False Teachings and Divisive Movements

By: Steve Urick

Within the realm of professing Christendom many false teachings and divisions exist. This is because people often fail to study or properly discern sound Bible doctrine. They then follow after charismatic or dogmatic teachers who have misinterpreted or rejected God's Word. False Teachings and Divisive Movements looks at several false teachings and movements, some formed recently, and some not so recent, that exists within many churches today. If you ever wonder why there is so much disagreement between professing Christians, or question various religious teachings and movements, this book will shed light on these matters and help clear up any confusion you might have.

Satan

Still Under Christ's Kingdom's Scrutiny

By: Steve C. Varner

The book Satan: Still Under Christ’s Kingdom’s Scrutiny is all about stepping on Satan’s toes. This book describes who Satan is, why he attempted to exalt himself to be like God, and why he is the one who has received the sting of rebuke by the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The writer’s goal is to teach and admonish us and our children how to hate sin, abhor that which is evil, and encourage us to fulfill our responsibilities to reconcile others back to God.

Life in the Kingdom, book 1

By: Steve Husting

Have you ever asked yourself, ""Is this all there is to being saved? Isn't there something more to this?"" Most of us are only being taught half a salvation. Jesus' views on salvation are quite at odds with the way many of us experience it in our day-to day-lives. Life in the Kingdom is a devotional commentary on living the Christian life as Jesus anticipated it. Covering Matthew chapters 1-14 in this volume, we begin to see how the many elements of the Christian life are actually building materials for the Kingdom of God. We Christians seldom use the phrase, ""Kingdom of God,"" choosing rather to use ""saved."" But seeing our salvation in the context of the Kingdom clarifies why we do what we do, our position in God's plan of the ages, and imparts meaning to us who surrender to it.

Quota Quickies

Quota Quickies

By: Steve Chibnall

This book, the first of two volumes, will provide a major new history of the British B film, tracing the development of the low-budget supporting feature from the 1927 Films Act (which introduced a quota system for the distribution and exhibition of indigenous product) to the age of television, when B film producers channelled their energies into making TV programmes. Along the way, the authors will address leading producers and studios, B film stars, distributors, the genres and themes that tended to dominate B film production (comedy, horror, crime and fantasy). 'Quota Quickies' will include a case study of the B films of Michael Powell. The authors' argument is that the B film was hugely important in British cinema history in offering an opportunity for British actors and technicians to develop their careers, and that the films themselves provided an outlet for the exploration of peculiarly British cultural concerns in an industry traditionally dominated by Hollywood output. They also contend that some of the films stand up well to contemporary viewing and are deserving of critical re-evaluation.

Push Has Come to Shove

Getting Our Kids the Education They Deserve--Even If It Means Picking a Fight

By: Dr. Steve Perry

When we ask our kids, “What’d you do in school today?” and they mumble, “Nothin',” they’re telling the truth. Steve Perry gets it. He understands why some parents are panicked about what’s going on in their kids’ classrooms, and how other parents, whose kids supposedly attend the “good” schools, still fear that their children are falling behind. As principal of one of the best performing schools in America – one that sends 100% of its mostly minority students to four-year colleges – Perry delights in proving “the system” wrong. In this solution-oriented manifesto, Perry covers the full range of issues holding back today’s students. He shows parents and principals how to find great teachers (and get rid of the bad ones), how to make readers out of kids who hate to read, how to make the school curriculum thrilling rather than sleep-inducing, how to conduct an all-important education “home audit,” how to “e-organize” if school boards and administrators aren’t getting the message, how to build a “school of the future,” and much more. The era of third-rate education is over. Push has come to shove!

