Описание: Conflict in the Middle East has caused observers to ask if Muslims and Christians can coexist. History suggests that relations between those two groups are not predetermined, but are the product of particular social and political circumstances. This book examines Muslim-Christian relations during an earlier period of political and social upheaval.
Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Christians details the processes through which LGBT Christians resolve the fraught tensions between their religious, sexual and gendered identities, and examines the associated changes to their religious practice in the pursuit of "authenticity." The book moves between richly described first-person accounts and clear theoretical analysis, contextualising the disucssion within contemporary theories of religion and same-sex attraction. Through careful qualitative research with LGBT Christians in the Australian Metropolitan Community Church (MCC), and the Uniting Church, Bronwyn Fielder and Douglas Ezzy show that although painful self-questioning and struggle is experienced by some LGBT Christians, many people ultimately find a resolution and a sense of peace with their sexual identity as LGBT Christians.
The pursuit of authenticity is shown to be driven by participants' essentialist understanding of sexuality and gender, and the centrality of religiosity to their sense of self. Offering insight into how participants transform their relationships, emotions, beliefs, and ritual practices in order to make this authentic life possible, this study is an important contribution to the field of religion and sexuality.

When Christian Hochstetler returns to the Amish after seven years in captivity, he finds that many things have shifted. His father wants him to settle back into a predictable Amish life of farming, and Christian's budding friendship with Hannah Rupp beckons him to stay as well. Yet Christian feels restless, and he is soon faced with a life-altering decision. Will Christian choose the Amish identity that his father desires for him?

Описание: "One nation under God," "Endowed by their creator," and "In God we trust" are familiar and foundational phrases to those of us now described as being a part of "the greatest generation" or "the baby boomers." We've spent our lives proudly proclaiming that America is a Christian nation. After all, we made it part of our pledge, our founding documents, and we printed it on our money. Setting aside that nostalgia, the reality is that America is the third largest mission field in the world, only four percent of Americans born after 1980, believe that the Bible is true and divorce rates and pornography use are similar inside of the church as outside. How did we get here? Certainly, there are multiple factors, but a large piece of the answer is that we took God out of the schools, then out of the homes, and now we are taking Him out of the church. In churches where God may still be found, He has become one dimensional with only characteristics of love, grace, and mercy. This parallels our societal changes where all behaviors are now acceptable, and you dare not state that something is wrong, or you'll be labeled as intolerant and prejudice. Whether politically correct or not, Hell is a literal reality where those who intentionally reject Christ will spend eternity in anguish-not because God is vengeful but very simply because that is the choice that they made. Before we comfort ourselves with, "Oh, but I believe in God," remember that an integral part of belief is obedience. Also consider the question: At some point doesn't intentional neglect morph into intentional rejection? Take the short journey through these pages and learn what God's written word teaches us about a persevering relationship with Him as we travel through life toward the goal of sanctification and eternity in the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Описание: The author, who has himself experienced clinical depression, explains how we can care for and help those who are mentally unwell-with compassion and gentleness.
The essential idea of this book is to assist us to be problem solvers and peacemakers in our relationships as Christians. When difficult situations and people disrupt the mission and culture of an organization, group or personal relationships we need to create guard rails to protect the integrity of the identity of who we are. All of us are capable of being difficult and human. The goal is to grow from who we are to who we want to be.
