The Practical Dreamer and Other Stories to Tell at Christmas 

#Jesus #disciples #Christianity #religion #faith #spirituality #transformation #Christ

Be Transformed as a Disciple of Christ

In the ancient disciple-rabbi relationship, the disciple would follow the rabbi so closely that he would be covered in the dust kicked up from his rabbi's feet. Thousands of years later, though we walk on roads of pavement and not dust, we are still called to be disciples--to follow our Rabbi, Jesus Christ, so closely that we are covered with his life, changed, and made new.

Into His Likeness provides an approachable but in-depth exploration of how to live as a disciple and experience the transformation Jesus wants to work in our lives. We might desire to live more like Christ, but we know we fall short. This book simply helps us follow those initial promptings of the Holy Spirit, so that we may more intentionally encounter Jesus anew each day and be more disposed to his grace changing us ever more into his likeness.

A Theography

Introducing a new kind of Jesus biography: Transform the tired and familiar way you have read the Bible into an electrifying journey of rediscovering Christ. In this compelling work, authors Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola reclaim the entire Bible as a gripping narrative about Jesus Christ.

Jesus says, "The Scriptures point to me!" (John 5:39 NLT). But what does that mean exactly?

Virtually every other "Jesus biography" begins with the nativity account in Bethlehem. In this innovative book, Sweet and Viola begin before time, in the Triune God, and tell the complete interconnected story of Jesus from Genesis to Revelation.

Jesus: A Theography is the first book ever written to combine historical Jesus studies with biblical theology, crafting together one breathtaking saga that tells the Jesus story in both Old and New Testaments. This groundbreaking book clearly demonstrates that every bit of Scripture is part of the same stunning drama - what the authors refer to as the theography of Jesus Christ.

Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola (authors of Jesus Manifesto and Jesus Speaks) unfold the greatest story ever told in a fresh and invigorating way. Whether you are a seasoned Christian scholar, a new believer, or someone who is intrigued by Jesus, this book unveils the discoveries of a lifetime, transforming the tired and familiar way we have read the Bible into an electrifying journey of rediscovering Christ.

Jesus: A Theography:

 * Tells the complete and interconnected story of Jesus, from Genesis to Revelation
 * Combines historical Jesus studies with biblical theology
 * Proves that the main subject of the Old Testament is Jesus Christ
 * Second, standalone volume in the JESUS trilogy

Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola set out on a journey of discovery with one goal: to help restore the sovereignty of Jesus Christ above all else. This led to their national bestseller, Jesus Manifesto. Two years later, they released Jesus: A Theography, beautifully establishing that all Scripture unveils a person--the Lord Jesus Christ. In 2016 they released the final volume in the trilogy: Jesus Speaks. All three volumes of the JESUS trilogy will lead the reader to a deeper understanding of Christ.

A Journalist's Personal Investigation of the Evidence for Jesus

A Seasoned Journalist Chases Down the Biggest Story in History Is there credible evidence that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God? Retracing his own spiritual journey from atheism to faith, Lee Strobel, former legal editor of the Chicago Tribune, cross-examines a dozen experts with doctorates from schools like Cambridge, Princeton, and Brandeis who are recognized authorities in their own fields. Strobel challenges them with questions like How reliable is the New Testament? Does evidence for Jesus exist outside the Bible? Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual event? Strobel's tough, point-blank questions make this Gold Medallion-winning book read like a captivating, fast-paced novel. But it's not fiction. It's a riveting quest for the truth about history's most compelling figure. What will your verdict be in The Case for Christ? 'Lee Strobel probes with bulldog-like tenacity the evidence for the truth of biblical Christianity.' Bruce M. Metzger, Ph.D., Professor of New Testament, Emeritus, Princeton Theological Seminary 'Lee Strobel asks the questions a tough-minded skeptic would ask. His book is so good I read it out loud to my wife evenings after dinner. Every inquirer should have it.' Phillip E. Johnson, Law Professor, University of California at Berkeley

