Book Description
In Drawing Near, John Bevere invites readers to explore a life of intimacy with God. Emphasizing the need for obedience, he urges us to practice-just as we would practice anything we hope to improve-our communication with the Holy Spirit. Understanding that prayer is a dialogue, not a monologue, Bevere encourages us to listen at the Father's feet. Study questions in each chapter offer opportunity for reflection, and a "How to draw near to God" section offers practical steps toward developing true intimacy with Him.

Created to Draw Near
Author: Edward T. Welch
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433566419
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
You are a royal priest. That Reality Will Change Your Life Human beings are wired for connection. We long for deep relationships and real intimacy—both of which reflect our fundamental desire to be close to God. But all too often, whether because of our sin or our failures, we imagine that God prefers to keep his distance. In this book, Edward T. Welch shows us the purpose for which we were created: to be brought near to God as a kingdom of priests. He traces the priestly identity throughout the entire Bible, showing us how holiness leads to closeness to God. Through the blood of Jesus, God extends his invitation for all to draw near with open arms. And in his presence, we discover what it means to be truly human: known, unashamed, and wise, full of meaning, purpose, and abundant life.

Drawing the Sea Near
Author: C. Anne Claus
Publisher: U of Minnesota Press
ISBN: 1452959471
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
How Japanese coastal residents and transnational conservationists collaborated to foster relationships between humans and sea life Drawing the Sea Near opens a new window to our understanding of transnational conservation by investigating projects in Okinawa shaped by a “conservation-near” approach—which draws on the senses, the body, and memory to collapse the distance between people and their surroundings and to foster collaboration and equity between coastal residents and transnational conservation organizations. This approach contrasts with the traditional Western “conservation-far” model premised on the separation of humans from the environment. Based on twenty months of participant observation and interviews, this richly detailed, engagingly written ethnography focuses on Okinawa’s coral reefs to explore an unusually inclusive, experiential, and socially just approach to conservation. In doing so, C. Anne Claus challenges orthodox assumptions about nature, wilderness, and the future of environmentalism within transnational organizations. She provides a compelling look at how transnational conservation organizations—in this case a field office of the World Wide Fund for Nature in Okinawa—negotiate institutional expectations for conservation with localized approaches to caring for ocean life. In pursuing how particular projects off the coast of Japan unfolded, Drawing the Sea Near illuminates the real challenges and possibilities of work within the multifaceted transnational structures of global conservation organizations. Uniquely, it focuses on the conservationists themselves: why and how has their approach to project work changed, and how have they themselves been transformed in the process?

ISBN: 1636980597
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 183
Book Description
Pasquale R. Mingarelli celebrates God as Creator through photography in his devotional Drawing Near. Drawing Near features the work of professional photographer Pasquale R. Mingarelli, who pairs photographs of the natural world with God’s Word. This gorgeous devotional offers readers a delightful way to escape the distractions of this world and intentionally meet with God in a secluded place, just as Jesus did (Mark 1:35). With Drawing Near, believers will dive deep into the context of overlooked Bible verses about nature in order to better understand and know the heart of God. It features Bible passages that address God’s power, His wisdom, His glory, His presence and His love. Mingarelli’s devotional shows readers how to meditate on and apply these verses throughout the “busy-ness” of everyday life. The beauty of God’s creation is meant to be a testament to who He is and how He desires connection with His people. Drawing Near allows those who love to get out in nature to enjoy the world’s natural beauty anywhere—from the office breakroom to a quiet room at home, to a park bench beneath an outstretched tree. In a world that demands attention and often pulls people away from God, Drawing Near offers a place of peace and a time with God.

Mounce's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words
Author: William D. Mounce
Publisher: Zondervan Academic
ISBN: 0310859700
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 1544
Book Description
For years, Vine’s Expository Dictionary has been the standard word study tool for pastors and laypeople, selling millions of copies. But sixty-plus years of scholarship have shed extensive new light on the use of biblical Greek and Hebrew, creating the need for a new, more accurate, more thorough dictionary of Bible words. William Mounce, whose Greek grammar has been used by more than 100,000 college and seminary students, is the editor of this new dictionary, which will become the layperson’s gold standard for biblical word studies. Mounce’s is ideal for the reader with limited or no knowledge of Greek or Hebrew who wants greater insight into the meanings of biblical words to enhance Bible study. It is also the perfect reference for busy pastors needing to quickly get at the heart of a word’s meaning without wading through more technical studies. What makes Mounce’s superior to Vine’s? The most accurate, in-depth definitions based on the best of modern evangelical scholarship Both Greek and Hebrew words are found under each English entry (Vine’s separates them) Employs both Strong’s and G/K numbering systems (Vine’s only uses Strong’s) Mounce’s accuracy is endorsed by leading scholars
