Barrenness and Blessing
Author: Hemchand Gossai
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1630874507
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 116
Book Description
The themes of these stories are profoundly human themes, capturing the persistent interaction between God and humankind. These narratives invite us to witness the manner in which God enters human community in all of its complexities, struggles, challenges, fears, and ultimately hope. As the narratives unfold, not only is it clear that God will not be restricted by societal and cultural conventions, but the human journey will be generated by faith and doubt, fear and hope, promise and fulfillment. Hemchand Gossai not only explores the various themes within a variety of texts, but maintains a constant eye on the implications for the church and contemporary readers. In this regard, some of the literal and particular experiences such as barrenness, wilderness, and wrestling with God are examined as metaphors for our experiences. The richness and texture of metaphors allow us to embrace these stories in a way that makes them our stories.

The Blessing of Sarah
Author: Morolayo Anne Owoputi
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 146788152X
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
Since the history of the entire universe, statistics have proven that the problem of infertility has risen over the last two decades. We have many more couples with inabilities to have biological children of their own, with cases of miscarriages, fibroid, tumors, and complications in delivery. So the question has been what changed? The answer lies in the newly released book titled ‘The Blessing of Sarah’. An expository book on what the fertility God has to say about empowerment for conception, full-time gestation period and safe delivery. The author goes beyond unravelling the simplistic notion about these problems confronting women and brings to light God’s clever ways of addressing them, such that, if women can understand them, they could conceive their own biological children notwithstanding the limitations. It has got practical and powerful answers to many questions confronting women’s conception, providing readers with scriptural analogies on how to handle the cases of barrenness, miscarriages, fibroid tumors in women and complications in delivery, including Bible-based prayers for reversing all that was not so from the beginning with the woman. With recent incidences of fibroid operation claiming many women’s lives, the book reveals a better way of handling it, showing how the fertility God rids out fibroid without Him applying a pin on women’s flesh just to ensure they conceive and bear kids. It analyses how the working of the blessing organises the process of conception through to having a full-time gestation period unto safe delivery, providing significant insights to what can be done to successfully complete the process irrespective of standing limitations. The author concluded by making a compelling case for treating the belief of living and dying childless by sharing series of testimonies from couples who had challenges conceiving but now have their own biological kids through the working of the blessing of the womb upon their lives. It is a must-read for all expecting couples, potential couples, and women who desire to bear kids in their lifetime and without much trouble too.

Fierce Convictions
Author: Karen Swallow Prior
Publisher: HarperChristian + ORM
ISBN: 140020626X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
With a foreword by Eric Metaxas, best-selling author of Bonhoeffer and Amazing Grace. The enthralling biography of the woman writer who helped end the slave trade, changed Britain’s upper classes, and taught a nation how to read. The history-changing reforms of Hannah More affected every level of 18th-Century British society through her keen intellect, literary achievements, collaborative spirit, strong Christian principles, and colorful personality. A woman without connections or status, More took the world of British letters by storm when she arrived in London from Bristol, becoming a best-selling author and acclaimed playwright and quickly befriending the author Samuel Johnson, the politician Horace Walpole, and the actor David Garrick. Yet she was also a leader in the Evangelical movement, using her cultural position and her pen to support the growth of education for the poor, the reform of morals and manners, and the abolition of Britain’s slave trade. Fierce Convictions weaves together world and personal history into a stirring story of life that intersected with Wesley and Whitefield’s Great Awakening, the rise and influence of Evangelicalism, and convulsive effects of the French Revolution. A woman of exceptional intellectual gifts and literary talent, Hannah More was above all a person whose faith compelled her both to engage her culture and to transform it.

Reconceiving Infertility
Author: Candida R. Moss
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691164835
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
A more complete picture of how procreation and childlessness are depicted in the Bible In the Book of Genesis, the first words God speaks to humanity are "Be fruitful and multiply." From ancient times to today, these words have been understood as a divine command to procreate. Fertility is viewed as a sign of blessedness and moral uprightness, while infertility is associated with sin and moral failing. Reconceiving Infertility explores traditional interpretations such as these, providing a more complete picture of how procreation and childlessness are depicted in the Bible. Closely examining texts and themes from both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament, Candida Moss and Joel Baden offer vital new perspectives on infertility and the social experiences of the infertile in the biblical tradition. They begin with perhaps the most famous stories of infertility in the Bible—those of the matriarchs Sarah, Rebekah, and Rachel—and show how the divine injunction in Genesis is both a blessing and a curse. Moss and Baden go on to discuss the metaphorical treatments of Israel as a "barren mother," the conception of Jesus, Paul's writings on family and reproduction, and more. They reveal how biblical views on procreation and infertility, and the ancient contexts from which they emerged, were more diverse than we think. Reconceiving Infertility demonstrates that the Bible speaks in many voices about infertility, and lays a biblical foundation for a more supportive religious environment for those suffering from infertility today.