New York

St. Ignatius Loyola is one of the great shapers of the Catholic tradition. The Spanish soldier turned pilgrim for Christ bequeathed not only an extraordinary institutional legacy but also a distinctive spirituality that today nourishes men and women looking for ways to integrate faith and life. Informing Jesuit education, ministry, and training in communities around the world, Ignatian spirituality offers a practical vision--of engaged, responsible, discerning men and women striving to find God in all things--that resonates in this age of transition.
Drawn from the vast body of Ignatius's writings, these 365 maxims help everyone reflect on the presence of God in daily life. First complied by the Jesuit scholar Gabriel Hevenesi in 1715 as Scintillae Ignatianae, these brief thoughts, supplications, prayers, directions, and other aphorisms were first published in an English translation in 1928 but have been unavailable in book form for many years.
Organized into a daybook for contemplation, Ignatius's words serve as personal spiritual exercises. They touch on a range of topics, from affirmations of God's presence and Christ's love to practical advice for living a life of virtue in service to others. In this accessible gathering, anyone seeking a richer spiritual life will find words that inspire, challenge, enlighten, and transform.
FROM THE BOOK
"A little holiness and great health of body does more in the care of souls than great holiness and little health."Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today."
"The sharper you are at noticing other people's failings, the more apt you will be to overlook your own."
"Go and set the whole world on fire."

The Doctrine of Christ

In a society that encourages us to believe it's all about "me, me, me," it is a novel concept to discover it's really all about Christ. When we fail to recognize it's all about Him and begin to think that it is all about us, we are setting ourselves up for a great fall, shares Bishop Nate Holcomb in this thought-provoking new book It's All About Him: The Doctrine of Christ. How can the righteous prepare for battle? You can commit to learning Christ's doctrine and the six guiding principles. Don't miss this chance to obtain these spiritual life-saving lessons Accentuated by theological linguistic history and backed by scriptural documentation, It's All About Him relates that most Christians sadly cannot enunciate or enumerate the principles of the doctrine of Christ -- even if their lives depend on it. Ironically, the spiritual life of a Christian does, in fact, depend on these paramount teachings. This masterfully written book is an important weapon for every Christian's war chest. The Bible warns that nation will rise against nation. Bishop Nate Holcomb, however, says that does not mean country versus country but rather people raising up against one another. And who hasn't been witness to that personally or through media accounts? What can the righteous do to be ready for spiritual battle? It's All About Him relates that we can make the commitment to learn Christ's doctrine and six guiding principles. This book draws upon a vast array of specific scriptural passages from the Bible to accompany the reader through Christ's doctrine and guiding principles as derived from the Book of Hebrews in the New Testament. These principles include: repentance from dead works, faith toward God, the doctrine of baptisms, "laying on of hands," resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. It's All About Him shares the difference and importance of good works, wicked works, and dead works, divulges the seven types of baptisms (several of which may come as a surprise to many Believers), and instructs about the purpose and application for the laying on of hands. Each principle is explored by lingual origin, through scripture, then fully deciphered and applied for the reader. Bishop Holcomb's scriptural explanations and applicable analogies make otherwise complex concepts comprehensive to all levels. And he's not afraid to tell it like it is, offering an eye-opening history of the personage of the devil and the incumbent danger. Other concepts explored include: brokenness, speaking in tongues as an indicator of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, and maturation beyond "milk-fed" Christianity. When Christ is built in people, He enables them to handle life's crises, Bishop Holcomb says. If the foundation is wrong, the building will lean or produce cracks in the walls. So it is with the Christian life and belief system. This remarkable book brings a message of truth to all Christians. Book jacket.

The Image of Christ expresses the view that modern secular audiences can engage with the masterpieces of Christian art at an emotional as well as a purely aesthetic or historical level. This book aims to help the viewer understand these pictures by focusing attention on the purpose for which they were made, and explores what they might have meant to their original viewers.

