Book Description
Though Christendom has come to an end, it appears that old habits die hard. Jesus promised his followers neither safety nor affluence, but rather that those who come after him should expect persecution. Christian discipleship and tribal nationalism, however, despite the legal separation of church and state, continue to be co-opted into the nation-state project of prosperity and security. This co-option has made it difficult for the church to recognize her task to be a prophetic witness both for and against the state. That only a small pocket of Christians bear witness against such an accommodation of Christian practice is disconcerting; and yet, it breeds hope. In Living on Hope While Living in Babylon, Tripp York examines a few twentieth century Christians who lived such a witness, including the Berrigan brothers, Dorothy Day, and Eberhard Arnold. These witnesses can be viewed as anarchical in the sense that their loyalty to Christ undermines the pseudo-soteriological myth employed by the state. While these Christians have been labeled pilgrims, revolutionaries, nomads, subversives, agitators, and now, anarchists, they are more importantly seekers of the peace of the city whose chief desire is for those belonging to the temporal cities to be able to participate in the eternal city--the city of God. By examining their ideas and their actions, this book will attempt to understand how the politics of the church--an apocalyptic politic--is necessary for the church to understand her mission as bearer of the gospel.

Book Description
Meet a man forced to live in a fast changing and godless society. He faced fears about the future, concern for his safety, and the discouragement of world that seemed to be falling apart at warp speed. Sound familiar? His name was Daniel, and with the power of hope, humility, and wisdom, he not only thrived, he changed an empire while he was at it. Though he lived thousands of years ago, he has a much to teach us today. Even in Babylon, God Is in Control In Thriving in Babylon, Larry Osborne explores the “adult” story of Daniel to help us not only survive – but actually thrive in an increasingly godless culture. Here Pastor Osborne looks at: - Why panic and despair are never from God- What true optimism looks like- How humility disarms even our greatest of enemies- Why respect causes even those who will have nothing to do with God to listen- How wisdom can snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat For those who know Jesus and understand the full implications of the cross, the resurrection, and the promises of Jesus, everything changes – not only in us, but also in our world.

Book Description
My name is Neil Sorrells and I am a Christian storyteller. I accepted Jesus Christ as my savior, with my Sunday school class, in 1950. Atlanta’s Chief of police (Chief Jenkins) taught our fifth grade class, and after the last class, he took us down to the Atlanta jail to show us their weapons, and then the cells themselves. Then he tells us how Jesus can keep us safe, anywhere, and we believe him. He leads us in a prayer of confession, and he and his aid declare us men as they serve Holy Communion, and give us bibles. At 11 years of age, I was the youngest in the class. On my 12th birthday, I choose to be baptized at my mother and fathers old home Church at Hiram Ga. My grandmothers and grandfathers were some of the founders, and we still have relatives who attended there. There are once a year all day singing and eating on the ground reunions, which feature lines and lines of southern farm cooking. Memories like these, of those simple people and their love for each other still warms my soul. As a Christian businessman I am called to do Justice, with a heavy on the do part, love mercy, give the other feller every break I can-especially if it doesn’t cost me anything, and walk humbly-and there is not one of my customers I wouldn’t go out of my way for, and I have already helped many that way. As a 23 year Gideon, our mission is to take the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ to as many men women and children as possible. With these guidelines, Gideon lives become seamless. As a writer, my aim is to restore our souls, and the soul of America. We have a society that tells us we come from worthless tissue. What kind of self-image is that? Christians are about answered prayer. As Americans, Christians want the 10 commandments as the basis of our laws, and the Bible taught as history in our Church’s, homes, and schools. As our society changes Christian stories will come into demand, and that could happen this year. I am a paid published author, with two stage plays that were semi-finalist in the 12th annual writers digest contest for new material (top 20%), first try. This year I am working on a screenplay. I have written three completed novels, and I work on short stories and dramatic presentations. One presentation has been performed seven times now, with amazing results and very positive feedback. Happily married for 33 years, (33 out of 46 is not bad) my wife Maggie and I have five children and five grandchildren. It is in our family lives that we can most easily see the goodness of the Holy Spirit working. Praise God. I am available for most any group setting that wants to experience more of God’s love in their lives. I can do up to one hour.

