This book features a lot lizard and a prostitute who was extremely good looking. Her eyes were dark and soft as a thousand midnights, and so was her hair. Her breast stood up like taillights on a ’59 Cadillac, she was a 34-28-36 brick house. Her lips were round and full, and her tongue tasted like July Jam. She was as fat as a swamp possum with the mumps and looked so good when this soul sister winked at a church deacon. They immediately had to give him artificial respiration. Go on and buy the book and read the rest of it. It’ll blow your mind how her pimp wanted to use a certain thing on her to get rid of her and he got some relatives living today using the same thing. If that wasn’t bad enough, this same pimp mistreated Jesus in the hood. Go ahead and buy this book, and be thrilled, enlightened, informed . . . and very amazed.

Should we imitate Jesus? Some Christians answer with a cheerful "Yes," seeing it as the sum of the Christian life. Others believe we should rely on the work of Christ alone, throwing off any hint of the moralism or "works righteousness" they associate with imitating Jesus. Jason Hood takes us on a tour of what the Bible has to say about imitating Jesus. He draws our attention to what Paul told the Corinthians he taught "everywhere in every church." And after following the theme throughout the New Testament, he looks at it from a historical and contemporary perspective. The result is the recovery of a biblical pattern for life—one that challenges the assumptions of those who excessively fear moralism as much as it challenges the assumptions of those who embrace it. Here is a reliable theological foundation for imitating Jesus today, a crucial first step toward the renewal of biblical discipleship.

As I walk out my life in this time and age, it is very apparent to me that there is a LARGE segment of our society that has endured incredible odds just to survive and my heart cries out in anguish because the TRUTH of who they are is hidden in a package that they are to some degree completely alienated from. The alienation is rooted in a lie that actually has the truth to their existence. ( THE THING THAT IS TO BRING TRUTH IS INFECTED WITH A LIE). To my brothers and sisters, my fellow Kings & Queens, the question is why has the truth been HIDDEN from you?I have seen that the delivery package overall has failed and is slow in rectifying the problem. This book boldly addresses the lie, the TRUE purpose of the lie and how it has brought our society to this place of NO RETURN! Yes as a society there will be no correction powerful enough to change the tide. The truth is society will eventually destroy its own self by a mathematical term called Compound Effect. (AT SOME POINT A HOUSE FULL OF ROACHES MUST BE CONDEMNED)!(ask Noah)...My heart in writing this book is rooted in my LOVE for my CHILDREN and their CHILDREN. I passionately hate that they are subject to this life that is so FAR REMOVED from what ALL CHILDREN are created to live in. Our Creator gives us the Gift of Offsprings to tap into the True Love that exist inside of us. Here is the first issue with the society that we have all been born in, we All are subject to the affects of this virus and with all viruses, we pass it on. The only antidote to this virus is Absolute Truth. (SOME THINGS THAT ARE CALLED TRUTH ARE NOT TRUTH). Our children are subject to the degree of our Infection. The beautiful thing about our life with the Creator is that a personal reset is Available to everyone, with a few requirements that is IN everyones ability to meet.

New York Times Bestseller. With just the right mixture of humor and insight, compassion and incredulity, A Year of Biblical Womanhood is an exercise in scriptural exploration and spiritual contemplation. What does God truly expect of women, and is there really a prescription for biblical womanhood? Come along with Evans as she looks for answers in the rich heritage of biblical heroines, models of grace, and all-around women of valor. What is "biblical womanhood" . . . really? Strong-willed and independent, Rachel Held Evans couldn't sew a button on a blouse before she embarked on a radical life experiment--a year of biblical womanhood. Intrigued by the traditionalist resurgence that led many of her friends to abandon their careers to assume traditional gender roles in the home, Evans decides to try it for herself, vowing to take all of the Bible's instructions for women as literally as possible for a year. Pursuing a different virtue each month, Evans learns the hard way that her quest for biblical womanhood requires more than a "gentle and quiet spirit" (1 Peter 3:4). It means growing out her hair, making her own clothes, covering her head, obeying her husband, rising before dawn, abstaining from gossip, remaining silent in church, and even camping out in the front yard during her period. See what happens when a thoroughly modern woman starts referring to her husband as "master" and "praises him at the city gate" with a homemade sign. Learn the insights she receives from an ongoing correspondence with an Orthodox Jewish woman, and find out what she discovers from her exchanges with a polygamist wife. Join her as she wrestles with difficult passages of scripture that portray misogyny and violence against women.

The world is obsessed with leaders: identifying them, training them, becoming them. Even in the church, this preoccupation is all-too apparent. Jesus, however, is not interested in developing leaders. Rather, he is interested in the formation of servants. In this powerful reflection on leadership and servanthood, Dr. Hwa Yung addresses the overemphasis on leadership development within the church. Challenging a culture of hubris, ambition, and self-seeking, he reminds us that ministry is not a call to position and power but to service and obedience. He draws us back to the example of Christ, who came as a servant of God and of his kingdom, who lived in submission to the Father, and who rooted himself in his identity as the incarnate Son of God. Linking spiritual authority to these three characteristics, Hwa Yung offers examples from both Scripture and church history to demonstrate that it is in fact the faithful practice of servanthood that leads to leadership impact.