The authors trace how a recognizable image of Christ evolved, starting with the earliest symbols and metaphorical images such as the Sheperd, the Lamb and the Vine. They trace the emergence of a "true likeness," emphasizing the importance of the Veronica, the "miraculous portrait" said to have been imprinted on the cloth held out to Jesus on the way to Calvary. They describe how artists conveyed the paradox of Christ's dual nature--human and divine, weak and powerful, victim and victor--in portrayals of his infancy. They also show how images of Christ's suffering during the Passion were intended to convey a cosmic, not just a personal significance. Artists have attempted to put extremes of suffering and despair into an overal context of hope-a vein of hope that runs from the catacombs to Hiroshima and beyond.

These are images that speak, even to those who do not hold Christian beliefs. Artists had to make it clear that in representing the life and death of Jesus they were offering a continuing truth; we the spectators have to become eyewitnesses to an event that matters to us now. As a result, the different moments and aspects of Christ's life become, in the hands of great artists, a reflection of all human experience. The Virgin nursing her son expresses the feelings of love every mother has for her child. Christ mocked in innocence beset by violence. Christ risen and appearing to Mary Magdalene is a universal reaffirmation that love cannot be destroyed by death. Beyond their obvious religious significance, these are paintings that have a universal meaning.

A Chronicle of His Life and the Origins of Christianity

"Stunning illustrations, photographs, and maps?a vivid and thorough picture of the life and times of Jesus." ?War Cry (the Salvation Army's biweekly magazine)The Gospels of the New Testament describe the life of Jesus of Nazareth, from his birth in Bethlehem and his travels through Galilee, to his trial and death in Jerusalem. In the Footsteps of Jesus goes even deeper into the story of Jesus' life by following his path through the Holy Land on richly detailed maps and bringing each pivotal place to life through the latest archaeological and historical discoveries. Breathtaking photography and unique period artifacts complement fascinating text and specially created maps by National Geographic cartographers.In the Footsteps of Jesus not only illustrates the stories of Jesus's life, but also the characters and events that shaped his journey and ultimately made him one of the most famous figures the world has ever known. This compelling and beautiful book traces Jesus's path from Bethlehem to Nazareth; throughout his "mission triangle" of Lower Galilee and into the Decapolis; and ultimately on his journey to Jerusalem, the Garden of Gethsemane and Golgotha. Expertly crafted text describes what is known and speculated about Jesus's youth, life and work, while showing the larger events that combined to shape the world in which He lived. Both the text and sidebars describe the places in Jesus' world that can still be experienced by visitors, as well as key sites that have since disappeared but can be reconstructed by forensic means; what life was like in an agricultural society in 1st century Lower Galilee before the Jewish War; the omnipresent tension between Greco-Roman urban lifestyles and observant Jewish communities, which because of its geographic location was particularly acute in Lower Galilee; the devastating impact of Herodian tax regimes and subsequent Roman census-based taxation in Lower Galilee, and the wholesale displacement of the Jewish peasantry; modern religious practices that can be traced to Jesus' teaching and experiences, and other compelling historical figures of the era. Captivating elements include quotes attributed to Jesus; historical data derived from Jewish sources such as the Mishnah, and Roman sources such as Josephus; census data and other documents; key facts, and insightful main text. Newcomers to biblical history as well as the devoted will find this an invaluable reference and a gorgeous book for the home library.

Bring more meaning and wonder into the Christmas season and throughout the whole year!

Oftentimes we find ourselves so caught up in the busyness of Christmas that we don't take time to experience the true sense of wonder and awe around us. In The 12 Ways of Christmas, New York Times best-selling author, David Jeremiah touches on twelve aspects that make the season more meaningful for everyone: wonder, sacrifice, humility, charity, creativity, simplicity, affection, reflection, giving, children, music, and tradition. They're all perspectives that capture the true spirit of why we celebrate Christmas, and how we can live them out through the next twelve months of the year.
