My Jesus Rides a Motorcycle


Book Description

Growing up in a large adventuresome family I learned to love variety and risky living. I didn't grow up thinking about motorcycles. After several years of motorcycle riding I now realize that the joy of riding has tied together a lot of my life story as riding takes some risks. A well lived missionary life is not a completely safe life. I have known how very real and loving God is and that is the glue that binds these stories together. I, Barbara, a wife, mother of five, grandmother and missionary invite you to take a glimpse into my life and walk of faith.




She's a Bad Motorcycle


Book Description

Why do people ride motorcycles? Thomas Krens, curator of The Art of the Motorcycle, the most popular exhibition ever mounted at the Guggenheim Museum, writes: "For much of society, the motorcycle remains a forbidden indulgence, an object of fantasy, and danger." And of envy. No other machine is thought of as the vehicle—"the perfect vehicle" Melissa Holbrook Pierson calls it—of rebellion, lawlessness, and freedom. She's A Bad Motorcycle collects the writings of those who have sought that freedom. From the genre-defining—and exploding—Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance to Chasing Che the motorcycle has inspired a startlingly rich, unabashedly romantic body of writing that celebrates the risks and exhilaration of the journey to self-discovery. The book includes selections from Eric Burdon, Harry Crews, Harlan Ellison, Robert E. Fulton, Jr., Che Guevara, Fred Haefele, S.E. Hinton, Dennis Hopper, Richard La Plante, Erika Lopez, Horace McCoy, Allen Noren, Robert Pirsig, Gary Paulsen, Melissa Holbrook Pierson, Patrick Symmes, Keith Tye, Hunter S. Thompson, Lois Wilson, Daniel R. Wolf and Tom Wolfe, as well as photographs by Bruce Davidson, Martin Dixon, Ann Ferrar, Danny Lyon, Helge Pedersen, and Irving Penn.




Experiencing the Gospel


Book Description

In recent years, increasing numbers of people from Muslim backgrounds have become followers of Jesus. Some of these conversions have occurred in Cambodia. This book explores the experiences and reflections of forty Cambodians from a Muslim background who have chosen to believe in and follow Jesus. It is based on doctoral research utilizing in-depth interviews which sought to answer the following questions: 1) What role did contextualizing the Christian message play in making it more understandable and compelling? 2) What core themes or factors did those interviewed report as central in their own conversions? 3) How was the gospel message itself experienced as personally meaningful? This book probes the answers to those questions, revealing the manner in which forty Cambodians experienced God and the gospel message. The stories and reflections found here not only provide a glimpse into their lives, but also give insight into the way in which Muslim-background individuals come to believe in and embrace Jesus.




A Little Dose of Grace of Jesus


Book Description

These books will always go back to my parents who brought life into this body. In loving memories to Lee Kenneth Carter and Jeannette Bryant Carter. For the learning and teaching of Christ first and then general living and working for the things that life has brought forth unto me. For without them, none of this could have been possible for me. For as I walk daily, IaEUR(tm)m walking in the anointing of them. When IaEUR(tm)m operating business, IaEUR(tm)m being that daddy; and when IaEUR(tm)m sewing, IaEUR(tm)m being that mother. And the blessing of God falls down on me at all times in my life because of them. For without the parents that God had given me and my sisters and brother, well, letaEUR(tm)s say we could have turned out much differently. Hopefully our children and their children will follow within the footsteps that they had laid out before us as well. From birth, God had made me a servant, a servant to His finest of peopleaEUR"federal government. For I have one of the oldest trades. They wore uniforms in the Bible days, and today, I supply uniforms to GodaEUR(tm)s finest of people. If they work for the post office, police, Department of Transportation, or even a nurse, I got them. For these are mostly what they are truly worth to people, no indeed. Well, being a police officer, what can that person be paid to risk their life in that uniformaEUR"no amount! Because the people that they are there for to protect and serve will blow their heads off. And doctors practice medicine, but God is the healer and doctors are there for the nonbelievers in Christ. God covers all the people in the world; regardless to the color of their skin or anything else, HeaEUR(tm)s there for us. He did it back in the Bible days and HeaEUR(tm)s still doing it today, if we trust and serve and believe in him. And IaEUR(tm)m that believer in Christ and the mighty works that He has done within my life. These books will be healing of daily life tasks, and we generally arenaEUR(tm)t talking to the oneaEUR(tm)s beside us but carrying the tasks of life, just the same. And I will share my testimonies and others with you, giving the praise back to God for all the healing within oneaEUR(tm)s life. And you can see youaEUR(tm)re not alone but others have had the same task and are now sharing them with you for the healing within your life as well. Enjoy the healing and blessing that God has given unto us, and give the praise back to God for what he has done, and the ministry will carry on in books of the grace and mercy of God in our lives. For God has never failed us but people always do, and He is always there to repair us from those its within our lives. The its are the people and places and the things that wasnaEUR(tm)t good for us but we felt we needed them anyway, and God opens up our eyes to how they didnaEUR(tm)t benefit us at all in our lives and puts us in a better place than ever after they were long gone from us.

Riders for God


Book Description

"Combining powerful photographic images with gang members' first-person testimonies, Rich Remsbourg shows the ironic juxtaposition of tattoos, leather vests, and the iconography of the biker world with the Christian practices of Bible study, speaking in tongues, and praying at an altar. He explores the lives of men and women who have redirected the extreme nature of their former ways. Through their own powerful stories, they explain how the addictions and uncontrollable violence that once shaped their lives have given way to dramatic worship and zealous ministry."--BOOK JACKET.

Long Way Down


Book Description

Eighteen countries. Five shock absorbers. Two bikers. One amazing adventure... After their fantastic trip round the world in 2004, fellow actors and bike fanatics Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman couldn't shake the travel bug. Inspired by their UNICEF visits to Africa, they knew they had to go back and experience this extraordinary continent in more depth. And so they set off on their 15,000-mile journey with two new BMWs loaded up for the trip. Their route took them from John O'Groats at the northernmost tip of Scotland to Cape Agulhas on the southernmost tip of South Africa. Along the way they rode some of the toughest terrain in the world -- and met some of the friendliest people. They rode their bikes right up to the pyramids in Egypt and visited Luke Skywalker's house in Tunisia. They met people who had triumphed over terrifying experiences -- former childhood soldiers in Uganda and children living amidst the minefields of Ethiopia. They had a close encounter with a family of gorillas in Rwanda and were nearly trampled by a herd of elephants in Botswana. Riding through spectacular scenery, often in extreme temperatures, Ewan and Charley faced their hardest challenges yet. With their trademark humor and honesty they tell their story -- the drama, the dangers and sheer exhilaration of riding together again, through a continent filled with magic and wonder.
