Book Description
() We want to give thanks to God, for all this project he allowed us to do. Many times, I thought that I could not do more, but he keeps strengthening me. I hope that this book gets into the hands of all the living, especially the young people of today. This will help them avoid falling into all that I fell for. And as such, they will embrace the opportunity of encountering God's miracles. I pray to God every day. It is my dream that this book reaches all the prisons in different parts of the world and, by the power of God, transforms the inmates so that they will be able to change their lives. Therefore it is better not to have, than having and still lose everything. Once, I had it all, but God taught me a huge lesson. God gave me a call and promised to bless me uncontrollably, just as he has promised you. God never fails. A lot of people think that God is not real, until in times of trouble. God is like a wind. You do not see it but you can feel it. Many will encounter God's miracle when they read this book. Others will be freed from shackles. Remember that your miracle is about to arrive. Receive the power of God now in the name of Jesus. Everyone deserves a second chance. I have had my chance, and now, I dedicate myself to preach and to bring the message of God by telling you that he will do it for you. You just have to believe. Today is the day of your miracle. 9

Etienne de Grellet, the French Evangelist. A Lecture
Coming Clean
Author: Jorge Valdés
Publisher: Waterbrook Press
ISBN: 9781578562244
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
It reads like a gripping novel of suspense and intrigue. But it's all true. The life of Jorge Valdés is an incredible testimony of the power of God to set free those bound by sin. After escaping Castro's Cuba in 1966, ten-year-old Jorge Valdés and his family fled to Miami. Bright and aggressive, Jorge became an honor student and, by the age of sixteen, was working for the Federal Reserve Bank. But a few years later, he went to work for the Medellin drug cartel - one of the largest and most powerful organized crime webs in the world. Soon Jorge was in charge of all the cartel's U.S. operations, making more than $1 million a month. But in 1989 Jorge Valdés encountered a person much more powerful than the strongest drug lord - one able to offer something more satisfying than anything women, drugs, money, prestige, or power could provide. Reading more like a fast-paced thriller than a biography, Coming Clean weaves a compelling story of forgiveness, renewal, and hope. And it offers a dramatic illustration of the power of the gospel to change lives.

Native Americans and the Christian Right
Author: Andrea Smith
Publisher: Duke University Press
ISBN: 0822388871
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
In Native Americans and the Christian Right, Andrea Smith advances social movement theory beyond simplistic understandings of social-justice activism as either right-wing or left-wing and urges a more open-minded approach to the role of religion in social movements. In examining the interplay of biblical scripture, gender, and nationalism in Christian Right and Native American activism, Smith rethinks the nature of political strategy and alliance-building for progressive purposes, highlighting the potential of unlikely alliances, termed “cowboys and Indians coalitions” by one of her Native activist interviewees. She also complicates ideas about identity, resistance, accommodation, and acquiescence in relation to social-justice activism. Smith draws on archival research, interviews, and her own participation in Native struggles and Christian Right conferences and events. She considers American Indian activism within the Promise Keepers and new Charismatic movements. She also explores specific opportunities for building unlikely alliances. For instance, while evangelicals’ understanding of the relationship between the Bible and the state may lead to reactionary positions on issues including homosexuality, civil rights, and abortion, it also supports a relatively progressive position on prison reform. In terms of evangelical and Native American feminisms, she reveals antiviolence organizing to be a galvanizing force within both communities, discusses theories of coalition politics among both evangelical and indigenous women, and considers Native women’s visions of sovereignty and nationhood. Smith concludes with a reflection on the implications of her research for the field of Native American studies.

Traditional Churches, Born Again Christianity, and Pentecostalism
Author: Yonatan N. Gez
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319906410
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 358
Book Description
In Kenya's vibrant urban religious landscape, where Pentecostal and traditional churches of various orientations live side by side, religious identity tends to overflow a single institutional affiliation. While Kenya’s Christianity may offer modes of coping with the fragilities of urban life, it is subject to repeated crises and schisms, often fueled by rumors and accusations of hypocrisy. In order to understand the unfolding of Kenyans’ dynamic religious identities, and inspired by the omnipresent distinction between ‘religious membership’ and ‘church visits,’ Yonatan N. Gez considers the complementary relations between a center of religious affiliation and expansion towards secondary practices. Building on this basic distinction, the book develops a theoretical innovation in the form of the ‘religious repertoire’ model, which maps individuals’ religious identities in terms of three intertwined degrees of practice.
