Mountain Preacher Stories
Author: Ben C. Fisher
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781469636627
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Over a period of forty years, Ben Fisher collected stories illustrating the humor of the Southern Highlander. English, Scotch, Welsh, and Irish immigrants to the Appalachian region of North Carolina brought with them a rugged individualism and a sense of humor and dignity which have been characteristic of the sturdy yeoman farmer. Most mountain preachers and many of the old time mountaineers had a real talent for telling stories. While the "tall tale" is a staple of mountain storytelling, more often the tales relate to something that happened, not something just dreamed up. Mountain humor, like all folk humor, typically arises out of a life situation. Fisher's work, edited by his wife Sally following his passing, relates many of the stories and tales that he had heard over the course of his life.

We're All Trumpets

Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1430314761
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 211
Book Description
Christians are so much more than religious zealots of words written on the pages of a book! We are in covenant with the Most High God; kingdom kids entitled to a rich and rewarding lifestyle. God's kingdom is at hand, but we need to appropriate it by faith each day. Part and parcel of kingdom living is recognition of our privilege to praise God Jehovah with our prayers, our daily speech patterns and our actions. Romans 10: 9-10 invites us to be transformed by the renewing of our mind. As our mind is renewed so will be our mouth. As our mouths are renewed so will be our relationships! Within the pages of this book we'll learn to replace the trumpets of Old Testament days, announcing the presence of God, the power of God, and God's purposes to a dying world. Once you've read this book and digested the body of evidence herein, you'll begin to see yourself as a trumpeter of God's Word! The atmosphere surrounding your relationships will change radically, as victory becomes your daily portion.

Impacting the Seven Mountains from the Courts of Heaven
Author: Robert Henderson
Publisher: Destiny Image Publishers
ISBN: 076846272X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 184
Book Description
Robert Henderson started to explore the question, "what would the seven mountains of culture look like in a reformed state?" There is much talk in the apostolic and prophetic community about reformation and transformation, but sometimes, we don't have a clear vision of what it would actually look like for these spheres of influence to be modeled, shaped, and impacted by believers who carry the Kingdom of God into their everyday places of assignment. As the bestselling teacher and leading authority on the Courts of Heaven, Robert Henderson explores each of the seven mountains of influence—religion, arts and entertainment, media, business, government, family, and education—and gives a powerful vision of what each one could look like if it were transformed and served by the Kingdom of God. However, in order to see principalities broken and ruling spiritual forces dismantled, we must do more than pray standard warfare prayers; we must enter the Courts of Heaven to contend for Kingdom influence and impact! In Impacting the Seven Mountains from the Courts of Heaven, you will... Receive a prophetic blueprint of each of the seven mountains in a reformed state. Enter the Courts of Heaven to pray for the sphere of influence you have been called to reach and impact. Identify the spiritual powers that are demonically influencing the different spheres of influence. Bring your case before the Courts of Heaven and watch as God brings supernatural reformation to the seven mountains!

Mountain Dialogues from Antiquity to Modernity
Author: Dawn Hollis
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350162841
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
Throughout the longue dureé of Western culture, how have people represented mountains as landscapes of the imagination and as places of real experience? In what ways has human understanding of mountains changed – or stayed the same? Mountain Dialogues from Antiquity to Modernity opens up a new conversation between ancient and modern engagements with mountains. It highlights the ongoing relevance of ancient understandings of mountain environments to the postclassical and present-day world, while also suggesting ways in which modern approaches to landscape can generate new questions about premodern responses. It brings together experts from across many different disciplines and periods, offering case studies on topics ranging from classical Greek drama to Renaissance art, and from early modern natural philosophy to nineteenth-century travel writing. Throughout, essays engage with key themes of temporality, knowledge, identity, and experience in the mountain landscape. As a whole, the volume suggests that modern responses to mountains participate in rhetorical and experiential patterns that stretch right back to the ancient Mediterranean. It also makes the case for collaborative, cross-period research as a route both for understanding human relations with the natural world in the past, and informing them in the present.

Horns and Trumpets of the World
Author: Jeremy Montagu
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0810888823
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
Humanity has blown horns and trumpets of various makes and models, lengths and diameters since prehistoric times. In Horns and Trumpets of the World, the eminent scholar Jeremy Montagu surveys the vast range in time and type of this instrument that has accompanied everything in human history from the war cry to the formal symphony, from the hunting call to the modern jazz performance. No work on this topic offers as much detail or so many illustrations—over 150, in fact—of this remarkable instrument. Montagu’s examination starts with horns constructed from such unusual materials as seaweed, cane, and bamboo, and continues the journey of exploration through those of shell, wood, ivory, and metal. The chronological scope of Horns and Trumpets of the World is equally vast: it looks at instruments of the Bible and from the Bronze and Iron Ages respectively before diving headlong into those from the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical periods, and, following the Industrial Revolution, those that have appeared in the modern era. Drawing on the many instruments from the author’s own extensive collection, Montagu offers details, including measurements, at levels rarely seen in other surveys of this world of instrumentation. Horns and Trumpet of the World should appeal to not only scholars and collectors, but professional brass players and manufacturers, as well as museums and institutions with a vested interest in our musical heritage.

Seven Trumpets and the Investigative Judgment, The
Author: David D. Burdick
Publisher: Aspect Books
ISBN: 1479605034
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 723
Book Description
Earthquakes rip through the world as the Creator approaches, the stars fall, the sun goes dark, and the moon proclaims death. Jesus comes and His powerful presence causes the atmosphere to split and roll away. Revelation 6 shows people wailing for the mountains to bury them: “Fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: for the great day of His wrath is come; and who will be able to stand?” And who does stand in that day? No one. Not a single soul. It's the total annihilation of a vile, self-righteous human race. God's followers expected all of this to happen on October 22, 1844. They watched and waited, but Jesus didn't return. This was only a warning preview of His return in the sixth seal. In God's mercy, He commands to delay the cataclysm of judgment day so that He can send to the world the needed preparation for the day of wrath. That needed preparation comes with the seven trumpets of the seventh seal that occur after 1844. The postponed destruction seen in the sixth seal will yet be a future reality. The Seven Trumpets and the Investigative Judgment examines chapters 4–11 in the book of Revelation and studies how recent events since 9/11 have almost completed God's gracious delay. This book presents a new view of Revelation that meets the biblical rules of prophetic interpretation and of the inspired “testimony of Jesus,” which is “the spirit of prophecy” (Rev. 19:10). How have we done in this waiting period? Will we stand when Jesus returns? By God's grace this book will help you prepare for that great day.
