Rising from the Ruins
Author: Garth Jackson Gillan
Publisher: State University of New York Press
ISBN: 1438404085
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Rising from the Ruins is an assessment of reason, being, and the good in a world fractured by the passage of the Shoah, or Holocaust. The historical character of evil that appeared in the Shoah damaged the relationship of human existence to being, creating a time when the confidence of reason to possess the truth no longer exists. Rising from the Ruins relocates the relationships among being, reason, and the good in terms of a metaphysics, ethics, and politics that derive from faith and heteronomy. Rather than another attempt to document the horror of the Shoah, this book chronicles what the world is like for those who have read and listened to previous accounts. Rising from the Ruins doesn't celebrate surviving the Holocaust; instead, it speaks of a rationality that sees truth and the good through the eyes of suffering and the silence of death. Such a rationality, Gillan suggests, looks more like faith, and it takes its place among the sweat and tears of common men and women who are dedicated to building a human city, populated with children, the poor, the sick, and the aged.

Book Description
Kingdom Rising comprises teachings that came about through Todd's popular Kingdom School lessons and CD's and also more recent rhema words, visions, and encounters he has since had concerning the advancement of the kingdom of God and the reality of on earth as it is in heaven now. Scripture teaches us that Christ's kingdom is within us and all around us. When Jesus showed His disciples how to pray, He spoke directly to His Father, Your kingdom come.

It compels God's children to present the kingdom of God in power everywhere. This is the appointed time the set time to take the kingdom of God into the streets and invite the poor, the sick, the blind, and the captive, to come to Jesus' banqueting table. Kingdom Invasion equips believers for this glorious task.
