Anne Hayward spends several months each year walking to sacred sites in Britain and beyond, now having covered many thousands of miles. Her third book recounting these pilgrimage walks looks in more detail at the history of 40+ sites she has visited in Wales or in places with a strong connection to it. In roughly chronological order, the book follows the history of Christianity in the country, discussing topics as varied as Roman roads, early medieval bell-founding, the development of Quaker graveyards, and the reinvention of an early saint in contemporary literature. It tells the remarkable story of religious faith in Wales, not only from the later Roman period and the Age of the Saints, but also in later times and into our own day, asking whether anywhere else has packed quite so much interest into so small a nation.

When Jesus told Nicodemus that he must be 'born of the Spirit' He affirmed human sexuality as an appropriate metaphor for understanding the faith. Being 'born again' is one of the foundational concepts of Christianity, yet how many of us have ever heard a 'birds and bees' talk, expanding on how spiritual reproduction works?Traditionally, the church seems to avoid deep and open dialogue about sexuality, as a result Christians can find themselves poorly defended against pervasive secular trends, and ill-equipped to give compelling reasons for maintaining sexual standards. Discovering The Gospel In Our Sexuality reveals the faith affirming and purposeful nature of our sexuality. The cycle-of-life is not a series of random physical processes that must be negotiated as best we can; instead, human sexuality is a divinely crafted allegory that proclaims a profound message, beautifully articulating God's restorative plan for humanity.

In modern times, the phrase "till death do us part" transcends its religious origins and is now often included in wedding vows as a customary expression of commitment and endurance in marriages. Many couples, regardless of their religious beliefs or practices, choose to include this phrase in their wedding ceremonies as a symbol of their intent to maintain a lifelong commitment to one another. The inclusion of this phrase can also serve as a reminder of the seriousness, and depth, of the commitment being made; even when divorce is legally recognized as an option. It is also important to note that though the inclusion of the phrase "till death do us part" in wedding ceremonies does not necessarily reflect a strict adherence to the religious beliefs or doctrines associated with it, it does, however, represent a deeper commitment/dedication to the lifelong union between two individuals. The biblical principle of "until death do us part" emphasizes the solemnity and permanence of the marital bond. Couples may express their intention to remain faithful and committed to one another throughout their lives, regardless of the challenges and obstacles they may face. The phrase signifies a promise to uphold the marriage covenant until death separates them. It reflects the understanding that marriage is a sacred and enduring bond that requires love, sacrifice, and ongoing dedication. This book guides couples in their keeping of those sacred vows through enlightened direction stemming from years of marriage conferences - filled and led with God's wisdom. The reader will receive counsel in everything from recognizing who they are and what they will be bringing to the union; building a marriage after the ceremony; the significance of communication; and the sacrifices needed to be made in order to maintain and grow a healthy marital relationship.

Is it Really the End? This Letter to the author's son outlines the seven year tribulation and roughly when the rapture of the blameless occurs. It shows exactly where we are on the timeline - and gives substantial insight as to different events that will unfold between September 2023 to 2030 - and beyond. But it's written in as easily understood fashion for those who aren't as familiar with the Bible. This brief book, though packed with information, provides a solid overview of the truth that lies ahead. Many, if not most people, will not acknowledge that we are in the final seven years before Jesus Christ returns to reign on the earth. But if these last seven years haven't begun by the end of 2023, they surely will by the end of 2024. Paula Cross has been studying the Bible closely, with determination to strictly know the truth, constantly seeking God on her every point of interpretation, having zero bias except that it's the truth. Consequently, Paula demonstrate that Jesus will be back with the Millenial Reign of Christ beginning in 2031. And her passion is to teach and warn as many people as possible. Ironically, Paula has a son, named Timothy, and he has a grandmother, named Lois, just like the Apostle Paul had his spiritual son, Timothy, who had a grandmother, Lois, in the Bible. This was't planned. Timothy's father named him. Later, when Paula learned of the irony of their names, she knew her Timothy would be one of her prodeges. The problem is he has literally and painfully been lost in the wilderness for years. In fact, he's been so out of her reach that she hasn't been able to talk to him like she can her other children. So that is why this letter was written to him. However, it's not meant for her Timothy alone! It is meant for anyone and everyone who wants to know what is going on in the world. This book is a simple but thorough explanation and overview of the entire seven year tribulations as revealed in the Bible. It's a summarized breakdown of how the final 7 years before Christ comes back will unfold. It also explains her unique, never before taught perspective as to WHEN the final three Feasts of the Lord will be fulfilled. And her theory aligns perfectly with her final seven year outline. This letter further explains how the rapture is connected to the Feast of Atonement. And it exposes the truth that the 2023 "Revelation 12 Sign" as a Counterfeit, along with when and why other certain events transpire, including the timeframe that the rapture and the Great Tribulation occur. And this letter even explains WHY these seven years of tribulation have to transpire in the first place - as well the imperative necessity and how to be safe throughout it all!

Midlife is a season of challenge and change-professionally, relationally, physically, and spiritually. On our better days, we experience a sense of growing clarity and satisfaction about who we are. We might even be coming to terms with our limitations and vulnerabilities, letting go of some dreams and creating new ones. But many days, we are overwhelmed and exhausted by the intense transitions of this season, leaving us feeling off-balance and insecure. And these challenges reverberate through our marriages, making us wonder how we're going to survive. Though many assume that ''midlife'' is synonymous with ''crisis,'' Dorothy Littell Greco reminds us that it doesn't have to be that way. The demands of midlife actually force us to adjust and adapt, providing new opportunities for discovery and growth within our marriages. With vulnerability and insight, Marriage in the Middle will inspire and encourage you to invest in your relationship with your spouse, enabling you both to thrive as you face the challenges and changes of this era together.

