Living a Big Life for a Big God

BIG is Smithâs writing debut and includes his conversion testimony as well as his current mission of ministry as a Christian. But it is primarily written with the novice Christian in mind, giving an encouragement to live the Christian life to its fullest potential. In short, to live a small life with small dreams would be an insult to our great BIG God.

The author does an excellent job outlining the major interest people have about faith, finances, healing, and general every-day-living. He successfully challenges the âstatus quoâ mindset of average thinking and pushes the reader to dream bigger.

My favorite parts to read were of his real-life accounts and Smith ended his book on a high note. His experience in Rwanda with the starving children was a game-changer for him â and it translated on paper easily to me. Why canât we change the world? Why do we continue to be OK with the small Christian life? God is so much bigger than we could ever imagine.

Excellent resource for the new believer.

An excellent resource for the new believer and a good reminder for the more mature believers. Pastor Jerod reminds us of things that we sometimes in our busy lives overlook, stray away from, or just forget. Jerod writes "In the midst of every problem that comes against you, let your first thoughts be that God is bigger than anything you'll ever face."

"BIG" has eight chapters dealing with topics ranging from God is bigger than your past to God is bigger than your money, but when Jerod Smith gets to the chapters on pain and sickness he really hits his stride. His writing in these chapters especially is excellent and very passionate.

I look forward to future books by Jerod Smith and do highly recommend this one.

Doubting God's sovereignty today?

An excellent read for anyone doubting Gods power in today's world. In our modern society we seem to think that the powerful God of the bible was limited to that time in history. This book reminds the reader the God is just as powerful today as he was then! Not only does Jerod Smith remind you, but he backs this with biblical facts and twenty-first century examples.

Must Read

This is a must read book. Jerod reminds us that God is bigger than anything we can imagine. I really liked the chapters on sickness and healing. It reminds us that no matter what doctors say God is bigger than our sickness and he has the final say. Great book. Very well written.

Title: The Gospel of Judas

Subtitle: The Man, His History, His Story

Author: Joseph B. Lumpkin

Narrator: Dennis Logan

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 20 mins

Language: English

Release date: 12-07-17

Publisher: Fifth Estate

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

No discovery since the Dead Sea Scrolls has rocked the Christian world like that of the newly translated Gospel of Judas. The story presented in the short but powerful text reveals a plan in which heavenly ends justified monstrous means. Betrayal became collaboration and murder resembled suicide as Jesus and Judas began a macabre dance into eternity.

Orthodox Christianity has its doctrine, its canon, and its political story, but these are quite different from those exposed in the Gospel of Judas. Imagine Judas, the man all of Christendom has hated for 2,000 years, now portrayed as the chosen one, the martyr, the scapegoat, and the man instructed and appointed by Jesus himself to orchestrate and carry out the greatest treachery of all time.

Come with us as we explore the Gospel of Judas. We will attempt to fill the gaps in the text and the theology. We will compare and contrast the Gospel of Judas with the biblical accounts. We will examine the man, his history, and his story.

The " time" of the wriings makes you question certain ...

The " time" of the wriings makes you question certain aspects. Knowing (a little) about Gnostic views and how they believe the Earth was created makes this Gospel very interesting.

Misleading

When a book is titled The Gospel of Judas, one should not have to wade through an inferior definition of Gnosticism, which takes a third of the book, before even getting to the Gospel of Judas. Ridiculous.

Five Stars

Great item, shipped very well, arrived safely. Thanks

Interesting

I had not heard of this book until recently. I have not finished it yet but I find it thought provoking and may decide to use it as a book for a group I facilitate.

THE BEST BOOK I'VE READ ON THE SUBJECT!

The presentation of information flows logically and holds together from the first page until the last. This book has helped me and will help others too, to more clearly understand gnostic thoughts and how they continue to influence our churches of today.

This book is well worth the time to read.

Mercy is one of God's great gifts to humankind. Now, in 12 lectures by spiritual leader Fr. Dan Crosby, you will explore mercy in Scripture, Catholic Church teaching, and modern culture.

In addition to exploring scriptural passages, you will look at Dives in Misericordia ("Rich in Mercy"), Saint John Paul II's encyclical on mercy. Divine Mercy marked every aspect of his pontificate, and you will see how Pope Francis carries on this legacy.

