Pages : 224
Book Description
Is it possible to embrace suffering as a privilege, rather than a punishment? Beloved authors Katherine and Jay Wolf offer readers the bold invitation to trust a known God with an unknown future, as well as practical insights into surviving anything by redefining how we think about everything. After miraculously surviving a near-fatal brainstem stroke at age 26, as told in their memoir, Hope Heals, life for Katherine and Jay Wolf changed forever - and so did the way they viewed God, the world, and themselves in it. There was no going back to normal after such a tragedy. Yet Katherine and Jay learned that suffering is not the end, but rather the beginning of a new story. In Suffer Strong, they invite us into this new story as they share universal lessons and helpful practices that will help us to: Recognize we are being equipped for an uncommon assignment, not cursed by our story. Transform our unmet expectations into brave anticipations. Disrupt the myth that joy can only be found in a pain-free life. Rewrite the narrative of hard circumstances by turning our definitions of suffering into declarations of strength. And, ultimately, thrive even in the lives we never imagined living.

Rethinking Sexuality
Author: Dr. Juli Slattery

ISBN: 0735291489
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
This ground-breaking resource challenges and equips Christians to think and act biblically and compassionately in matters of sexuality. Sexual abuse, sex addiction, gender confusion, brokenness, and shame plague today's world, and people are seeking clarity and hope.

It provides a framework from which to understand the big picture of sexual challenges and wholeness, and helps you recognize that every sexual question is ultimately a spiritual one. It shifts the paradigm from combating sexual problems to confidently proclaiming and modeling the road to sacred sexuality. Instead of arguing with the world about what's right and wrong about sexual choices, this practical resource equips you to share the love and grace of Jesus as you encounter the pain of sexual brokenness--your own or someone else's.

500 Years
Author: Gary Ray
Publisher: Covenant Press
ISBN: 1973210045
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
October 31, 2017 was the 500th anniversary of one of the most momentous events in Church history, the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. The reformers wrote quite clearly that they did not set out to divide the Church, but to reform and restore the Church to its biblical mission of preaching the pure Gospel. Yet their message of sola fide, sola gratia, sola scriptura, and direct access to God was not well-received by the vested powers that be and so they were maligned, persecuted, excommunicated, and even martyred. While division was not desired, truth necessarily divides. That's just the way it is in a fallen world. Whereas Christians can disagree on a hundred different things and fine points of doctrine, they must never disagree in regards to the Gospel for it is the very message of salvation. Christ died for us while we were yet sinners. His blood covers our sins entirely. The work and the glory are God's alone and as the history of mankind has clearly shown, there is simply no standard that people can keep, thus salvation is appropriated as an irrevocable gift of love only on the basis of faith. Just as one solitary act brought death to all mankind--Adam eating the forbidden fruit--so one single death, the death of Christ, in conjunction with His subsequent resurrection, brings atonement, salvation, and life to all who believe.

Faith, Doubt, and Other Lines I've Crossed
Author: Jay Bakker
Publisher: Jericho Books
ISBN: 1455517623
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
Innovative pastor Jay Bakker thought he knew God: the God who rigorously patrolled every aspect of his life, the God who chose sides, the God who was always disappointed in him. But through the transformative power of grace, he discovered the God who loved and accepted unconditionally, freeing him to ask the hard questions and delve into one of Christianity's greatest taboos: doubt. In Faith, Doubt, and Other Lines I've Crossed, Jay voices the questions that Christians are thinking but won't ask as he chronicles his doubt about God, the Bible, heaven and hell, church, society, relationships, grace, and love. In the process he encourages all of us to welcome "the other", to read the Bible differently but better, to draw together in community, and to seek an unknown God of limitless grace. Brutally honest but full of grace, Jay invites everyone to cross the line, to dig deeper, and to discover a faith that is beyond belief.
