Book Description

"This book uses the superhero theme to present Christ crucified in a way that readers may never have seen Him before. But Jesus is not merely another myth on the fantasy shelf in the library or on the movie screen. His story is historical fact! And Christ's superhero errand to rescue fallen mankind brings together the important elements in all hero stories. Jesus' sojourn of salvation will be examined in the Scriptures yet conveyed in storytelling language. This glory story of Christ will enlighten readers as to why Jesus is the only hero the world ever truly needed-or ever will need"--

Book Description

What is it that motivates you? What is your goal in this life? How are you coping and making sense of the trials and difficulties that you are facing today or will face in the furture? Are you searching for the truth or hiding from it. Kramer Soderberg - College basketball coach and first time author, allows you the reader to join him on his personal spiritual quest while coaching, motivating, and pushing you to grow in your own relationship with Christ and reap all the wonderful spiritual gifts that God and his Church are offering you. Most of us don't realize we are in the midst of a battle and have no idea what the end goal of this life actually is. Majority of us have been misled by the lies of our culture. And all of us have asked the question, "How am I going to deal with this?" or made the statement, "I'm just not motivated at the moment." As a Church, as Christians, and as followers of Jesus Christ we so often forget, as we all desperately search and scramble for what we want and need in this life, that all those desires we are chasing can be found in the same place and are given by the same person. "Fill Your Cup for Christ" takes you on the spiritual journey of an everyday sleepwalking cradle Catholic who was searching to get more out of his faith life. Kramer Soderberg--through stories, strategies, and some in your face coaching tactics--helps his readers grow in their relationship with Jesus, enhance their understanding of Catholic Church teaching, and ignite the desire to become the saint God is calling all of us all to be. Simple, genuine, and easy to read, "Fill Your Cup for Christ" is a life-changing book for Christians in all stages of life!

Book Description

A unique look at Christian biblical interpretation and theology from the perspective of Native American tradition. This book focuses on four specific experiences of Jesus as portrayed in the synoptic gospels. It examines each story as a “vision quest,” a universal spiritual phenomenon, but one of particular importance within North American indigenous communities. Jesus’ experience in the wilderness is the first quest. It speaks to a foundational Native American value: the need to enter into the “we” rather than the “I.” The Transfiguration is the second quest, describing the Native theology of transcendent spirituality that impacts reality and shapes mission. Gethsemane is the third quest. It embodies the Native tradition of the holy men or women, who find their freedom through discipline and concerns for justice, compassion, and human dignity. Golgotha is the final quest. It represents the Native sacrament of sacrifice (e.g., the Sun Dance). The chapter on Golgotha is a discussion of kinship, balance, and harmony: all primary to Native tradition and integral to Christian thought.

Book Description

Many people go through very difficult times in life. The author documents the journey through his dark night of the soul. The poetry paints vivid word pictures with brutally honest feelings about what he is experiencing. He does not pretend to be something he is not. He merely writes from the darkness as he struggles to find the light. As the book progresses, the light at the end of the tunnel becomes apparent. He becomes, in fact, what he always thought he was in theory. This book is not a light read, but it is very easy to read.

Book Description

In the past forty years, while historical-critical studies were seeking with renewed intensity to reconstruct events behind the biblical texts, not least the life of Jesus, two branches of literary studies were finally reaching maturity. First, researchers were recognizing that many biblical texts are rewritings or transformations of older texts that still exist, thus giving a clearer sense of where the biblical texts came from; and second, studies in the ancient art of composition clarified the biblical texts' unity and purpose, that is to say, where biblical texts were headed. The work of tracing literary indebtedness and art is far from finished but it is already possible and necessary to draw a conclusion: it is that, bluntly, Jesus did not exist as a historical individual. This is not as negative as may at first appear. In a deeply personal coda, Brodie begins to develop a new vision of Jesus as an icon of God's presence in the world and in human history.

Book Description

“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” — 1 John 2:15 Those who struggle with habitual sin are keenly aware of the despair and fatigue that comes from trying harder and harder to control the desire to do what is wrong in the eyes of God. For this person, there be times of limited success in overcoming sin, but eventually he/she falls back again into unhealthy patterns. In "The Expulsive Power of a New Affection", Thomas Chalmers argues that no matter how hard we may try, we’ll never overcome habitual sin in our lives unless we switch our affections from the world to Jesus Christ. Thankfully Christ loved us first and is more than willing to set us free if we’d only realize the true Gospel power that we can all have in our lives today.
