God's Best-Kept Secret
Author: Mark Maulding
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1493407813
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
For many of us, the attempt to live for God can leave us feeling burdened rather than free. Yet that's not the kind of life God intends for us to experience. What if he never meant for us to try so hard? What if overcoming sin doesn't rely on our own self-control? What if loving others isn't about saying and doing all the right things? What if suffering isn't designed to teach us lessons? What if we could feel closer to God without doing anything? In God's Best-Kept Secret, the founder of Grace Life International explodes our preconceived notions of living the Christian life, freeing us to stop just going through the motions and to experience true fulfillment. Illuminating commonly misunderstood Bible verses, Mark Maulding shows us that following God is not as complicated as we often make it out to be. And, in fact, the answer to our struggles has been hiding in plain sight all along.

Jackie Robinson
Author: Arnold Rampersad
Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0307788482
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 562
Book Description
The extraordinary life of Jackie Robinson is illuminated as never before in this full-scale biography by Arnold Rampersad, who was chosen by Jack's widow, Rachel, to tell her husband's story, and was given unprecedented access to his private papers. We are brought closer than we have ever been to the great ballplayer, a man of courage and quality who became a pivotal figure in the areas of race and civil rights. Born in the rural South, the son of a sharecropper, Robinson was reared in southern California. We see him blossom there as a student-athlete as he struggled against poverty and racism to uphold the beliefs instilled in him by his mother--faith in family, education, America, and God. We follow Robinson through World War II, when, in the first wave of racial integration in the armed forces, he was commissioned as an officer, then court-martialed after refusing to move to the back of a bus. After he plays in the Negro National League, we watch the opening of an all-American drama as, late in 1945, Branch Rickey of the Brooklyn Dodgers recognized Jack as the right player to break baseball's color barrier--and the game was forever changed. Jack's never-before-published letters open up his relationship with his family, especially his wife, Rachel, whom he married just as his perilous venture of integrating baseball began. Her memories are a major resource of the narrative as we learn about the severe harassment Robinson endured from teammates and opponents alike; about death threats and exclusion; about joy and remarkable success. We watch his courageous response to abuse, first as a stoic endurer, then as a fighter who epitomized courage and defiance. We see his growing friendship with white players like Pee Wee Reese and the black teammates who followed in his footsteps, and his embrace by Brooklyn's fans. We follow his blazing career: 1947, Rookie of the Year; 1949, Most Valuable Player; six pennants in ten seasons, and 1962, induction into the Hall of Fame. But sports were merely one aspect of his life. We see his business ventures, his leading role in the community, his early support of Martin Luther King Jr., his commitment to the civil rights movement at a crucial stage in its evolution; his controversial associations with Eisenhower, Kennedy, Nixon, Humphrey, Goldwater, Nelson Rockefeller, and Malcolm X. Rampersad's magnificent biography leaves us with an indelible image of a principled man who was passionate in his loyalties and opinions: a baseball player who could focus a crowd's attention as no one before or since; an activist at the crossroads of his people's struggle; a dedicated family man whose last years were plagued by illness and tragedy, and who died prematurely at fifty-two. He was a pathfinder, an American hero, and he now has the biography he deserves.

Victory Over Japan
Author: Ellen Gilchrist
Publisher: Diversion Books
ISBN: 1940941148
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Originally published in 1984, this collection of 14 short stories set in Arkansas and Mississippi went on to win that year’s National Book Award for fiction, confirming Ellen Gilchrist’s place as one of the preeminent literary talents of her generation. Victory Over Japan takes us into the lives of an unforgettable group of Southern women — beautiful, complicated, enchanting, and sometimes dangerous — in and out of bars, marriages, divorces, lovers' arms, and even earthquakes, in an attempt to find happiness, or at least some satisfaction. Throughout these stories, one hears echoes of Flannery O'Connor and Eudora Welty, but Ms. Gilchrist has her own unique literary voice, and it is outrageously funny, moving, tragic, and always appealing. PRAISE: “To say that Ellen Gilchrist can write is to say that Placido Domingo can sing. All you need to do is listen.” —Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post “She is what they call a natural, writing with passion, authority and a noticeable lack of the self-consciousness that weighs down much of contemporary fiction.” —San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle “Ellen Gilchrist’s achievement is to create lives which refuse to be bound on the page by words and sentences . . . the writing is full of understanding that doesn’t advertise itself as perception or insight.” —London Daily Telegraph

Messages From Heaven About the Future of Our World. Mary, God's Final Preacher, God is always trying to lead man away from self-destruction. He sends his preachers. He sends his teachers. But these are snuffed out. Their words are not listened to and their invitations are rejected. So, finally, he has sent me. I am his final teacher, his final prophet. I am his last opportunity to change the course of history. There is no one behind me, no other message, no other signs than the ones that I will give. When I tell the world that it must listen to me, I am not speaking from a selfish and arrogant spirit. I am speaking as one who sees the destruction, the hopelessness of mankind if my words are not heeded.

First uno and foremost thank -U- all glory be to God/and his magnificent son Jesus. About the book. As I stated somewhere in these stories turned testimonies, when the thought crossed my mind to write the newly fashioned devotional book, whether I was watching television, eating or doing some female stuff, bathing dressing, getting to mama’s or chilling on our front porch, should I wear this or that? The ensemble was well put together. I did not feel like trying to know if I could style my hair this way or that, and left it to its own mind, and went forward in the day. And after checking me out @ home, and then again for confirmation quickly checking me out as I passed someone’s parked car, and accepted for eternity you are a negro gypsy hippy bottomline, leave your hair as it is. It crossed my mind again, that you should write something concerning the new diversity and arguabaly that has actually been around since the beginning of time. Who is straight? Who is lgbtq? And whose business is it really? Not talking to myself yet out loud thoughts escaping my mind, and sheba baby was ignoring me she’d heard enough earlier. And you have enough praying concerning your own, and 14% give and take a % of us have had our shared experiences, male and female, and still thankful to have conceived and birth children, hello & hello. So yes, really speaking for the females in our family.Then it crossed my mind that I understood the difference between this and that and of the universe 40% of diseases and hopefully sooner than later cures.. Well we’d all have to go back to the beginning of time to hopefully understand just how many diseases occurred in the land of purity. God's creation. Humans mess up. Only he knows and has the answer to what the words read. Personally I am good where I am in 2023. Oh my goodness gracious! God/Jesus got my attention early right about 2:30 am. Write what you are reading, and I was not nor will be the only one to wonder, or write about the touchy topic and you have experience, and have read Romans 1 uno:26 vienta y seis, and I laughed, cried and smiled and did some mellow shouting. I prayed he would answer and here we are. Inspired specifically by, and through Christ the one who created it and us all. Here we are, please enjoy every word and with much understanding. Continually praying for ourselves and as many as our hands, and hearts can handle. Peace and peacefulness unto us all peace on earth and more unity around the universe.

Reading the Word of God in the Presence of God
Author: Vern S. Poythress
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433543273
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
Biblical interpretation is typically viewed as concerned with understanding the human author’s intended meaning. However, for Christians, the Bible is first and foremost God’s Word and must be understood in that light. Helping Christians approach the Bible with God in mind, this book sets forth a more nuanced approach to biblical interpretation that pays attention to both the human and divine origins of these sacred texts. Whether it’s reviewing the three basic steps of interpretation or emphasizing the importance of paying attention to the Christ-centered character of both the Old and New Testaments, this book is a much-needed resource for the church as it wrestles to defend the authority of Scripture in our increasingly relativistic world.
