The Ascension of Christ
Author: Patrick Schreiner
Publisher: Lexham Press
ISBN: 1683593987
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 90
Book Description
It's essential to the Gospel, but we rarely talk about it. The good news of Jesus includes his life, death, resurrection, and future return--but what about his ascension? Though often neglected or misunderstood, the ascension is integral to the gospel. In The Ascension of Christ, Patrick Schreiner argues that Jesus' work would be incomplete without his ascent to God's right hand. Not only a key moment in the Gospel story, Jesus' ascension was necessary for his present ministry in and through the church. Schreiner argues that Jesus' residence in heaven marks a turning point in his three-fold offices of prophet, priest, and king. As prophet, Jesus builds the church and its witness. As priest, he intercedes before the Father. As king, he rules over all. A full appreciation of the ascension is essential for understanding the Bible, Christian doctrine, and Christ's ongoing work in the world.

Languages : en
Pages : 303
Book Description
Children's books are almost always picture books. When there is any uncertainty or confusion regarding the story line, children can look at the pictures for clarification. The pictures not only help to hold their interest, but they can also simplify what might otherwise be a complex and complicated narrative. God is continually engaged in the lifelong process of teaching His children. Knowing how helpful and useful picture illustrations are in the learning process, He has provided us with hundreds of them. These pictures have been graciously provided not only to hold our interest as His Word is being taught but, more importantly, to also simplify what might otherwise be a complex and complicated passage of Scripture. In the first section of the book, we look at pictures developed by God from the material realm. Many of the elements of creation were intended by God, not only to make physical life possible and sustainable but also to speak to us about spiritual reality. What is visible to us in the material realm explains the invisible. We discover in this section how light, darkness, water, thirst, sowing, reaping, and fire are picture illustrations designed to help us know our creator and better understand His purpose for our lives. In the second section of the book, we look at various New Testament doctrines and then turn to the people and events of the Old Testament for picture illustrations that clarify the teaching. It has been said that for every New Testament principle, there is an Old Testament illustration. We will see why this may very well be true. In the third section of the book, we look at what the New Testament teaches about the person of Jesus Christ and about God's plan of salvation for the world. Each picture illustration taken from the people and events of the Old Testament is a priceless masterpiece.

Pages : 448
Book Description
From the legendary New York Times bestselling author of Flowers in the Attic and My Sweet Audrina (now Lifetime movies) comes the first book in the Casteel Family series—for fans of Emma Donoghue (Room) and Kay Hooper (Amanda). Of all the folks on the mountain, the Casteel children are the lowest. Even the families that buy them think so. Heaven Leigh Casteel may be the prettiest, smartest girl in the backwoods, but her cruel father and weary stepmother work her like a mule. For the sake of her brother Tom and the other little ones, Heaven clings to the hope that someday she can show the world that they are worthy of love and respect. But when the children’s stepmother can’t take it anymore and abandons the family, Heaven’s father hatches a scheme that will alter her young life forever. Being sold to a strange couple is just the beginning; ripping away the thin veneer of civilization and learning the adult secrets of the world around her means Heaven must abandon someone, too—the child she was, to become the woman her mother never had the chance to be.

Book Description
Following on the heels of The Wings of Morning, the first book in Murray Pura’s Snapshots in History series, comes this compelling saga of the Civil War. In April 1861, Lyndel Keim discovers two runaway slaves in her family’s barn. When the men are captured and returned to their plantation, Lyndel and her young Amish beau, Nathaniel King, find themselves at odds with their pacifist Amish colony Nathaniel enlists in what will become the famous Iron Brigade of the Union Army.

Despite the pair’s heroic sacrifices, the Amish only see that Lyndel and Nathaniel have become part of the war effort, and both are banished. And a severe battle wound at Gettysburg threatens Nathaniel’s life. Lyndel must call upon her faith in God to endure the savage conflict and to face its painful aftermath, not knowing if Nathaniel is alive or dead. Will the momentous battle change her life forever, just as it will change the course of the war and the history of her country? The Face of Heaven is a dramatic story that will release on the 150th anniversary of the historic battle of Antietam, September, 1862.
