God's Top Ten List
Author: Robert R. Kopp
Publisher: CSS Publishing
ISBN: 0788017861
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 79
Book Description
God's Top Ten List approaches the Ten Commandments not as a list of do's and don'ts, but rather as a path toward personal peace and social renewal. In messages liberally sprinkled with gripping illustrations, Robert Kopp explores the timeless truth of the commandments, and notes that they are God's recipe for achieving a happy and satisfying life. Good sermons are hard to come by -- but Bob Kopp comes by them with uncanny regularity. Kopp understands our culture as few preachers do, and addresses crucial issues of our time with biblical faithfulness and prophetic insight. Tony Campolo noted author and preacher Professor of Sociology, Eastern College Robert Kopp's writing is original, intriguing, provocative, biblical, and at times confrontational. One thing he never is: boring! Michael Duduit, Editor Preaching magazine Robert Kopp blends an ironclad private faith with a colorful, comprehensive, and coherent public expression. He leads readers to want to know more and more, until they find they have been led to the very feet of Jesus.... I commend these chapters not only for personal comfort and stimulation, but also for a re-introduction to an informed and educated faith that can make all the difference. Paul G. Watermulder First Presbyterian Church Burlingame, California The Rev. Dr. Kopp writes with the keen and timely insight of a prophet and the heart of a pastor -- ever drawing the individual believer as well as the Body of Christ into closer fellowship with the Lord. Steve Wilson Oakmont Presbyterian Church Oakmont, Pennsylvania Robert R. Kopp is pastor of Center Presbyterian Church in McMurray, Pennsylvania. A maxima cum laude graduate of King's College in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, he has also earned degrees from Princeton Theological Seminary (M.Div.) and Drew University (D.Min.). In addition to having served as adjunct professor of expository preaching at Nazarene Theological Seminary, he has pastored churches in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Ohio, North Carolina, and Missouri. Kopp's sermons have been featured in such periodicals as Preaching, Pulpit Digest, and Vital Sermons of the Day, as well as in Great Preaching and the Abingdon Preaching Annual. Kopp is the author of Don't Forget This! and Golf In The Real Kingdom (CSS).

God's Shrink
Author: Michael Adamse, Ph.D.
Publisher: Health Communications, Inc.
ISBN: 0757306179
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 197
Book Description
A Riveting Spiritual Thrill Ride Like most seasoned psychiatrists, Dr. Richard Johnson thought he'd heard it all. His assuredness falters when a first-time client arrives at his office and announces that he is God. Listening intently to the man, who is obviously suffering from severe psychosis, he agrees to take the case. What transpires over the course of the next nine sessions will test everything in the doctor's bag of tricks. As he struggles to unravel the client's illness before he becomes a danger to himself, a chilling series of coincidences and events cause him to question everything he thought he knew about himself, his place in the world, and life after death. Was their time together the revelations of divinity or the ramblings of a delusional? What's possible? You decide . . . Ten sessions. A lifetime of answers. Under normal circumstances, the province of psychotherapy is practiced privately. What is said behind closed doors remains there. The patient can sing like a bird, but the therapist is ethically and legally bound by confidentiality. I can truthfully say that in all my years of practice, I only gave up two patients. The first involved serious child abuse and the second concerned an individual who was imminently suicidal. These were clearly based on a duty to warn and protect. What you will read in these pages is the third breach of my silence and has nothing to do with legalities or ethics. It has to do with a patient whose initial claims represented the most elaborate and complex delusional system I've ever encountered. I was given express permission to tell the story in a public forum. Indeed, I was encouraged to.

The Ten Commandments
Author: Dr. Laura Schlessinger
Publisher: Dr. Laura Schlessinger
ISBN: 9780060929961
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
The Ten Commandments are the first direct communication between a people and God. Designed to elevate our lives above mere frantic, animal existence to the sublime levels humanity is capable or experiencing, they are the blueprint of God's expectations of us and His plan for a meaningful, just, loving, and holy life. Each commandment asserts a principle, and each principle is a moral focal point for real-life issues relating to God, family, sex, work, charity, property, speech, and thought. Written in collaboration with Rabbi Stewart Vogel, The Ten Commandments incorporates lively discussion of the Bible and the Judeo-Christian values derived from it. Filled with passion, emotion, and profound insights, it will move, enlighten, inspire, entertain, and educate you on the meaning each commandment has in our daily lives today: I am the Lord, your God, Who has taken you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery. You shall not recognize the gods of others in My presence. You shall not take the Name of the Lord., your God, in vain. Remember the Sabbath day and sanctify it. Honor your Father and your Mother. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness against your fellow. You shall not covet.

No Other Gods
Author: Ana Levy-Lyons
Publisher: Center Street
ISBN: 9781478977223
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Now includes discussion questions and contemplation exercises for individual study and reading groups. Ana Levy-Lyons, a public theologian who is equally at home in secular and religious worlds, offers a deeply perceptive reinterpretation of the Ten Commandments for our modern lives. The Ten Commandments are a spiritual resource for social justice. A politically and spiritually brazen prescription for living, the Ten Commandments would turn our world upside down if we actually followed them. Far from being only ethical norms on which everyone already agrees or a remnant of a bygone oppressive era, the Commandments are actually countercultural practices. Today the Ten Commandments are a divisive part of American culture. Religious conservatives champion them, even if they don't always practice them. Religious liberals and the nonreligious may bristle at what they perceive as antiquated moral restrictions. But, this ancient code still has vital contemporary relevance. Rev. Levy-Lyons explores ways the Commandments bring us meaning, illuminate our values, and help us navigate through the turbulent waters of social injustice, environmental crises, and societal inequity. No Other Gods looks at each Commandment in new ways, moving beyond interpersonal morality to the global economy and our hyper-connected age. From the first, You Shall Have No Other Gods Besides Me (Dethrone the Modern Deities of Political, Social, and Corporate Power), to the tenth Do Not Covet (Practice Your Liberation-You Have Enough, You Are Enough)-and all those in between-she underscores how the Commandments can produce a bold spiritual consciousness. Whether you are deeply religious or spiritual-but-not-religious, learn how the Ten Commandments can guide you to resist injustice, heal our earth, and find personal dignity amid the free-for-alls of modern life. "We don't have to invent a bunch of new practices for a meaningful way to live out our spirituality and social justice politics," says Levy-Lyons. "There is a perfectly good set of ten of them, all ready to go, with as much progressive firepower as any of us can handle, that has existed for some three thousand years."
