Offers a faithful, constructive way to deal with dissent What happens when we approach disagreement not as a problem to solve but as an opportunity to practice Christian virtue? In this book James Calvin Davis reclaims the biblical concept of forbearance to develop a theological ethic for faithful disagreement. Pointing to Ephesians and Colossians, in which Paul challenged his readers to "bear with each other" in spite of differences, Davis draws out a theologically grounded practice in which Christians work hard to maintain unity while still taking seriously matters on which they disagree. The practice of forbearance, Davis argues, offers Christians a dignified, graceful, and constructive way to deal with conflict. Forbearance can also strengthen the church's public witness, offering an antidote to the pervasive divisiveness present in contemporary culture.

God is calling his church forth to take position as mighty warriors. We are chosen for battle and born to conquer. God has commanded his army to stand fast in the liberty by which Christ has made us free. We are not to be again entangled with a yoke of bondage. God has called you to the kingdom as such time as this to terrify the powers of darkness. We are ordered to go into the enemies camp the harvest is right. The trees are full, see them fall to the ground, they are being devour by the enemy. Where are the laborers? The harvest is ripe but the laborers are few. God has commanded us to go into the highways and compel men to come. Jesus said Son of man is come to seek and save that which was lost. Those who are well need not a physician but those who are sick. Jesus said to the father as you have sent me into the world I also have sent them into the world and have given them the authority to bind and loose on earth and in heaven. We are commanded to go into the enemy territory to bind the evil forces and loose souls into the kingdom of God. Jesus said Except a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Go ye therefore and teach all nations baptizing them in the name of the father and the son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things, that whatsoever I command you to teach them to become disciple of Christ. Unless a man is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God, unless he is born of the water and the Holy Spirit he shall not enter into the kingdom of God.

In this book you will find my personal experiences along with some strategies and teachings I have accumulated and practice through self-application when I was personally going through a difficult period of adolescence not understanding the purpose of the verbal abuse; I always focus on God as He is the most consistent person I personally ever had in my life. Speaking on the positive things in life as much as the negative consumes the world the way God instructs us to do. I love the kingdom of God and spreading God’s word which led me to write this book to help as many individuals as possible to understand how to have access to God and God’s authority. I believe the way of the world has a lot to do with the spiritually blind having no idea what being obedient to God looks like or do not understand who, what, and where to start from about God’s foundation. God forgives and forgets with genuine intent unlike what human nature accustom to. God only cares about your works through the spirit of your heart.

How can celebrating the “holy days” of American culture help us to understand what it means to be both Christian and American? In timely essays on Super Bowl Sunday, Mother’s Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, and other holidays of the secular calendar, James Calvin Davis explores the wisdom that Christian tradition brings to our sense of American identity, as well as the ways in which American culture might prompt us to discern the imperatives of faith in new ways. Rather than demonizing culture or naively baptizing it, Davis models a bidirectional mode of reflection, where faith convictions and cultural values converse with and critique one another. Focusing on topics like politics, race, parenting, music, and sports, these essays remind us that culture is as much human accomplishment and gift as it is a challenge to Christian values, and there is insight to be discovered in a theologically astute investment in America’s “holy days.”

Choosing to be a Trailblazer will shape your life with adventure. . . . Follow the path that Micah has created for you." - Annie F. Downs, New York Times bestselling author of That Sounds Fun Are you ready to live a life like no one else? We all want our lives to count for something. We desperately want to know if we matter, what our purpose is, and if it's ok to chase a dream bigger than ourselves. In Trailblazers, using biblical characters and his own life experiences, pastor Micah E. Davis shows how a life that is built on a solid foundation of faith can lead us to blaze a new trail . . . a unique one God has purposed for us. And the best part is you don't have to wait for anyone else--you can start right now! In his debut book, Micah takes us on a fresh, honest, and bold journey, exploring such questions as: What is my purpose and how do I know it's what God wants for me? What do I need to let go of to pursue the calling God has placed on my life? Does God have more in store for me than this? Am I really allowed to go after it? Can God use a flawed and broken person like me to impact the Kingdom? And more! At the heart of a Trailblazer lies a supernatural courage, strength, and faith to go first. Come alongside Micah to discover what it truly means to live out the way of a Trailblazer and to live a life that matters.
These books of the Bible, despite their differences, all treat the phenomenon of what it means to live wisely before God. In this readable commentary, Ellen Davis points out that the writers of these books considered wisdom--and the fruits of wisdom, a well-ordered life and a peaceful mind--to be within the grasp of anyone wholeheartedly desiring it. Books in the Westminster Bible Companion series assist laity in their study of the Bible as a guide to Christian faith and practice. Each volume explains the biblical book in its original historical context and explores its significance for faithful living today. These books are ideal for individual study and for Bible study classes and groups.
Shame is everywhere. Whether it's related to relationships, body image, work difficulties, or a secret sin, we all experience shame at some point in our lives. While shame can manifest itself in different ways—fear, regret, and anger—it ultimately points us to our most fundamental need as human beings: redemption. Shame never disappears in solitude, and Heather Davis Nelson invites us to not only be healed of our own shame but also be a part of healing for others. She shines the life-giving light of the gospel on the things that leave us feeling worthless and rejected, giving us courage us to walk out of shame's shadows and offering hope for our bondage to brokenness. Through the gospel, we discover the only real and lasting antidote to shame: exchanging our shame for the righteousness of Christ alongside others on this same journey.
There has been an explosion of interest in classical Christian spirituality over the past 50 years. While a great deal of work has been done on the history of Christian spirituality, there has been no full-scale theological and pastoral treatment of Christian spiritual life since before the Second Vatican Council. Beloved Dust takes a realistic, contemporary view of human being as entirely physical (dust) and shows it immersed in three great tides of the Holy Spirit, the traditional threefold rhythm of conversion, transfiguration, and glory. What is unique about Robert Hughes's approach is the effort to root spiritual theology in the doctrine of the Spirit, an outgrowth of the renewed interest in the Trinity among both Catholics (Karl Rahner) and Protestants (Robert Jenson). Also striking is Hughes's emphasis on "ordinary life". Here as a married Episcopal priest/theologian who brings a distinctly "Protestant" perspective to a traditionally "Catholic" enterprise for so long the preserve of celibate priests. What he achieves is a new presentation of the traditional teaching in the light of contemporary knowledge and practice.

