Sinopse

Shining a Light on the Problem of Innovation 
 
Churches and their leaders have innovation fever. Innovation seems exciting--a way to enliven tired institutions, embrace creativity, and be proactive--and is a superstar of the business world. But this focus on innovation may be caused by an obsession with contemporary relevance, creativity, and entrepreneurship that inflates the self, lacks theological depth, and promises burnout. 
 
In this follow-up to Churches and the Crisis of Decline, leading practical theologian Andrew Root delves into the problems of innovation. He explores  
 
● where innovation and entrepreneurship came from and how they break into church circles 
● the "new imaginations" like neoliberalism and technology that hold the church captive to modernity 
● the moral visions of the self that innovation and entrepreneurship deliver--which lead to significant faith-formation issues 
● a healthier spiritual alternative: a return to mysticism and the poetry of Meister Eckhart

    Bible Study For Women & Men...

    “The One” who bends the Matrix to His will, really and truly is Jesus Christ because it is written in (John ch.1):“He was in the world and the world was made by Him.” 
    Consider the quantum physics involved, and the power over matter and energy Christ possessed to simply “vanish out of their sight” in (Luke ch.24) & After His resurrection, “Then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said, ‘Peace be unto you.’” (John ch.20) & "[He] let them touch His hands and feet.". 
    [And] in the movie Pulp Fiction, Ezekiel ch.25 v.17 is mentioned. Did you know that 90% of this so-called “verse” is NOT from the Bible? The question is asked almost straight into the camera, almost to YOU, the audience, "Do you read the Bible?" to see if you'll catch the fictional verses. 
    This book is a call to action intended mainly for believers unfamiliar with the Word of God; also aimed to encourage & empower young people. 
    My purpose is to encourage YOU to study the Scriptures for yourself, for clarity & mental freedom, spiritual discernment & wisdom. 
    Scriptures may not use modern terms such as “self development”, “mental wellness” & “emotional freedom”; but that is exactly what they can be used for. 
    This book is titled: "Bible Study for Women & Men" to emphasize the point that The Word of God is addressed TO everyone. 
    The Bible was written and printed at a time when the terms "man" and "mankind" were universal terms which referred to all human beings. Please let's NOT focus on the lack of specific terms. Let us FOCUS on ALL the wisdom, the truth and the love made available to us by Christ and our Creator Father. 
    Example, the very first person the Risen Christ chose to show Himself to after His resurrection, was a woman. 
    This book will not try to convert anyone to any particular denomination. The focus will be on what is written in the Scriptures; and the teachings of Christ, the Messiah.

    What the Bible Says About Sex -...

    When it comes to sex, the Bible is marred by inequality. To address the consequences of that, What the Bible Says About Sex asserts that modern perspectives on sexuality and gender should be separated from the more constraining, historical views of traditional biblical interpretation. 
     
     
     
    What does the Bible say about sexuality? How have traditions of biblical interpretation influenced our understanding of sex and gender? What the Bible Says About Sex answers that and many other questions. Not shy, it analyzes why the Church claimed dominion over marriage, while the female body remained a source of potential evil. It wrestles with how sexuality is used to reinforce notions of honor, and how it can be used to manipulate others. It looks brazenly at the pornographic and the erotic passages of the Bible, and how traditions of interpretation veiled them. With the Bible frequently invoked to support arguments in the present age over the moral limits of sexuality and gender, having a greater awareness of what the Bible says about sex and how it is, and has been, interpreted is critical now more than ever. 
     
     
     
    What the Bible Says About Sex is suitable for students, scholars, and general audiences with an interest in sexuality and the Bible, and sex and desire in both ancient and modern Christianity.

    Do you ever feel like Bible stories took place in a whole different world? Well, they did. And the settings in which they occurred provide clues to our better understanding of each. When you comprehend, for example, how dry and barren the wilderness actually is, you get a new dimension in your Scripture reading. John Beck combines his passion for God’s Word and his love of geography to share deep insights into how wilderness extremes factor into familiar Bible stories. By recognizing these physical landscapes and the way God worked in others’ lives, you can more fully appreciate His work in your own life whenever you find yourself in a difficult spiritual wilderness.