The Wounded Woman

Hope and Healing for Those Who Hurt

By: Dr. Steve Stephens,Pam Vredevelt

Hope and Healing Are at Hand Extraordinary emotional pain cries out for something more than a Band-Aid, a pat on the shoulder, or a greeting card cliché. When the wounds go deep, real help, honest encouragement, and tangible healing may be hard to locate. But it is there to find, and the search is worth the effort. Compassionate and experienced counselors Dr. Steve Stephens and Pam Vredevelt, LPC, have walked alongside women in pain for years—they’ve heard the stories, seen the tears, felt the pain, and entered into the devastation. They’ve also seen how wounded women can step out of darkness into hope, regain their feet, restart their lives, recover their energy, and even reclaim their joy. Real-life stories and proven, practical counsel serve as powerful tools to help you recover from past and present wounds, moving you into a new season of productive living. Hope Is Here “My pain is too deep for a Band-Aid.” “Will this heartache ever end?” “Why me?” Today is your day…a fresh season of living has arrived. Coming alongside as faithful friends, Dr. Steve Stephens and Pam Vredevelt meet you in the depths of your circumstances and uncover the pathway to healing. They offer an opportunity to regain your feet, restart your life, recover your energy, and reclaim your joy. These real-life testimonies and proven, practical counsel will guide you toward complete recovery and inspire you to press forward in newfound strength—not in spite of your wounds, but because of them. “I believe this is one of the most important books ever written for women. Every page is filled with nurturing wisdom and refreshing hope. At last, for every wounded woman, there is a pathway out of the hurt and pain.” -Alice Gray, author of Treasures for Women Who Hope, coauthor of The Worn Out Woman and The Walk Out Woman Story Behind the Book The authors are licensed therapists who see an enormous number of women struggling with the same basic issue: wounds that result from living in an imperfect world with imperfect people. “Some are great at hiding their wounds,” they say. “Others are so overwhelmed by them that they are unable to recover and bounce back. We consistently meet women with incredible potential who are stuck in emotional pain. Unable to move forward, their wounds block them from becoming all they can be. We want to help them work through the process of letting go of this pain and progress in healing. The abundant life Jesus promises will be theirs!”

It's in the Action

Memories of a Nonviolent Warrior

By: C. T. Vivian,Steve Fiffer

The wisdom acquired during C. T. Vivian's lifetime is generously shared in It's In the Action, the civil rights legend's memoir of his early life and time in the civil rights movement. Vivian worked hand-in-hand with the movement's most famous figures, including Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lewis, and his contributions were no less vital to the successes of nonviolent resistance. Bearing a foreword from Andrew Young, It's In the Action is an important addition to civil rights history from Vivian and co-author Steve Fiffer. C. T. Vivian’s life was never defined by the discrimination and hardship he faced, although there were many instances of both throughout his lifetime. The late civil rights leader instead focused on his faith in God and his steadfast belief in nonviolence, extending these principles nationwide as a member of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. It's In the Action contains Vivian’s recollections, ranging from finding religion at the young age of five to his imprisonment as part of the Freedom Rides. The late civil rights leader’s heart wrenching and inspiring stories from a lifetime of nonviolent activism come just in time for a new generation of activists, similarly responding to systems of injustice, violence, and oppression. It's In the Action is a record of a life dedicated to selflessness and morality, qualities achieved by Vivian that we can all aspire to.

Success...Swimming in a Sea Of

By: Steve Gammill

How do each of us define success? Is it the accumulation of money and stuff? What are our lifes stories? They point directly to the answer. This book is about fourteen people, all living in the same corner of Colorado, some of whom know each other. Would it surprise you to learn that there were fourteen sets of life stories, and fourteen different expressions of nearly the same definition? I was grounded until three unsolicited people came to him and said I was a nice person. They couldnt be my friendsit had to be an adult in the normal course of life going to him and saying, Hey, I saw your son doing something good, an unsolicited good report. Chris said, I have two rules: be on time and play hard. Everything else takes care of itself. Because, if you are not on time, you wont catch the bus, and you wont be with me. I really see myself as an educator more than anything. I like to be able to make a difference, whether its teaching someone how to land an airplane or helping them to understand anything else in life.

Flexibility, Foresight and Fortuna in Taiwan's Development

By: Steve Chan,Cal Clark

Using the developmental history of Taiwan as a starting point, Flexibility, Foresight and Fortuna critically examines several prevalent formulations of domestic development and international economy. The authors examine Taiwan's policy performance from, in turn, the developmental, the dependency, the statist, and the trade-off perspectives on political economy. They reject these approaches in favour of the key ideas of flexibility, foresight and fortuna as an explanation of Taiwan's relatively unusual success in achieving domestic development and upward mobility in the international system.

Revelation by the Book

Reconciling Revelation by the Word of God

By: Steve Davis

The vast majority of Christians are confused and uncertain about the book of Revelation, and it is no wonder. Ten different Bible commentators can present twelve different points of view on Revelation. Bible teachers just adopt the viewpoint of their favorite Bible commentator. Pastors tend to preach to the view point they were taught in seminary by a respected professor. Ninety-nine percent of pastors and Bible teachers are not dogmatic about their view of Revelation and will profess that each of the various interpretations has merit, but this is an unacceptable position. Logically, there can be only one correct interpretation of the book of Revelation. The desire to find the one true interpretation of Revelation has been with me since I first began reading the Bible over twelve years ago. After years of prayer, study, research, and contemplation, the fog of confusion began to clear. The key is quite simple and yet difficult in that it is most elusive. The key to unlocking Revelation is a complete trust in God.

