Book Description
Renowned pastor-theologian Gregory A. Boyd tackles the BibleÕs biggest dilemma. Ê The Old Testament God of wrath and violence versus the New Testament God of love and peaceÑitÕs a difference that has troubled Christians since the first century. Now, with the sensitivity of a pastor and the intellect of a theologian, Gregory A. Boyd proposes the Òcruciform hermeneutic,Ó a way to read the Old Testament portraits of God through the lens of JesusÕ crucifixion. Ê In Cross Vision, Boyd follows up on his epic and groundbreaking study, The Crucifixion of the Warrior God. He shows how the death and resurrection of Jesus reframes the troubling violence of the Old Testament, how all of Scripture reveals GodÕs self-sacrificial love, and, most importantly, how we can follow JesusÕ example of peace.

Book Description
Scripture reveals a God who meets us where we are, not where we pretend to be. No More Faking Fine is your invitation to get honest with God through the life-giving language of lament. If you've ever been given empty clichés during challenging times, you know how painful it is to be misunderstood by well-meaning people. When life hurts, we often feel pressure--from others and ourselves--to keep it together, suck it up, or pray it away. But Scripture reveals a God who lovingly invites us to give honest voice to our emotions when life hits hard. For most of her life, Esther Fleece Allen believed she could bypass the painful emotions of her broken past by shutting them down altogether. She was known as an achiever and an overcomer on the fast track to success. But in silencing her pain, she robbed herself of the opportunity to be healed. Maybe you've done the same. Esther's journey into healing began when she discovered that God has given us a real-world way to deal with raw emotions and an alternative to the coping mechanisms that end up causing more pain. It's called lament--the gut-level, honest prayer that God never ignores, never silences, and never wastes. No More Faking Fine is your permission to lament, taking you on a journey down the unexpected pathway to true intimacy with God. Drawing from careful biblical study and hard-won insight, Esther reveals how to use God's own language to come closer to him as he leads us through our pain to the light on the other side, teaching you that: We are robbing ourselves of a divine mystery and a divine intimacy when we pretend to have it all together God does not expect us to be perfect; instead, he meets us where we are There is hope beyond your heartache, disappointment, and grief Like Esther, you'll soon find that when one person stops faking fine, it gives everyone else permission to do the same.

Book Description

During your troubled times, you are like a fatally wounded soldier trying hard to win the battle. In this state, it is almost impossible for you to end up victorious. What you need at that point is not the pointless determination to fight but healing. You have to mend every wound caused by the 'enemy' to be able to get back to the battle with renewed strength, powerful arsenal, and uncontainable faith in God Almighty. When your own wounds are healed, you can be a channel for others' healing. Healing has been one of the universal needs of humans since the beginning of the destruction of sin in the world. Weakness, deformity, disease are just some of the few human practices in every age and region. In addition, healing scriptures are one of the gifts of God to humanity through Christ. His healing scriptures will send healing to our mind, body and soul as well to our spirit. Anxiety, depression and stress are all connected illnesses. Healing scriptures will aid you to heal in every circumstance of illness that you face and you will find it through the bible and they are very true; each word comes from the word of God. Still, you will find that certain healing scriptures are praises that God had ordained. Such healing scriptures are for lifting the spirit, praise, and lifting yourself to heights of joy that is unspeakable.

Healing Scriptures From Genesis To Revelation: 300 Healing Bible Verses On The Proven Healing Promises From God's Word Your healing words and healing promises from God's Word. These healing scriptures of God's medicine are paraphrased for an easy read. Here Is A Preview Of What You Will Learn Some of the most powerful scriptures are the healings and miracles Jesus performed that were recorded in the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. This is an often untapped power for healing in the twenty first century. The scripture tells us in Hebrews 13:8: "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever". If He was willing to heal someone of sickness and disease yesterday, then He is surely willing to heal anyone of us today! Here is a scripture of a man asking if Jesus was willing to heal him. We can also ask Him. Look at the recorded scripture below: Matthew 8:1-3: "When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. 2: A man with leprosy came and knelt before him and said, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean." 3: Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!" Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy." Jesus healed people from all different ethnic groups and nationalities of all their diseases in the book of Matthew. Peter tells us in Acts 10:34, that he perceived that God is no respecter of persons. In other words, He does not play favorites. Romans 2:11 says: "For God does not show favoritism". Jesus said from the cross "it is finished" in John 19:30. Healing at that moment was provided for all humankind. This may be a new thought for you. With this in mind, take each scripture to heart. Consider applying these scriptures as a type of medicine for your spirit, soul, and body! The only side effects you will experience are, health, energy, joy and an overall sense of well being! :) Included in this book, is a comprehensive list of 300 healing bible verses, which were compiled with healing scriptures from Genesis to Revelation.

Book Description
"We found something." With these words, a Presbyterian minister is thrust into a medical crisis: a tumor is pressing on her brain. Doctors cannot offer a preferred treatment plan: radiation and surgery are equally valid but carry vastly different risks and consequences. She herself must choose. She plunges into a maze of medical research, but the analytical mode of Western culture cannot help her find peace in her decision. Instead, she is unwittingly led along an ancient prayer path called Lectio Divina, and transformed by inexplicable and repeated encounters with goodness. Still a community's shepherd in faith, she shoulders the question they too ask: "Can God be found here?" The maze becomes a labyrinth: a spiritual journey that brings her to a center that holds. Her decision made, she undergoes treatment. "You must have been terrified," a friend says. That is when the author realizes that her experience is unusual: she had not been afraid. How to explain that? This memoir recounts how her ideas of God and self are reshaped as she discovers a place of deep knowing and trust. Humbled and surprised, she experiences in her body the gospel she has preached for years.
