Exploring the hospitality of God, and its implications for human thought and action, this book examines the concepts of hospitality as cognitive tools for reframing our thinking about God, divine action, and human response in discipleship. Hospitality is imagined as an interactive symbol, changing perspectives and encouraging stable environments of compassionate construction in society. Human rights are of crucial importance to the wellbeing of the people of our planet. But there is a sense in which they will always be an emergency measure, a response to evils as they are happening. The authors argue that a hospitable comparative theology reaches out to bring Christian hospitality into the dialogue of world religions and cultures. It will respect the identity of particular groups and yet will strive for a cosmopolitan sharing of common values. It will respect tradition but also openness to reform and re-imagining. It will encourage convergence and development in a fluid stream of committed hospitalities.

Popular author and humor essayist, Allen Smith has done it again. He's managed to skewer everything that's sacred including sex, political correctness and even religion in his new book, Monkey in a Pink Canoe.Comprised of a collection of his most popular columns and blog posts from the past two years, Monkey in a Pink Canoe is the antidote to sanity. Smith pokes fun at subjects like explaining the birds and the bees to a 6-year-old (Monkey in a Pink Canoe) using street slang like, "paddling the pink" and "bald headed yogurt slinger," while annihilating the way new parents saddle their children with embarrassing monikers such as Bronx Mowgli, Moxie CrimeFighter and Banana Howdy.Everything is fair game in Monkey in a Pink Canoe. From the author's personal challenges of learning how to feed himself (Betty Crocker Means Good Nutrition) to trying to make the best of things while your life collapses around you (With Rentals Like These, Who Needs Friends?). Some of the essays describe our common struggles as growing children learning how to smoke cigarettes (Smoke 'em if Ya Got 'em,) and lusting after our first buzz from alcohol (Alcohol of Fame). Others describe what happens later in life as we wrestle with the aging process (I'll Never Forget the Time I Remembered, A Little Baggage Never Hurt Anyone) and (I Don't Feel as Good as I Look). Even religion (Stranded in Purgatory and Reincarnation Gone Cluck) fails to escape a direct assault by describing what it's like to spend near-eternity with Hitler, Bin Laden and Tonya Harding or a reincarnated chicken on his way to a mid-west KFC.Monkey in a Pink Canoe is the perfect antidote to real life. The essays are short, entertaining and the ideal vacation from a busy life. Once you read this book, you'll never look at life the same way again!

Memorizing Psalm 51 - Create in Me a Clean Heart: Memorize Scripture, Memorize the Bible, and Seal God’s Word in Your Heart (Bible Meditation and Memorization)

Nelaco Press

Are you ready to strengthen your relationship with God and take your faith to a new level? Then read on. Throughout history, many Christian icons -- including Martin Luther, Chuck Swindoll and Fanny Crosby -- have extolled the benefits of memorizing scripture, and there's a good reason for this. When you commit the word of God to memory, just a few of the benefits you stand to gain include: <ul> <li>Sharper and more effective witnessing</li> <li>Stronger prayer</li> <li>Greater alertness and higher observation skills</li> <li>Enhanced confidence and assurance</li> </ul> But ultimately, the greatest benefit of them all is that you will feel a stronger connection to God and a solidification of your faith. Memorizing the scriptures may seem like an insurmountable task -- but not only is it possible; it's enriching. Anything worth doing takes work, and memorizing the word of God is no different. But supplied with the right strategies and a strong determination, this is the most rewarding work you will ever do, and you'll find that it will bring you closer to God in a way that simply reading the scriptures cannot. Whether you have 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour a day to spare, you can commit God's word to heart -- no matter how bad you think your memory is. In Memorizing Memorizing Psalm 139 - Fearfully and Wonderfully Made, you'll be given everything you need to memorize the chapter. You'll discover: <ul> <li>A step-by-step guide to memorizing scripture that you can later apply to any part of the Bible you wish</li> <li>A one-verse-at-a-time approach to the entire chapter that makes memorizing not only achievable, but deeply rewarding</li> <li>A week-by-week course for memorizing scripture, including easy weekly planning to make memorization a doddle</li> <li>Ways you can adapt the process to fit your life -- no matter how little time you have</li> <li>5 fundamental tips to optimize your memory</li> <li>A fool-proof way to memorize scripture without needing the Bible in front of you</li> <li>The chapter broken down into digestible, memory-friendly chunks</li> <li>What 'the 10-10-10 method' is -- and how to use it to bring you closer to God</li> <li>Next steps -- exactly how you can use what you've learned and apply it to any other part of the Bible you'd like to commit to memory</li> </ul> And much more. If you think your memory isn't good enough to memorize scripture, think again. You've learned so many things over the course of your life, from cooking your favorite recipe to the best route to drive to work. They don't feel like a big deal anymore because you put the work in, and now they're just a part of your life. No matter what reason you've been putting this off, now's the time to memorize the word of God -- not only in your mind, but in your heart -- and with a little work and a patient guide, it's going to be a lot easier than you imagine.
