Beschreibung

"Holy Family" presents a comprehensive exploration of Christian distinctiveness and transformation, examining how believers become "a peculiar people" through spiritual rebirth and sanctification. This scholarly yet accessible work delves deep into the biblical concept of holiness, using 1 Peter 2:9 as a foundational text to understand both individual and collective Christian identity. Through careful analysis of original biblical languages and contemporary theological scholarship, the book illuminates how spiritual transformation impacts daily life, relationships, and community formation.

 
The book's three-part structure provides a systematic examination of Christian identity, beginning with the theological foundations of being "born again" through analysis of key biblical passages. It then transitions to practical applications, offering real-world examples of how spiritual transformation manifests in daily life and relationships. The final section broadens the scope to examine the collective identity of believers as God's family, exploring how individual transformation contributes to corporate witness and community formation.

 
What sets this work apart is its interdisciplinary approach, drawing from sociology, psychology, and anthropology while maintaining firm biblical grounding. The book bridges academic rigor with practical application, making it particularly valuable for pastors, theological students, and serious lay readers seeking deeper understanding of Christian identity. By addressing contemporary debates about Christian distinctiveness in secular society while providing frameworks for personal spiritual development and community building, it offers a balanced and thorough examination of how ancient biblical principles remain relevant in modern contexts.

    Perhaps in no other way do we more vibrantly reflect our creator than with our creativity. Whether through music, writing, baking, painting, posting on social media, dancing, or any other form of artistic expression within our grasp, we were created to create. Yet, there are times we may be unsure about our art, times when our creating and making doesn't feel possible or purposeful or practical. 
     
     
     
    Rachel Marie Kang wants you to know that your art is not peripheral to life—it is at the very heart of why you exist and what you have to offer to yourself and to the world. In Let There Be Art, she gives you permission to embrace the peace, pleasure, and purpose inherent in your art and in the process of making it. This passionate, creative, and cathartic journey invites you to create truthfully out of the broken and beautiful pieces of your life, as well as offer your heart and your art in hopes of helping a hurting world.

    Trial and tribulation are nothing new to Vera Simpson Gaines. When her mother sickened and died when Vera was a young girl, the long-lasting effects were devastating, yet she managed to come through with her sanity intact and a strong sense of determination which served her well in later years as she faced more difficulties. 
    Firmly rooted in her faith and the belief that God does not give you more than you can handle, in the intervening years she has faced estrangement from her father and other family members, an often rocky marriage, and scores of health problems that would have felled a lesser woman. She has handled each battle one at a time, girded by her faith in God and an absolute trust that he knows what is good for her, that he will bring her through the latest storm, shining clean and renewed on the other side. 
    A book of hope, inspiration, and encouragement, Vera Simpson Gaines's words in Call Me Jobulene: A Story of Courage and Determination will have you believing that no matter what you're facing, you, too, will make it through with the help of God.

    Joy Unspeakable focuses on the aspects of the Black church that point beyond particular congregational gatherings toward a mystical and communal spirituality not within the exclusive domain of any denomination. This mystical aspect of the black church is deeply implicated in the wellbeing of African American people but is not the focus of their intentional reflection. Moreover, its traditions are deeply ensconced within the historical memory of the wider society and can be found in Coltrane's riffs, Malcolm's exhortations, the social activism of the Black Lives Matter Movement and the presidency of Barack Hussein Obama. The research in this book—through oral histories, church records, and written accounts—details not only ways in which contemplative experience is built into African American collective worship but also the legacy of African monasticism, a history of spiritual exemplars, and unique meditative worship practices. A groundbreaking work in its original edition, Joy Unspeakable now appears in a new, revised edition to address the effects of this contemplative tradition on activism and politics and to speak to a new generation of readers and scholars.

    Seven titles in one book. All the seven deadly sins explained and analyzed. 
    Book 1: Envy 
    Envy is often something we point out in others, but if we face the facts and admit to being imperfect, finding it in ourselves can actually improve our lives, our attitude, and our happiness. When we figure out where our feelings are wrong, we can take action and change our mindset. So many people think of envy as a sin against others, but actually, we are doing this to ourselves. We create our own misery by looking at others and comparing ourselves to them. 
    Book 2: Gluttony 
    Gluttony has been mistaken for many things in the past. Some people judge others for being fat. Some are confused as to how far to go when indulging themselves in delicious foods. And others wonder if self-discipline in general is the underlying commandment that is related to the sin of gluttony. Understanding the sin, and the essence of it, can be life changing. It can mean the difference between a constant nagging feeling or urge to have more, and on the other hand, a divine feeling of contentment and a smile on your face. 
    Book 3: Greed 
    We’ve heard it before: The love of money is the root of all evil. Greed, or avarice, has caused many to “err from the faith” according to Paul, who wrote to Timothy. “Flee these things,” he said, urging him—and all of us—to concentrate on Christlike qualities instead of worldly possessions, and on treasures in heaven, not on earth. Greed is everywhere. It is almost unavoidable. If we let go of the possessions that so easily possess us, we can focus more on God and His purposes.
