Book Description
The Reverend Dr. Xavier Trone Carter, Sr. During his last thirty-eight years of practicing preaching--thirty-one of them as a pastor in preparation--Dr. Carter has striven to "manifest the Incarnate Word by the spoken word, from the written word." In those years he joined with some of the greatest and most courageous preachers of our time who have devoted their lives to the pursuit of truth over tradition, good over evil and salvation over sin. However, unlike his predecessors, Dr. Carter, a brilliant Educator, Author, Pastor and Teacher, made the decisive-decision to take traditional Christian practices to the next level. His theories have provoked controversy in the local Church for well over thirty years. with the publishing of "Revealing the Hidden Hope: Entering in at the Strait Gate, Through the Doorway to an Already Decided Destiny" he now seeks to alter the course of human events in Christendom by painting a literal portrait of what it means to apprehend and adhere to the Principles of God, with the full expectation of enjoying the Promises of God, while we yet live. James Francis Brooks, Senior Pastor Lily Baptist Church, Tarrant City, Alabama by precept and example this book is a literal road map of how to get from where you are to where you desire to go; that is from earth's sorrow to heaven's joy, while you yet live. Dr. Carter has pulled no punches: he calls a spade a spade and sin by its right name, letting the chips fall where they may. by following his directions any believer can apprehend and adhere to the Divine Order of Authority in this world and subsequently enjoy the promises of God. It's all a matter of "belief plus action, commonly known as faith." Dorothy Collins Publisher and Editor of the Lily Light Lily Baptist Church, Tarrant City, Alabama

Mercies in Disguise
Author: Gina Kolata
Publisher: Macmillan + ORM
ISBN: 1250123992
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
"[Kolata] is a gifted storyteller. Her account of the Baxleys... is both engrossing and distressing... Kolata's book raises crucial questions about knowledge that can be both vital and fatal, both pallative and dangerous." —Andrew Solomon, The New York Review of Books New York Times science reporter Gina Kolata follows a family through genetic illness and one courageous daughter who decides her fate shall no longer be decided by a genetic flaw. The phone rings. The doctor from California is on the line. “Are you ready Amanda?” The two people Amanda Baxley loves the most had begged her not to be tested—at least, not now. But she had to find out. If your family carried a mutated gene that foretold a brutal illness and you were offered the chance to find out if you’d inherited it, would you do it? Would you walk toward the problem, bravely accepting whatever answer came your way? Or would you avoid the potential bad news as long as possible? In Mercies in Disguise, acclaimed New York Times science reporter and bestselling author Gina Kolata tells the story of the Baxleys, an almost archetypal family in a small town in South Carolina. A proud and determined clan, many of them doctors, they are struck one by one with an inscrutable illness. They finally discover the cause of the disease after a remarkable sequence of events that many saw as providential. Meanwhile, science, progressing for a half a century along a parallel track, had handed the Baxleys a resolution—not a cure, but a blood test that would reveal who had the gene for the disease and who did not. And science would offer another dilemma—fertility specialists had created a way to spare the children through an expensive process. A work of narrative nonfiction, Mercies in Disguise is the story of a family that took matters into its own hands when the medical world abandoned them. It’s a story of a family that had to deal with unspeakable tragedy and yet did not allow it to tear them apart. And it is the story of a young woman—Amanda Baxley—who faced the future head on, determined to find a way to disrupt her family’s destiny.

The Disguised Ruler in Shakespeare and his Contemporaries
Author: Kevin A. Quarmby
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317035550
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
In the early seventeenth century, the London stage often portrayed a ruler covertly spying on his subjects. Traditionally deemed 'Jacobean disguised ruler plays', these works include Shakespeare's Measure for Measure, Marston's The Malcontent and The Fawn, Middleton's The Phoenix, and Sharpham's The Fleer. Commonly dated to the arrival of James I, these plays are typically viewed as synchronic commentaries on the Jacobean regime. Kevin A. Quarmby demonstrates that the disguised ruler motif actually evolved in the 1580s. It emerged from medieval folklore and balladry, Tudor Chronicle history and European tragicomedy. Familiar on the Elizabethan stage, these incognito rulers initially offered light-hearted, romantic entertainment, only to suffer a sinister transformation as England awaited its ageing queen's demise. The disguised royal had become a dangerously voyeuristic political entity by the time James assumed the throne. Traditional critical perspectives also disregard contemporary theatrical competition. Market demands shaped the repertories. Rivalry among playing companies guaranteed the motif's ongoing vitality. The disguised ruler's presence in a play reassured audiences; it also facilitated a subversive exploration of contemporary social and political issues. Gradually, the disguised ruler's dramatic currency faded, but the figure remained vibrant as an object of parody until the playhouses closed in the 1640s.

Reason for the Hope Within
Author: Michael J. Murray
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 9780802844378
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
During the last two decades there has been a renaissance in the field of Christian philosophy. Unfortunately, most of this excellent work has not reached general readers. Reason for the Hope Within was produced specifically to make available the best of contemporary Christian philosophy in a clear, accessible -- and highly relevant -- manner. Fourteen of America's rising Christian philosophers here cover many of the traditional themes of Christian apologetics (arguments for the existence of God, the problem of evil, the possibility of miracles) as well as topics of special relevance to today's world (Eastern religions, Christianity and science, Christianity and ethics, the existence of heaven and hell).

Cynicism and Hope
Author: Meg E. Cox
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1606082140
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 137
Book Description
On the morning after they walked for miles through freezing rain to a prayer vigil outside the White House in March 2007, a group of young war protesters listened to one last speech before heading home to Chicago. Peter Dula, who had served with the Mennonite Central Committee in Iraq, spoke honestly about the caustic combination of guilt and disempowerment the protesters were struggling with. He commended protesting and suggested resisting war taxes, then made two surprising final recommendations: ride a bike and plant a garden. Electrified by Dula's speech, the group wanted to talk more about their disillusionment and to learn from their elders in activism and the church. So in November 2007 they hosted a conference at Reba Place Church in Evanston, Illinois, where over two hundred people gathered to learn, worship, and contemplate a more hopeful way. This volume is a collection of the major addresses from that conference. The contributors suggest a new way to live in the tension between hope that things will improve and cynicism about whether they ever will. While creating space for lament, they point toward a radical Christian faithfulness in neighborhoods and congregations that can be both hopeful and profoundly political.
