Excellent book to encourage women, especially, to KNOW God in order to live our lives as He has created us to do. Her explanation of Mary and Martha makes so much sense, and is so different than any I have ever read. Both Mary and Martha encourage us as women to intimately know Jesus, and that relationship will change everything we do. ( ) no reviews | add a review
In Praise of When Life and Beliefs Collide.Sooner or later, life's difficulties bring every Christian woman to God's doorstep with questions too personal to ignore. "Why does God let me go through such painful circumstances?" "Why does he seem indifferent to my prayers?" We're tired of spiritual pie in the sky. We want authentic, God-as-he-really-is faith--the kind that holds us together when our world is falling apart and equips us to offer strength and hope to others.When Life and Beliefs Collide raises a long-overdue call for us to think seriously about what we believe about God. With passion, brilliance, and eloquence, Carolyn Custis James weaves stories of contemporary women with episodes from the life of Mary of Bethany to illustrate the practical benefits of knowing God deeply. Examining the misperceptions and abuses that discourage women from pursuing a deeper understanding of God, this insightful book demonstrates how practical and down to earth knowing God can be."This outstanding book offers the best demonstration that everyone needs theology, the best expository account of Mary and Martha, and the best trajectory for women's ministry in modern North America that I have yet read." --James I. Packer"Thoughtful, scholarly, and motivating . . . should inspire and encourage women for years to come." --Joni Eareckson Tada"You will not think the same way, nor hopefully be the same, after reading this thought-provoking book." --Vonette Zachary Bright". . . affirms women in their calling, chosen-ness, and gifting, and makes us know we are cherished and planned for." --Jill Briscoe No library descriptions found. |
