Underway Reflections On Everyday Grace

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Underway: Reflections on Everyday Grace is a book of humorous essays that focuses on the (very) hectic and (mostly) happy life journey of one spiritual traveler and her family--and the everyday traces of God's grace that keep her going. From counting her Facebook "friends" and revealing her bucket list, to sharing her children's adventures--on a submarine out of Hawaii, a week spent in the Guatemala mountains, taking the SATs--Elise Seyfried finds that God's loving presence can be found everywhere, just as long as we look for it.

Shakespeare And The Grace Of Words

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Crossing the boundaries between literature, philosophy and theology, Shakespeare and the Grace of Words pioneers a reading strategy that approaches language as grounded in praise; that is, as affirmation and articulation of the goodness of Being. Offering a metaphysically astute theology of language grounded in the thought of Renaissance theologian Nicholas of Cusa, as well as readings of Shakespeare that instantiate and complement its approach, this book shows that language in which the divine gift of Being is received, apprehended and expressed, even amidst darkness and despair, is language that can renew our relationship with one another and with the things and beings of the world. Shakespeare and the Grace of Words aims to engage the reader in detailed, performative close readings while exploring the metaphysical and theological contours of Shakespeare’s art—as a venture into a poetic illumination of the deep grammar of the real.

Spared By Grace

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

For John Buchan, a summer morning began just like any other. He woke up and left for work—and then four weeks later, he awoke again to find himself in a hospital, suffering from catastrophic injuries. It was a miracle he was alive. Spared by Grace is the inspiring true story of one man’s miraculous “against all odds” survival and recovery from a very serious head-on collision. Doctors were surprised he was alive and have expressed their amazement at his recovery. Having sustained a serious brain injury, one of the many miracles has been the completion of this book, which details many answered prayers. John, a fishing skipper, also shares the story of his life and how he built his family. The strength he and his family have been given to carry them through this journey is remarkable. In the final chapter, John Buchan concludes that his life has indeed been spared by grace. A wonderful testimony to the encouragement of faith and the power of prayer—and a reminder that we are rescued by a God for whom all things are possible. —Pastor David McCaig I try not to use the word miracle in any context, but it is a miracle you are alive, medically speaking you shouldn’t be here. —Patricia Donaldson, MRCGP, general practitioner This gentleman is a triumph of modern trauma treatment and has made a fantastic recovery from what was a very severe incident. —George Patrick Ashcroft, BSC, MBChB, FRCSEd, consultant orthopaedic surgeon Mr Buchan’s injuries in most circumstances would not be survivable. —Angus D Maclean, MBChB, FRCS (trauma and orth) Ed, consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon Mr Buchan has made an exceptionally good recovery from a combination of injuries that could easily have proved fatal. —L.T. Dunn MA, PhD, MB, BCh, FRCSEd, FRCSEd(NS), FRCSGla, consultant neurosurgeon Considering the brain injury you sustained, it’s quite amazing we’re sitting here having this conversation. —Ceri Trevethan, clinical psychologist Given the damage to you brain which was widespread and extensive.....you have made a remarkable recovery. —Jackie Hamilton, clinical neuropsychologist

Grace For Service

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Grace for Service is a thoroughly researched, biblically grounded, personally transformational study of the Holy Spirit’s enabling grace for ministry designed to equip leaders who guide the church in its stewardship of God’s gifts and to enrich the understanding of Christians who want to go deeper in this important subject. This book serves up an exceptionally broad buffet of historical, biblical, and theological information to help the reader engage the many questions associated with “spiritual gifts.” In the process it offers a fresh perspective that transcends typical find-and-use-your-gift teaching and moves beyond the long-standing battles over miraculous gifts. It calls the follower of Jesus to view all dimensions of life through the lens of the Spirit’s gracious equipping and enabling work. Grace for Service is a must-have resource for anyone who teaches about the Spirit’s gifts in church and school settings and an essential read for believers who are passionate about the topic but dissatisfied with what they currently know.
