Go Tell It on the Mountain
Author: James Baldwin
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0375701877
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
In one of the greatest American classics, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity. Baldwin's rendering of his protagonist's spiritual, sexual, and moral struggle of self-invention opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understand themselves. With lyrical precision, psychological directness, resonating symbolic power, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate, Baldwin tells the story of the stepson of the minister of a storefront Pentecostal church in Harlem one Saturday in March of 1935. Originally published in 1953, Baldwin said of his first novel, "Mountain is the book I had to write if I was ever going to write anything else." “With vivid imagery, with lavish attention to details ... [a] feverish story.” —The New York Times

The Threshing-Floor of Faith
Author: B. H. Porter
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781534609181
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 436
Book Description
There is a movement today affecting the Latter-day Saint youth and seasoned adults causing many to fall away from the faith of their fathers. The "Threshing Floor of Faith" takes a look into the causes of this spiritual calamity that has or will affect almost every family in the Church. Often parents cannot understand why active children are choosing to leave their faith with a distrust for the Church and priesthood leaders. Many adults are also falling away disgruntled with the Church organization that was restored by revelation and the Prophet Joseph Smith. There are questions being presented and asked that seem to be unanswerable, yet, there are answers found in scripture. Part I of this book will take a look at the purpose of the Church organization and the responsibilities of the priesthood and its leaders and where the foundation of testimony should lay. "The Threshing Floor of Faith" will use the scriptures to present information and doctrine that could be used for a lasting and enduring testimony, not only in Christ but also the organization that is to administer His Gospel. Part II will address some of the questions that are causing many to turn from the faith they once embraced, using the scriptures to answer the questions. "The Threshing Floor of Faith" will address questions and present scriptural answers to topics such as: * Science and Religion; creation and scripture, * Translations of the Book of Abraham and the Book of Mormon,* Past restrictions of the Priesthood,* Polygamy,* Women and the Priesthood, * Same sex attraction, * And others.The scriptures are the best commentary on the scriptures rather than opinions, traditions and interpretations; and this book will use that standard of scripture as the foundation from which to build faith and testimony. No one reached the Tree of Life in the dream of Lehi except by the 'Iron Rod,' nevertheless; many fell away even after having partaken of the fruit. The center and foundation of all faith must be in Jesus Christ and the Atonement. "The Threshing Floor of Faith" is written for the faithful and those questioning their faith, presenting a view that connects the questions causing doubt, the organization of the Church and its Priesthood Leaders to the Atonement and Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Threshing Floor D.I.Y Style: a New Approach for a New Generation; from Harvest to Seed
Author: DR WALTER MASOCHA
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1466997222
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 231
Book Description
The Bible suggests that unbelievers are a crop ready for harvest. When harvested, they are taken to the threshing floor, where husks and chaff are removed to reveal the precious seed (Matt. 3:11-12; 9:35-38). This book develops the concept of Threshing floor by simple reference to a typical sub-urban town-house or mansion with nine floors, each of them being a Threshing Floor. For various reasons, many Christians are uncomfortable to approach someone else for counselling. Fatally wounded by fellow Christians, whether leaders or not, they quietly withdraw from the Church. Alternatively, they stay put, but deeply wounded and hurt, they limp along and remain in the Church. They become religious. This book offers a new, innovative, D.I.Y approach to Christian Counselling, whereby one approaches others only in the event of failure of the D.I.Y. process. Touching on various character and behavioural attributes, the Bible is explored to clinically analyse scriptures, offering chances for the wounded and those who wound others to get self-threshed by the Word of God on different theoretical floors in the House God (Psalm 23:6). When fully threshed, they serve in Gods house with a sweet spirit, agape love, peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
