Power in the Blood?
Author: JoAnne Marie Terrell
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1597523534
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Can the gospel message of the Atonement have a liberative message for black Christians? Is there, indeed, "power in the blood of Jesus"? This study of the meaning of the cross in the African American religious experience is both comprehensive and powerful: comprehensive because it explores the meaning of the cross -- symbol of suffering and sacrifice -- from the early beginnings of Christianity through modern times, and powerful because it is written by a black woman who has experienced abuse and the oppression of field-work.

The Blood of the Cross
Author: Andrew Murray
Publisher: Martino Fine Books
ISBN: 9781614272311
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
The late Rev. Andrew Murray tells us that it was on a journey to Europe that his mind was directed definitely to the consideration of the "power of the blood of Jesus." That phrase gripped him and seemed to keep demanding from him, "What does the power of the blood really mean?" He says, "My consideration of this question, and my meditation upon the Scriptures to find an answer to it was made a great blessing to me." On his return to South Africa, he took up this subject for consideration during Passion week in his congregation in Wellington. Fifteen addresses were delivered on that occasion, then five at a later date. The substance of the first ten of these discourses has already been published in a companion volume, The Power of the Blood of Jesus; the remaining ten are now sent forth under this title, The Blood of the Cross. - Preface.

Blood Donor Counselling
Author: World Health Organization
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789241548557
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 114
Book Description
Individuals who donate their blood provide a unique and precious gift in an act of human solidarity. In order to donate blood, prospective donors should be in good health and free from any infections that can be transmitted through transfusion. Most blood donors perceive themselves to be healthy, but some are unsuitable to donate blood due to the potential risk of compromising or worsening their own health or the risk of transmission of infections to patients. Blood transfusion services (BTS) have a duty of care towards blood donors as well as to the recipients of transfusion. This duty of care extends to prospective donors who are deferred from donation--whether on a temporary or permanent basis--as well as those who donate blood and are subsequently found to have unusual or abnormal test results. BTS have a responsibility to confirm test results and provide information, counseling and support to enable these individuals to understand and respond to unexpected information about their health or risk status. Counseling is part of the spectrum of care that a BTS should be able to provide to blood donors--including referral to medical practitioners or specialist clinical services. Pre-donation counseling was recognized as one element of the strategy to reduce and, if possible, prevent the donation of blood by individuals who might be at risk for HIV and other TTI including hepatitis B and C viruses as well as to inform the donor of the donation process and testing of blood for HIV. Post-donation counseling was acknowledged to be a necessary element of donor management as an adjunct to informing donors of unusual or abnormal test results. Blood donor counseling by trained specialist staff is now considered to be a key component of the blood system in most countries with a well-developed blood transfusion service. It may be required at a number of stages in the blood donation process or following blood screening and should be available at any point at which the BTS has an interface with donors. In many countries, however, blood donor counseling is not yet available in a structured way. Blood Donor Counselling: Implementation Guidelines has therefore been developed to provide guidance to blood transfusion services that have not yet established donor counseling programs.
