Book Description
More than one million people from all walks of life have been uplifted and entertained by Heaven Bound, the folk drama that follows, through song and verse, the struggles between Satan and a band of pilgrims on their way down the path of glory that leads to the golden gates. Staged annually and without interruption for more than seventy years at Big Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Atlanta, Heaven Bound is perhaps the longest running black theater production. Here, a lifelong member of Big Bethel with many close ties to Heaven Bound recounts its lively history and conveys the enduring power and appeal of an Atlanta tradition that is as much a part of the city as Coca-Cola or Gone with the Wind.

Sharing Jesus without Freaking Out
Author: Alvin Reid
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
ISBN: 143364391X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
You were born for this. God hardwired you—yes, you—for this. I'm talking about sharing Jesus with others. What if I told you evangelism is less about delivering a polished presentation and more about having a real conversation? What if I told you that God has created you to bring glory to himself by sharing Jesus with others, and that you don’t need years of training to obey what he already made you to do? God created you for his glory to advance his gospel with the gifts, talents, and opportunities he gave you. You live at this time in history for a purpose bigger than yourself. In these pages you will read how to connect the gospel story with your story, and how to talk about that story in normal conversations with people you know. No gimmicks. Nothing clever. No need to freak out. Just you, Jesus, and others—in conversations that matter.

Dust Bound for Heaven
Author: Reinhard Hütter
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 1467436720
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 461
Book Description
In Dust Bound for Heaven Reinhard Hütter shows how Thomas Aquinas's view of the human being as dust bound for heaven weaves together elements of two questions without fusion or reduction. Does humanity still have an insatiable thirst for God that sends each person on an irrepressible religious quest that only the vision of God can quench? Or must the human being, living after the fall, become a "new creation" in order to be readied for heaven? Hütter also applies Thomas's anthropology to a host of pressing contemporary concerns, including the modern crisis of faith and reason, political theology, the relationship between divine grace and human freedom, and many more. The concluding chapter explores the Christological center of Thomas's theology.

Yes! Jesus Is the Only Way to Heaven
Author: Renee E. Woods
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1532084277
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
All people are travelers through life. Although we may take different approaches on our journey, we are all eventually headed for a destination. If you’re not thinking about the endpoint of your travels, now is the time to start. In Yes! Jesus Is the Only Way to Heaven, author Renee E. Woods shares the testimony of the life of a traveler whose journey would have ended in hell, from which there would be no escape. Thank God, that trip has been forever canceled; she has been rerouted and one day will enter into heaven, a destination that comes with everlasting benefits. Woods has a vital message to share: God gave humanity free choice to accept or reject His perfect will for salvation through the propitiation of Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of the Father. And the only infallible way to be saved from hell and enter heaven is to accept Jesus. Full of thought-provoking testimonies and scriptures, this study presents an inspirational exploration of faith and an invitation to all to embrace what God has to offer.

A Place Called Heaven
Author: E. M. Bounds
Publisher: Whitaker House
ISBN: 1629110914
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
If heaven is truly a paradise where God dwells, we should desire it more than anything on this frail, fleeting earth. The trials and difficulties of life should each be seen in light of the coming glory of heaven. Unfortunately, we rarely view things from this perspective. Our schedules are filled with the present, allowing no time for contemplating or desiring eternity. Our incorrect perspective makes us spend our time on the least important things while ignoring those things that are most crucial. Take a break from the present and let E. M. Bounds help you discover A Place Called Heaven. Examining virtually all the Scriptures that pertain to heaven, Bounds masterfully explains the nature of heaven and our purpose in it. Get a taste of heaven here on earth, learn a true Christian attitude toward eternity, and discover a purer, truer life.
