Book Description

A Firefighter's Prophetic Journey is a fascinating, personal story of a man's dreams, visions, and encounters with God. For the first time, Hopper recounts his journey through the fires of life, in the physical and the spiritual, discussing in depth the prophetic lessons learned, the profound impact they had upon his heart, and how they have encouraged the faith of numerous individuals along the way. These are stories of ministry beyond the pulpit, outside of the Church, typically one on one with an audience of One. After a dramatic, visible encounter with the angel of the Lord in April of 1995, Hopper writes... "Ezekiel had an encounter with the Lord that left him speechless; he sat by the river Chebar for 7 days, astonished (Ezekiel 3). When Isaiah encountered the Lord in Isaiah 6, he said "I am disintegrating." Many others fell on their faces "like dead men." After Job complained to the Lord for over 30 chapters he finally said, my ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. I abhor myself and I repent in dust and ashes (Job 42). When God appeared at Mount Sinai, the people told Moses to go talk to God and tell them what He said. They didn't want that much of God again. Moses said "The Lord has come near you to put the fear of Him in you that you might not sin" (Exodus 20). Peter experienced terror on the Mount of Transfiguration when he saw Jesus in His glorified state. Saul of Tarsus said "Who are you, Lord?" as he was struck blind. Do I dare compare myself to people in the Bible? Of course I do! That's what we SHOULD do!" With no Christian heritage in his immediate family, God drew Hopper to Himself through this journey of discovery...40 years experiencing the beauty of the Lord, beyond the works of men. As a memoir meant to inspire individuals who are walking through their own fires, these stories will reveal how the Lord does work in mysterious ways. The reader will learn how the path of true obedience faces controversy, can be quite painful in unexpected ways, and how the ministry of Prophet is not one of glamour and recognition. However, it's our walking through these fires that the Lord refines our hearts. People do not care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Book Description

Like taxes, death is inevitable. Everyone experiences it sooner or later. This book offers perspectives on death and dying from all major religions, written by experts in each of those religions. Focusing on the major world traditions, it offers important information about what death and dying means to those practicing these faiths. The second part of the book adds a necessary and truly unique perspective - a personal look at how people actually die in the various world religions, as told by a hospital chaplain, with anecdotes and experiences that bring the death process to life, so to speak. Each chapter engages the theology of each religion, giving quotes from the literature of their respective scriptural traditions, to explain the process of dying, death, and the afterlife. In doing so, each author draws on the history of his respective tradition and looks at real-life figures, exemplars of the tradition, showing how practitioners view death and hope to one day engage the death process themselves.

Book Description

A chronicle of a contemplative's mystical journey of finding a God who is as present to us today as he was in the time of Abraham. He is a God who listens, a God who speaks, and a God who heals. Could God be preparing us for the prophetic time that the prophet Joel spoke about when God will pour out his spirit on all humanity? "Your sons and daughters shall prophesy, your old people shall dream dreams, and your young people will see visions" (Joel 3:1-3). This author experienced the voice of the Lord calling in the night. She heard his voice and was gifted with all of the gifts of the Holy Spirit: faith, wisdom, knowledge, prophecy, discernment, healing, tongues, interpretation of tongues, and miracles. As you are led through her life, you will see how the prophetic came to fulfillment through her lived experiences. The miracles she gives witness to will speak to a God who is alive and dwells among us. He is the Lord who will speak to our times and our culture. God leaves us with a message of his all-consuming, unconditional love and a hope for all mankind.

