A series of devotional commentaries, which allow people to get to grips with each book of the Bible one bite at a time. Phil Moore focuses on key sections of each book. There will be 25 volumes in all. Although the tone is light, the text is full of useful application and backed by substantial scholarship. Hebrews addresses Jews who were in a dangerous position: a wave of persecution had caused many of them to drift back to the Jewish synagogues. The writer warns them that they are turning their backs on the gospel. Having started out with Jesus, they have started to side with the Sanhedrin who crucified Him. The book of James addresses Jews who understood and believed the Christian gospel but were tempted to compromise on lifestyle. James is very practical, spelling out how Jesus shows us a better way of living. Straight to the Heart of Hebrews and James is part of a series of devotional commentaries that allows people to come to grips with each book of the Bible one bite at a time. Each book contains 60 punchy and relevant chapters, crammed with fascinating and accessible scholarship.
Moreover, Oliver argues, Jamesian transcendence is relevant to current questions in cognitive science and the emerging ecological, computer, and cyber worlds." "Jamesian transcendence, according to Oliver, seeks to reconcile individual growth with social responsibility. In this age of impersonal information, it invites us all to embrace our own enthusiasms, or "delights," as the surest sources of personal happiness, mutual regard, and depth of experience."--BOOK JACKET.
Helping orphaned and disadvantaged boys get a chance at a better life was the mission of Brother James, founder of the Franciscan Brothers of the Holy Cross, a German Catholic Order that sent Brothers to the United States in 1924. To that end, St. James Trade School was established in Springfield, Illinois, in 1928. Two years later, the first group of apprentices was admitted; they and hundreds who followed them through 1972 went on to become certified mechanics, carpenters, and electricians among other valuable trades. High school diplomas were earned beginning in 1948. In 1975, Brother James Court (BJC) opened with a brand new building specifically designed as a residential intermediate care facility. BJC provides both residency and advocacy for developmentally disabled men. Providing the highest quality care, consistent with the spirit and principles of the Franciscan Brothers of the Holy Cross, programs at BJC meet residents' needs and allow them to live happily at BJC for as long as they need.
Our world has been transformed beyond recognition, particularly in the twentieth century, and so were our lives and our aspirations.