Between Heaven and Earth

Finding Hope, Courage, and Passion Through a Fresh Vision of Heaven

By: Steve Berger

Be Transformed by a Glimpse of Paradise · What will heaven be like? What will we do? Who will we see? · How can I become more excited about heaven as my true home? · Is it possible that knowing more about heaven will result in greater joy and purpose in my daily life? It's not easy separating fact from fiction when it comes to heaven, nor is it always easy to see how the afterlife can affect our lives today. After a car accident caused his nineteen-year-old son to unexpectedly enter heaven, Pastor Steve Berger chose to reject despair and commit himself to carefully studying his son's new, eternal home. He had no idea how much there was to learn, and his life hasn't been the same since. This biblical and deeply personal study of heaven will give you hope for the future. But more than that, it will show you what it means to live today in light of the reality of heaven. If your view of heaven isn't life-changing, it needs to be adjusted. Let Pastor Berger's exploration of eternity fill you with overflowing hope, courage, and purpose. "Sometimes we feel stuck--stuck between the hope of heaven and the pain of this world. In Between Heaven and Earth, my friend Steve Berger shows us how to not only live in that tension, but how--and why--we should embrace it."--Dave Ramsey, New York Times bestselling author and nationally syndicated radio show host "I grew up hearing people say, 'Some Christians are so heavenly minded they are of no earthly good.' Nowadays it seems like the church has become so earthly minded we're of no heavenly good. In Between Heaven and Earth, my friend Pastor Steve Berger shows us the absolute necessity of having a heavenly mind-set (Colossians 3:1-2) in order to make a real difference in people's lives while we remain on earth. Embrace the truths of this book--learn how to have your heart in heaven and your hand in the harvest. It's one decision you'll never regret!"--Jeremy Camp "When my friend Steve Berger talks about heaven, I sit up and listen. I've walked with Steve as he's faced the trials of this life, and I've observed how he has emerged with a deeper faith and love for the Father and the people around him. What he has taught me makes me long for heaven. It also makes me want to spend my time on earth making a difference . . . and finishing well."--Michael W. Smith "A beloved pastor and teacher, Steve Berger taught for years on the reality of heaven even as we serve Christ on earth, never knowing that one tragic event would bring both realities irrevocably into sharp focus in a moment. . . . Some of God's greatest mysteries are wrapped up in tragedy, but the tear-stained wisdom mined in that darkness is a gift to us all. In this marvelous book, heaven will become a greater reality even as we are invited to live our lives on earth with greater passion."--Sheila Walsh, author of The Storm Inside "Steve has a rich, compelling perspective on Glory that will give you fresh grace to lean into the perfect love of Jesus today. Therefore, I encourage readers not to stop at just one--instead buy a whole case of these puppies and pass them out to all your friends and family!"--Lisa Harper, author, Bible teacher and Women of Faith speaker "In stark contrast to the Bible--and the whole of Christian history--today's believers think little about heaven and much about the comforts, challenges, and distractions of this life. In this much-needed corrective, Pastor Steve Berger challenges and equips us to be more heavenly minded, so we can, in fact, be more earthly good."--Michael Hyatt, New York Times bestselling author

Steps of a Disciple

By: Steve Husting

Throughout the Gospel of Mark, we find Jesus teaching His disciples how to live for Him. Those teachings are ours as well, that we too may learn to walk in the steps of Jesus. I've applied my experience in writing hundreds of devotionals to draw out of this precious gospel over 220 lessons on how to live a life that pleases God. I hold up my failures and difficulties to the light of the Word of God and show you how to rise above your own weaknesses by the love and power of God. Let Jesus teach you how to surrender to Him, for His victory in life is yours as well. Chances are, you have yet to experience a richly featured God who can handle the complexities that life throws our way. Step by step, let the gospel of Mark add more pieces of the puzzle to form a picture of Jesus that is rich and satisfying. It's time to go beyond platitudes to a richly featured faith in the living God and Savior.

