Dare We Speak of Hope?
Author: Allan Aubrey Boesak
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 1467440329
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
The phrase "hopeful politics" has dominated our public discourse in connection with the inspiring rise of Nelson Mandela in South Africa and the remarkable election of Barack Obama as president of the United States. But what happens when that hope disappoints? Can it be salvaged? What is the relationship between faith, hope, and politics? In this book Allan Boesak meditates on what it really means to hope in light of present political realities and growing human pain. He argues that hope comes to life only when we truly face reality in the struggle for justice, dignity, and the life of the earth. Dare We Speak of Hope? is a critical, provocative, prophetic -- and, above all, hopeful -- book.

Preachers Dare
Author: Bishop William H. Willimon
Publisher: Abingdon Press
ISBN: 1791008062
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
Preachers Dare is adapted from Will Willimon’s Lyman Beecher Lectures on Preaching at Yale and is inspired by a quote from the great theologian Karl Barth. In a world in which sermons too often become hackneyed conventional wisdom or tame common sense, preachers dare to speak about the God who speaks to us as Jesus Christ. Willimon draws upon his decades of preaching, as well as his many books on the practice of homiletics, to present a bold theology of preaching. This work emphasizes preaching as a distinctively theological endeavor that begins with and is enabled by God. God speaks, preachers dare to speak the speech of God, and the church dares to listen. By moving from the biblical text to the contemporary context, preachers dare to speak up for God so that God might speak today. With fresh biblical insights, creativity and pointed humor, Willimon gives today’s preachers and congregations encouragement to speak with the God who has so graciously and effusively spoken to us.

'I knew immediately this was not just any angel. He had an authoritative and majestic aura all around him. This angel stood tall with his shoulders back and his wings flared higher than his head, and they flowed downward touching the ground. The angel was at least seven feet tall, although the three people with him were very short, they looked just alike and had buster brown haircuts. It was breathtaking.'Dare to Listenis the poignant memoir of one woman who opened her ears and was able to open her heart, and who encourages her readers to do the same.

These messages, whether through vision, voices, or visitations have all given her strength at times when she needed it most.

Her stories may be your stories too, especially if you've lost a child. Read to be blessed. Read to be challenged. Examine your own faith in the light of your own experiences. To paraphrase Socrates, 'An unexamined faith is not worth living.'

I Dare to Say
Author: Hilda Twongyeirwe
Publisher: Chicago Review Press
ISBN: 1569769699
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Featuring the real-life experiences of contemporary African women who tell of atrocities, pain, motherhood, marriage, love, and courage in their daily life, this gripping collection brings greater awareness to a continuing struggle. Denied a voice by their own culture for centuries, these women speak out for the first time, sharing poignant tales of abuse and womanhood robbed, revealing their methods of survival, and divulging their dreams for themselves and their children. A girl describes hiding under a blanket from the Lord's Resistance Army in search of child brides; a woman speaks of her family abuse and rejection followed by the deaths of her child and partner only to learn later that the father of her child was already married with eight children and had AIDS. Dramatic, sometimes heartbreaking, often inspiring, this is the first book to truly show what it means to be a 21st-century African woman.

Dare We Speak of God in Public?
Author: Frances Margaret Young
Publisher: Continuum
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 186
Book Description
Religion has become a private and personal matter in today's society. God is not expected to make an appearance in public debate on issues such as education, ecology or politics. This book, based on the 1994 Cadbury Lectures, looks at the contribution theology can make to public debate. Each contributor approaches the dilemma of why God-language has become marginalized in our society from the area of their own expertise. Although none sidesteps the reality of a very much reduced emphasis on religious life and values, this book provides a positive vision of the value of religious concepts in public life.
