Precious Blessings
by Jillian HartLawman Jack Munroe didn't want to see the truth about his troubled little girl, especially when she was caught shoplifting in Katherine McKaslin's Christian bookstore. Being a single father was hard on a man's faith and patience, and he didn't need the all-perfect Katherine telling him how to impose discipline. Yet, he began to see the positive effects Katherine had on his daughter...and on him. Jack hadn't been looking for a relationship, but this strong and beautiful woman made him wonder if God wanted him to risk a second chance at love.
Precious Moments in Hell
by CharliThe world is full of tragedy. No one is exempt from having times when they feel like giving up on life because of pain and misery, &“hell on earth.&” Author and survivor Charli&’s memoir reminds readers to never give up on themselves for the Lord is in the midst of tumultuous events. He is always present in the form of a Precious Moment.Charli is one of the many people who have lived through soul-crushing pain. Beginning when she was four years old, she witnessed the darker side of humanity firsthand, from a physically abusive father who abandoned the family to a neglectful mother. Living in foster care and enduring seven years of daily torture was no walk in the park for Charli and certainly didn&’t lighten the burden she would have to bear later in life. Like never-ending torrential rain, Charli&’s life threw one storm after another at her, namely the murder of her mother, the sexual victimization and abduction of her daughter, and the abuse from her husbands not unlike what her mother experienced decades prior.&“There are valleys we each will walk through in this life. Some refer to them as hell on earth. Psalm 23 call them &‘valleys of shadows of death.&’&” This book is a testimony that can serve as a lamp onto your feet and a light onto your path.

Predestination and Free Will: A Comparative Theological Study
by Omer Atilla ErgiThe concepts of predestination and free will have been and continue to be two of the most difficult problems of classical and contemporary theology and philosophy. The debate on the perplexing coexistence of predestination and free will has been the focal point of discourse among theologians and philosophers since antiquity. The deliberations on determinism also played an important role in the formation of Islamic theology, as the creedal statements of Islamic doctrines define belief in predestination as one of the essential articles of creed while asserting that human agents possess some form of will defined as irada al juz'iyya, &‘the minor will' in the Arabic lexicon. Evidently, the creed of mainstream Islam necessitates that the two concepts are reconciled or at least a conceivable argument is provided to support the notion that predestination could indeed coexist with free will. Arguments for coexistence constructed on scriptural revelation and Prophetic tradition were proposed by various Muslim theologians from the formative period to contemporary times, during which several theological schools emerged due to a number of significant differences in views. This book is primarily based on an examination and analysis of the theological arguments proposed by mainstream Islamic theologians and Fethullah Gülen, a contemporary Muslim scholar, and his theoretical framework on the reconciliation of predestination and free will. The methodology of this project includes comparative and detailed analysis of arguments put forward by formative, classical and contemporary Islamic scholars and examination of arguments proposed by Western theologians and philosophers with an objective to establish the similarities and differences in the theoretical frameworks of scholars from different schools, traditions, and faiths. The main argument of this book is based on the theological premises proposed by Fethullah Gülen and mainstream Sunni theologians that support the coexistence of predestination and free will.

Predicar es una decisión: Una introducción descriptiva de homilética bíblica
by Kenton C. AndersonHoy se escudriñan y se cuestionan las formas tradicionales de predicación. El sermón bíblico no es inmune a la presión para evolucionar e incluso caer en desuso, dejando a los pastores y seminaristas confundidos sobre cuál es la mejor manera de comunicarse con los oyentes de hoy. En este libro de texto de avanzada, Kenton Anderson presenta un fuerte llamado a los ministros actuales y futuros para que en efecto escojan predicar sermones bíblicos, a pesar de los obstáculos para hacerlo. En tanto que la predicación en sí misma no es negociable, la forma exacta que toma puede ser mucho más flexible, permitiendo que las personas escuchen a Dios al oír la predicación de su Palabra. En lugar de presentar un modelo o proceso para preparar un sermón, Anderson explica varias opciones disponibles. Al discernir el mensaje de la Biblia, ¿empezará usted con el texto (deductivo) o con el oyente (inductivo)? ¿Se concentrará en la idea (cognoscitivo) o la imagen (afectivo)? Las decisiones que tome le conducirán a cinco estructuras posibles del sermón: • DECLARATIVO: Presente una argumentación • PRAGMÁTICO: Resuelva un misterio • NARRATIVO: Cuente un relato • VISIONARIO: Pinte un cuadro • INTEGRADOR: Entone una canción
Predicting Jesus: A 6-Week Study of the Messianic Prophecies of Isaiah
by Kim EricksonPredicting Jesus is a six-week women&’s Bible study from author and Bible teacher Kim Erickson on the book of Isaiah. It is a verse-by-verse study of Isaiah&’s prophecies about Jesus and their fulfillment in the New Testament. It also includes contemporary application, weekly homework, reflection and prayer, and discussion questions for possible weekly small group interaction. Teaching on Isaiah is deeply personal to Kim as reading through it was transformative in the aftermath of her young son&’s death: &“Reading so many words that actually came true, some hundreds of years later, confirmed the character of God for me. Deep in my heart, I finally let go. I let go of the world&’s effort to shame me into thinking it was all a sham. I let go of human logic. I let go of the paralysis of analysis. The focus of this study—Isaiah&’s prophecies regarding Christ—reveal so much about God: His power, His nature, His plans. We can trust Him to do what He says He is going to do. I pray women use this book to challenge their current mindsets, check their understanding, and push forward in their faith in Jesus and the Bible.&”
