no longer about commitment, but about our personal autonomy. They are no longer about what the Bible says is right, but about our rights. They are no longer about holiness, but about our personal gratification. They are no longer about making sacrifices and holding on but about our liberty to surrender and quit at the slightest provocation. This book takes a closer look at the relationship Christ, the Head, has with His Church/ His Bride, for in it are all the components for a successful marriage. In fact, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the Apostle Paul tells us that the relationship that Christ shares with His Church should be mirrored in the relationship husbands should have with their wives (see Ephesians 5:22-33). If marriages are a representation of Christ's, the Bridegroom's, relationship with His Church, the Bride, then everything that we need for a godly and successful marriage is evident in that relationship. This book offers sound, time-tested biblical precepts and practical steps that guarantee you a fail-safe, or foolproof, marriage once your marriage relationship mirrors the relationship Christ has with His Church.
