Zion’S Saving Grace


Book Description

We all have times when someone disappoints us. But what do you do when God disappoints you? Just like Job, you worship. Zions Saving Grace is a look inside a mothers heart as she wrestles with her son being born to die so that others may live. For five years, author Denetria Dee Dee Moore and her husband tried to get pregnant. All they wanted was a son. They rejoice when they discover they are having a son, but happiness turns to sadness when the parents learn they will lose him. Moore shares her experiences as they come to terms with their sons fate. They wrestle with the question, What do you do when it is God that you need to forgive? Zions Saving Grace is a journey of fear to faith, heartbreak to hope, sadness to joy, patience to triumph, and grief to grace. It is the story of true worship. This book will encourage you not to give up on Gods grace and to continue to walk by faith, not by sight. You will smile again. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in Truth (John 4:24).




Zion, City of Our God

For three thousand years Jerusalem has held a special place in the hearts of Jews and Christians. More than any other site in the Bible, Jerusalem signifies God's judgment and hope.

Representing Zion


Book Description

The prophetic books of the Old Testament offer a fascinating collection of oracles, poetic images, and theological ideas. Among the most prominent themes are those of judgment and salvation, especially concerning the fate of Zion. This place, where the people of God dwell, is alternately presented as either the object of divine wrath or the image of a salvific ideal. Representing Zion provides a thorough and critical study of the images of Zion in the entire prophetic literature of the Old Testament. The book challenges traditional interpretations of Zion and offers a fresh exploration of the literary and theological nature of the biblical writings. Zion has largely been treated by scholars as an image of the inviolable city consistently and unambiguously used by Old Testament authors. Representing Zion reveals the Zion motif to be contested, complex and profoundly theological—a reflection of the ambiguous role of YHWH as judge and saviour.

Two Books, One Story.


Book Description

Where would a Cuckoo and a Lobster be found in the proximity of Cancers and Rainbows? Where would bread, unleavened or puffed up, shed light on life and sincerity in religious practice? They meet within the pages of this latest book by Teddy Donobauer. What appears natural in some aspects carries spiritual significance in many other. A butterfly not only flutters by, but cries to the soul, learn from me. The almost universal concern for the environment is on the lips of every man. And we are blamed for virtually every evil. What is not on the lips of all, is the fact that our natural environment depends on the spiritual environment which precedes it, and out of which it came. Our sins against creation started as sins against the larger environment of the Creator. It is our loss of correspondence with the Creator which has led to our disastrous behaviour in His world. Creation and the Uncreated cannot be separated from each other as that which is visible is entirely dependent on invisible realities. Creation and God cannot be separated, and every physical thing is under Spiritual laws. There are therefore two books to read. The Bible and the Creation of which the Bible speaks in a multitude of ways. What is true in the world is also true in the Spiritual world. This book explores this double message in a few chosen areas. The one-eyed visions of the naturalist must be complemented with a spiritual second eye. A stereo vision of the visible and the invisible together. Seeing with two eyes, and looking with eyes wide open on the world while it is still ours to live in. It’s salvation will still be the Creator’s business