Catholic or Protestant

What Our Churches Should Be Teaching

By: Steve Childers

I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew18:3 Our salvation is so much more than an emotional night at a revival or perfect attendance in mass. It may be the first step, but God is looking for a commitment; and as creatures of free will, we have the choice to be obedient or to turn back to our sinful nature. It is up to us whether we experience the wonderful promises of Jesus Christ or suffer the consequences of bad decisions following the sinful ways of man. Our life on earth and our standing in heaven depends on the daily choices we make. Many Christians are frustrated because all they hear about in church are the blessings of Christ, and they wonder why they are not experiencing them. Many churches only teach about the benefits so as not to upset anyone and, in turn, hurt contributions to the building fund. However, Christians must understand what the Lord expects in order to experience His blessings, even as harsh as some of it may sound. The Bible was given to us to make changes in our own lives, not as justification of how we are living or to support criticism of those with sins different than our own. Scripture in this book is organized by topic, along with authors interpretation, and then you can decide if you are in a church being lead by the Holy Spirit. www.CatholicOrProtestant.com

The Pastoral Prophet

Meditations on the Book of Jeremiah

By: Steve Kruschel

When the Lord called Jeremiah to be his prophet, he called a man grappling with insecurities and weaknesses. He made a prophet out of a struggling sinner. God strengthened Jeremiah to preach to his family who betrayed him, his king who wanted him dead, and to false prophets trying to drown out his message. His words speak to you, too. These devotions based on Jeremiah's words and experiences are meant to help encourage you as a pastor, a teacher, a church leader, and a parishioner. Watch as Jeremiah holds the mirror of God's law up to your heart and witness God's beautiful gospel message as his prophet speaks it directly to you.

Scripture gives us sound instruction on how to live our lives as well as how to enjoy the love, joy, and peace that come from a personal relationship with Jesus. Section 1. The Christian life is the Spirit-filled life! When we are saved, we receive the Holy Spirit of God. In short, this means that the presence of God resides in the life of every born-again believer in Jesus Christ. What the world cannot boast about, Christians can, namely that we belong to God, know God, and live in the power of His presence. When we belong to Christ, this power is ours to enjoy and use for the building up of the kingdom of God. Section 2. Proverbs is an excellent source for wisdom as it provides us with timeless principles for life. Like the entirety of God’s Word, spending time in the Proverbs opens up opportunities for God to speak to us and continue to shape our lives. Carve out some time to read an entire chapter of Proverbs daily. This will allow you to read through the book in a month. Each day, we will focus on just one portion from each chapter. This book can be used as a personal daily devotional or a group Bible study. Whether it is the examination of one specific passage or a walk through an entire book of the Bible, these studies will bring biblical insight, allowing for a deeper understanding of God’s Word. May God richly bless you as you make the study of Scripture a priority in your life!

The VESPA Handbook

40 new activities to boost student commitment, motivation and productivity

By: Steve Oakes,Martin Griffin

Offers 40 concrete, practical tools and activities that will supercharge learners' ambition, organisation, persistence and determination. Where some education books focus on how individual teachers might sequence and deliver pieces of information in the clearest, most helpful and supportive way, engaging as many learners as possible, this one is different. This book looks at how you can help learners manage their workload and take control of their own knowledge and skills. It explores the characteristics, qualities and habits of successful students and shares forty replicable tools and tactics that all students can use immediately, both in and out of the classroom – activities that will help them to set goals, work more efficiently, organise their resources, revise more effectively and solve problems. This book is a perfect introduction to the VESPA approach, as well as being a practical addition to previous resources. The VESPA Handbook will help teachers develop the five key characteristics and behaviours that students need to be successful: vision, effort, systems, practice and attitude. When it comes to achieving academic success, these characteristics are crucial. Suitable for teachers, tutors and parents who want to boost academic outcomes in 14–18-year-olds and equip them with powerful tools and techniques in preparation for further education and employment.

Second Tolstoy

The Sermon on the Mount as Theo-tactics

By: Steve Hickey

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Second Tolstoy

The Sermon on the Mount as Theo-tactics

By: Steve Hickey

Very few if any have devoted more years to practicing and teaching others to practice the precepts of Jesus's Sermon on the Mount than Leo Tolstoy. He stands apart in the history of interpretation and has had enormous influence on others and other countries. Yet, Gandhi or others often get the glory. Tolstoy is remembered as a great writer, but his religious and philosophical works are by and large unknown or disparaged, even in scholarly Tolstoyan circles. His contribution is substantially under-appreciated and misunderstood. In Second Tolstoy: The Sermon on the Mount as Theo-tactics, Steve Hickey captures the particulars and dynamics of Tolstoy's interpretation of the Sermon on the Mount from a deliberately sympathetic vantage point. Underlying this project is shared belief with Tolstoy that the Sermon on the Mount is liveable and to be lived. While from the vantage point of traditional orthodoxy Tolstoy got much wrong, there remains a lack of appreciation for what he got right--radical obedience to the teachings of Jesus. A new vocabulary is proposed to more precisely capture Tolstoyan lived theology, namely the political and social expressions of Tolstoyan Christianity, with the hope that these theories and practices will gain a wider consideration, understanding, and following.

