DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Meditation, or meditative prayer, can seem like a huge and rather frightening task. After all, it is a practice most often associated with the great saints. But you do not need to be a great saint to create prayers and meditations that deepen your own faith and move other peoples hearts. From under the Bushel demonstrates, describes, and encourages a type of meditative prayer that takes you more deeply inside the Bible and your own religious feelings than you may have been before. By imagining yourself actually present in biblical storiesboth in the simple moments or at dramatic eventsyou can use your own personal curiosity to form questions about what you have read. Author Linda L. Greene shows you how you can use your empathy to imagine their answers, to go behind the scenes, to carry on mental conversations with people, and to respond in your own unique way to the events you are considering. The Bible is about God, but it is also, wonderfully and always, about human beings too. There were achy backs and grumbling stomachs in the crowds waiting for Jesus. There were financial and marital worries. There were child-rearing problems. There were even pride and petty jealousies among the disciples. If you forget the humanity of the people in the Bible, you will miss many opportunities to feel as though youre right there with them and to meditate on the moments of their lives.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The Gospel of Mark is significant in many ways. Not only was it the first Gospel to be written and an important literary source for Matthew and Luke, but it is also best characterized as a witness document, a proclamation of salvation through Jesus Christ, which received its creative impulse from the early apostolic preaching. This widely praised commentary by William Lane shows Mark to be a theologian whose primary aim was to strengthen the people of God in a time of fiery persecution by Nero. Using redaction criticism as a hermeneutical approach for understanding the text and the intention of the evangelist, Lane considers the gospel of Mark as a total literary work and describes Mark's creative role in shaping the Gospel tradition and in exercising a conscious theological purpose. By indicating how the text was heard by Mark's contemporaries while also studying Mark within the frame of reference of modern Gospel research, Lane has constructed a thoroughgoing work that is at once useful to scholars and intelligible to nonspecialists. -- From publisher's description.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Christmas Eve. You are hours away from a three thousand-mile flight cross-country. The phone rings. Your great friend tells you that she wont make it through the night without your help. What would you do? A doctor tells your daughter that her seven-day-old son had a tumor and might not survive. What would you do? Many Christians believe we are living in the post-Christian era, a time when God is no longer sought for comfort and assurance. The Bushel and the Candlestick, by Priest John, proclaims Nine Lifesaving Miracles that will serve to instill great hope in a society languishing in near-spiritual despair. Personal accounts of the saving power of God, accompanied by scriptural support, will bless readers in a time of question, a time of hopelessness, a time of despair, and will remind those faithful to shine their light brightly, for neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, (basket) but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matthew 5:15-16, KJV).
