Download and read online ebook Speaking in the Name of God write by Klaus Nürnberger. This book was released on 2019-06-01. Speaking in the Name of God available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. When we preach, we speak in the highest possible authority, the authority of a God who manifests God’s creative power in the reality we experience and God’s benevolent intentions in what happened to Christ. The message of God’s suffering, transforming acceptance of the unacceptable in Christ, is the most critically important message that a suffering, self-serving, and self-destructive humanity needs to hear. Preachers cannot be casual about such a monumental task. Inspired by the spirit of Christ, they will try to develop their gifts to the fullest. This book offers an on-the-job training and self-enhancement course for lay preachers and the ordained clergy. Its interactive approach encourages preachers to discover their own best way of going about their task in a critical dialogue with the author.

Luhrmann. This book was released on 2012-11-13. When God Talks Back available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. A New York Times Notable Book A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2012 A bold approach to understanding the American evangelical experience from an anthropological and psychological perspective by one of the country's most prominent anthropologists. Through a series of intimate, illuminating interviews with various members of the Vineyard, an evangelical church with hundreds of congregations across the country, Tanya Luhrmann leaps into the heart of evangelical faith. Combined with scientific research that studies the effect that intensely practiced prayer can have on the mind, When God Talks Back examines how normal, sensible people—from college students to accountants to housewives, all functioning perfectly well within our society—can attest to having the signs and wonders of the supernatural become as quotidian and as ordinary as laundry. Astute, sensitive, and extraordinarily measured in its approach to the interface between science and religion, Luhrmann's book is sure to generate as much conversation as it will praise.

County homicide detective and former atheist, Cold-Case Christianity examines the claims of the New Testament using the skills and strategies of a hard-to-convince criminal investigator. Christianity could be defined as a “cold case”: it makes a claim about an event from the distant past for which there is little forensic evidence. In Cold-Case Christianity, J. Warner Wallace uses his nationally recognized skills as a homicide detective to look at the evidence and eyewitnesses behind Christian beliefs. Including gripping stories from his career and the visual techniques he developed in the courtroom, Wallace uses illustration to examine the powerful evidence that validates the claims of Christianity. A unique apologetic that speaks to readers’ intense interest in detective stories, Cold-Case Christianity inspires readers to have confidence in Christ as it prepares them to articulate the case for Christianity.
