Christian Medicine & Pain

The Etiology & Treatment of Suffering for All Who Call Upon the Name of Jesus

By: Christopher Kolker M.D.

Even for devout Christians who deal with pain, life can still be a struggle. Many ask, “Isn’t God supposed to help me?” Many come to doubt their faith because of how they physically feel. This book answers two questions: First, how do we, as Christians, respond spiritually to chronic pain? And then, what is our response to treat that pain? By putting our faith in the center of any treatment plan, one can use the tools around them to alleviate much of their pain. By combining the realm of God’s spiritual gifts with the best science can offer, a comprehensive treatment plan for pain can bring both understanding and relief. A better tomorrow can be had.

To Kill A Witch

Holy Warriors Book 1

By: Christopher Patterson

Charged with serving God as a Holy Warrior...blessing or curse? Three warriors hear the Lord's call, a calling to fight evil and the Devil's minions...to subdue all the monsters people believe aren't real. Evil poisons the land. Thaddeus can smell its very presence. He has been fighting the forces of evil for so long, it is like a second nature to him. Now, he--along with his companions, Asaf and Gunnar--has been called to England, in the midst of post-Norman conquest turmoil. Something, or someone, powerful has infiltrated Norman nobility as King William II--William Rufus--struggles to subdue the conquered Anglo-Saxon people, appease his own Norman citizens, and deal with his brother Robert--still in France. And those who are the victims of this poison? The common people. The God-fearing, hard-working, law-abiding people of this new, unified England, whether Saxon, Norman, Danish, or Welsh. All the while, talk of unrest in the Holy Land consumes the minds of holy men and adventure seekers alike. Thaddeus must race to stop the spread of evil in a fragmented land, while struggling with his own inner turmoil and conflicts. Will evil win the day...or can the Holy Warriors stop its poisonous spread?

The Dharma Revelation

By: Christopher Halt

When Daniel Sheppard entered the priesthood, he thought he finally found the peace he had sought his entire life. His thirst for knowledge and his desire to question everything sometimes ruffled feathers within the church, but his passion and inspiration stimulated his parishioners. His peace became short lived when he uncovered a conspiracy within the church. Daniel was resistant to become swept into these events, focusing instead on his work in the church. It wasn't until a curious child came into his life that he began to question everything. Going against the will of the Archbishop, Daniel joined Isis-a group of religious scholars. Together they sought answers--they sought a Golden Thread; a commonality which linked all religions together. Along the way, they discovered that their spiritual progression was tied to their overlapping beliefs. But Daniel would never have expected this new path to have led him toward one of the most amazing and wondrous spiritual revelations of the modern era.

The Sacred Flame of Love

Methodism and Society in Nineteenth-century Georgia

By: Christopher H. Owen

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Sacred Flame of Love

Methodism and Society in Nineteenth-century Georgia

By: Christopher H. Owen

Attempting to restore subtlety and nuance to the study of southern religion, The Sacred Flame of Love ranges across the entire nineteenth century to chronicle the evolution of the institutions, theology, and social attitudes of Georgia Methodists in light of such phenomena, trends, and events as slavery, class prejudice, republicanism, population growth, economic development, sectional politics, war, emancipation, and urban growth. In connecting Methodist history with the larger social transformation of nineteenth-century Georgia, Christopher H. Owen uncovers a story of considerable complexity and variety. Because Georgia Methodists included people from every social class, few generalizations apply properly to all of them. For many years they were loosely united by common adherence to the ideals of Wesleyan evangelicalism, but economic and political developments would gradually accentuate Methodist social divisions and weaken even this bond. Indeed, deviating far from the conception of unchanging and asocial southern religion often held by scholars, Owen sees both church and society undergoing enormous change in the nineteenth century.

