At 14, David Bennett came out to his parents. At 19, he encountered Jesus Christ. At that moment, his life changed forever. As a young gay man, David Bennett saw Christianity as an enemy to freedom for LGBTQI people, and his early experiences with prejudice and homophobia led him to become a gay activist. But when Jesus came into his life in a highly unexpected way, he was led down a path he never would have predicted or imagined. In A War of Loves, David recounts his dramatic story, from his early years exploring new age religions and French existentialism to his university experiences as an activist. Following supernatural encounters with God, he embarked on a journey not only of seeking to reconcile his faith and sexuality but also of discovering the higher call of Jesus Christ. A War of Loves investigates what the Bible teaches about sexuality and demonstrates the profligate, unqualified grace of God for all people. David describes the joy and intimacy he found in following Jesus Christ and how love has taken on a radically new and far richer meaning for him.
"David s Successors: Kingship in the Old Testament" argues for a new reading of kingship in the Old Testament. Rather than presenting the kings as monsters with the occasional angelic ruler this study seeks a more nuanced version of kingship. This book considers the original concept and context of kingship before concentrating on five kings in particular: Jeroboam, Ahab, Hezekiah, Manasseh, and Josiah. Much contemporary scholarship is concerned with the reconceptualization and recontextualization of kingship that hearkens from a negative perspective on kingship, but this book will fully consider the positive and original vision of kingship. This book is ultimately rooted in a hopeful and joyful view of humanity as found in the Psalms, Sirach, and the Chronicles."
The development discourse has long been dominated by best practices prescriptions for reform, but these are not a useful way of responding to the governance ambiguities of the early 21st century. Working with the Grain draws on both innovative scholarship and Brian Levy's quarter century of experience at the World Bank to lay out an alternative-a practical, analytically grounded, "with-the-grain" approach to reducing poverty and addressing weaknesses in governance. Best practice prescriptions confuse the goals of development with the journey of getting from here to there. A strong rule of law, capable and accountable governments, and a flexible, level playing field business environment are i...
Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Flanagan deals with methodological issues in his discussion of not just Davidic studies but also the whole area of what he terms 'social world studies' - his label for social scientific analyses of ancient Israel. Also addressed in this book are the traditions of biblical history as well as archeological and literary information and how it pertains to David.
Here Am I reflects the attitude of our Anointed One. The words were spoken initially in Isaiah 6:8 when the Lord was looking for a messenger, and Isaiah was saying, "Here am I. Send me." Those words also reflect the heart and mission of our Messiah. Many of the prophets spoke about Him, and He brought a message of hope for the sinner, a message of mercy and forgiveness originating from our loving Heavenly Father. We find our promise of the coming Anointed One from the garden of Eden through the covenants. In the temple and the holidays, we see things that also point us toward our Messiah. He's in too many places to list here. We find Him throughout the Old Testament, in the stories, in the text, in the prophecies, saying, "Here Am I, the one foretold about." It's incredible how many places in God's Word, our Messiah, the Anointed One, shows up. My prayer for you is that you are blessed through the reading. May the Lord bless you and keep you. Amen.

This commentary on 1 Samuel is part of a series of commentaries, each to be published by Quartz Hill Publishing House, and each to be in a concise format. The textual base of the commentary is the venerable American Standard Version of 1901. This English version is really one of the best ever produced and it continues to be valuable even now, over 100 years later. There are no frills here: no extensive footnotes, no lengthy outlines, no overbearing introductions-just the text and what it means.
DeMarinis unabashedly argues that the use of religions, beliefs, symbols, and rituals--as well as other resources of the community of faith--are crucial to the therapeutic encounter in pastoral psychotherapy. Balancing "careful judgment" and "appropriate concern", she constructs a feminist methodology of critical caring, synthesized from the fields of pastoral psychology, feminist hermeneutics, and the psychology of religion.
