Download and read online ebook Sinful Saints & Saintly Sinners at the Margins of the Americas write by Patrick Arthur Polk. This book was released on 2015. Sinful Saints & Saintly Sinners at the Margins of the Americas available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The margins of the Americas―borders that are at once physical and societal―engender sacred figures who walk the fine line between sinfulness and sanctity. In worship and artistic representation alike, these entities reflect and impact the experiences of those who regularly struggle with harsh and frequently dangerous economic, political, legal, geographic, gender, and racial realities. In this volume, Patrick A. Polk and his fellow authors examine a series of crucial, and often controversial, divine beings from Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala, Argentina, and the United States. They also find fascinating parallels between the lives and acts of these holy ones and those who have been formally sanctioned by the Catholic Church, revealing the peculiar interrelationship of sin to sanctity. Featured are numerous illustrations of the works of artists who interpret official and unofficial saints, folk heroes turned supernatural intercessors. The broad range of objects considered, from pop culture to fine art, attests to a widespread international infatuation with these complex and often counter-cultural spirits.

There are many complexities associated with ministering to another person. Where does a helper begin? What’s important to notice? Is there an overall ministry strategy that’s beneficial? Saints, Sufferers, and Sinners by author and counselor Michael R. Emlet outlines a model of one-another ministry based on how God sees and loves his people. Emlet helps readers use Scripture to find foundational categories for understanding and approaching one another, which serve as guideposts for wise care. Filled with everyday illustrations as well as counseling examples, Emlet demonstrates what it looks like to approach fellow believers simultaneously as saints, sufferers, and sinners. As part of CCEF's Helping the Helper series, this guide for ministry provides an overall framework for wisely helping any person, balancing all three aspects of our experience as Christians.

This book was released on 2021. Redeemed available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "How many times have we heard the words "God loves you" and yet not believed them because we have made a wreck of our lives and felt unworthy of His love? We hear those words all the time, but how can we see them in action? We see them through God's power to redeem and repair broken lives. In Redeemed, adult Christians will find examples of God's redemption as they explore several key Bible characters who really messed things up. Readers will see how God forgave and restored these people, repaired the damage, and brought meaning and purpose in their lives. Though readers may feel that their failings have erected a permanent barrier between themselves and God, they will learn how God redeems His people time and time again-through the Word and Sacraments, their church, friends, family, and other circumstances"--