A Vanished World

Medieval Spain's Golden Age of Enlightenment

A Vanished World

Medieval Spain's Golden Age of Enlightenment

By: Christopher Lowney

In a world troubled by religious strife and division, Chris Lowney's vividly written book offers a hopeful historical reminder: Muslims, Christians, and Jews once lived together in Spain, creating a centuries-long flowering of commerce, culture, art, and architecture. In 711, a ragtag army of Muslim North Africans conquered Christian Spain and launched Western Europe's first Islamic state. In 1492, Ferdinand and Isabella vanquished Spain's last Muslim kingdom, forced Jews to convert or emigrate, and dispatched Christopher Columbus to the New World. In the years between, Spain's Muslims, Christians, and Jews forged a golden age for each faith and distanced Spain from a Europe mired in the Dark Ages. Medieval Spain's pioneering innovations touched every dimension of Western life: Spaniards introduced Europeans to paper manufacture and to the Hindu-Arabic numerals that supplanted the Roman numeral system. Spain's farmers adopted irrigation technology from the Near East to nurture Europe's first crops of citrus and cotton. Spain's religious scholars authored works that still profoundly influence their respective faiths, from the masterpiece of the Jewish kabbalah to the meditations of Sufism's "greatest master" to the eloquent arguments of Maimonides that humans can successfully marry religious faith and reasoned philosophical inquiry. No less astonishing than medieval Spain's wide-ranging accomplishments was the simple fact its Muslims, Christians, and Jews often managed to live and work side by side, bestowing tolerance and freedom of worship on the religious minorities in their midst. A Vanished World chronicles this impossibly panoramic sweep of human history and achievement, encompassing both the agony of jihad, Crusades, and Inquisition, and the glory of a multicultural civilization that forever changed the West. One gnarled root of today's religious animosities stretches back to medieval Spain, but so does a more nourishing root of much modern religious wisdom.

A Plague on Both Their Houses

Liberal vs. Conservative Christians and the Divorce of the Episcopal Church USA

By: Christopher Craig Brittain

Christopher Craig Brittain offers a wide-ranging examination of specific events within The Episcopal Church (TEC) by drawing upon an analysis of theological debates within the church, field interviews in church congregations, and sociological literature on church conflict. The discussion demonstrates that interpretations describing the situation in TEC as a culture war between liberals and conservatives are deeply flawed. Moreover, the book shows that the splits that are occurring within the national church are not so much schisms in the technical sociological sense, but are more accurately described as a familial divorce, with all the ongoing messy entwinement that this term evokes. The interpretation of the dispute offered by the book also counters prominent accounts offered by leaders within The Episcopal Church. The Presiding Bishop, Katharine Jefferts-Schori, has portrayed some opponents of her theological positions and her approach to ethical issues as being 'fundamentalist', while other 'Progressives' liken their opponents to the Tea Party movement.

From the Sayings to the Gospels

By: Christopher Tuckett

The essays by Christopher Tuckett collected in this volume represent a number of studies, published over a period of 30 years, seeking to throw light on the way in which Jesus traditions were developed and used in early Christianity. Many of the essays are concerned in one way or another with the Sayings Source "Q", discussing its existence, its possible pre-history, and key features of the material it contains. Further essays look at Jesus traditions in Paul and in the Gospel of Thomas. In a final section the author focuses on the individual synoptic gospels, with a number of studies concerned with Christology, especially the use of the term "Son of Man". These essays show that early Christian traditions about Jesus can provide valuable information not only about Jesus but also about how early Christians used these traditions to relate to their own situations and contexts.

Gef!

The Strange Tale of an Extra-Special Talking Mongoose

By: Christopher Josiffe

An exhaustive investigation of the case of Gef, a “talking mongoose” or “man-weasel,” who appeared to a family living on the Isle of Man. “I am the fifth dimension! I am the eighth wonder of the world!” During the mid-1930s, British and overseas newspapers were full of incredible stories about Gef, a “talking mongoose” or “man-weasel” who had allegedly appeared in the home of the Irvings, a farming family in a remote district of the Isle of Man. The creature was said to speak in several languages, to sing, to steal objects from nearby farms, and to eavesdrop on local people. Despite written reports, magazine articles and books, several photographs, fur samples and paw prints, voluminous correspondence, and signed eyewitness statements, there is still no consensus as to what was really happening to the Irving family. Was it a hoax? An extreme case of folie à plusieurs? A poltergeist? The possession of an animal by an evil spirit? Now you can read all the evidence and decide for yourself. Seven years' research and interviews, photographs (many previously unseen), interviews with surviving witnesses, visits to the site—all are presented in this book, the first examination of the case for seventy years. In the words of its mischievous, enigmatic subject, “If you knew what I know, you'd know a hell of a lot!

