Fields of Grace
Author: Hannah Luce
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 147672962X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
In this remarkable tale of hope and survival, Hannah Luce tells how, as the sole survivor of a terrible plane crash, she came to grips with her faith: “a calamitous, fascinating memoir, written with surprising spiritual sophistication” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). On May 11, 2012, a small plane carrying five young adults, en route to a Christian youth rally, crashed in a Kansas field, skidding 200 yards before hitting a tree and bursting into flames. Only two survived the crash: ex-marine Austin Anderson, who would die the next morning from extensive burns, and his friend Hannah Luce, the daughter of Teen Mania founder and influential youth minister Ron Luce. This is Hannah’s story. In Fields of Grace, Hannah details the investigation of her faith, her coming-of-age as the dutiful daughter of Evangelical royalty, her decision to join her father’s ministry outreach to teens, and her miraculous survival and recovery following the accident. It also serves as a tribute and testament to the lives of the dear friends who perished in the catastrophic plane crash and reveals how their memory continues to inspire all that she does. Here is the “riveting personal account” (Booklist) of a girl who grew up as the daughter of one of the most influential evangelical leaders of our time, who questioned her early religious convictions somewhere along the way and who, from the embers of that doomed plane ride, finally found her faith.

Book Description
The year is 1972, the age of hippies screaming for peace sweeps the land! Long-haired boys and young girls wearing mini skirts, and having painted flowers on their faces were trying to 'find themselves' by way of drugs or the 'new morality'! The news reported on protests at campuses across the country, where peace was fought for over violent clashes with police even as the Vietnam War raged. But a shy, seventeen year old boy in the Deep South is fascinated by a different movement spreading throughout the land. They called themselves 'Jesus People' and were speaking of a personal relationship with the Lord; as though one could converse with Him as with a close friend. He hungered and searched for a deeper walk, something that went beyond the borders of mere religiosity. His search for God eventually led him to a group that met weekly in the nearby town of Biloxi and was simply called, the 'Farm'. So enthralled with the apparent sincerity of these folks, he left the traditional church he had been raised in and encouraged his family to do the same. Thinking that he'd finally found the answer to the loneliness and disappointments of his life, he was drawn toward the teachings of these 'Believers'. But slowly that idyllic dream began to turn into a horrifying nightmare. The heavy burdensome teachings formed chains of bondage around his spirit, which seemed impossible to escape! However, the Lord is true to His Word and reveals Himself to all who seek after Him! The help from heaven came to this boy through unexpected sources, people whom he had been taught to think of as 'unenlightened'. But Jesus often uses the simple to confound the wise, creating a humble heart within us, and enabling us to see the truth.

Oral Roberts and the Rise of the Prosperity Gospel
Author: Jonathan Root
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 1467466816
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
In 1946, God gave Oral Roberts a new Buick. And this just one of many miracles the young, broke preacher learned to expect, as Oral Roberts would go on to build an evangelistic ministry worth millions of dollars, a medical complex, and a university. How do we interpret the life of a man who seemed to combine rampant consumerist excess with a sincere devotion to the gospel? Seeking to answer this question, Jonathan Root weaves together accounts of Oral Roberts’s life in a balanced and engaging narrative. This fresh biography covers Roberts’s early life during the Great Depression in Oklahoma, his family’s financial struggles during his early career as a Pentecostal preacher, his healing ministry’s explosive growth in popularity via the new media of radio and television, and his empire’s eventual collapse. Root pays special attention to how Roberts introduced the “prosperity gospel” to American Protestants with his affirmation that God intends his followers to be both spiritually and physically fulfilled. Root’s engaging narration looks to primary sources on Roberts’s life as well as the mythologized stories he told years later. The man who emerges is both deeply flawed and entirely earnest in his devotion to Christ. Oral Roberts and the Rise of the Prosperity Gospel will be an absorbing read for all those interested in American religious history and one of its most colorful figures.
