Jesus A Z

Have you ever asked yourself, who is Jesus? I am pretty sure if you asked every Christian who Jesus is to them, you would get many different answers. Everyone has their own reasons for thinking who Jesus is to them. This book provides you a way to share everything that you have learned about Jesus. Your journey through this book will also open new concepts of who Jesus is to you, and it will help others understand as well. The idea of this book first originated in the front row at my church on a typical Sunday morning. The pastor was giving his lecture on "Who Is Jesus to you?" When I heard that, I sat back thinking what a great concept that is. Something that seemed so simple resulted in an in-depth and thought-provoking study suitable for any everyday Christian. The process of travelling through this book will help you explore the depths of your faith. I first had to make sure that this concept was not already published. I exhausted the research and was ready to tackle this adventure. Once my decision was made, it was time to order a dictionary since I did not own one at the time. I went through and highlighted every word that could be used relating to Jesus. Next step was writing the definition and my own example sentences. The example sentence had to include that word and its association with Jesus. That, my friend, is the idea of this book. Take the word that is given and incorporate the name Jesus with that word in a sentence. You will have a better understanding on who he is and on what he has done in your life. This book is for you and you alone to grasp a deeper personal relationship with him over time. This does not have to be done in a hurry. I encourage you to see the word and write down a true meaning about Jesus and how he interacts in your life.

Though the title mentions letters of the alphabet, this book is not a children's book. No! It is a book for everyone because we all can learn more about Jesus. Names of Jesus from A to Z was written to give readers a better understanding of God the Father and Jesus, His beloved son. In the Baltimore Catechism #1, the question "Why did God make me?" is answered with the response, "God made me to know Him, to love Him, to serve Him in this world, and to be happy with Him forever in Heaven." It is our responsibility to know God. Scripture tells us in Peter 3:18, "But grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." Knowledge leads to love. Through Names of Jesus from A to Z we have a simple way to learn about God. The names and titles given to Jesus in Scripture provide a good description of God's love and mercy for mankind. Joseph G.

In urban Honduras, gun violence and assault form the pulsing backdrop of everyday life. This book examines the ways that young men and women in working-class neighborhoods of El Progreso, Honduras, understand and respond to gang and gun violence in their communities. Because residents rely on gangs and Catholic and Evangelical Protestant churches to mediate violence in their neighborhoods, these institutions form the fabric of society. While only a small fraction of youths in a neighborhood are active members of a gang, most young men must learn the styles, ways of communicating, and local geography of gangs in order to survive. Due to the absence of gang prevention programs sponsored by the government or outside non-governmental organizations, Catholic and Pentecostal churches have developed their own ways to confront gang violence in their communities. Youths who participate in church organizations do so not only to alter and improve their communities but also to gain emotional and institutional support. Offering firsthand accounts of these youths and how they make use of religious discourse, narrative practices, or the inscription of tattooed images and words on the body to navigate dangerous social settings, Jesus and the Gang is an unflinching look at how these young men turn away from perpetuating the cycle of violence and how Christianity serves a society where belonging is surviving. This book will appeal to readers with an interest in Latin American studies, urban anthropology, and youth studies. With its focus on the lives of young men and women, it’s also a compelling read for anyone interested in the plight of urban youth trying to escape the gang life.