As you journey through the Gospels, you will see mercy embodied in the Parable of the Prodigal Son, the Beatitudes, and the actions of Jesus. And, perhaps most powerfully, you will reflect on the fullness of Mercy made manifest in Jesus' Death on the Cross, the ultimate expression of forgiveness.

In Mercy: The Heart of Faith, the Reason for Hope, you will explore methods for living a life of forgiveness in our modern world a world that too often seems to lose sight of mercy. In doing so, you will find peace, transformation, and renewal. Experience this life-giving power today.

Title: Being God

Subtitle: Stealing God's Power, Glory, and Kingdom

Author: Terry Stueck

Narrator: Daniel Coker

Format: Unabridged

Length: 4 hrs and 11 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-03-17

Publisher: High Plains Bible Mission

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Exposing man's failure to live under God's ownership.

Even though we acknowledge God as owner of the universe and ourselves, we do not live out that belief in our daily lives. C. S. Lewis and others alluded to God's ownership and acknowledged it, but this is the first work to explore the details and explain its importance and impact in-depth.

The author uses a hundred verses of scripture and his knowledge of the original languages to enlighten and illuminate what first-century Christians knew, but has been lost for centuries and hidden by our own desire to avoid knowing what God really wants from us. He simply wants to be God and have us to be His followers. We tend to own ourselves which makes us our own God in practice.

This book is a refreshing look at God and our relationship with Him. It will open your eyes to the abundant life and how to live in it. The listener can discover the "place of rest" that is the intended level Jesus referred to in the Sermon on the Mount that He encourages us to reach.

This book will change your perspective on God and yourself. The book contains the cause and cure for midlife crisis and burnout. The mystery of God mentioned in Revelation is finally given a plausible understanding. Being God gives the details needed to live the abundant life.

The real question in the Garden of Eden was who the rule-maker would be. Only the owner can make the rules. Adam's changing of the rule was not just a misdemeanor behavior problem, but the felony of Grand Theft Garden, taking over ownership of the Garden and himself.

We still suffer under that original mistake of thinking we own ourselves and everything around us. We still live as though we own and direct our own life ignoring the creator who is the true owner. The author dives deep into the subject of God's ownership revealing the depth of our division with our creator and why we struggle to know and serve God.

Members Reviews:

I No Longer Need to Try to Be in Charge and Control Everything...God is much better at Being God than I could ever be!

Have read the book twice now - once on my own and again with my wife. We have had great conversations based on the principles of God's ownership, His goodness as our Owner, and the truth that we are here for His glory, by His power, and to do our part in His kingdom. It is truly freeing to know He is in charge, and we are but stewards of the gifts He has provided.

Why we need to take a step back and let God lead.

Terry does a great job of explaining what happens, and why, when we try to take the reins from God instead of allowing Him to lead our lives in the way that HE wishes. Another great read from this author.

Title: The Spirituality of Saint Francis of Assisi

Language: English

Release date: 08-22-17

Publisher: Now You Know Media Inc.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

Far from being a relic of the Middle Ages, Franciscan spirituality remains a growing and vital movement worldwide. Its influence has shaped many of the most popular Catholic devotions, from the Stations of the Cross to Eucharistic Adoration.

Now, The Spirituality of Saint Francis of Assisi invites you to learn from the Franciscan tradition of living the Gospel. In this inspiring course, you will look at the spiritual writings of St. Francis and his followers as well as how they put their beliefs into practice. Br. William Short's powerful yet accessible lectures deliver you the heart of the treasures from this "little poor man of Assisi".

In these lectures, you will explore St. Francis' spiritual practices, life of prayer, and meditations on the crucified Christ. You will also reflect on profound questions posed by the Franciscan tradition. Why does Francis consider joy a good defense against the influence of evil? How does the Incarnation of the word relate to creation? What can the Gospel reveal about the "poverty of God"? You will then look at the contributions of St. Clare of Assisi, St. Bonaventure, St. Anthony of Padua, and Bl. John Duns Scotus. Finally, you will explore the modern-day legacy of St. Francis. By exploring the rich Franciscan spiritual tradition, you will encounter Christ at the heart of the world. This is the gift of St. Francis: "the treasure of a poor man".

