Womanish Theology - Discovering God through the Lens of Black Girlhood

Khristi Lauren Adams

Sinossi

Khristi Lauren Adams's faith was first shaped by her experiences as a Black girl--learning about Scripture from her grandmother, Mama Hattie; "playing church" with her seven cousins over summer vacation; and grieving the murder of her sixteen-year-old friend when she was just fifteen. 
 
In Womanish Theology, Adams reflects on those experiences, inviting readers to learn from a new perspective and guiding them to a deeper understanding of their own spirituality. 
 
This groundbreaking book introduces a new branch of theological thought Adams calls womanish, as a play on the womanist tradition (the theology of Black womanhood). "Womanish," remembers Adams, is a term Black mothers used for young girls as they grew more interested in doing grown-up things. Adams draws on her own life story as well as the life stories of other Black girls to explore theological concepts such as Scripture, theodicy, salvation, prayer, neighborly love, and the image of God. 
 
Through this journey, readers will learn that theology is for everyone and that the whole community of God can learn from the spiritual insights of Black girls.

Radical Prayer - The Power of...

Manny Mill, Harold Smith,...

What if we prayed how Jesus taught us to? Many of us pray with little heart. We mutter the usual and leave with little expectation. But is this how Jesus taught us to pray? The Lord’s Prayer is a prayer according to God’s will, a prayer that beckons heaven to crash into earth. Tied to the sure promises of God, it compels us to seek—and expect—His glory in every sphere. When one prays consistently, persistently, and boldly for the hallowing of God’s holy name, big things happen. Radical Prayer gives us a glimpse of the transformative and explosive power of praying in God’s will, a power that takes place internally and manifests externally. Whether your prayer life is strong or in shambles, Radical Prayer will compel you to a life of bold, persistent, transformative, and expectant prayer.

The World's Worst Cults - True...

Al Cimino

Some individuals have such a magnetic personality that they can attract a hugely devoted following, ignoring the misdeeds of their leader and even committing evil on their behalf. With religious, spiritual or philosophical beliefs to guide them, cults can lead to some of the disturbing events of the modern era. Filled with shadowy rituals and sinister hierarchies and led by masterful manipulators, they can easily become the site of unthinkable horror - and it is only after the leader is brought down that those caught deep inside truly understand what was going on. 
 
This book explores the cases of some of the most horrifying cults ever to have existed, including: 
- The Family, led by Charles Manson, a cult of death and destruction which terrorized Los Angeles in the 1960s. 
- The Branch Davidians, led by David Koresh, a doomsday cult that ended in a tragic shootout with the authorities. 
- The Peoples Temple, led by the Reverend Jim Jones, who orchestrated a mass murder-suicide after convincing his followers to relocate to a remote commune in the Guyana jungle. 
- Aum Shinrikyo, founded by Shoko Asahara, which carried out a number of terrorist attacks in Japan in the late 20th century.

Everyday Revolutionary: Audio...

J. D. Greear

In this six-session audio Bible study, you will discover what it means to live a life of bold faith in a world that often opposes your beliefs.   
You've likely felt cultural shifts under your feet, the underlying tension between living faithfully as a Christian and navigating an increasingly complex cultural landscape. Perhaps you've found yourself wrestling with questions that seem to have no clear answers:When should I speak up and when should I stay silent?How can I show love to my neighbors while standing firm in my convictions?What does it mean to be both gracious and truthful in a world that often sees these as mutually exclusive? 
Join pastor J. D. Greear as he answers these questions by looking at the life of Daniel—a Jewish man who was distinctively faithful and beloved in the culture of Babylon—and at the writings of Peter and other New Testament authors, who used Babylon as a metaphor for the secular world after Jesus' ascension.Sessions run times:Made to Make a Difference (18:30)Why We Are Here (17:30)Citizens of Another Kingdom (18:30)Live Quietly: Creation-Fulfilling and Excellence-Pursuing (14:00)Live Quietly: Holiness-Reflecting, Redemption-Displaying, and Mission-Advancing (17:30)Testify Loudly (17:30)
