More Than a Healer
Author: Costi W. Hinn
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310362873
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
How does healing fit into God's will, especially when God doesn't heal? Our hearts, our bodies, and our world are desperate for healing. We all experience brokenness, and we rightfully look to Jesus for restoration. But many Christians have been taught the lie that God will heal us if our faith is strong enough, and that he is punishing us when bad things happen. Growing up in one of the world's leading faith-healing dynasties, Costi Hinn witnessed the tragedy of people chasing after healing more than the Healer. In this book he provides biblical clarity to some of the most challenging questions of the Christian faith. Does grace guarantee healing? How do we catch ourselves from slipping into the trap of seeking God for what he can do for us and not for who he really is? Beginning with the vivid memory of the night he discovered his son's cancer diagnosis—Costi unpacks the layered feelings and questions we have about God and his healing power, and he provides practical principles for growing closer to Jesus. With gentle clarity and biblical wisdom, he explains how to: Faithfully pray for healing while trusting in God's sovereignty. Navigate tough conversations about the topics of divine healing, love, and justice. Hold on to faith even in the most painful trials. More than chasing after the Jesus we want, this hopeful and encouraging book will guide you to discovering the Jesus we truly need—and the true power and hope that comes from a genuine relationship with him.

Pilgrims of Christ on the Muslim Road
Author: Paul-Gordon Chandler
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield Publishers
ISBN: 0742566048
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Today's tensions between the 'Islamic' East and 'Christian' West run high. Here Paul-Gordon Chandler presents fresh thinking in the area of Christian-Muslim relations, showing how Christ_whom Islam reveres as a Prophet and Christianity worships as the divine Messiah_can close the gap between the two religions. Historically, Christians have taken a confrontational or missionary approach toward Islam, leading many Muslims to identify Christianity with the cultural prejudices and hegemonic ambitions of Westerners. On the individual level, Christ-followers within Islam have traditionally been encouraged by Christians to break away from their Muslim communities. Chandler boldly explores how these two major religions_which share much common heritage_can not only co-exist, but also enrich each other. He illustrates his perspective with examples from the life of Syrian novelist Mazhar Mallouhi, widely read in the Middle East. Mallouhi, a self-identified 'Sufi Muslim follower of Christ,' seeks to bridge the chasm of misunderstanding between Muslims and Christians through his novels.

Road To Christ
Author: Dolores Reding
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1462806961
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 91
Book Description
This story is about my road to Christ. The road to learning who Jesus Christ really is and accepting Him as Lord and Savior is the beginning of the road. The road to trying to become more and more like Jesus is a longer and bumpier road. You have probably heard the words, “Grow in Christ.” That is the life-changing and educational part of the trip. We know we will never accomplish becoming exactly like Jesus while we are here on earth, but we do know we will be like Him when we get to heaven. I know one thing though: the walk down the road is wonderful. I am really enjoying the trip. The Bible says that if you believe with all your heart that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for your sins and that He was resurrected on the third day, you are saved and you will be with Him forever. It just seems we try to make everything so much more complicated than it would have to be. So if you are a person who is not saved or who wonders if you are saved, I hope this book helps you. I know having Jesus in my life has been great, and I would not go back to living without Him for anything in this world.

The Christ of the Indian Road
Author: E. Stanley Jones
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1426719205
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 155
Book Description
Jones recounts his experiences in India, where he arrived as a young and presumptuous missionary who later matured into a veteran who attempted to contextualize Jesus Christ within the Indian culture. He names the mistake many Christians make in trying to impose their culture on the existing culture where they are bringing Christ. Instead he makes the case that Christians learn from other cultures, respect the truth that can be found there, and let Christ and the existing culture do the rest.

On the Way to Jesus Christ
Author: Joseph Ratzinger
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1681493659
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 206
Book Description
Jesus Christ is as popular as ever. Films, books, and news articles ask,"Who was Jesus Christ?" Even outside of Christianity he continues to appeal to people. And yet for so many, the popular Jesus is not the Jesus of Christianity. The popular Jesus makes no demands and never challenges people. He accepts everyone and everything under all circumstances. On the Way to Jesus Christ is a series of meditations that Pope Benedict XVI wrote while he was Prefect for the Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith. The true Jesus he writes, is the Jesus of the Gospels who "is quite different, demanding and bold. The Jesus who makes everything okay for everyone is a phantom, a dream, not a real figure. The Jesus of the Gospels is certainly not convenient for us. But it is precisely in this way that he answers the deepest question of our existence, which--whether we want to or not--keeps us on the lookout for God, for a gratification that is limitless, for the infinite. We must again set out on the way to this real Jesus." This book also examines whether Jesus Christ is the only savior, and the Church's responsibility to evangelize. It concludes with reflections on Jesus' Presence in the Holy Eucharist, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church's presentation of the Christian mystery as seen through the Catechism's dynamic view of Sacred Scripture. On the Way to Jesus Christ is for anyone--believer or nonbeliever-who wants better to understand the true Jesus, the Jesus of the Gospels, the Christ of Christianity.
