Fireside Chats with God


Book Description

"I am an American Jew by birth. Having faith in Jesus since 1987 . . . I offer this as my worship performance to an audience of one, my beloved Jesus."Do you wonder how some people claim they have "talked with God" or "heard God speaking" to them? Is it possible for you to hear God?Essential to hearing is learning to listen-and that is what Norma Luciano has learned to do since the day a coworker led her to faith in Christ under the golden arches of a McDonald's in Woodinville, Washington.Fireside Chats with God is both a record of the Holy Spirit speaking to her inner person and of her spirit's conversations, "chats," with God. It's her journal of what God has shown her through prayer, meditation, Bible study, and fellowship with other believers. At times God speaks in a gentle voice; other times He corrects her for attitudes and behaviors that hinder her spiritual growth. Always He refers her to Scriptures that underscore His lessons as He asks for her response, and His words never contradict scriptural truth.In chronological order, Fireside Chats with God documents one woman's spiritual journey, but it does more: It offers powerful evidence of a God who lives, acts, and changes people from within. This book provides an example of how you can experience God's voice for yourself.

The Rational Bible: Deuteronomy


Book Description

Is the Bible, the most influential book in world history, still relevant? Why do people dismiss it as being irrelevant, irrational, immoral, or all of these things? This explanation of the Book of Deuteronomy, the fifth book of the Bible, will demonstrate how it remains profoundly relevant—both to the great issues of our day and to each individual life. Do you doubt the existence of God because you think believing in God is irrational? This book will cause you to reexamine your doubts. The title of this commentary is The Rational Bible because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader is never asked to accept anything on faith alone. In Dennis Prager’s words, “If something I write is not rational, I have not done my job.” The Rational Bible is the fruit of Prager’s forty years of teaching to people of every faith and no faith at all. On virtually every page, you will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world in general and to you on a personal level. His goal: to change your mind—and, as a result, to change your life.

Seeing Gray in a World of Black and White 35012


Book Description

Everyone agrees that America is polarized, with ever-hardening positions held by people less and less willing to listen to one another. No one agrees on what to do about it. One solution that hasn’t yet been tried, says Adam Hamilton, is for thinking persons of faith to model for the rest of the country a richer, more thoughtful conversation on the political, moral, and religious issues that divide us. Hamilton rejects the easy assumptions and sloppy analysis of black and white thinking, seeking instead the truth that resides on all sides of the issues, and offering a faithful and compassionate way forward. He writes, "I don't expect you to agree with everything I've written. I expect that in the future even I won't agree with everything I've written here. The point is not to get you to agree with me, but to encourage you to think about what you believe. In the end I will be inviting those of you who find this book resonates with what you feel is true, to join the movement to pursue a middle way between the left and the right - to make your voices heard - and to model for our nation and for the church, how we can listen, learn, see truth as multi-sided, and love those with whom we disagree."

Live Like a Narnian


Book Description

Careful readers of the Chronicles of Narnia know that there is more to the stories than meets the eye. There are layers of meaning in these fairy tales, spiritual gold beneath these Narnian hills. Those who delight in Lewis's magical world love to journey further up and further in, returning to Narnia again and again so that the same old stories can awaken our minds afresh to the wonder and glory all around us. But just how are these stories meant to change us? When we tumble back out of the wardrobe, in what ways should we be different? Drawing upon Lewis's other writings and the Chronicles themselves, Joe Rigney shows the intricate and sometimes subtle ways that Lewis intended his beloved fairy stories to shape our hearts and minds. In doing so, he commends Lewis's Chronicles as a fruitful part of Christian discipleship, so that in reading the Narnian stories, breathing Narnian air, and seeking to live like Narnians, we are wonderfully transformed into the image of Jesus Christ-the Great Lion and High King Above All Kings.