Critic Reviews:

"Bill Short brings a lifetime of scholarly work combined with a lifetime of applying the principles of the Franciscan Rule of Life to his daily existence. Thus, [his presentations are] shot through with the wit and wisdom." (Margaret Carney, OSF, president emerita, St. Bonaventure University)

Title: "The Bible Says What?"

Subtitle: Dealing with Difficult Scripture Passages

Author: Rev. J. Patrick Mullen STL PhD

Narrator: Rev. J. Patrick Mullen STL PhD

Format: Original Recording

Length: 4 hrs and 49 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-17-17

Publisher: Now You Know Media Inc.

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Publisher's Summary:

You will love this course. Expertly and faithfully taught, this special 12-lecture series promises numerous "aha!" moments. You will learn, laugh, and grow as you enjoy this amazing set of talks in your car or at home. The Scriptures can be the inspired word of God and a puzzle all at the same time. Even for Christians, questions arise about appropriate roles of women as described in the Bible - for example, "Wives be subordinate to your husbands" (Col 3:18) and "women should keep silent in the churches, for they are not allowed to speak" (1 Cor 14:34). Commands such as "slaves, be obedient to your human masters" (Eph 6:5) or "call no one on earth your father" (Matt 23:9) can be challenging. Other perplexing passages appear to portray Jesus in a negative light, for instance in Mark 7:27, when Jesus calls the Syrophoenician woman a dog or when God kills most of humanity in a flood (Gen 6-8).

Some passages elude our understanding because of factors such as the ancient culture of the author, the inexactness of a translation, and centuries of creative interpretation, often from outside the church. Using modern methods, and approaching these sometimes confounding texts forthrightly as both a Scripture scholar and a person of faith, Fr. Patrick Mullen will pull back some of the fog of centuries, culture, language, and translation to reveal the often hidden but still discernable sense of the enduring word of God.

This course will enable you to experience your bible with newfound joy and understanding.

Publisher's Summary:

Embark on a journey through the remarkable life and legacy of Pope John XXIII.

Perhaps no one had such a great influence on the Roman Catholic Church in the 20th century as Pope John XXIII, who was canonized by Pope Francis on April 27, 2014. Born Angelo Roncalli (1881-1963), he rose from humble beginnings to become a passionate advocate for social justice and world peace. His papacy was marked by compassion, charity, and love.

In this course you will join ecclesial expert and Georgetown professor Gerard Mannion in encountering the enduring charisma of Saint John XXIII. In 12 fascinating lectures, you will journey through his inspiring life, his powerful leadership in calling the Second Vatican Council, and his lasting legacy for the world today. John XXIII (r. 1958-1963) enchanted the world with his charismatic papacy that stressed peace and justice. A true shepherd for the people, he captured the hearts of the faithful and championed interreligious dialogue. Facing a world torn apart by war and conflict, he united people around the globe with his message of love and warm teaching style.

All of this would have marked him as a great pope, but his greatest achievement would be the calling of the Second Vatican Council (1962-65), which he called to bring the church "up to date" (aggiornamento). In doing so John XXIII ushered in a process that would forever change the church.

Discover anew the power of this inspiring saint's teachings today.

Publisher's Summary:

How do you understand Grace and sin? How are they spiritually connected?

In the Western church, the understanding of grace, sin, and God's good creation has been shaped by theologians responding to the challenges specific to their times while using the resources of theology, philosophy, and personal religious experience. With the help of Father Brian McDermott, SJ, and this series of fifteen 25-minute lectures, you will be able to address these and other questions as well as gain a deeper understanding of the dynamics of God's grace.

In this program you will explore the ways that God works in our lives to draw us closer to the divine mystery, to forgive our sinfulness in a transformative way, and to liberate us for generous service in the world.

Theologians and great thinkers from the Apostle Paul to St. Thomas Aquinas to contemporary philosophers such as Karl Rahner will all have parts in this journey to fully understanding the concept of God's grace and its role in our lives every day.

This program will help you feel more in touch with your inner grace and help you grapple with the challenging ideas of grace and sin in the world. Fr. McDermott does a remarkable job of opening your mind to the history of past theological debates on these terms while helping you find in your heart what you truly believe.