International Management

Explorations Across Cultures

By: Dr Elizabeth Christopher

Winner of the Management and Leadership Textbook category at the CMI Management Book of the Year Awards 2013/14, International Management explores management opportunities in encounters across the world between national, organizational, political, professional and social cultures. It is soundly based theoretically and supported with real-life international examples from contemporary events and situations, exploring contemporary and historical material to provide insights for today's managers who find themselves dealing with diversity and difference. From a historical perspective and a uniquely cross-disciplinary approach, Elizabeth Christopher identifies the major leadership styles that continue to characterise people across regions, nations, communities and organisations, within groups and as individuals. International Management is a practical and comprehensive textbook for successful negotiation in a world rich not only in cultural diversity but also in convergence. It also covers the ethical, moral and environmental ramifications of business today and the corporate leaders who are learning to manage their businesses across nations and continents, not only profitably but in ways that contribute to societies overall through economic, environmental and social action. International Management is an indispensable guide for students and practitioners to key issues of cross-cultural management, suitable to accompany online or private studies, or a teaching unit within professional and university graduate studies of international management. Online supporting resources for this book include lecture slides and notes for academics.

The Methuen Drama Book of New American Plays

Stunning; The Road Weeps, the Well Runs Dry; Pullman, WA; Hurt Village; Dying City; The Big Meal

By: David Adjmi,Marcus Gardley,Young Jean Lee,Katori Hall,Christopher Shinn,Dan LeFranc

The Methuen Drama Book of New American Plays is an anthology of six outstanding plays from some of the most exciting playwrights currently receiving critical acclaim in the States. It showcases work produced at a number of the leading theatres during the last decade and charts something of the extraordinary range of current playwriting in America. It will be invaluable not only to readers and theatergoers in the U.S., but to those around the world seeking out new American plays and an insight into how U.S. playwrights are engaging with their current social and political environment. There is a rich collection of distinctive, diverse voices at work in the contemporary American theatre and this brings together six of the best, with work by David Adjmi, Marcus Gardley, Young Jean Lee, Katori Hall, Christopher Shinn and Dan LeFranc. The featured plays range from the intimate to the epic, the personal to the national and taken together explore a variety of cultural perspectives on life in America. The first play, David Adjmi's Stunning, is an excavation of ruptured identity set in modern day Midwood, Brooklyn, in the heart of the insular Syrian-Jewish community; Marcus Gardley's lyrical epic The Road Weeps, The Well Runs Dry deals with the migration of Black Seminoles, is set in mid-1800s Oklahoma and speaks directly to modern spirituality, relocation and cultural history; Young Jean Lee's Pullman, WA deals with self-hatred and the self-help culture in her formally inventive three-character play; Katori Hall's Hurt Village uses the real housing project of "Hurt Village" as a potent allegory for urban neglect set against the backdrop of the Iraq war; Christopher Shinn's Dying City melds the personal and political in a theatrical crucible that cracks open our response to 9/11 and Abu Graib, and finally Dan LeFranc's The Big Meal, an inter-generational play spanning eighty years, is set in the mid-west in a generic restaurant and considers family legacy and how some of the smallest events in life turn out to be the most significant.

Famous People Speak About Jesus

A Compendium of Expressions of Praise & Reverence

By: Christopher H.K. Persaud

WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM? Jesus posed the question to His disciples a short time before he was unfairly accused, and wrongfully condemned to death after being subjected to a mockery of a legal trial...before he was horrendously abused and killed atop a wooden cross. “And who do you say that I am?” Peter, the disciple who was to initiate and lead the astounding movement we know today as Christianity answered, “You are the Son of the living God”...to which Jesus replied, “Peter, you are the rock upon which I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it!” Jesus’ question reverberates throughout history, as we know it and, directly and indirectly, people have answered, and continue to respond to this most poignant of inquiries. Let us endeavor, in this regard, to peer into the thoughts of over a thousand notable men and women from the first century following Christ’s life and times to the present age. Let us read what monarchs, presidents, statesmen, philosophers, scientists, theologians, writers, philantrophists, poets, composers, singers, songwriters, actors, actresses, television talk-show hosts, athletes, and Christian martyrs throughout history among others, and even a dictator or two and a few infamous personalities, have had to say about this mesmerizing young rabbi who wandered the Judean hills over two thousand years ago.
