God has led him, a big sinner saved by His grace, to journal this book titled "Divine Encounters @ Marketplace", epitomes the miracles of Chr1st, nations, marketplace, people and life-on-life over 41 years since his spiritual birth in 1974. Reader Reviews: "I first met Stanley in the summer 2019 in London UK, he passed on his book to me. As I began to read, I realise the rich revelation that it contained, I have recommended this book to many people. The message and revelation and testimony it contains is life changing. " The Very Reverend Alan Dickinson OSL (Newcastle, UK) “After reading a few chapters, I thought to myself : there are 3 possibilities about Stanley - a deluded man, a lunatic or a prophet. After reading half the book and conversing with him for 2 hours, I concluded that he is indeed a prophet and a man of God.” Prof Low Kee Yang (Singapore) “My friend Stanley Cheng’s book will inspire you and encourage you. Based on his extensive (and at times amazing) experience as a follower of Jesus Christ – you will not be disappointed. Equally important, Stanley is a man who ‘walks the talk’ – a man whose life reflects the love and wisdom and joy of Christ. Enjoy!!!” The Honorable Gregory W. Slayton (USA) Former US Ambassador Founder & Chairman of Family First Global “My Pastor passed your book to me and I could not put it down. A prophetic evangelist in the marketplace. Such a rarity, I truly believe meeting you was a Divine Appointment at a critical moment. You and Linda are a complete inspiration.” Annie Barr MBE (Newcastle, UK) “I have gone through your book. Excellent work and very inspirational.” Prof David Lee Seung Hwan (South Korea) “I have finished reading your book. It is an enjoyable book that is easy to read. More importantly, I get inspired by your life testimony. I know that I have a lot to learn from you… ” Dr Michelle Liew (Malaysia) “I read your book and passed it on to a good friend who needs to believe in a God of the possible. Glad that you tell of HIS-stories.” Dr Rachel R (Honduras) “…you are so blessed and chosen as one of God's instruments, which empowered you to advocate as God's living miracle. Thank you so much for sharing in your book and showing us the way and the only way to God, to heaven and to eternity. May you open many peoples’ eyes and hearts and lead them to God. Amen.” Sun Shuna (China) “I’m really touched and impressed by the story of your life, that divine encounters with God. God has really chosen you to glorify His name and did it in a mighty way. God bless you, your family and your ministry.” Mary Shahnazaryan (Armenia ) “...I just finished reading your book few days ago. It's a great blessing for me! May you continue to listen and do what He planned you to do for His Kingdom.” Rey Calabdan (Philippines) “...Thank you for being an inspiration & encouragement to many…You are truly God’s Kingdom Ambassador to the nations.” Tun Boon Chiam (Brunei) “Having read your book this afternoon, I would like to change your interpretation for ALIVE to “Always Live In Vivid Eternity” to match your life in Chr1st because it is so amazing and vivid. May your book encourage more and more godly people to live out Chr1st life and manifest the glory of God” Yu Shi Jie (Hong Kong) “Thank you for your wonderful book. Reading it is indeed a great blessing from the Lord. Praise Him!” Cailan (Mauritius) “In the book, Stanley experienced 2 deaths. 1st time he saw heaven and came back to life. 2nd time he saw hell. However what impressed me most was how God led Stanley each step of the way and blessed him and prosper him in the marketplace and also in his ministry. I would recommend reading it for inspiration.” Margaret Lim-Conan (Canada) “I think there were at least 100 people there at Metro YMCA on 8/3/16. Thank you for reaching out to me, Stanley. I've just given one of your books to another colleague...Thank you too for autographing for my pre-believing boss who is drawing nearer to God's love...Your experiences are such a blessing to us.” Serene Chan (Singapore) “…I have finished reading your book the divine encounters, very inspired and spiritually encouraged and strengthen...must promote this book, many would like to purchase this book for personal reading or as gifts for friends!” Angela Low (JB, Malaysia) “…Read your impactful book. Stanley, you are a natural Evangelist. I have been mentoring 2 men in London – both attending Holy Trinity Brompton. They are good friends – Nicolai Thompson and Andrew Tipping. Both are professionals. Please meet them on my behalf.” Jim Chew (New Zealand/Singapore) "Stanley's book will inspire your walk with Christ. His love, passion and commitment for the Lord has helped many in the marketplace. Signs and wonders will follow those who believe in Jesus." Tony Tay (New Zealand)

Kissing Fish
Author: Roger Wolsey
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 145683942X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 397
Book Description
Christianity receives a lot of attention in the media, but the most frequently discussed version represents a type of Christianity that sometimes turns people away from the Church. Kissing Fish presents a postmodern systematic theology of progressive Christianity, a growing movement that reclaims the radical message of the Gospel. This informative, contemplative, and entertaining book will guide you through the beliefs that inspire us to love one another in the transformative way that Jesus proclaimed, including practices that will take your faith to a new level. Kissing Fish is a scholarly yet thoroughly accessible introduction to progressive Christianity. While the intended target audience for this work would seem to be those who have either left the Christian faith or never adopted it at all; the work is filled with pearls of wisdom for all of us, whether associated with Christianity or not. Kissing Fish is a truly remarkable work, serving both as a reminder of the beauty and grace that form the central tenets of the faith, while offering a graceful yet prophetic rebuttal to its more exclusionary tendencies. Kissing Fish is part theological text and part tell-all personal spiritual journey. Imagine a down-to-earth combination of the works of Marcus Borg, Anne Lamott, Jim Wallis, Rob Bell, Shane Claiborne, Diana Butler-Bass, Brian McLaren, Walter Wink, Wes Howard-Brook, and Donald Miller. A profound romp that informs and inspires.

