Pages : 170
Book Description
Profound reflections on the cross that help you to meditate on and marvel at the sacrificial love of Jesus. This book can be used as a devotional, especially during Lent and Easter. These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection-enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done.

This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.

Book Description
Kahlil Gibran considered The Prophet his greatest achievement. He said: "I think I've never been without The Prophet since I first conceived it in Mount Lebanon. It seems to have been a part of me....I kept the manuscript four years before I delivered it over to my publisher, because I wanted to be sure, I wanted to be very sure, that every word of it was the very best I had to offer." The Chicago Post said of The Prophet: "Cadenced and vibrant with feeling, the words of Kahlil Gibran bring to one's ears the majestic rhythm of Ecclesiastes....If there is a man or woman who can read this book without a quiet acceptance of a great man's philosophy and a singing in the heart as of music born within, that man or woman is indeed dead to life and truth."

Joy Comes in the Mourning

ISBN: 9781620244999
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
I have learned that in the middle of the most severe pain, God is enough. He is always enough.' From foreign missionary to convicted felon, Joel Price's clandestine world collided with reality to create a cyclone of uncertainty for his wife, Tabitha, and three young sons, ending their idyllic life forever. As Joel sought in secret to overcome his obsession and addiction on his own, he slipped over the precipice of self-destruction leading to a federal investigation and ultimately to incarceration. In a bold and risky move, Tabitha Price lays bare her shattered world, addressing issues long veiled in silence by Christian society. With ragged vulnerability she testifies to God's hand at work in the midst of tragedy, from lessons on forgiveness, to the beauty of God's all-sufficiency. When all hope seems lost and your world spins out of control, the Prices' story is a powerful reminder that God gives joy in the mourning. '...page after page the reader discovers hope, redemption, forgiveness, healing, and joy.' -Carol Kent, Speaker and Author '...an agonizing and compelling account-of the sin and shame that could be ours, of the love and loyalty that comes with faith, and of the depth and spiritual maturity that only comes with brokenness.' -Dr. Joel C. Hunter, Senior Pastor, Northland - A Church Distributed

A Time to Mourn, a Time to Dance
Author: Gary A. Anderson
Publisher: Penn State University Press
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Anthropologists have long known that different cultures give expression to their symbol systems through external mediums such as food and clothing, but they have not recognized as readily that cultures also mold emotional life to fit particular patterns of meaning. This prejudice against the role of behaviors in shaping the emotional and cognitive life is especially strong in the study of religion. Gary Anderson's study reveals that, in the Israelite culture (and later, the Jewish culture), mourning and joy as emotional experiences have visible behavioral components for both the individual and the community at large. The best evidence of this can be found in rabbinical texts that prescribe behaviors appropriate to joy and determine when this ritual state supersedes that of mourning. For example, on religious feast days, mourning is forbidden and joy is prescribed. Mourning cannot resume until after the festival. The terms "mourning" and "joy" so employed do not refer to simple emotional states, but rather constitute a discrete set of ritual behaviors. In fact, the types of discrete behaviors that constitute joy (eating, drinking, festal song, anointing with oil, festive attire, sexual relations) all have exact anti-types in the ritual of mourning (fasting, dirges, putting ashes on the head, rending one's garments or putting on sackcloth, sexual continence). Anderson shows that it is not only the rabbinical texts that use the terms "mourning" and "joy" in this way; rabbinic tradition is simply heir to a much older tradition, as witnessed in biblical and other ancient Near Eastern narratives such as the Gilgamesh Epic.
