Foundational Faith
Author: John Koessler
Publisher: Moody Publishers
ISBN: 1575678888
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
At various times, some within the Protestant community have compromised core Christian principles to "fit the times". Challenging these truths, many members of the evangelical community have stood up for the key doctrines that, in their view, remain essential to the Christian faith. In Foundational Faith, John Koessler, a professor at Moody Bible Institute, joins several of his colleagues in introducing fundamental truths of the Christian faith to a generation increasingly unfamiliar with the original and true essence of Christianity.

God is Back
Author: John Micklethwait
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 9781594202131
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
On the street and in the corridors of power, religion is surging worldwide. From Russia to Turkey to India, nations that swore off faith in the last century--or even tried to stamp it out--are now run by avowedly religious leaders. This book examines this new world, from exorcisms in São Paulo to religious skirmishing in Nigeria, to televangelism in California and house churches in China. Since the Enlightenment, intellectuals have assumed that modernization would kill religion--and that religious America is an oddity. As these authors argue, religion and modernity can thrive together, and America is becoming the norm. The failure of communism and the rise of globalism helped spark the global revival, but, above all, 21st century religion is being fueled by a very American emphasis on competition and a customer-driven approach to salvation, and its destabilizing effects can already be seen far from Iraq or the World Trade Center.--From publisher description.

Anglican Catholicism: Unchanging Faith in a Changing World
Author: Fr Jonathan Munn OblOSB
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0244462127
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
It may surprise you to learn that there is such thing as an Anglican Catholic Church. We might not be very noticeable, especially in the United Kingdom, but the Anglican Catholic Church exists in every inhabited continent of the world and is growing. This is the propose of this essay in which we seek to establish the integrity of Anglican Catholic belief. We state our principles of how we discern what Christian Doctrine is, and then use these principles to demonstrate what we believe the Church to be. You will find the text punctuated not only with texts from the Bible but also from the Church Fathers whose teachings from Holy Scripture demonstrate how it is to be interpreted. These texts are to give an idea for why we believe what we do and, while not being completely exhaustive, aim to present you with the fact that what we believe has always had a basis in History. Whatever your conclusions, whether you agree with this or not, we hope that you will find this book informative and that it encourages you to further dialogue and fellowship with us. --

Raising World Changers in a Changing World
Author: Kristen Welch
Publisher: Baker Books
ISBN: 1493414097
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
Almost any parent you asked would tell you that they want their children to be happy, successful adults. But many of us forget (or never knew to begin with) that lasting personal joy is not necessarily found the way the world says it is--through reaching a certain socioeconomic status, having a certain job, buying a certain house, or having a certain amount in one's bank account. In fact, says Kristen Welch, popular blogger and author of Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World, personal satisfaction comes not from grabbing onto things but from holding them with an open hand and, very often, giving them away. In this inspiring book, Welch shows parents how to discover for themselves and instill in their kids the profound joy that comes from sharing what we have been given--our time, our talents, and even what's in our wallets--with those who have less. Through powerful personal stories as well as stories from Scripture, Welch offers a tantalizing alternative to status quo parenting that has the power to impact not only our own families but the entire world. At the end of each chapter, one of the author's kids offers their perspective on what it's like to be raised as a world changer.