Book Description

"Frightening...Firestorm comes alive when Struzik discusses the work of offbeat scientists." —New York Times Book Review "Comprehensive and compelling." —Booklist "A powerful message." —Kirkus "Should be required reading." —Library Journal For two months in the spring of 2016, the world watched as wildfire ravaged the Canadian town of Fort McMurray. Firefighters named the fire “the Beast.” It acted like a mythical animal, alive with destructive energy, and they hoped never to see anything like it again. Yet it’s not a stretch to imagine we will all soon live in a world in which fires like the Beast are commonplace. A glance at international headlines shows a remarkable increase in higher temperatures, stronger winds, and drier lands– a trifecta for igniting wildfires like we’ve rarely seen before. This change is particularly noticeable in the northern forests of the United States and Canada. These forests require fire to maintain healthy ecosystems, but as the human population grows, and as changes in climate, animal and insect species, and disease cause further destabilization, wildfires have turned into a potentially uncontrollable threat to human lives and livelihoods. Our understanding of the role fire plays in healthy forests has come a long way in the past century. Despite this, we are not prepared to deal with an escalation of fire during periods of intense drought and shorter winters, earlier springs, potentially more lightning strikes and hotter summers. There is too much fuel on the ground, too many people and assets to protect, and no plan in place to deal with these challenges. In Firestorm, journalist Edward Struzik visits scorched earth from Alaska to Maine, and introduces the scientists, firefighters, and resource managers making the case for a radically different approach to managing wildfire in the 21st century. Wildfires can no longer be treated as avoidable events because the risk and dangers are becoming too great and costly. Struzik weaves a heart-pumping narrative of science, economics, politics, and human determination and points to the ways that we, and the wilder inhabitants of the forests around our cities and towns, might yet flourish in an age of growing megafires.

Book Description

This innovative study reveals the creative world of a Native community. Once seminomadic hunters and gatherers who traveled by horse wagon, canoe, and dog sled, the Dene Tha of northern Canada today live in government-built homes in the settlement of Chateh. Their lives are a distinct blend of old and new, in which traditional forms of social control, healing, and praying entwine with services supplied by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a nursing station, and a Roman Catholic church. Many older cultural beliefs and practices remain: ghosts linger, reincarnating and sometimes causing deaths; past and future are interpreted through the Prophet Dance; ?animal helpers? become lifelong companions and sources of power; and personal visions and experiences are considered the roots of true knowledge. Why and how are such striking beliefs and practices still vital to the Dene Tha? Drawing on extensive fieldwork at Chateh, anthropologist Jean-Guy Goulet delineates the interconnections between the strands of meaning and experience with which the Dene Tha constitute and creatively engage their world. Goulet?s insights into the Dene Tha?s ways of knowing were gained through directly experiencing their lifeway rather than through formal instruction. This experiential perspective makes his study especially illuminating, providing an intimate glimpse of a remarkable and enduring Native community.

Christianity Today "Beautiful Orthodoxy" Book of the Year in 2019. Why do our families have so much power over us? In The Storm-Tossed Family, bestselling author Russell Moore (Onward, Christianity Today's 2016 "Book of the Year Award Winner") teaches readers whether you are married or single, whether you long for a child or shepherding a full house, you are part of a family. Family is difficult because family—every family—is an echo of the gospel. Family can be the source of some of the most transcendent human joy, and family can leave us crumpled up on the side of the road. Family can make us who we are, and family can break our hearts. Why would this social arrangement have that much power, for good or for ill, over us?

Book Description

A dangerous shell game is being played in cities across the country. It is a Russian roulette-style series of decisions practiced on a daily basis, involving the safety of a generally unsuspecting public. As fire houses and their companies are closed and disbanded, their communities become unwitting victims to the ravages of fire, awaiting help from ever-increasing distances. The men and women proclaimed heroes doing their job day in and day out become expendable when fire department budgets fall to the domain of those lacking an iota of experience, namely, the politicians. Convenient Heroes is a microcosm of the ongoing struggle between firefighters who fight fires and save lives, versus politicians who don't. It is the story of "The Bravest," who are due far more than a photo op and honorable mention when it is politically expedient. K. Scott Bonovich was granted access to firehouses in three different departments, often living there with the firefighters, listening, observing, and many times riding along to fires. He learned first hand why these average men and women are heroes. He also learned that fires and politics do not mix ... at all. About the Author K. Scott Bonovich spent much of his life in Maryland, and currently lives in Los Angeles. "How could I truly describe what these average men and women experience that does make them heroes in the literal sense of the word?" Publisher's website: http: //sbprabooks.com/KScottBonovich