Alpha & Omega

A simplified guide to end day?s prophecy

By: Steve Mudway

ÿMany eminent bible scholars have studied the intriguing question of end days prophecy, while misleading and sometimes absurd claims have been made by the less qualified. Finding many of his questions unanswered by generally accepted past or current explanations, the author set out on a journey to discover for himself the likely truth revealed in the message to men given in the bible. He has written this book in an attempt to clear a path through the jungle of speculation. ?The only reliable answers must be found in the scriptures themselves, even if their truths are, at times, well and truly hidden,? he writes. A fascinating study for those who long to know what truly lies in store for us on earth when the final day arrives.

Looking Unto Jesus

30 Days of Transformation

By: Steve Foss

You cannot overcome the world by willpower alone. Countless sermons offer strategies for overcoming your past, building unshakable faith, and experiencing breakthrough. But nothing can transform the human heart like the revelation of the person of Jesus Christ. In Looking Unto Jesus: 30 Days of Transformation, Steve Foss takes you on a voyage through more than two dozen descriptions of Jesus found in Revelation 1. These depictions unveil "the light of the knowledge of the glory of God [as revealed] in the face of Jesus Christ" (2 Cor. 4:6). Only as you see Jesus as He is will you be able to stand in these days of increasing crisis. This book will take you into the deep and intimate knowledge of Jesus' character, nature, authority, and coming kingdom. In this thirty-day journey, you will learn the power and meaning behind why Jesus is called: The faithful witness The firstborn from the dead The Alpha and Omega, and more We are living in a time when God is opening His Word like never before and unveiling the greatest revelation of Jesus Christ the world has ever known. Through these thirty days of transformation, as you focus on Jesus and what He is focused on--the end of the age--you will be empowered and transformed from glory to glory.

Which Way to the Wild West?

Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About America's Westward Expansion

By: Steve Sheinkin

New York Times bestselling author and Newbery Honor recipient Steve Sheinkin welcomes young readers to the thrilling, tragic, and downright wild historic adventure of America’s westward expansion in Which Way to the Wild West? Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn’t Tell You About America’s Westward Expansion, featuring illustrations by Tim Robinson. 1805: Explorer William Clark reaches the Pacific Ocean and pens the badly spelled line “Ocian in view! O! the joy!” (Hey, he was an explorer, not a spelling bee champion!) 1836: Mexican general Santa Anna surrounds the Alamo, trapping 180 Texans inside and prompting Texan William Travis to declare, “I shall never surrender or retreat.” 1861: Two railroad companies, one starting in the West and one in the East, start a race to lay the most track and create a transcontinental railroad. With a storyteller's voice and attention to the details that make history real and interesting, Steve Sheinkin delivers the wild facts about America's greatest adventure. From the Louisiana Purchase (remember: if you're negotiating a treaty for your country, play it cool.) to the gold rush (there were only three ways to get to California--all of them bad) to the life of the cowboy, the Indian wars, and the everyday happenings that defined living on the frontier. “An engaging...medley of anecdotes about the Wild West in nine lively chapters starting with the Louisiana Purchase and ending with the Lakota massacre at Wounded Knee in 1890. Casual vignettes of famous figures and ordinary people come to life.” —School Library Journal “Sheinkin builds his conversational narrative around stories of the men and women who peopled the west, with particular attention given to African Americans, Chinese workers, and everyday farmers and cowboys. There's plenty of humor here, but Sheinkin's strength is his ability to transition between events.”—The Horn Book Also by Steve Sheinkin: Bomb: The Race to Build—and Steal—the World's Most Dangerous Weapon The Notorious Benedict Arnold: A True Story of Adventure, Heroism & Treachery The Port Chicago 50: Disaster, Mutiny, and the Fight for Civil Rights Undefeated: Jim Thorpe and the Carlisle Indian School Football Team Most Dangerous: Daniel Ellsberg and the Secret History of the Vietnam War King George: What Was His Problem?: Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About the American Revolution Two Miserable Presidents: Everything Your Schoolbooks Didn't Tell You About the Civil War Born to Fly: The First Women's Air Race Across America
