Beschreibung

In "Parables of the Cross," Lilias Trotter intertwines her profound spiritual insights with exquisite prose, inviting readers into a contemplative journey that examines the paradoxes and depths of Christian faith. Drawing from her extensive experience as a missionary artist in Algeria, Trotter employs a unique literary style that combines poetic imagery with philosophical reflection. The book presents various parables that mirror the teachings of Jesus, offering readers a fresh perspective on love, sacrifice, and redemption through a lens that is deeply personal and artistically rich, reflecting her convictions in the midst of societal challenges in the early 20th century. Lilias Trotter (1853-1928) was not only a remarkable artist but also a pioneering missionary who dedicated her life to serving marginalized communities in North Africa. Her background in the arts and her profound commitment to her faith led her to write "Parables of the Cross" as a means of illustrating the spiritual truths she encountered while living and working in a largely uncharted cultural landscape. Trotter's unique synthesis of artistic vision and theological reflection positions her as a significant figure in Christian literature. This evocative collection is highly recommended for those seeking deeper spiritual understanding and connection with the essence of the Christian faith. Trotter's enduring wisdom and keen observations are particularly relevant for readers who appreciate literature that challenges the intellect while nurturing the soul, making "Parables of the Cross" a timeless treasure for both spiritual seekers and literary enthusiasts.

    Have you ever woken up on a Sunday morning and wondered if it was worth getting out of bed? Have you wondered why you should bother to attend corporate worship every week? Unfortunately, it can be easy to miss the excitement of corporate worship—but the excitement is there. Because God is all-sufficient, he commands worship for his glory but our gain! 
     
     
    A Reformed view of worship is shaped by God's Word, with the gospel as its context: God desires to meet with his people, and that meeting comes only in and through Christ, by the Holy Spirit. Jesus is our worship leader, and as our prophet, priest and king he teaches us what worship should look like. Writing with winsome enthusiasm, Jonty Rhodes celebrates the simplicity and freedom of Reformed worship and shows listeners the joys of meeting with God in the means and manner he promises to bless.

    Did the Resurrection Really Happen?

    A Concise Look at the Evidence for Christ's Resurrection 
    The entire Christian faith depends on the belief that Jesus of Nazareth rose from the dead. If there was no empty tomb, Christians have an empty faith. But how can we be confident the resurrection really happened? 
    In this concise booklet, author Timothy Paul Jones addresses the doubts and questions that arise from Jesus's resurrection as recorded in the New Testament. Jones argues this story is not a mere repetition of old pagan tales or a fabrication to fulfill Jewish expectations. Instead, it was a historical event, and that is supported by compelling evidence, including accounts of men and women who were willing to die for what they believed they had seen. 
    Skeptics are correct to assume that such claims should not be taken lightly. But what happens if Jesus really did rise from the dead? What would it mean for me and you? 
    
    - Written for Skeptics: A respectful appeal to those who doubt Jesus's story that provides convincing evidence for his resurrection
    - Short, Accessible Format: A concise exploration of the resurrection of Jesus and why it matters for believers today
    - Part of the TGC Hard Questions Series: Equips readers with answers to difficult questions facing today's church
