Book excerpt: A chilling mystery based on true events, from New York Times bestselling author Katherine Howe. It’s senior year, and St. Joan’s Academy is a pressure cooker. Grades, college applications, boys’ texts: Through it all, Colleen Rowley and her friends keep it together. Until the school’s queen bee suddenly falls into uncontrollable tics in the middle of class. The mystery illness spreads to the school's popular clique, then more students and symptoms follow: seizures, hair loss, violent coughing fits. St. Joan’s buzzes with rumor; rumor erupts into full-blown panic. Everyone scrambles to find something, or someone, to blame. Pollution? Stress? Are the girls faking? Only Colleen—who’s been reading The Crucible for extra credit—comes to realize what nobody else has: Danvers was once Salem Village, where another group of girls suffered from a similarly bizarre epidemic three centuries ago . . . Inspired by true events—from seventeenth-century colonial life to the halls of a modern-day high school—Conversion casts a spell. "[Howe] has a gift for capturing the teenage mindset that nears the level of John Green."—USA Today "...this creepy, gripping novel is intimately real and layered, shedding light on the challenges teenage girls have faced throughout history."—The New York Times "A chilling guessing game . . . that will leave readers thinking about the power (and powerlessness) of young women in the past and present alike."—Publishers Weekly, Starred Review

Download or read book Transforming Conversion written by Gordon T. Smith and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2010-08-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers much-needed theological reflection on the phenomenon of conversion and transformation. Gordon Smith provides a robust evaluation that covers the broad range of thinking about conversion across Christian traditions and addresses global contexts. Smith contends that both in the church and in discussions about contemporary mission, the language of conversion inherited from revivalism is inadequate in helping to navigate the questions that shape how we do church, how we approach faith formation, how evangelism is integrated into congregational life, and how we witness to the faith in non-Christian environments. We must rethink the nature of the church in light of how people actually come to faith in Christ. After drawing on ancient and pre-revivalist wisdom on conversion, Smith delineates the contours of conversion and Christian initiation for today's church. He concludes by discussing the art of spiritual autobiography and what it means to be a congregation.

Download or read book The Conversion Book written by Sean C. McVeigh and published by McVeigh Ministries Incorporated. This book was released on 2014 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pope John XXIII said that "Christian doctrine should be guarded and taught more efficaciously." He also said we need to "Discover ways of teaching the faith more effectively." Largely in response to these types of directives from our Catholic Church leaders, Catholic author and guest speaker, Sean McVeigh, has written The Conversion Book: How to Effectively Help Protestants Convert to Catholicism. It provides a unique, modern, and powerful approach to Catholic evangelization. The Conversion Book is intended for adult and young adult Catholics of all levels of religious and evangelization experience. Whether the reader is a seasoned evangelist or someone who has never talked to another person about God before, The Conversion Book is specifically designed to help that person improve his or her ability to effectively share his or her belief in Jesus Christ and the teachings of Jesus' Holy Catholic Church. As each reader discovers very early in this publication, the process of training for effective evangelization begins with an intense focus on one's own prayer life and spiritual discernment. After the individual is spiritually prepared, Sean takes each reader through a very specific and systematic approach to evangelization that is sure to surprise many of the evangelizer's listeners. Ultimately, through using this approach, there will be many Protestants who will realize their need to leave some of their current theological ways of thinking behind in order to more fully embrace the truth that Jesus wants them to know and follow. The author believes there will be a massive exodus of people leaving the Protestant belief system in order to become Catholic once they have had the truth presented to them in an extremely effective and mature way. However, this exodus will only happen if Catholics at large intensify their evangelization efforts while implementing the most effective methods possible in helping Protestants convert. Lastly, this publication is a great resource for Protestants who are interested in learning more about the core differences between the Catholic and Protestant faiths.
