DOWNLOAD EBOOKA slave runs away from his master. A mutual friend steps in to mediate between the two of them. Can there be healing in such a scarred relationship? In the face of such a daunting breach, is reconciliation (not to what was, but to what God designed) even possible? This is the situation faced in the book of Philemon. From this short New Testament letter, pastor and author Dhati Lewis (Among Wolves) unpacks key principles that Paul applied to being an advocate in the midst of division. The divisions of our day don’t look the same as Paul’s, but the principles are timeless. In 2 Corinthians 5, God commissioned us to be his ambassadors and gave us the ministry of reconciliation. Whether we’re engaging in issues of politics, ethnicity, or religious beliefs, our heart posture should be one of an advocate set on reconciliation. The problem is, too many of us approach difficult conversations with the heart of an aggravator. Aggravators sometimes look like they are pursuing good things, but their heart is not toward reconciliation. Any motive less than reconciliation falls short of the desires of God’s heart. We need godly advocates in every sphere of life. This book will specifically apply these principles to issues of ethnic division. Are you willing to call any division caused by discrimination, prejudice, or racism a sin? Do you want to grow in your ability to navigate tense and emotional conversations about ethnic divisions? Are you ready to become an advocate?

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSatan is not God’s enemy in the Bible, and he’s not always bad—much less evil. Through the lens of the Old and New Testaments, Erik Butler explores the Devil in literature, theology, visual art, and music from antiquity up to the present, discussing canonical authors (Dante, Milton, and Goethe among them) and a wealth of lesser-known sources. Since his first appearance in the Book of Job, Satan has pursued a single objective: to test human beings, whose moral worth and piety leave plenty of room for doubt. Satan can be manipulative, but at worst he facilitates what mortals are inclined to do anyway. “The Devil made me do it” does not hold up in the court of cosmic law. With wit and surprising examples, this book explains why.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEddie and Alice Smith are well-known as leaders who focus on the power of prayer, and they receive continual requests for information about how to be an effective intercessor for the needs of others. This book contains their unique teaching for intercessors, and uses the analogy of a legal courtroom to show us the importance of standing before God in prayer and intercession as advocates for others. It helps us to envision the nature of heaven’s courtroom, and gives the steps for conquering the adversary, Satan, in heaven’s court.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKTina Beattie has written a stunning book on the theology of woman. Her stated objective is to discern the place of the female body in the Christian story of salvation and she has done so from the very heart of Christian stylisations of the female--the figures of Mary and Eve.Beattie has pursued her subject with the aid of French psychoanalytic feminism--these writers are preoccupied, as is Catholic theology, with questions of language and symbolism. But she deliberately puts herself at odds with neo-orthodoxy and feminist liberal theology; she believes that theologians like von Balthasar depart from the best Patristic tradition of Marian theology with disastrous effect. Nor does she offer any solace to the Marina Warners of this world in a book which is strong in defence of classical Marian theology.She defends with passion and theological insight not only the Virgin Birth, the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption but also the perpetual virginity of Mary.Virginal desire, according to Beattie, need not be seen negatively but as an affirmation of the integrity of women's desire before God, in a way not dependent on the phallus nor reducible to geniality.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKRarely does a new theological position emerge to account well for life in the world, including not only goodness and beauty but also tragedy and randomness. Drawing from Scripture, science, philosophy and various theological traditions, Thomas Jay Oord offers a novel theology of providence—essential kenosis—that emphasizes God's inherently noncoercive love in relation to creation.

For it is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." *** Though it may seem impossible to open the eyes of those who are willfully blind, with God all things are possible. *** “GOD LOVES YOU. GOD DEFENDED THE VICTIMS FROM THE BEGINNINGS.” *** Whoever despises the Morality of Forgiveness will be saturated by Justice. *** I have searched a man with a candle during the day like Diogenes, the cynic, and I found Him in Heaven, and His Name is Jesus Christ. *** A blind man has the liberty to deny the existence of the Sun, but the blind man exists because of the Sun.” “** God loves the humankind, be humane! *** The truth is the delight of angels and the pain of men. *** The Holy Infinite Love of God, is our Judge and Savior, at the same time. Be Holy! *** The one who is perfect in the love for God is made perfect by God. *** The light is powerful, but the men are blind. *** The Humanity is our Power, not our weakness. *** Christmas doesn't mean cakes, but the love of God. *** Rejecting God for group conformity is an unforgivable sin. *** This is the judgment: The Light has come into the world and the men loved the darkness more than The Light because their works were evil” John 3:19 *** “The Holy Infinite Love of God, is our Judge and Savior, at the same time. *** The philosophy of darkness is more dangerous than the atomic bomb because it separates us from our protector, God. This book is a spiritual fight against the philosophy of darkness, it is the philosophy of light and it will help you to find your way home, into the Light. God, bless you all, my brothers. ll, and above all thank you!”
