Book Description

INFLAMED: The Testimony of a Modern Prodigal. The Modern Christian Series #2 is the story of someone born in a Christian home and brought up in the church. He grew up an ardent, committed, and conscientious Christian. But through reading indiscriminately, and naively befriending all and sundry, he fell into sin. His experiences in the world of sin were so horrendous and became so entrenched that eventually the Holy Spirit departed from him. It was after seven years that he came to himself, and, like Nebuchadnezzar, his reason returned, and he decided to reunite with the Father. The events that marked his return home were as spectacular as was his descent into the quagmire of sin. He actually had a Pentecostal “rushing mighty wind” experience as the apostles did; enjoyed the distinction of God speaking to him audibly as he did to the child Samuel or Moses at the burning bush; and had the honor of God proposing and sealing a covenant with him just as He did with Noah, Abraham, and David. His books, The Modern Christian Series, are the fruits of these experiences: messages from God to Christendom.

Book Description

Of Modern Sodom is a book on homosexuality that includes its historical global presence, general acceptance in Greek and Roman civilizations, and its metamorphosis in modern times in the Christian world from being a secret sin to an acceptable alternative lifestyle. Much is said about the gay life in the Caribbean, the author’s birthplace, which is compared to how it is experienced in socially and economically advanced countries such as the U.S. and England. Biblical interpretations, old and new, are discussed with the hope that logic and truth can be attained. The book offers an alternative to the general acceptance of the lifestyle to any Christian who is gay, and experiences cognitive dissonance in the practice, or temptation to practice. It also offers counsel to parents, spouses, and significant others. Westwick Abijah Williams writes that homosexuality is unacceptable to God in the past, present, and future. He accepts, however, the propensity or disposition to be as natural and pervasive in some persons as is heterosexuality in others. He contends that the generally accepted notion that homosexual orientation, disposition, or inclination is irreversible is a lie. This notion has contributed to the new theology that makes the practice acceptable to God, because it is incorrigible, even for Him, the Omnipotent One.

Book Description

The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage

Book Description

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

Book Description

The Waiting Father is a collection of sermons by Helmut Thielicke, the great German preacher and theologian, which offer deep insights into the spiritual message of Jesus's fifteen major parables. They were originally preached in Michaelskirche, Hamburg, in the mid-1950s. Thielicke approaches the parables in novel ways. In treating the prodigal son, for instance, he concentrates more on the loving father than the rebellious son, emphasising the centrality of forgiveness. Similarly, when discussing the pharisee and the publican he shows that the publican is guilty of spiritual pride and arrogance, drawing attention to the dangers for the faithful. Both among expositions of the parables and among books for preachers, The Waiting Father stands in a class of its own. Great scholars are usually poor preachers, and great scholars are rarely good preachers, but Thielicke manages to combine distinguished scholarship with fine preaching.
