Book Description
Cost is an all church study that encourages Christ followers to count the cost for following. In Luke 14:25-33 Jesus turns to the large crowds who were following him and encouraged them to count the cost for following. Discipleship, Jesus teaches, is just like building a tower or going to war; one must consider the price before committing to the task. Perhaps no other disciple understood this better than the apostle and gospel writer, Matthew. In the book that bears his name, this former tax collector talks of treasure, money, value, riches, and giving more than any other gospel writer. And thereby, he gives us a guide for counting the cost. In this five-week study, “Cost” will help you discover the price for following Christ. Each week will guide us as we ... Consider the obstacle money and riches can be when it comes to following Jesus Study Jesus’ teaching about what we treasure and how that reveals our hearts Talk about the value we place on the kingdom and following Jesus Think about our stewardship and how we invest for the master’s kingdom View our resources as our best opportunity to worship our Lord In the end, we will be challenged as a congregation to put our money where our mouth is when it comes to being a fearless church of Christ followers. Are you ready to consider the cost? Mike Baker is in his 13th year as the Sr. Pastor of Eastview Christian Church in Bloomington/Normal Illinois. Coming as the youth pastor in 1995, he often says, he and the church have grown up together. He loves his wife of 33 years, Sara, and his grown sons and daughters-in-law. His tattoo artist son Mikey is married to Monica and they have blessed him with four grandkids: Ian, Ella, Eli, and the miracle Israel. His youth pastor/preacher son Caleb is married to Jessica and they have blessed him with a granddaughter named Sophia. Mike loves preaching, running, writing, laughing, and travel. Jason Sniff currently serves as pastor of small groups at Eastview Christian Church. He is husband to an amazing wife of 18 years, and the father of 6 very crazy but equally awesome kids. Jason lives on the edge of Normal. Jason loves being a part of what God is doing in the church.

The Ocean of the Soul
Author: Ritter
Publisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004245073
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 859
Book Description
The Ocean of the Soul is one of the great works of the German Orientalist Hellmut Ritter (1892-1971). It presents a comprehensive analysis of the writings of the mystical Persian poet Farīd al-Dīn ‘Aṭṭār who is thought to have died at an advanced age in April 1221 when the Mongols destroyed his home city of Nīshāpūr in the north-east of Iran. The book, which resulted from decades of investigation of literary and historical sources, was first published in 1955 and has since remained unsurpassed not only as the definitive study of ‘Aṭṭār's world of ideas but as an indispensable guide to understanding pre-modern Islamic literature in general. Quoting at length from ‘Aṭṭār and other Islamic sources, Ritter sketches an extraordinarily vivid portrait of the Islamic attitude toward life, characteristic developments in pious and ascetic circles, and, in conclusion, various dominant mystical currents of thought and feeling. Special attention is given to a wide range of views on love, love in all its manifestations, including homosexuality and the commonplace sūfī adoration of good-looking youths. Ritter's approach is throughout based onprecise philological interpretation of primary sources, several of which he has himself made available in critical editions.

Thorn
Author: Anna Burke
Publisher: Bywater Books
ISBN: 1612941443
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
On a cold day deep in the heart of winter, Rowan’s father returns from an ill-fated hunting trip bearing a single, white rose. The rose is followed by the Huntress, a figure out of legend. Tall, cruel, and achingly beautiful, she brings Rowan back with her to a mountain fastness populated solely by the creatures of the hunt. Rowan, who once scorned the villagers for their superstitions, now finds herself at the heart of a curse with roots as deep as the mountains, ruled by an old magic that is as insidious as the touch of the winter rose. Torn between her family loyalties, her guilty relief at escaping her betrothal to the charming but arrogant Avery Lockland, and her complicated feelings for the Huntress, Rowan must find a way to break the curse before it destroys everything she loves. There is only one problem—if she can find a way to lift the curse, she will have to return to the life she left behind. And the only thing more unbearable than endless winter is facing a lifetime of springs without the Huntress. Thorn was named to the American Library Association's 2020 Over the Rainbow Fiction Longlist.
