Book Synopsis Gates of Jerusalem by : Christopher Roberts
Download or read book Gates of Jerusalem written by Christopher Roberts. This book was released on 2018-03-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the rebuilding of the Wall(s) of Jerusalem and its accompanying Gates - in many respects, the building of these walls concentrated on the Gates of Jerusalem because that's where assaults from Israel's enemies were most likely. Not only is there a physical aspect to the building of these gates, there is a spiritual one too. Each gate represents an important aspect, in the life of a Christian, that needs attention or rebuilding. For example, the Sheep Gate represents the concept that: Jesus is the foundation on which our lives are built upon; the Fish Gate represents the calling of God on our lives; and the Old Gate represents the fact that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, etc. As you read this book, allow the Holy Spirit to identify the gates that have been broken down in your life and allow God to restore your walk with the Lord in accordance with his word. If you enjoy this book, there are many other books by Christopher Roberts available to you on Amazon.

Book Synopsis Her Gates Will Never Be Shut by : Brad Jersak
Download or read book Her Gates Will Never Be Shut written by Brad Jersak. This book was released on 2010-01-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everlasting hell and divine judgment, a lake of fire and brimstone--these mainstays of evangelical tradition have come under fire once again in recent decades. Would the God of love revealed by Jesus really consign the vast majority of humankind to a destiny of eternal, conscious torment? Is divine mercy bound by the demands of justice? How can anyone presume to know who is saved from the flames and who is not? Reacting to presumptions in like manner, others write off the fiery images of final judgment altogether. If there is a God who loves us, then surely all are welcome into the heavenly kingdom, regardless of their beliefs or behaviors in this life. Yet, given the sheer volume of threat rhetoric in the Scriptures and the wickedness manifest in human history, the pop-universalism of our day sounds more like denial than hope. Mercy triumphs over judgment; it does not skirt it. Her Gates Will Never Be Shut endeavors to reconsider what the Bible and the Church have actually said about hell and hope, noting a breadth of real possibilities that undermines every presumption. The polyphony of perspectives on hell and hope offered by the prophets, apostles, and Jesus humble our obsessive need to harmonize every text into a neat theological system. But they open the door to the eternal hope found in Revelation 21-22: the City whose gates will never be shut; where the Spirit and Bride perpetually invite the thirsty who are outside the city to "Come, drink of the waters of life."

Book Synopsis Indians at Herod's Gate by : Navtej Sarna
Download or read book Indians at Herod's Gate written by Navtej Sarna. This book was released on 2014. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eight hundred years ago Baba Farid, the great Sufi saint of the Chisti order, visited Jerusalem, freshly wrested back for Islam from the Crusaders by Saladin, and meditated there for forty days in an underground room. Later, an Indian Hospice was born through a waqf endowment around that room and has welcomed Indian pilgrims and soldiers to Jerusalem ever since. For close to a century, through the tumultuous years of the British Mandate, the Second World War, the birth of Israel and the ensuing decades of conflict, the Hospice has been looked after by an Indian family first by Sheikh Nazir Hasan Ansari, a police inspector s son from Saharanpur, and then by his eldest son, Sheikh Munir Ansari. Following in the tradition of literary travellers such as Bruce Chatwin and Paul Theroux, Navtej Sarna wanders through the timeless narrow lanes of Old Jerusalem, sifting through fact and fable to tease out the unique story of the Indian Hospice and the Ansari family. What starts off as a personal conversation becomes a deeply researched but lightly told account that weaves historical narrative with telling personal detail.
