Gangster Prayer
Author: Autumn Miles
Publisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 1546015221
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Change your life and become an inspiring, passionate praying warrior who proclaims God's Word with this refreshingly honest guide to strengthening your faith. If you want positive results from prayer, you first need to pray! But so many people who say they believe in the power of prayer actually pray very little . . . or not at all. It's time to get serious about prayer. Autumn Miles says that we must stop being prayer wimps and instead be transformed into "prayer gangsters"--people who are passionate about their faith and loyalty to God. Autumn believes that God wants to give us so much more than what we've been settling for. It's time our prayer life, which has been mediocre at best, becomes something that is: Fervent, intentional, and highly expectant. Gangster Prayer won't teach you how to pray. Instead, it will help reveal the heart behind a believing prayer and put the focus back on who we are praying to instead of on what we are praying for. With a changed perspective and objective, we can finally see the results from prayer we've been longing for--not just answers but a changed life.

Have you ever felt your life was hopeless because of the mistakes you've made? That you're damaged goods, beyond repair, beyond the reach of God's love? Diamonds for Christ will show you how God can turn each disappointment, struggle, fear, obstacle, and pain you've experienced to help you overcome life's challenges to fill you with hope and expectancy.

A life with a sense of purpose, meaning, and hope, knowing that through Christ, all things are possible. There is also a fulfilling and happy life awaiting you.

Pages : 124
Book Description
Hey, readers. I was taught my entire life to attend college from my parents, school, church members, strangers, and whomever, you get my point. Basically the world we live in places high value on a college education but then leave you still hunting for a good paying job and the stress of paying off student loans, then to learn that's not where I belong. "What a surprise to my spirit. She has degrees, but instead, she's a housewife and a mother of four." This is what the whispers of me were, as if I were a waste to society because I have degrees and accepted that the Lord choose me for other works outside of my degrees. Um, no wonder I'm here at Jesus University. At Jesus University, you will gain a deeper relationship with the Lord where healing, planting, building, cooking, and serving souls is what we do at Jesus University. At Jesus University, Christ is our true teacher, having the Lord as our professor and not the aggressor, being taught and not living lost, learning to remove the desires of what you want, and accepting what Jesus requires of you by inquiring about Jesus and gaining a greater desire for His Word, the importance of learning His Word, and having a relationship with the Lord so you can live in this world, remembering not to conform but being transformed by the renewal of your mind. To conform is not to join. To join is to transform. Come, learn with Jesus and be touched by the blessings He has waiting for you inside. You're just in time for open enrollment. All are welcome, and all are accepted. Welcome to Jesus University. What you waiting for? Dig in. Its plenty! Blessings and prosperity toward you. Alicia Crandell

Book Description
Things have changed. The Truth has not. The 1950's are gone forever. The days of the Sunday school attendance award and the much-loved Sunday school picnic have faded into oblivion. Yet some youth ministries still operate as if today's kids are living in a vacuum, unaffected by the changing morals of today's society. How can we reach these kids with the truth of the gospel? More than fifty of America's youth experts give advice and encouragement to those who long to see this generation know the love of Christ. They help readers think through their philosophies of youth ministry, break down barriers that impede progress, and maximize their own gifts and the gifts of those who work with them. They answer tough questions such as: How can leaders build a relational youth ministry? How can we find and support volunteers? What are the issues women face in youth ministry? How do we minister in ethnic communities? How should we respond to popular culture? How can we help hurting adolescents? You can have a vibrant youth ministry even in these uncertain times. You can reach this generation for Christ.

Beyond Christian Hip Hop
Author: Erika D. Gault
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429589654
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Christians and Christianity have been central to Hip Hop since its inception. This book explores the intersection of Christians and Hip Hop and the multiple outcomes of this intersection. It lays out the ways in which Christians and Hip Hop overlap and diverge. The intersection of Christians and Hip Hop brings together African diasporic cultures, lives, memories and worldviews. Moving beyond the focus on rappers and so-called "Christian Hip Hop," each chapter explores three major themes of the book: identifying Hip Hop, irreconcilable Christianity, and boundaries.There is a self-identified Christian Hip Hop (CHH) community that has received some scholarly attention. At the same time, scholars have analyzed Christianity and Hip Hop without focusing on the self-identified community. This book brings these various conversations together and show, through these three themes, the complexities of the intersection of Christians and Hip Hop. Hip Hop is more than rap music, it is an African diasporic phenomenon. These three themes elucidate the many characteristics of the intersection between Christians and Hip Hop and our reasoning for going beyond "Christian Hip Hop." This collection is a multi-faceted view of how religious belief plays a role in Hip Hoppas' lives and community. It will, therefore, be of great interest to scholars of Religion and Hip Hop, Hip Hop, African Diasporas, Religion and the Arts, Religion and Race and Black Theology as well as Religious Studies more generally.

Holy Hip Hop in the City of Angels
Author: Christina Zanfagna
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520296206
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 218
Book Description
A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program for monographs. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. In the 1990s, Los Angeles was home to numerous radical social and environmental eruptions. In the face of several major earthquakes and floods, riots and economic insecurity, police brutality and mass incarceration, some young black Angelenos turned to holy hip hop—a movement merging Christianity and hip hop culture—to “save” themselves and the city. Converting street corners to open-air churches and gangsta rap beats into anthems of praise, holy hip hoppers used gospel rap to navigate complicated social and spiritual realities and to transform the Southland’s fractured terrains into musical Zions. Armed with beats, rhymes, and bibles, they journeyed through black Lutheran congregations, prison ministries, African churches, reggae dancehalls, hip hop clubs, Nation of Islam meetings, and Black Lives Matter marches. Zanfagna’s fascinating ethnography provides a contemporary and unique view of black LA, offering a much-needed perspective on how music and religion intertwine in people's everyday experiences.
