Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Outreach 2022 Recommended Resource (Spiritual Growth)All fruitful doing must begin with being. For many Christians, it's easy to be swept up into the fast pace of modern life, desiring to do much for God. But we struggle to slow down and be with God.According to pastor, Enneagram teacher, and author AJ Sherrill, being with God is what empowers doing for God. Sherrill shares his own journey from 'busy' Christianity to the ancient paths of contemplative practices. He equips readers to integrate rhythms of stillness, silence, and solitude, offering step-by-step guidance and examples of finding solitude both personally and on retreats.Sherrill warns that making these changes appears absurd in a society where time is money, productivity is central, and hurry is a way of life. He guides readers gently through the beginning and often confusing stages of contemplative practice. Citing timely insights from the world of neurology and mental health, he shows that solitude is crucial not only for Christian growth but also for holistic flourishing. Foreword by Rich Villodas.Readers will emerge, centered in Christ, well on their way to this goal: slow down, pay attention, be still, and be loved.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A compelling conversation across the Old and New Testaments'This book demonstrates that learning from the biblical writers makes us better interpreters and teachers who are more adept at discerning the meaning of the text for our modern world.'On many important matters of Christian practice and belief the Bible seems at first to offer conflicting guidance, and there is danger that we will then select the passages that support the view we already hold for other reasons. In this clear and practical book, Graves takes us through several examples to draw out principles that will enable us to gain an informed overall viewpoint while still valuing each passage for what it has to offer. If heeded, Graves's work will lead to a more mature and less prejudiced use of Scripture in the church.'--H. G. M. Williamson, University of Oxford (emeritus)'In his brilliant book, Graves creates a compelling conversation across the Old and New Testaments as he brings the biblical world to life. How Scripture Interprets Scripture rests on impeccable research and a wealth of historical knowledge, as Graves provides expert guidance on puzzling and opaque passages. Using thought-provoking examples, Graves probes the diversity within Scripture to discover core values by which we might more faithfully follow after God. The serious student and pastor will find here a resource gold mine for their studies and encouragement to apply Scripture authentically today.'--Lynn H. Cohick, Northern Seminary'The Christian tradition teaches us that Scripture is its own best interpreter. Graves demonstrates the various ways Scripture does in fact interpret itself. He unpacks this intertextual dynamic in service of Christian reading and application today. Graves provides a remarkable and accessible guide for students of all ages as they navigate the Bible's complexity and unity, shying away from neither. If a book on biblical interpretation compels readers back to Scripture itself, then it succeeds admirably. How Scripture Interprets Scripture more than fits the bill.'--Mark Gignilliat, Beeson Divinity School'In this careful and subtle study, Graves shows how the voices of different biblical books can be heard both individually and together in the great chorale of the whole scriptural witness.
