Найти книгу: "From Gethsemane to Pentecost"

From Gethsemane to Pentecost is an eight-week Bible study for small groups or individuals. Drawing from the study of history, archaeology, literary studies, and the original languages, this in-depth look at the inspired texts of the Gospels and Acts provides a one-of-a-kind walk down the Via Dolorosa, from the Garden of Gethsemane, to Calvary and a borrowed tomb, to the wind and fire of Pentecost. On the way, you will gain both insights into the texts and practical lessons to apply to the Christian life.

Combining personal stories and sound scholarship, Paul Alexander, a young scholar with a Pentecostal background, examines the phenomenal worldwide success of Pentecostalism. While most other works on the subject are either for academics or believers, this book speaks to a broader audience. Interweaving stories of his own and his family's experiences with an account of Pentecostalism's history and tenets, Alexander provides a unique and accessible perspective on the movement.

After solving a string of murders and getting used to living with a snarky ghost, Gethsemane Brown tries to rest easy. But, in this second book in the series, her roomie disappears, her landlord decides to sell her cottage to a developer, and her brother-in-law comes to visit. The ever-resourceful African American musician and expatriate scrambles to call her spectral roomie back from beyond and to find a way to save the cottage from destruction, but those concerns take a backseat when her brother-in-law is accused of stealing a valuable antique. In order to try to save him, Gethsemane strikes a deal with an investigator to go undercover and snoop for evidence of a forgery/theft ring. But while snooping, she accidentally conjures the ghost of an eighteenth-century sea captain, ends up the prime suspect for a murder, and-as she races to untangle a web of phony art and stolen antiques to exonerate both herself and her brother-in-law-the killer targets her…

With few other options, African-American classical musician Gethsemane Brown accepts a less-than-ideal position turning a group of rowdy schoolboys into an award-winning orchestra. Stranded without luggage or money in the Irish countryside, she figures any job is better than none. The perk? Housesitting a lovely cliffside cottage. The catch? The ghost of the cottage's murdered owner haunts the place. Falsely accused of killing his wife (and himself), he begs Gethsemane to clear his name so he can rest in peace. Gethsemane's reluctant investigation provokes a dormant killer and she soon finds herself in grave danger. As Gethsemane races to prevent a deadly encore, will she uncover the truth or star in her own farewell performance?
