Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book is to define and explain the archetypal pattern of redemption that underlies our whole notion of resolution in literature and to demonstrate, through multiple examples, that successful literature--poems and stories that have shown endurance or popularity--uses this pattern in specific ways. This theory should help readers to interpret both particular works of literature and the general notion of literature. The pattern of redemption employed here, in its ideal form, involves the sacrifice of an innocent redeemer to save something that has been lost. Because this pattern of redemption is typically associated with Christianity, this book can be taken as proposing a Christian theory of criticism. Current textbooks on literary criticism and theory cover a range of perspectives, such as Marxism, feminism, multiculturalism, reader response, and queer theory, but they invariably ignore the field of Christian criticism. Therefore, this book may be most useful as a supplementary text for courses in literary criticism that might include a Christian perspective. At the same time, however, the terms and methodology proposed here are not exclusive to or dependant on Christian beliefs, so readers of all types may find this approach useful. The greatest strength of this book is its application of the theory to numerous examples from a wide range of genres and periods of literature, testing the theory on classical and Shakespearean works such as the Iliad and Odyssey, Hamlet and Coriolanus; best sellers such as The Lord of the Rings, Le Petit Prince, Valley of the Dolls, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows; horror stories such as Frankenstein; postcolonial novels such as Things Fall Apart and The Kite Runner; and lyric poems. Consequently, even readers who are skeptical of the assumptions used here should find the many concrete examples thought-provoking.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What the devil intended for harm, God can use for good. Your bruises, wounds, and scars are not wasted. He has a plan for you. A plan to bless and prosper you. The only hang-up is you! What would you say if I told you that today could be the day of your redemption? Regardless what you have been through. Regardless what you have done. Regardless how far you have drifted, or how long you have been gone. Take heart! God still loves you. He isn't angry with you-he loves you! Would you like to know the best part? He wants you back! The Bible tells us that God misses you. He grieves over you. And he is willing to do whatever it takes to get you back. He simply waits for your reply. I Am Redeemed is a six-week study into the heart of God. Whether you use this book for individual or group study, I applaud you for simply reaching out by faith. Your redemption is within your grasp. God has already taken the first step. While we were still sinners, God sent his only son, Jesus, to be a sacrifice for your sins. In doing this, he showed all of creation the full extent of his love for us. It is your turn now. What will it be?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bible is daunting, confusing, and it’s so massive that there's not enough time to actually sit down and read it. These are statements that I’ve heard over and over working in ministry. In this book, I will show you that reading the Bible doesn’t have to be daunting or confusing. I’ll even show you that the Bible is extremely relevant today and just as much relevant now as it was when it was written to its original audience thousands of years ago. Over the course of this book, I will break down the Bible for you and show you how the books fit together chronologically. I’ll also explain to you some of the hidden truths that many people just skip right over while reading the Bible (things like the women who paid for Jesus’ bills). Trust me, stay on this ride and you will come out enthralled with God’s Word. The best thing about this book is whether you’ve read ten pages or one hundred pages you’ll be fascinated by the depth, wonder, and whimsy of the incredible book we call the Bible. If you stick with this, I promise you that the Bible will look very different to you. Not that I will be adding to or taking away from this God-breathed book, but that we will walk through the Bible in such a way that you’ll be able to grasp the flow of all the books. That's my goal. I wrote this with you in mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are interested in subverting the notion of "type" when it comes to biblical characters. We prefer, instead, to see the characters in Ruth as complex people, not merely built around a single primary trait, like loyalty, altruism, or generosity.People may exhibit conflicting traits and are often different people. There is no reason why the same should not be true of literary characters. Accordingly we have tried not to define the "selves" of this narrative too tightly, and if we have over determined them, we recognize that as a fault. In short, the characters of this story have far more diverse possibilities of life in the minds of readers than we can ever give them. --from the Introduction

Book excerpt: Robert Keynes has known more tragedy than any soul should have to bear. Years ago, a Mage—Robert’s ex-lover—cursed the alpha Lupine and his pack, resulting in the deaths of many, including Robert’s parents. Only a great sacrifice on his part stemmed the curse. But the magick that protects the pack is now waning, putting Robert’s people in peril once more. Aurora Seville is little more than a captive; a beautiful slave given to Robert so he might produce an heir. A gifted Mage, Aurora has little chance of gaining his trust—until he discovers she bears the mark of the dragon. Mating with her could be the key to breaking the curse over his pack forever. In exchange, Robert promises Aurora her freedom…unaware the very woman capable of saving his pack could also destroy the dark secret keeping them alive. Aurora has her own reasons to get close to the sexy Lupine. The secret Robert hides could free her beloved sister. So she’ll agree to become his mate—but at what cost to both their hearts?

Book excerpt: The Book of Ruth is not a random romantic story, but a significant look at the sovereignty of God and His plan of redemption for all people within the world. It also contains interesting character studies of the main people-Naomi, Ruth, and Boaz. ?The Mosaic Law and history of Israel give prophetic insight to make the history of the Bible relevant to our own time. Ruth provides a sort of "God's-eye view" into the history of Israel and the world. ?Keep a notebook handy to write down important things you learn as you read and study. The study questions are designed to walk you through the story to observe and interpret what you read in the text and apply the truth that is clarified through the study process. Put yourself in the story, and use your imagination to identify with the people involved.?A set of study questions follow each devotional. These questions are designed to help you think about what you're reading and studying within the text itself. These study questions follow the complete Bible text for each devotional at the end of each chapter.
