The Homebrewed Christianity Guide to Jesus
Author: Tripp Fuller
Publisher: Fortress Press
ISBN: 1506401252
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Christology is crazy. Its rather absurd to identify a first-century homeless Jew as God revealed, but a bunch of us do anyway. In this book, Tripp Fuller examines the historical Jesus, the development of the doctrine of Christ, the questions that drove christological innovations through church history, contemporary constructive proposals, and the predicament of belief for the church today. Recognizing that the battle over Jesus is no longer a public debate between the skeptic and believer but an internal struggle in the heart of many disciples, he argues that we continue to make christological claims about more than an event or simply the Jesus of history. On the other hand, C. S. Lewiss infamous liar, lunatic, and Lord scheme is no longer intellectually tenable. This may be a guide to Jesus, but for Christians, Fuller is guiding us toward a deeper understanding of God. He thinks its good newsgood news about a God who is so invested in the world that God refuses to be God without us.

Why Praise
Author: Alvin J. Summers
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 160647328X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
Are you tired of living a defeated Christian life? Are you sick of trying to overcome the same things as if they are stronger than your God? Well, I have good news. You don't have to be what you are, Christ died to make us free from the law of sin and death. So many believers live beneath their privilege simply because they have not come into the full knowledge of what Christ did at Calvary. They go to church week in and week out hoping for some hocus pocus action from the pulpit or during the praise service that will catapult them from one dimension to another. More often times than not they leave inspired, but not motivated to attack their lives with Godly fervor. We are told to live holy but how. "Why Praise" is an attempt at that process. We are free! Alvin J. Summers is the proud Pastor of Oak Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Martin, TN where he has served for eleven years. A man after God's own heart, he encourages all to "love God in honesty and integrity." Alvin has a B.M.E. from Henderson State University and a M.Div. from Memphis Theological Seminary. Alvin's quiet humility gives way when he is given the opportunity to share the Gospel. "I am unashamedly Christian," he declares. "Gods been good to me and I am not ashamed to tell the story" is his personal testimony. He and his wife Colleen have been married for 18 years and have two children. But most of all, he has taken upon himself the responsibility of studying to show himself approved unto God a workman that needs not to be ashamed, but one that tries to rightly divide the word of truth. (2 Timothy 2:15)

AIM to Be Like JESUS
Author: Mary Ruth Whitley
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1644160064
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 157
Book Description
The Bible is God's description of His creation from the beginning of time to the end of time. Amid all the pages, of wonder and mystery, are people like you and me. AIM to Be Like Jesus describes the thread God has woven around human lives""a thread by which He calls out to mankind. His words are simply, "Here I am! I stand by the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20). While writing the book The BE Attitudes for Christians, I very clearly observed the many characters, whose lives God has given us as examples. It was these characters who inspired me to write my next book, AIM to Be Like Jesus. There were many characters I could have chosen, but I chose people who, in my opinion, portrayed a unique quality. These Bible characters have human attitudes that they purposely chose to use for God. This book begins with Abel, who was considered righteous because of his pleasing sacrifice to God. It ends with Jesus, who was righteous, perfect, and was used as the final sinless sacrifice for mankind. The acronym "AIM" is to help the reader focus on: the attitude to be developed, instruction about the characters, and meditation on Scripture about the characters. When characters in the Bible come alive, I often wonder, "Could I be like that?"
