As a beam of light, God's love can pierce through the darkness to change the lives of people who are lonely, struggling, fearful, and oftentimes forgotten! God's love is not stopped by prison walls or the crimes committed by those inside. God's love is constant and sure, and it is for everyone! Peace in Prison is a compilation of short stories, thoughts, and Bible truths about prostitutes, murderers, adulterers, hypocrites, and thieves who started a new life in Jesus Christ. No matter where you are or what you have done, you can have a fresh start with God. After reading this book, it is the author's hope that you will say, "Jesus is in jail," as many have told her after talking with her during one of her many visits behind bars. Experience Peace in Prison by getting to know the One who freely offers peace and love to all who accept His gift.
In The Heart of Torah, Rabbi Shai Held’s Torah essays—two for each weekly portion—open new horizons in Jewish biblical commentary. Held probes the portions in bold, original, and provocative ways. He mines Talmud and midrashim, great writers of world literature, and astute commentators of other religious backgrounds to ponder fundamental questions about God, human nature, and what it means to be a religious person in the modern world. Along the way he illuminates the centrality of empathy in Jewish ethics, the predominance of divine love in Jewish theology, the primacy of gratitude and generosity, and God’s summoning of each of us—with all our limitations—into the dignity of a covenantal relationship.
Women and Knowledge in Early Christianity offers a collection of essays that deal with perceptions of wisdom, femaleness, and their interconnections in a wide range of ancient sources, including papyri, Nag Hammadi documents, heresiological accounts and monastic literature.
In this moving memoir, J. D. Kim details his search for healing from God after a snowboarding accident permanently altered his hopes and dreams. With authenticity Kim provides glimpses into his prodigal-son past, offers an unvarnished account of living with a spinal cord injury, and shares the redemptive story that unfolded as his brokenness led him to pursue God and reconstruct new dreams for his life. Kim describes not only his disappointments and frustrations, but also God’s grace and providence throughout the aftermath of his accident. This testimonial invites readers to walk with him along the boulevard of his broken dreams as he seeks physical healing but instead discovers spiritual healing and new God-given dreams.
A year's worth of devotional reading that uses explanations of key Christian doctrines to open new vistas of God's call for intimacy.