So far, I have not met a soul I did not like. If your church would like to participate, like take responsibility for one night, call 570-7707. Any Christians who would like can sing with the choir, and minister-2 or more for every person-if possible. Wednesday and Sunday nights we will go back to our Church’s and tell them what is going on at the tent. “T C Freight” believes that when you know the truth it will set you free.

Book Description
A Vintage Shorts “Short Story Month” Selection Together with a crew of other miners and cart-pullers, Hillalum is recruited to climb the Tower of Babylon and unearth what lies beyond the vault of heaven. During his journey, Hillalum discovers entire civilizations of tower-dwellers on the tower—there are those who live inside the mists of clouds, those who raise their vegetables above the sun, and those who have spent their lives under the oppressive weight of an endless, white stratum at the top of the universe. “Tower of Babylon” is a rare gem—a winner of the prestigious Nebula award, the first story Ted Chiang ever published, and the brilliant opening piece to Chiang’s much-lauded first collection, Stories of Your Life and Others, which is soon to be a major motion picture starring Amy Adams. An ebook short.

Book Description
The following pages have been written with the view of offering to the Bible student, in a small compass, a little of the history of Babylon, her thought, religion, and manners, and consequently the means whereby he may understand better some of the allusions of the prophets and Bible historians.-from the Introduction Almost 6,000 years after the beginning of their great society, and 2,600 years after its collapse, the heritage handed us by the ancient Babylonians still runs like a shining thread through our global civilization today, a profound cultural gift recognized in the 19th-century as their cuneiform language was first translated.Here, one of the most prominent antiquarians of the Victorian era introduces us to both the secular reality and the spiritual worldview of these sophisticated early people, from their daily life - including aspects of their food, clothing, and furniture - to their religious traditions, their devotion to astrology, and their practice of magic.Drawing on primary and secondary sources uncovered by the archaeology of the era, this is an important volume for students of mythology, religion, history, and historical research. SIR E.A. BUDGE (1857-1934) was curator of Egyptian and Assyrian antiquities at the British Museum form 1894 to 1924. Among his many works of translation and studies of ancient Egyptian religion and ritual is his best-known project, The Egyptian Book of the Dead.

Book Description
OVER 50,000 COPIES SOLD! How do we live faithfully in a country becoming more and more hostile to our faith in Christ? Like the Israelites in Babylon, we must find a way to maintain our faith in the midst of a pagan culture. But that requires we answer two crucial questions: How did we get here? How do we prepare for the dark and difficult days ahead? In The Church in Babylon, Dr. Lutzer answers both of these questions. He will walk you through the many parallels between the church in America and God's people in Babylon, and embolden you to be a gospel witness. You'll be encouraged not to compromise your faith even when under constant pressure from all corners of society. And more than all this you will have a fresh encounter with Jesus Christ, as you consider the biblical role of those in exile.
Author: Richard John Neuhaus Publisher: Hachette UK ISBN: 0786744375 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 288
Book Description
Christians are by their nature a people out of place. Their true home is with God; in civic life, they are alien citizens "in but not of the world." In American Babylon, eminent theologian Richard John Neuhaus examines the particular truth of that ambiguity for Catholics in America today. Neuhaus addresses the essential quandaries of Catholic life -- assessing how Catholics can keep their heads above water in the sea of immorality that confronts them in the world, how they can be patriotic even though their true country is not in this world, and how they might reconcile their duties as citizens with their commitment to God. Deeply learned, frequently combative, and always eloquent, American Babylon is Neuhaus's magnum opus -- and will be essential reading for all Christians.
