ISBN-13: 1433523787
DOWNLOAD EBOOKHow are Christians to approach the central gospel teachings concerning the death and resurrection of Jesus? The Bible firmly establishes the historicity of these events and doesn't leave their meanings ambiguous or open to interpretation. Even so, there is an irony and surprising strangeness to the cross. Carson shows that this strange irony has deep implications for our lives as he examines the history and theology of Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection. Scandalous highlights important theological truths in accessible and applicable ways. Both amateur theologians and general readers will appreciate how Carson deftly preserves weighty theology while simultaneously noting the broader themes of Jesus' death and resurrection. Through exposition of five primary passages of Scripture, Carson helps us to more fully understand and appreciate the scandal of the cross.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWinner of a 2016 Association of Catholic Publishers Excellence in Publishing Award (first place, inspirational books). Winner of a 2020 Catholic Press Association book award (honorable mention, backlist beauty). In this edgy, honest, and often audacious book of Catholic spirituality, blogger and popular podcaster Maria Morera Johnson explores the qualities of twenty-four holy women who lived lives of virtue in unexpected and often difficult circumstances. In My Badass Book of Saints, Johnson shares her experience as a first-generation Cuban-American, educator of at-risk college students, and caregiver for a husband with Lou Gehrig's disease. Through humorous, empowering, and touching portraits of twenty-four spiritual mentors who inspired her, Johnson shows how their bravery, integrity, selflessness, perseverance, and hope helped her and can help others have courage to reach for a closer connection to God. She presents remarkable holy women and saints--including the gun-toting Servant of God Sr. Blandina Segale who tried to turn the heart of Billy the Kid, and Nazi resister Irena Sendler who helped smuggle children out of the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II--in a way that brings their vivid personalities to life and helps readers live out the challenges of their lives with virtue and conviction. The book includes a group discussion guide.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRenowned pastor-theologian Gregory A. Boyd tackles the BibleÕs biggest dilemma. Ê The Old Testament God of wrath and violence versus the New Testament God of love and peaceÑitÕs a difference that has troubled Christians since the first century. Now, with the sensitivity of a pastor and the intellect of a theologian, Gregory A. Boyd proposes the Òcruciform hermeneutic,Ó a way to read the Old Testament portraits of God through the lens of JesusÕ crucifixion. Ê In Cross Vision, Boyd follows up on his epic and groundbreaking study, The Crucifixion of the Warrior God. He shows how the death and resurrection of Jesus reframes the troubling violence of the Old Testament, how all of Scripture reveals GodÕs self-sacrificial love, and, most importantly, how we can follow JesusÕ example of peace.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKMy address didn't change to easy street after becoming a Christian, but the sorrows and struggles and even the persecutions that followed were still a light affliction compared to the darkness of my past. There's one big difference. Before I became a Christian, I was completely alone. There was no one! It was dark, empty, and very, very lonely. But since my salvation, I have never walked it alone. That was thirty-five years ago—half a lifetime ago—and I am more in love with Jesus than ever.When she was only eighteen months old, Janet DeAngelo was placed in an orphanage where she stayed until the age of ten. For the next five years, she was in and out of foster homes and suffered sexual abuse at the hands of foster parents and her birth father. Her adult relationships were equally tumultuous, and her husband Nick brought her even more pain. But what Satan intended for evil, God used for her good. After a lifetime of afflictions, Janet had a miraculous encounter with the Lord and was Rescued.'Janet's heart-wrenching story reveals the life changing way out of every 'fire' and gives hope to those walking in the very shoes she once wore. Rescued will unveil the lies and tactics of Satan that is operating in many lives today. Janet is living proof that God's saving grace is for ALL, no matter how deep the pit. Get ready to be touched and delivered from deep wounds that have been hidden for far too long.' —Minister Merari Rodriquez, Radicals-4-Christ, Boca Raton, Florida.

II - Gospel Expression (Galatians 3-4): In these chapters, Paul mines the glorious truths of the gospel and powerfully lays them out for his readers. III - Gospel Implications (Galatians 5-6): In these chapters, Paul brings his high theology to the everyday life of a believer and clearly illustrates how our lives should be radically reoriented and transformed in light of the gospel.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDavid Rosenfelt's Dogtripping is moving and funny account of a cross-country move from California to Maine, and the beginnings of a dog rescue foundation. When mystery writer David Rosenfelt and his family moved from Southern California to Maine, he thought he had prepared for everything. They had mapped the route, brought three GPSs for backup, as well as refrigerators full of food, and stoves and microwaves on which to cook them. But traveling with twenty-five dogs turned out to be a bigger ordeal than he anticipated, despite the RVs, the extra kibble, volunteers (including a few readers), and camping equipment. Rosenfelt recounts the adventure of moving his animal companions across the United States with humor and warmth, and tells the tale of how he and his wife became passionate foster parents for rescue dogs, culminating in the creation of the Tara Foundation and successfully placing several thousand dogs with loving families.
