Book Description
The Words We Live By takes an entertaining and informative look at America's most important historical document, now with discussions on new rulings on hot button issues such as immigration, gay marriage, gun control, and affirmative action. In The Words We Live By, Linda Monk probes the idea that the Constitution may seem to offer cut-and-dried answers to questions regarding personal rights, but the interpretations of this hallowed document are nearly infinite. For example, in the debate over gun control, does "the right of the people to bear arms" as stated in the Second Amendment pertain to individual citizens or regulated militias? What do scholars say? Should the Internet be regulated and censored, or does this impinge on the freedom of speech as defined in the First Amendment? These and other issues vary depending on the interpretation of the Constitution. Through entertaining and informative annotations, The Words We Live By offers a new way of looking at the Constitution. Its pages reflect a critical, respectful and appreciative look at one of history's greatest documents. The Words We Live By is filled with a rich and engaging historical perspective along with enough surprises and fascinating facts and illustrations to prove that your Constitution is a living -- and entertaining -- document. Updated now for the first time, The Words We Live By continues to take an entertaining and informative look at America's most important historical document, now with discussions on new rulings on hot button issues such as immigration, gay marriage, and affirmative action.

Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
On the darkest day in history a beaten, discredited, rabbi called Jesus showed us what love was all about and as He died the death of a common criminal claimed ultimate victory over sin, death, and hell. In seven statements, most of them not addressed to anyone on earth, He teaches us how to live with peace, joy, and satisfaction. Hear Him speak anew about: Real forgiveness, "Father, forgive..." Hope that transcends even death, "Today you will be with me..." Serving with real grace, "Woman, Behold your son..." Full comfort for every crisis, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken..." A real, living Savior, "I thirst" Trust that never fails, "Father, into thy hands..." Victory that is unbelievable but true, "It is finished" In Seven Words of Love, Pastor Ernie Shipe takes you up Golgotha's hill so that you can see, hear, even smell the crackling emotion of the hate of the temple leaders, the passion of the crowd, the fear and heartbreak of the five pathetic figures standing near the foot of the center cross, the bitter indifference of the soldiers, and the excruciating agony of the three dying men.

Seven Words for the End of Your Journey
Author: Christian C. Spoor
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1512776440
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
The greatest challenge we ever face is how to deal with the end of life. It has been said that most people fear the process of dying more than death itself. Seven Words for the End of Your Journey helps us negotiate this unknown territory. It is a new way of looking at Jesuss seven words of the cross. Through these seven words, we discover how Jesus personally experienced all the challenges people face at the end of life. Many devotional and theological books have been written about the seven words. But few of them have unpacked how these words speak directly to people who are now face-to-face with the end of life. Just as Jesus teaches people how to live well in his Sermon on the Mount, so he teaches how to die well in his seven words from the cross. Out of his own dying experience, Jesus shows the way for others to traverse this difficult terrain and come through victorious. This book is a sensitive, practical guide for patients, their families, and their caregivers.