Why is the Golden Rule so central in almost every culture and religion? What is it that drives human beings to do good to others? Are altruism, compassion, and forgiveness natural forms of human behavior, or do they have to be learned and practiced in the neural context of our primal instincts for survival and self-defense? These are some of the questions that lie behind the study of Compassionate Love amongst people of color. Davis explores the patterns and contours of “other-love,” which he defines as a selfless regard for the well-being of others. He also examines the basis for distinctive modes of compassionate behavior enriched by “ebony grace” — a theological attribution for people of African descent. This text focuses especially on the historical, cultural, and religious heritage that inspires and empowers such attitudes, in spite of constant encounters with systemic negation, social alienation, and unrelenting racism. How is it that Black families in the home, school, and church still support, sustain, and succeed in the practice of unyielding love-in-compassion? That is the magic and mystery within contemporary Black cultural norms and moral values. This text is a powerful attempt to contribute to the debate on Christian altruism.
IN A WORLD that is full of technology and modern advances in everything from medicine to solar fusion, it is so interesting that the most common issues of life seem to still have man confused and with no concrete answers: from the common cold to how to get along with each other. Mankind has been involved in some type of war or interpersonal conflict since the beginning of time: from Cain and Abel, to Rome’s desire to conquer the world, to Hitler’s attempt to control Europe. Some attempts at control have involved masses and some have involved just two. The most fundamental relations are between a man and a woman and the products of their union: mothers and fathers and their relationship to their children. We find ourselves in the twenty-first century still trying to explore and master the elements that make a relationship move without conflict. We are still trying to discover the key to making a relationship work and without emotional or psychological injuries to anyone. As we grow and mature, we are ever aware of the difference in the concepts and attitude displayed by both men and women. We are more conscious of the differences and attempt to adjust our behavior to accommodate the needs of others. Women are from a different DNA makeup and make different needs and priorities. Because of our lack of understanding of these needs, we inflict needless pain and discomfort on each other. We must open our hearts to each other so that we can operate, in an environment that promotes love, understanding, and well doing to others. This collection of poetry addresses some of my observations in regard to what I think women desire from men. They need to feel secure, wanted, and loved. There is no perfect relationship and no perfect man or woman. However, there is a balance that can be reached that will allow us to better understand each other.

This book, The Miracle Kit behind the Power of Prayer, offers an analysis of a mystic ancient form of prayer that manipulates subtle cosmic energies through ancient techniques of yoga science and religious rituals that are not understood in today’s materialistic modern science. The mystic prayer technique that this book is advocating uses the spoken word, along with positive imagination and visualization to invoke and harness this power of cosmic energies or pranas. This book goes into detail on the ancient science for manipulating the five major pranas that flow through our subtle bodies and gross physical body. The technique also uses pranayama techniques, an ancient method of breath control that allows man to control the flow of prana that enters and exits the body’s psychic centers (Chakras). The prayer technique also incorporates mudra yoga that assists the “prayer practitioner” in sealing and redirecting pranas so that they can be impregnated with a mind substance that has the purpose and direction of the intended target.
A profound, challenging, wide-ranging book, back in print for a new generation "Inwardness and Existence accomplishes what no book before or after has even approximated: it demonstrates with great lucidity and insight the shared philosophical project that animates psychoanalysis, Marxism, existentialism, and Hegelian dialectics. Davis roots the reader in the enterprise of questioning what is given and probing beyond what is safe in order to demonstrate that psychoanalytic inquiry, Marxist politics, existential reflection, and dialectical connection all move within the same orbit. No one who reads it will ever think about existence itself in the same way again. Davis's landmark work will profoundly transform anyone who reads it."--Todd McGowan, author of The Real Gaze: Film Theory after Lacan
