Book Description
Zealous faith can have a dangerous, dark side. While recent calls for radical Christians have challenged many to be more passionate about their faith, the down side can be a budding arrogance and self-righteousness that “accidentally” sneaks into our outlook. In Accidental Pharisees, bestselling author Larry Osborne diagnoses nine of the most common traps that can ensnare Christians on the road to a deeper life of faith. Rejecting attempts to turn the call to follow Christ into a new form of legalism, he shows readers how to avoid the temptations of pride, exclusivity, legalism, and hypocrisy, Larry reminds us that attempts to fan the flames of full-on discipleship and call people to Christlikeness should be rooted in love and humility. Christians stirred by calls to radical discipleship, but unsure how to respond, will be challenged and encouraged to develop a truly Christlike zeal for God.
An Accidental Christ
Author: Lon Milo DuQuette
Publisher: Llewellyn Worldwide
ISBN: 0738773611
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 191
Book Description
A Groundbreaking and Irreverent Retelling of the Story of Jesus In this newly revised and expanded edition, bestselling author Lon Milo DuQuette draws on modern scholarship and his depth of occult wisdom to bring you a story unlike any other. This provocative novel, told from the perspective of Jesus's uncle Clopas, sheds new light on ancient questions. Jesus's charismatic teachings, his healing ability, and his miracles brought him fame, adoration, resentment, and ultimately death (or did they?). Interweaving biblical quotes with historical facts and speculation, DuQuette immerses you in a thought-provoking tale that presents a plausible case for how distorted the Jesus myth may have become. Who really was Jesus? King of the Jews? Son of God? Or simply a man caught up in the geo-political and religious intrigues of first-century Roman Palestine? Funny, tragic, and thrilling, this novel both inspires and challenges your thinking about Jesus.

The Accidental Feminist
Author: Courtney Reissig
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433545519
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
“My name is Courtney. I’m an accidental feminist.” Although many Christians wouldn’t identify themselves as feminists, the reality is that the feminist movement has influenced us all in profound ways. We unconsciously reflect our culture’s ideas related to womanhood rather than what’s found in the Bible. In this book, Courtney Reissig—a wife, mom, and successful writer—recounts her journey out of “accidental feminism,” offering wise counsel for Christian women related to relationships, body image, and more—drawing from the Bible rather than culture. Whether you’re a committed feminist, a staunch traditionalist, or somewhere in between, this book will help you answer the question, “What does it mean to be a Christian woman?” You’ll discover the joy, purpose and importance that are found in God’s good design.

Accidental Gods
Author: Anna Della Subin
Publisher: Metropolitan Books
ISBN: 1250296889
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 435
Book Description
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY ESQUIRE, THE IRISH TIMES AND THE TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT A provocative history of men who were worshipped as gods that illuminates the connection between power and religion and the role of divinity in a secular age Ever since 1492, when Christopher Columbus made landfall in the New World and was hailed as a heavenly being, the accidental god has haunted the modern age. From Haile Selassie, acclaimed as the Living God in Jamaica, to Britain’s Prince Philip, who became the unlikely center of a new religion on a South Pacific island, men made divine—always men—have appeared on every continent. And because these deifications always emerge at moments of turbulence—civil wars, imperial conquest, revolutions—they have much to teach us. In a revelatory history spanning five centuries, a cast of surprising deities helps to shed light on the thorny questions of how our modern concept of “religion” was invented; why religion and politics are perpetually entangled in our supposedly secular age; and how the power to call someone divine has been used and abused by both oppressors and the oppressed. From nationalist uprisings in India to Nigerien spirit possession cults, Anna Della Subin explores how deification has been a means of defiance for colonized peoples. Conversely, we see how Columbus, Cortés, and other white explorers amplified stories of their godhood to justify their dominion over native peoples, setting into motion the currents of racism and exclusion that have plagued the New World ever since they touched its shores. At once deeply learned and delightfully antic, Accidental Gods offers an unusual keyhole through which to observe the creation of our modern world. It is that rare thing: a lyrical, entertaining work of ideas, one that marks the debut of a remarkable literary career.
