Book Description
The greatest opportunity one has is to go on a venture with someone important. The Courseys went on an adventure with God as he called them into a special task with him. He performed wonders as he led them toward the fulfillment of the task he assigned them. They have written fifteen true life stories, mostly of Kenya, of different events that occurred along the way. Not all the situations were fun filled at the time, but with them in the rearview mirror, the Courseys enjoy laughing about them. There were troubles on the road and at home, in floods and dry times, by slithery creatures as well as by two-legged and four-legged creatures, and there were times of good health and times of health concerns. Some of these could have turned into quite bad situations. As the Courseys look back, they can enjoy and laugh at many of the situations with their children and friends and appreciate the ways by which the Lord brought them through each one. They desire to share some of them with you. They recommend that everyone follow God wherever he leads them and, in doing this experience, the best life possible. God brought the Courseys home. He will also bring you home as you venture with him.

Pages : 276
Book Description
If you’re brave enough to take an honest look at the issues facing the culture–controlled church–and the issues in your own life–read on. Do you ever look at how the Christian faith is being lived out in the new millennium and wonder if we’re not doing what we’re supposed to be doing? That we still haven’t quite “gotten it”? That we’ve missed the point regarding many important issues? It’s understandable if we’ve relied on what we’ve been told to believe or what’s widely accepted by the Christian community. But if we truly turned a constructive, critical eye toward our beliefs and vigorously questioned them and their origins, where would we find ourselves? Best-selling authors Brian McLaren and Tony Campolo invite you to do just that. Join them on an adventure–one that’s about uncovering and naming faulty conclusions, suppositions, and assumptions about the Christian faith. In Adventures in Missing the Point, the authors take turns addressing how we’ve missed the point on crucial topics such as: Salvation, The Bible, Being Postmodern, Worship, Homosexuality, Truth, and many more…

Much of what we see expressed in the church today is built on more than just the New Testament. It's built mostly on the Old Testament, Church culture, and Paganism. If we are to succeed in making disciples of all nations then we must go back to the "template" we find in the Bible. Let the reformation begin!

The Adventures of Theagenes and Chariclea
Author: Heliodorus of Emesa
Publisher: Graphic Arts Books
ISBN: 1513274600
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 185
Book Description
The Adventures of Theagenes and Chariclea (c. 3rd-4th century C.E.) is an ancient Greek romance novel by Heliodorus of Emesa. Rediscovered in manuscript form in the sixteenth century, the novel is written in the tradition of Homer and Euripides, and has since been recognized as foundational to the development of the novel as a literary form. When she is born with white skin, Chariclea, the daughter of King Hydaspes and Queen Persinna of Ethiopia, threatens to bring scandal to the royal family. Fearful of being accused of adultery, the queen makes the tragic decision to give her newborn to a philosopher named Sisimithras, a philosopher. In his care, Chariclea is taken to Egypt to be raised by a Pythian priest named Charicles. One day, a Thessalian hero named Theagenes arrives in Delphi, where he meets Chariclea, now a renowned priestess. The two fall in love and embark on a journey that will bring them face to face with pirates, bandits, and the royal parents of Chariclea themselves. A classic work of romance and adventure, The Adventures of Theagenes and Chariclea was influential for Byzantine Greek writers and was read, adapted, and admired by such novelists as Miguel Cervantes and Aphra Behn. As an object of classical scholarship, it has proved instrumental not only for divining a link between the poets and dramatists of the ancient world and the writers of the early modern era, but for understanding the development of the novel as a cultural product and popular form of literature. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Heliodorus of Emesa’s The Adventures of Theagenes and Chariclea is a classic of ancient Greek literature reimagined for modern readers.
