Love Wins
Author: Rob Bell
Publisher: Harper Collins
ISBN: 006204964X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 149
Book Description
Millions of Christians have struggled with how to reconcile God's love and God's judgment: Has God created billions of people over thousands of years only to select a few to go to heaven and everyone else to suffer forever in hell? Is this acceptable to God? How is this "good news"? Troubling questions—so troubling that many have lost their faith because of them. Others only whisper the questions to themselves, fearing or being taught that they might lose their faith and their church if they ask them out loud. But what if these questions trouble us for good reason? What if the story of heaven and hell we have been taught is not, in fact, what the Bible teaches? What if what Jesus meant by heaven, hell, and salvation are very different from how we have come to understand them? What if it is God who wants us to face these questions? Author, pastor, and innovative teacher Rob Bell presents a deeply biblical vision for rediscovering a richer, grander, truer, and more spiritually satisfying way of understanding heaven, hell, God, Jesus, salvation, and repentance. The result is the discovery that the "good news" is much, much better than we ever imagined. Love wins.

Pages : 244
Book Description
From the book: "Okay, let's do it" she said and tried to sound brave although I could tell by her shaking voice that she was scared by the thought. She somehow found resources inside her to be brave. It happened so quickly in her heart and mind that I got the idea that she had done this several times before. Panic was washed away from her face and her eyes glowed soothingly, so I hardly could imagine the fear that had been torturing her soul just seconds earlier. An airplane crashes into the jungle carrying two people, the American man, Shen Mi Ren, and the Chinese woman, Nian Ye. They both survive the accident and find themselves among snakes, bats, crocodiles, and other enemies of the environment. They share the same goal as they both want to get back to civili-zation. And they both suffer from amnesia. But that is all they have in common. They must work together, but can they trust each other when only the jungle law rules? The story origins from a book which my friend Captain Fleet has found in the desert. He claims that the book itself has written the story. Is that even possible?

Blossom of the Golden Bell
Author: Hwain Chang Lee
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1532611382
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 151
Book Description
The Bible has many stories about women. In these stories of women, we see a reflection of ourselves and our own reality--physical, spiritual, and social.Like these women, Hwain's mother possessed deep faith in her Lord. Korean Christian women build their lives on two foundations. The first is the hard reality of the lives of women in the Bible. The second is the long history of Korean women born into a system of Confucian belief. Blossom of the Golden Bell is a story about Hwain's mother. The story is a mingling and converging of two realities, the hard lives of the women of the Bible and the history Korean women are born into. Hwain's mother gave Hwain life and then gave her own life to Hwain. She influenced and taught Hwain, spiritually and socially. Hwain cannot forget the stories of her mother's past, nor leave them unrecorded. Therefore, this book is Hwain's gift to her mother. Hwain's wish is for the stories contained in this book to reflect light onto other women just as it did for Hwain.
