2.A Study of the Book of Ruth: One of the Greatest Love Stories of All Time - by Jennifer E. Jackson

A Study of the Book of Ruth: One of the Greatest Love Stories of All Time
THE BOOK OF RUTHOne of the Greatest Love Stories of All TimeThe book of Ruth is a small but mighty book, a beautiful parallel to Ruth's journey as an ordinary woman on an extraordinary path as she followed the plan of a mighty God. In only four chapters, Ruth travels from loss and heartbreak to an unexpected romance and restorative love story. While Naomi, Ruth and Boaz are the central characters throughout the book of Ruth, it is God's heart for his people that takes center stage. If you have ever faced the unknown, experienced loneliness, encountered grief or known gut-wrenching devastation, this story and this study are for you.Together we will better understand the historical and cultural context of Ruth's story, even digging into the author's original language in order to best make sense of Ruth's significance in Jesus's genealogy as well as our own lives. I will share a bit of my own journey as someone who moved away from the place and people I called home and toward a new land filled with unknowns. Like Ruth, I centered my heart on God and committed to Him, saying, "Where you go, I will go," and like Ruth, I can now proclaim that my Redeemer lives. My prayer is that through the six chapters of this study, you also will commit your heart to following God, no matter where He leads you, and through that journey you will encounter the love and strength of a savior who redeems.

Nothing destroys trust like sexual betrayal. Beyond broken vows, a woman who discovers that the man she loves has been viewing pornography or having an affair must deal with devastating blows to her self-image and self-worth.

She may even bear the brunt of shame and judgment when the people around her find out.Drawing from her experience both as a marriage and family therapist and a woman who personally experienced the devastation of sexual betrayal, Dr. Sheri Keffer walks women impacted by betrayal through the pain and toward recovery. She explains how the trauma of betrayal affects our minds, bodies, spirits, and sexuality. She offers practical tools for dealing with emotional triggers and helps women understand the realities of sexual addiction. And she shows women how to practice self-care, develop healthy boundaries, protect themselves from abuse or manipulation, and find freedom from the burden of shame and guilt.About the AuthorKeffer, Sheri: - Dr. Sheri Keffer is the cohost of the nationally syndicated Christian talk show New Life Live, with an audience of more than two million people each week on 150 stations nationwide.

6.Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can't Be Fused with Christianity - by Carrie Rose Gress

Something Wicked: Why Feminism Can't Be Fused with Christianity
The culture wars have raged for decades, but with seemingly little success. Christians are losing the cultural battle for family, life, and faith. But why? In this riveting look at the underbelly of feminism, Dr. Carrie Gress lays out why pro-life and pro-family efforts have failed to deliver. Feminism has quietly captured the minds and hearts of women by mimicking aspects of Christianity. Through its own "commandments," "virtues," "evangelization," and even "a sacrament," feminism has become an exceedingly powerful megachurch. While Christians have targeted the specific products of the feminist ideology, such as abortion and transgenderism, we have missed the bigger picture of how feminism's shadow church has captured the psyche of Western women. Feminism is all too often perceived, even among Christians, as something virtuous that affords women true equality and freedom. Dr. Gress overturns this misconception, smashing the idol of feminism and exposing its deeply anti-Christian origins. Drawing from history, psychology, philosophy, culture, and common sense, Dr. Gress explains: How early feminists opposed traditional Christianity and espoused occultic practices Six ways feminism has become its own religion that mimics the Christian faith Why the feminist idol of women's autonomy can never lead to happiness How the prioritization of masculine virtues devalued the vital gifts of women What happens when Christians try to blend their faith with feminism Why the restless search for identity by many adrift in culture is really a grasping for home The vital role that men and the patriarchy play in meeting the needs of all of society Dr. Gress lays out solutions to how womanhood can be viewed afresh, without feminism's menace, healing the ever-growing rift between the sexes, reconnecting the essential bond of empathy between mother and child, and restoring God to his rightful place in the hearts of all women.About the AuthorCarrie Gress, Ph.D., is a scholar at the Institute for Human Ecology at Catholic University of America. She is the founder and editor at the online women's magazine TheologyofHome.com and the author of ten books, including the Theology of Home series, The Anti-Mary Exposed, and The End of Woman

The Seven Ecumenical Councils Of The Undivided Church: Their Canons And Dogmatic Decrees Together With The Canons Of All The Local synods Which Have R
"I venerate the first four Ecumenical Councils equally with the Four Gospels"- St. Gregory the Great.A truly comprehensive resource.The reader will find in English, so far as they have come down to us, all the doctrinal definitions of the Seven Ecumenical Councils (councils which have always, and still do, receive the unqualified acceptance of both East and West), and all the canons, disciplinary and doctrinal, which were enacted by them. To these has been added a translation in full of all the canons of the local synods which received the approval and sanction of these Ecumenical Councils. To throw additional light upon the subject, large extracts from the Acta have been given. In fact, all that seemed useful to illustrate the decrees has been placed in the Appendices. Finally, the Ancient Epitome, essentially a very ancient commentary, is attached to each synodal canon. All in all, this is a comprehensive resource in the field of Early Church History and Theology. Philip Schaff (1819-1893) was a Swiss-born, German-educated theologian and ecclesiastical historian. He lectured in Germany, Italy and England but spent most of his adult life teaching in the United States where he was regarded as the leading protestant scholar of his day. He oversaw numerous scholarly projects, including the preparation of the American Standard Version of the Bible.