It's time to talk back. The generation born into evangelical purity culture has grown up, and many have started families of their own. But as time goes on, it's becoming more evident that many still struggle with purity culture's complicated legacy-its idolization of virginity, its mixed messages about modesty and lust, and its promise of a healthy marriage and great sex for those who follow the rules. In Talking Back to Purity Culture, Rachel Joy Welcher reviews the movement carefully, examining its teachings through the lens of Scripture. Compassionate, faithful, and wise, she charts a path forward for Christians in the ongoing debates about sexuality-one that rejects legalism and license alike, steering us back instead to the good news of Jesus. It's time to talk back to purity culture-and this book is ready to jump-start the conversation.

Where do I start? What do I look for? How do I progress? How do I know when I should stop? These questions are among the most common that have been asked regarding counseling. The thought that many have regarding counseling is that they are unqualified and need to appeal to someone they consider an expert. The appeal is better made to the Creator.From the very beginning of the Bible, we see God's interaction with people and the process that He took to deal with the issues people encounter in this life. In "Learning to live the Gospel", Dr. Carter lays out God's counseling process in a direct way that we can follow. This book also explores a deep understanding of the composition of man so that the counselor can see men as God sees them. In all of this, however, Dr. Carter reminds us that there is only one true Counselor, and it is our job to direct people to Him and His counsel.God's Word gives us all things that pertain to life and godliness. You don't have to know everything to lead others to the One who does. This book will help you learn how to do just that.

On First Principles is the most important surviving text written by third-century Church father, Origen. Origen wrote in a time when fundamental doctrines had not yet been fully articulated by the Church, and contributed to the very formation of Christianity.

In the gospel of John, the writer ends the story by stating the purpose of writing the Gospel. This purpose is recorded in verses 30 and 31 of chapter 20.Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.Based on this ending, it stands to reason that for even the other Bible stories which are included in scripture, many details have been left out because the respective writers can say so much and no more. Have you ever wondered what details might have been left out of the Christmas narrative as we know them? It is that kind of curiosity which sparked the imaginative thoughts that brought these two Christmas musicals together.The characters were normal human beings with emotions. If you think of it, Joseph would have been jealous and angry when he thought that Mary was unfaithful to him. That kind of emotion might have led to a verbal showdown between the two until the angel appeared to Joseph directly. In turn, Mary must have been pretty distraught that Joseph kept accusing her wrongly and that he continued to question her integrity. Why was he going to break off the engagement? Did he not trust and have confidence in the innocent virgin? Both Mary and Joseph would have had parents too, so how did they come into the picture? What were their immediate thoughts when news of the miracle pregnancy unfolded? There might have been uncertainty and confusion, even among the people of God. One may even assume that there may have been gossips in that society who, like some persons in this day and age, just enjoyed embellishing stories which sounded juicy.At the other end of the spectrum, one wonders what the atmosphere may have been like in the palace of Herod. Was it all anger and jealousy which prevailed, or did the raw human emotions of nervousness and anxiety come to the fore?A Dream Come True and Believe Me, I Believe depicts the Christmas narrative fully as described in the Bible. However, some of these thoughts and questions come out very clearly during the plot. In a combination of poetry and drama, music and dance, the story with the added imaginative scenes unfolds with all these elements interwoven into one continuous narrative. The overall Christian message comes out clearly and very strongly toward the end of each musical, and while the plots may differ, they both carry the underlying theme of evangelism as persons are encouraged to believe in this Jesus and give their lives to Him.

The greatest expression of the New Testament church, as outlined in the book of Ephesians, is the army. I believe the army dimension is higher than the bride, the body, or the city. The army allows us to see the fulfillment of God's promises to His bride.This book is about taking back what the enemy has stolen and returning to Zion. For that to happen, we need believers trained in covert operations. We need people that know how to operate in secular Babylon.This manuscript is about raising prophetic people who can infiltrate the secular world for the kingdom's sake. Kingdom people are not only those who sing Christian songs and speak in tongues, but it is people who know how to represent the kingdom in the world.

As individuals, we mature and progress in our relationship with God. We also mature and progress in our understanding and application of God's Word. Our world, nation and community need the message of Jesus' Gospel teachings of grace through tolerance more than ever. There is a need for wise and effective teachers and witnesses of those teachings. Besides spiritual leadership there is a need for loving tolerance of people with different beliefs and lifestyles. Just as Jesus modeled such behavior towards those he personally encountered, we as his believers need to model such a lifestyle. May we always be reminded of the great admonition from Billy Graham, "It's the Holy Spirit's job to convict, God's job to judge, and my job to love." The believer's academic understanding of scripture has little meaning unless there is day-to-day application of our faith knowledge. May God forgive us when we fail to be the peacemakers in our communities. May his grace through tolerance enable us to become his voice and his actions in our walk with him.

What counselors presuppose will ultimately dictate their philosophy and methodology of counseling. Historical biblical counselors presuppose only that which the Bible affirms. In Presuppositions of Biblical Counseling, Lou Priolo unpacks twelve presuppositions (originally postulated by Jay E. Adams) to help readers understand what sets biblical counseling apart from other theories (really, theologies) of counseling. It will also help those who are in counseling (or seeking counseling) determine if the counselors from whom they are seeking help are truly biblical.

The characters discover that everyone is special and unique in their own way. As they meet new friends they understand what differences made them special.
