Book Description
What if the Bible actually keeps us from hearing the Word of God? For many Christians, the Bible is the only way to know anything about God. But according to that same Bible, everyone can know God directly through an actual relationship with Jesus. Jesus Unbound is an urgent call for the followers of Jesus to know Him intimately because the Gospel is not mere information about God, but a transformational experience with a Christ who is closer to us than our own heartbeat.

Barth’s Theological Ontology of Holy Scripture
Author: Alfred H. Yuen
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1630873292
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
"I was and I am an ordinary theologian, who does not have the Word of God at his disposal, but, at best, a 'Doctrine of the Word of God,'" writes Karl Barth in the preface of Die christliche Dogmatik im Emtwurf. Properly appreciating the complex career of Barth's characterization of what Scripture is theologically can open up constructive lines of inquiry regarding his self-description as a theologian and reader of the Bible. By mining Barth's published and posthumous theological and exegetical writings and sermons, both well-known materials and understudied writings such as the significant "Das Schriftprinzip der reformierten Kirche" lecture, Alfred H. Yuen offers a unique reading of Barth's thoughts on the person and work of the biblical writers by mapping his theological career as a university student, a pastor, a writer, a young professor, and, above all, a "child of God" (CD I/1, 464-65).

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
What does your heart crave? Love? Intimacy? Worth? Peace? Trust? Control? The greatest human desire is to be loved. Its cavernous appetite demands satisfaction. And its quest often takes us from one relationship to another. The results have a predictable ending and we can feel betrayed by what we thought would fill our heart's void. Whether we made past sexual choices we regret or were a victim against our will, our sexual past can leave scars on our hearts. As a result, we build walls and make vows to self-protect. We lose trust in others, lose faith in God, and lose our sense of identity-hiding our true selves behind masks of our own making. "This isn't how I thought my life would go." "This isn't how I thought my story would turn out."We can't simply delete the painful chapters of our life. But what if we can truly be at peace with God and with our past? What if the Hero of our story can free us from the ghosts of the past, and instead craft a redemptive story through the pages of our life?UNBOUND is a Biblical study of hope as it will help you find freedom from the lies and ties of the past, reclaim your true identity, and unleash your God-given potential. Through the pages of UNBOUND, you are about to meet a Freedom Fighter. Stefanie doesn't fight with the weapons of this world. She isn't involved in overthrowing governments or mob mentality. Instead, she fights courageously for women who find themselves broken and spiritually stuck because of their sexual pasts. Healed from her own painful past, Stefanie Libertore surrenders her own story to offer hope that others can be free. Her passion is to encourage the Bride of Christ to rise up, embrace their healing in Christ and unleash their potential, becoming Freedom Fighters for others."

God Unbound
Author: Elaine Heath
Publisher: Upper Room Books
ISBN: 0835815854
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 89
Book Description
What does it mean to move beyond the boundaries of what we believe? The apostle Paul led the Galatians through a massive cultural shift in which they had to radically expand their ideas of who God is, who they were, and God's mission for the church. He was able to lead them through this time of great change because of his encounter with the risen Christ on the Damascus road, an experience in which his view of God was completely upended. Today Christianity is undergoing a cultural shift just as challenging as the situation confronting Paul and the Galatians. As many churches decline, congregations and pastors feel uncertain and anxious about how to continue their mission of making disciples of Jesus Christ. Elaine Heath extends an invitation to broaden our view of God by moving beyond the walls of buildings and programs to become a more diverse church than we have ever imagined. While deeply honoring tradition, she calls the church to boldly follow the Holy Spirit's leadership into the future. Ideal for a 6- to 9-week small-group study.
