The Apologies From a Repentant Christian series is the continuing story of a Christian pilgrim’s walk personified. Part I tells of an unrepentant sinner who surrendered her heart to God, embraced His forgiveness for her sins and received her new identity in Christ. Part II tells of the next stage of this Christian’s walk: a new believer faces rejection, spiritual battles, and learns how to live in a corrupted temple of flesh.

Many people wonder, “Is Jesus Christ even real?” For 38 years, I wondered too! I called myself a Christian because I wore a cross, prayed to God and attended church regularly. Yet, I lied, gossiped, and judged others without mercy. I misrepresented my God with my behavior, attitude, and words. Such was my life. In my prayers, I asked God to use my life to glorify Him but was ill-prepared for the response. I was arrested and charged with a felony! In deep and dark despair, I turned to Jesus Christ for help. He was there to save me, as I sorrowfully repented for my past sinful behavior.

Three words that sum up D. L. Moody's life are passion, vision, and devotion - for God!

Watch out for how he used a pony to get children to church. One life devoted to God really can change the world.

Change and conflict are often feared in churchesbut they don't need to be. When we learn to see these difficulties as normal, healthy parts of being a community, it is much easier to navigate them with a minimum of anxiety and bad behavior. We are able to let go of our fears and face change and conflict as catalysts for moving forward in the mission of showing God's love and justice to the world. In fact, there is no way to move forward in mission without change and conflict.

The Beatitudes illustrate the ways of God. With genuine faith, true Christian disciples willingly embrace what many choose not to experience out of fear, conformity, or slothfulness. And in return for their desire to magnify God’s glory in a darkened world, God blesses them with His presence, peace, comfort, and encouragement, culminating in an abundance of heavenly joy! Oh, the joy that comes from living out the Beatitudes!

The Septuagint (or "LXX" ) is the Greek version of the Old Testament. It is a translation of the Hebrew Old Testament and certain Apocryphal books, which was written in the late third century BC by the order of Ptolemy II Philadelphus, the king of Ptolemaic Egypt (283 BC to 246 BC). Alexander the Great had spread Greek influence and language throughout "the known world" and the Jews of the area were losing their Jewish roots and tongue. This Greek translation was created for use by the Alexandrian Jews who were fluent in Koine Greek, but were no longer fluent in Hebrew.

L'étonnant fortune de cet ouvrage, œuvre de piété chrétienne de la fin du XIVe siècle ou du début du XVe siècle, tient du prodige. Longtemps, dans les monastères d'Europe aucun livre n'eut pareil succès, ce qui fit dire à Fontenelle : ""L'Imitation de Jésus-Christ" est le plus beau livre qui soit parti de la main d'un homme, puisque l'Evangile n'en vient pas". Au cours des siècles, l'influence de l'Imitation de Jésus-Christ ne s'est pas démentie.

R.A. Torrey was one of the few men who lived his life to the very hilt for Jesus. He was friends with D.L. Moody, helped pioneer the Moody Bible Institute, and wrote extensively on prayer and the Holy Spirit. However, he didn’t just write about these things out of theory, or simply from studies of the Bible texts; he wrote out of experience. He was a man of prayer and a man who had an incredibly close relationship with the Spirit of the Lord. These truths poured out of him onto the pages of his books, and have touched countless lives over the generations.

Au dire de l'auteur, son livre "L'enfance de Jésus" n'est pas le troisième tome de son étude magistrale sur Jésus de Nazareth, mais bien "une porte d'entrée" dans les deux autres tomes.
