Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ is the inspiration. He is Everything. The Lord is seen when there is nothing blocking Him from view. On the journey home, there are many statues that call for being torn down so not to cast a shadow on The Lover. All the Mortal Idols abandoned refers to investing not into what is temporary; idols that try to hold on from a former life of misery or take the form of a tempter at the side of the road ahead. Consider all that Christ is. Christ is the only true light and how great it feels when Light passes through. A dig into various topics and scriptures addressing such categories as invitations for someone who is teetering between fear and new faith, being prepared while we wait for the final Day, what goes into an amazing faith, mindsets opposite that of worldly mindset, and a look at believers as a body. Also, personal testimony of The Lord's ever present help, life changes to better live for Him, and poetry pieces filled with praise to His Magnificance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intimacy is a lovely and necessary closeness that is often connected with special relationships between humans. The closeness and commitment set the relationship apart as particularly valuable above others. The best example is intimacy with the Lord. Intimacy with Him is just as obtainable absent the physical as intimacy with another human is with the presence of physical contact. Intimate Lessons in Holy Whispers is a collection of unique insights and perspectives that have been given by that "gentle whisper" from the Lord in private meditations and personal time with Him. Sprinkled with a series of poetry of constant yearnings for closeness, as well as discussions on biblical topics, each of the four chapters offer encouragement and inspiration for closeness with God and then with others. These chapters each have their own focuses""beneficial daily living, hope in challenging situations from someone who has made it through different challenging situations, and real testimonies of the Lord's involvement in my life. For the remaining chapter, a special focus of wisdom is given to developing a healthy preparation for marriage to the one who is seeking a spouse. May these messages from the Lord speak to those who could use gentle invitations to greater closeness in their relationship with God. May those who are desiring marriage, whether currently in a relationship or still single, consider the precious insights that are meant to help create that God-made fairy tale. And finally, may these be reminders and encouragement that striving for closeness in the Spirit is always beautiful to the Lord.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two names stand above all others in the history of the early Christian church: Augustine and Athanasius. The former was from the West and contended for the doctrine of grace against Roman moralism, while the latter came from the East and became a champion of orthodoxy against Arian attacks on the doctrine of the Trinity. On the Incarnation was Athanasius’ second apologetic work, and in it he defends the Christian faith and tries to convince Jews and Greeks that Jesus was not a prophet or teacher but the Christ, the divine incarnation of God’s Word. You may find yourself reading Athanasius and thinking that the divine incarnation of Jesus is an obvious point, only to realize that, at some point, it wasn’t so obvious. Three hundred years after Jesus ascended to heaven, the Council of Nicaea was still trying to figure out exactly who Jesus was. Through his presence at the Council of Nicaea as an assistant to Alexander and his work in this writing, Athanasius helped early Christianity—indeed all Christianity—to understand something more of the mystery of our faith: God was manifested in the flesh. All Christians, directly or indirectly, have been influenced by Athanasius because of his foundational insistence of who Jesus is. There is perhaps no other Christian writing in which the coming of our Savior is proclaimed so clearly as the way of victory over death. Thanks to Athanasius, and so many other early Christian thinkers, we have a firmer footing in our own exploration and understanding of who God is and how He works.

This book was released on 2019-07-31 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hidden Criticism of the Angry Tyrant in Early Judaism and the Acts of the Apostles adds to the current literature of imperial-critical New Testament readings with an examination of Luke’s hidden criticism of imperial Rome in the Acts of the Apostles and in Paul’s speech on the Areopagus in Acts 17. Focusing on discursive resistance in the Hellenistic world, Drew J. Strait examines the relationship between hidden criticism and persuasion and between subordinates and the powerful, and he explores the challenge to the dissident voice to communicate criticism while under surveillance. Strait argues that Luke confronts the idolatrous power and iconic spectacle of gods and kings with the Gospel of the Lord of all—a worldview that is incompatible with the religions of Rome, including emperor worship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of poetic tradition is a figure of abandonment, a woman forsaken and out of control. She appears in writings ancient and modern, in the East and the West, in high art and popular culture produced by women and by men. What accounts for her perennial fascination? What is her function—in poems and for writers? Lawrence Lipking suggests many possibilities. In this figure he finds a partial record of women's experience, an instrument for the expression of religious love and yearning, a voice for psychological fears, and, finally, a model for the poet. Abandoned women inspire new ways of reading poems and poetic tradition.
