Bøker av Christopher Kennedy

"An exploration of memory, mourning, and humanity's precarious relationship to the Anthropocene, Christopher Kennedy's The Strange God Who Makes Us documents our fragile relationship with time and the imperfect ways in which we document our lives. These prose poems written by one of the form's masters, serve both as attempts to preserve and honor the past and as a call to action to ensure an inhabitable planet for future generations"--

Christ's words at his crucifixion are an important and iconic point in the Bible where He shows grace and love, even while dying on the cross. But, in your life, it can be difficult to find grace in stressful situations. As sinful humans, we act ungraceful when stress, anxiety, and difficult times come around.We could all use more Christlike grace. Study Christ's words on the cross to see how you can have more Christlike grace in your life. Start by understanding what the four dimensions of grace are in the Bible: Common, Saving, Sanctifying, and Sustaining. Then, study seven different quotes from Christ on the cross to see what He teaches in these moments, and how you can apply them to your life. Perfect for group or individual study, each chapter has a Q&A at the end, and the back of the book includes a leader guide.

Does what you believe matter? In our society, some will say, "Not really. It doesn't matter what you believe as long as you believe something, or as long as you're sincere." The Christian faith says something different. It says what you believe matters. Doctrine matters. Truth matters. What you believe determines your actions and, of utmost concern for Christians, your eternal destination. This book gives an overview of what Christians have believed for a long, long time and why those truths matter for us today. The book follows the structure of an ancient confession of faith, the Apostles' Creed. The teachings of Christianity speak an enduring word to us, a word that often defies our feelings and transcends our circumstances. The teachings of the faith lift our sights from the here and now to the eternal perspective of what God has done for us and who He has made us to be. Does what you believe matter? Yes, it does. Very much.
