Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How Engaging Horror Helps Us Fear Rightly Is it possible to be scared--in a good way In Be Afraid, theologian and psychological scientist Kutter Callaway explores the surprising relationship between fear, horror, and Christian faith.

Be Afraid argues that engaging with horror stories--whether in the media or in the Bible--can benefit our spiritual lives by teaching us how to fear rightly.The Bible calls on Christians to think about what is good, beautiful, and true. And sometimes, the truth is horrifying.About the Series The Discovering God in Pop Culture series seeks to demonstrate how Christian faith is enriched and made better by critical and creative engagement with pop culture.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'No one practice (or book) will solve our generational battle against distraction. . . .

For many today, our attention is stretched thin by overextended schedules, unmanageable calendars, and an impossible to-do list.But what if the more we try to do everything, the less we are doing anything truly meaningful In The Pace of Peace, pastor Jay Y.

Settled and secure in the presence of God.Encounter God in all of life and discover the peace and ease of being present, known, and fully loved with The Pace of Peace.…