Speaking Torah Vol 1
Author: Dr. Arthur Green
Publisher: Turner Publishing Company
ISBN: 1580237800
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
The most powerful Hasidic teachings made accessible—from some of the world's preeminent authorities on Jewish thought and spirituality. "The teachings of Torah, from beginning to end, are read here as a path toward liberation, a way of uplifting your soul and allowing it to journey homeward, back to its Source in the oneness of all being. Or, even better, to discover that oneness right here, in a loving but transformative embrace of both world and self." —from "To the Reader" While Hasidic tales have become widely known to modern audiences, the profound spiritual teachings that stand at the very heart of Hasidism have remained a closed book for all except scholars. This fascinating selection—presented in two volumes following the weekly Torah reading and the holiday cycle, and featured in English and Hebrew—makes the teachings accessible in an extraordinary way. Volume 1 covers Genesis, Exodus and Leviticus, and includes a history of early Hasidism and a summary of central religious teachings of the Maggid's school. Volume 2 covers Numbers and Deuteronomy and the holiday cycle, and includes brief biographies of the Hasidic figures. Each teaching is presented with a fresh translation and contemporary commentary that builds a bridge between the eighteenth and twenty-first centuries. And each teaching concludes with a dynamic round-table discussion between distinguished Jewish scholar Arthur Green and his closest students—the editors of this volume. They highlight the wisdom that is most meaningful for them, thus serving as a contemporary circle's reflections on the original mystical circle of master and disciples who created these teachings. Volume 1 of a 2-volume set

Equipping Laypeople for Transformational Workplace Ministry
Author: Caroloretta Tucker
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 1612151388
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
Equipping Laypeople Many Christians fail to see their places of work as their most logical mission field, missing opportunities for both workplace ministry and evangelism. Those who do see their places of work as a mission field are making a tremendous difference where they work. Given the amount of hours typically spent working, the personal trials and dysfunctions many carry with them to work, as well as the poor working conditions of many American workers, there is a tremendous need for Christians to transform their places of work. Even though many pastors tell their church members to go out and reach people, they are not providing them with the necessary training to reach those in the workplace. There is a great need for laypeople to be built up, to be creative, and to live out their faith at work. Pastors have been given the ultimate privilege of equipping God's people for service. Churches must be intentional about providing laypersons with the theological tools and practical information necessary to understand and effectively exercise workplace ministry. We must begin by accepting that all God's people are placed in workplace ministry, and seek to know God's original plan for work, as well as how to integrate work and faith. In EQUIPPING LAYPEOPLE FOR TRANSFORMATIONAL WORKPLACE MINISTRY, Caroloretta Tucker offers her Doctorate's thesis research results to pastors and churches as a firm foundation for this effort.

Languages : en
Pages : 200
Book Description
The Christian life is based upon the irrevocable promises of God, the enjoyment of all that God has prepared for us in Christ, and the transformation that results from the loving discipline of the Spirit. In The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob Watchman Nee draws upon the experiences of the Old Testament patriarchs and presents their lives as an allegory of the complete Christian experience. From our response to God's promises by faith to our ultimate transformation into sons who are conformed to the image of Christ, we must pass through the same life experiences of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Like Abraham, we have been given the promise of God for the inheritance; like Isaac, we can enjoy all that God has planned for us in Christ His Son; and like Jacob, we must experience the discipline of the Holy Spirit for the sake of our growth and transformation.

Jesus Outside the Lines
Author: Scott Sauls
Publisher: Tyndale House Publishers, Inc.
ISBN: 1496403835
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Whether the issue of the day on Twitter, Facebook, or cable news is our sexuality, political divides, or the perceived conflict between faith and science, today’s media pushes each one of us into a frustrating clash between two opposing sides. Polarizing, us-against-them discussions divide us and distract us from thinking clearly and communicating lovingly with others. Scott Sauls, like many of us, is weary of the bickering and is seeking a way of truth and beauty through the conflicts. Jesus Outside the Lines presents Jesus as this way. Scott shows us how the words and actions of Jesus reveal a response that does not perpetuate the destructive fray. Jesus offers us a way forward—away from harshness, caricatures, and stereotypes. In Jesus Outside the Lines, you will experience a fresh perspective of Jesus, who will not (and should not) fit into the sides.

Every Good Endeavour
Author: Timothy Keller
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781444702606
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
In today's increasingly competitive and insecure economic environment, we often question the reason for work: why am I doing this? Why is it so hard? And what can I do about it? Work may seem just a means to an end: we do it to earn the money to enjoy life outside the workplace. Here, Timothy Keller argues that God's plan is radically more ambitious: he actually created us to work. We are to work together to make the world a better place, to help each other, and so to find purpose for our lives. Our faith should enhance our work, and our work should develop our faith.With deep insight, Timothy Keller draws on essential and relevant biblical wisdom to address our questions about work. There is grace available if we have taken the wrong attitude, idolising money and using our careers to glorify ourselves rather than God. This book provides the foundations for a work-life balance where we can thrive both personally and professionally. Keller shows how through excellence, integrity, discipline, creativity and passion in the workplace we can impact society for good.Developing a better attitude to work releases us to serve others humbly, to worship God everyday, and leaves us deeply fulfilled.

Our faith should enhance our work, and our work should develop our faith.With deep insight, Timothy Keller draws on essential and relevant biblical wisdom to address our questions about work. There is grace available if we have taken the wrong attitude, idolising money and using our careers to glorify ourselves rather than God. This book provides the foundations for a work-life balance where we can thrive both personally and professionally. Keller shows how through excellence, integrity, discipline, creativity and passion in the workplace we can impact society for good.Developing a better attitude to work releases us to serve others humbly, to worship God everyday, and leaves us deeply fulfilled.
