Following the Path of Their Elders
Author: The Elder Shall Serve the Younger
Author: William MoorePublisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 1602661642
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
Paul could not speak of the cherubs on the Ark of the Covenant, but archeological discoveries have provided clues into the symbolism of these beings. Their study follows a path throughout the Bible beginning in Genesis with the first day of creation and continuing through Revelations. In addition to a scholastic treatment of Biblical studies, important principles of a meaningful and exciting Christian life are also presented. We already know the importance of some principles, but do we know how to best apply them. For example, two vital principles are love and giving. In this book we will explain How to apply these principles in a way that gains favor with God. William Moore has been a teacher of the Bible for over forty years and speaks at his home church and around the United States. His educational background consists of a bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems and a Master of Business Administration. He taught college for six years after retiring from the business world. He retired from teaching to become more active in missions and has spent a great deal of time working in missions in Russia, Central Asia, and the United States. Other works by Mr. Moore include I Must Decrease and The Power of Babel.

Pages : 328
Book Description
In this volume, R. Alan Culpepper considers both the Gospel and the Letters of John. The book begins with a close look at the relationship between John and the Synoptics and a summary of John's distinctive thought and language. The second chapter addresses the fascinating issues regarding the origins of the Gospel and the letters: authorship, sources, and composition. The history of the Johannine community is reviewed in chapter three. Chapter four interprets the plot of the Gospel and prepares the student to read John as literature by providing a brief orientation to narrative criticism. The fifth chapter turns to more traditional concerns: John as theology. This chapter provides a digest of the Christology, theology, and eschatology of John. The sixth through the eighth chapters, the heart of the book, guide the student through a reading of the Gospel. The ninth chapter serves as an introduction to the Letters, noting especially their relationship to the Gospel. Each letter is treated in turn. The final chapter examines the challenges and potential of the Johannine literature as documents of faith. "In previous writings Alan Culpepper has shown himself to be one of the best Johannine scholars of our time. He not only conveniently draws together his research but also shows himself to be an excellent teacher." --Raymond E. Brown

In Praise of Paths
Author: Torbjørn EkelundPublisher: Greystone Books Ltd
ISBN: 1771644966
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
“What [Ekelund is] addressing is the intention to walk one’s way to meaning: the walk as spiritual exercise, a kind of vision quest... A key strategy for finding ourselves, then, is to first get lost.”—The New York Times Book Review An ode to paths and the journeys we take through nature, as told by a gifted writer who stopped driving and rediscovered the joys of traveling by foot. Torbjørn Ekelund started to walk—everywhere—after an epilepsy diagnosis affected his ability to drive. The more he ventured out, the more he came to love the act of walking, and an interest in paths emerged. In this poignant, meandering book, Ekelund interweaves the literature and history of paths with his own stories from the trail. As he walks with shoes on and barefoot, through forest creeks and across urban streets, he contemplates the early tracks made by ancient snails and traces the wanderings of Romantic poets, amongst other musings. If we still “understand ourselves in relation to the landscape,” Ekelund asks, then what do we lose in an era of car travel and navigation apps? And what will we gain from taking to paths once again? “A charming read, celebrating the relationship between humans and their bodies, their landscapes, and one another.” —The Washington Post This book was made possible in part thanks to generous support from NORLA.

Follow the Spinning Sun
Author: Leandro Thomas GonzalesPublisher: Sunstone Press
ISBN: 1611392381
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
Living in one of the most beautiful places on Earth, the Anasazi Indians enjoyed a good and bountiful life. Yet, for some reason, they abandoned their village and all that remains are the ruins of Tyuoni at the Bandelier National Monument in New Mexico. In this work of fiction, Jopin, an eighty year-old elder desperate for an answer, embarks on a prayer quest that takes him on a chain of events which will unveil the fate of Tyuoni. Deer-tracker, his pre-teen grandson, and Knee-nose, a young spotted deer, help Jopin deal with Chief Salamander’s questionable actions and motives as the tribe journeys on a treacherous and intriguing odyssey. In his story, the author strives to demonstrate how a significant religious event could have influenced the people to abandon their majestic village, join the Great Migration, and follow the spinning sun to their new homeland, even though popular belief purports that the Anasazi vanished because of war, severe drought, or famine. The wonder of living in such an extraordinary time and place will provoke interest in the age-old mystery of what really happened.
