Immersive illustrations and poetic wordplay throughout will keep your child returning to the pages of this book. God With Us presents your children with: One Panoramic Theme: Your children will see in panoramic display one grand theme at the heart of Scripture’s story, from Genesis to Revelation: the presence of God. Jesus Christ: Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is presented to your children as the fulfillment of everything they were made to be. Realism About Life: This is an honest storybook about a fallen world, full of excitement and joy as well as sadness and fear. Luxurious Visuals: The full-color illustrations are intentionally arranged to move between large sweeping landscapes and small arresting moments, evoking in children a sense of awe at the grand scale of life, even in the daily moments. An Experience for the Eyes, Ears, and Heart: Art―in visual, audible, and verbal form―makes beautiful the things that God calls beautiful. This book will capture your children’s imagination. This dramatized, Read-Aloud Edition brings each chapter to life with narration, music, sound effects, and visual cues for children to enjoy.

It is a tale told with rare candor, immersing the reader in a journey that is at once engaging, humorous, and heartwarming. Praise for The Journey Home “Here is an inspiring chapter of “our story” of spiritual pilgrimage to the East. It shows the inner journey of awakening in a fascinating and spellbinding way.” —Ram Dass, author, Be Here Now “He tells his story with remarkable honest—the temptations of the 1970s, his doubts, hopes, and disappointments, the culture shock, and the friendships found and lost . . . Add a zest of danger, suspense, and surprise, and Radhanath Swami’s story is a deep, genuine memoir that reads like a novel.” —Brigitte Sion, assistant professor of Religious Studies, New York University

Download or read book Roots and Sky written by Christie Purifoy and published by Revell. This book was released on 2016-02-02 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Christie Purifoy arrived at Maplehurst that September, she was heavily pregnant with both her fourth child and her dreams of creating a sanctuary that would be a fixed point in her busily spinning world. The sprawling Victorian farmhouse sitting atop a Pennsylvania hill held within its walls the possibility of a place where her family could grow, where friends could gather, and where Christie could finally grasp and hold the thing we all long for--home. In lyrical, contemplative prose, Christie slowly unveils the small trials and triumphs of that first year at Maplehurst--from summer's intense heat and autumn's glorious canopy through winter's still whispers and spring's gentle mercies. Through stories of planting and preserving, of opening the gates wide to neighbors, and of learning to speak the language of a place, Christie invites readers into the joy of small beginnings and the knowledge that the kingdom of God is with us here and now. Anyone who has felt the longing for home, who yearns to reconnect with the beauty of nature, and who values the special blessing of deep relationships with family and friends will love finding themselves in this story of earthly beauty and soaring hope.

God began by creating the physical world and people with spiritual qualities (soul and spirit). Genesis becomes part of the discipline of Bible reading and study begun by many each new year. Why not start at the beginning? we ask. With that desire in place, my husband and I picked The Daily Bible In Chronological Order 365 Daily Readings (TDB). I spent extra time searching out the words of God, which contributed part of the title for my book, GOD SAID IT The expanded title, by adding A THIRTY-DAY JOURNEY, became the impetus for an expanded devotional based on Gods words and topics selected from them. Gods highest creation, manincluding womanspent their first day resting along with their creator. WOW! Wouldnt you have liked to hear the conversation between them? It was Creator to created, Father to child. CONVERSATIONS are imaginary words of God as He and the people of Genesis interact. The journey of Gods children developed into historyHis story. It is also the story of those who would be called Gods chosen people--the Jews. Some conversations extolled characteristics of heroes of the faith mentioned in Hebrews eleven.

Download or read book Caesar and the Sacrament written by R. Alan Streett and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the earliest Christ-followers were baptized they participated in a politically subversive act. Rejecting the Empire's claim that it had a divine right to rule the world, they pledged their allegiance to a kingdom other than Rome and a king other than Caesar (Acts 17:7). Many books explore baptism from doctrinal or theological perspectives, and focus on issues such as the correct mode of baptism, the proper candidate for baptism, who has the authority to baptize, and whether or not baptism is a symbol or means of grace. By contrast, Caesar and the Sacrament investigates the political nature of baptism. Very few contemporary Christians consider baptism's original purpose or political significance. Only by studying baptism in its historical context, can we discover its impact on first-century believers and the adverse reaction it engendered among Roman and Jewish officials. Since baptism was initially a rite of non-violent resistance, what should its function be today?
