Kingdom Without Borders – The Untold Story of Global Christianity

Kingdom Without Borders – The Untold Story of Global Christianity

Miriam Adeney

Inter-Varsity Press,US
2009
nidottu
The twenty-first century has opened with a rapidly changing map of Christianity. While its influence is waning in some of its traditional Western strongholds, it is growing at a phenomenal pace in the global South. And yet this story has largely eluded the corporate news brokers of the West. Layered as it is with countless personal and corporate stories of remarkable faith and witness, it nevertheless lies ghostlike behind the newsprint and webpages of our print media, outside the camera's vision on the network evening news. Miriam Adeney has lived, traveled and ministered widely. She has walked with Christians in and from the far reaches of the globe. As she pulls back the veil on real Christians--their faith, their hardships, their triumphs and, yes, their failures--an inspiring and challenging story of a kingdom that knows no borders takes shape. This is a book that coaxes us out of our comfortable lives. It beckons us to expand our vision and experience of the possibilities and promise of a faith that continues to shape lives, communities and nations.

You'll learn about their lives, questions and hopes, as well as those of other Arab, Iranian, Southeast Asian and African sisters. And you'll gain new understanding of why Muslim women come to Christ. This book discusses aspects of everyday living such as; sex, marriage and family relations; the place of religion; finances; teaching and learning styles; women's diversity. Through vibrant real-life case studies you will learn strategies for relating to women like the ones described here. You will see what - and who - became the means of their understanding and responding to Jesus as Saviour and Lord. Miriam Adeney says, "Surely in the end what counts are the perennial necessities of mission: a human being witnessing, discipling and serving in the appropriate language." This is why she has written this enlightening book.

Re-Imagining Short-Term Missions

Re-Imagining Short-Term Missions

Miriam Adeney

Wipf Stock Publishers
2022
pokkari
This book is for those who suspect that current practices of short-term missions are in need of serious reform. It is a book for those who recognize that, in this decade of global upheaval--and in light of the cultural, political, and demographic shifts affecting churches everywhere--now is the time for change. The essays here are intended to equip and inspire any who want to advocate for change but may not yet know what change looks like. This book offers honest perspectives from people who care about the purposes of short-term missions (STM) yet know that we must figure out better ways of achieving them. Nearly all contributors are actively engaged in STM--and many write from the perspective of those who host STM teams in places all over the world. This book is a platform for visionaries who are calling for better ways for the church to engage the needs of the world. In sharing their experiences, they hope to promote critical rethinking and creative reimagination about the ways that the global church might learn to collaborate on a new basis of coequality and mutual respect--for the good of the world and the glory of God.

Wealth, Women & God*

Miriam Adeney; Sadiri Joy Tira

William Carey Library Publishers

pokkari
The Arabian Gulf-the wealthiest country in the world is located here, as is the world's busiest airport. Not many citizens are Christians. Not much religious conversion is allowed. Yet through migrant women, some of the most powerless people in the great sweep of human labor exchanges today, God's grace is at work. In this book you will find - primary research not available anywhere else, narrated in a highly readable style - globalization, diasporas, and massive culture change - Jesus women-maids, nurses, pastors-experiencing rape, jail, and the opportunity to mentor hundreds - a guide for group Bible study and reflection at the end of each chapter These Gulf women's stories, like those in the Bible, teach lessons that apply to us in many countries.

Is There Hope for Afghans?Everyone has heard of the Taliban, but how well do we know the Afghan people? The winds of change are blowing through Afghanistan, one of the hardest countries in the world in which to be a Christian. How can Afghans build trusting, vibrant communities of believers? What are the best practices in discipleship? Afghan Mountain Faith explores relationships, justice, and beauty in God's unfolding kingdom. These never-before-recorded accounts show Jesus's followers in their unique Afghan context. Their stories extend worldwide as Afghan fellowships arise globally, even though there is not a single church building inside their country. Miriam Adeney and Rashid Aalish delve into challenging issues of our time, including refugees, women's rights, US military missions of mercy, church planting, ethnic identity, suffering, lament, orality, and ethnodoxology. If you want stories, there are stories. If you want strategies, there are strategies. If you want to wrestle with systemic issues, that is here too. These reflections will provoke you to think and propel you to hope.

For all her eighty-six years, Miriam has found complete contentment in her relationship with El Shaddai, but when her brother Moses returns from exile proclaiming God's new name, Yahweh, troubling doubts plague her night and day. Respected as a midwife and for tending her aging parents, she is suddenly forced to submit to Moses and Aaron's leadership. And then Miriam, like the rest of Israel, endures the consequences of the first three plagues with the Egyptians: the bloody Nile, the frogs, the gnats/lice, without any hope or explanation of what is coming next. Miriam immerses readers into the amazing events that transpired in Miriam's life between the time she heard Yahweh's new name and when she led Israel's women in a victory dance across the Red Sea. This is the second book in The Treasures of the Nile series. - Publisher

In Jerusalem in 600 BC, Miriam is betrothed to Zoram, her lifelong love. He disappears on the same night that his master is murdered under mysterious circumstances, and Miriam is left confused and alone. In an effort to bring Zoram out of hiding, officials announce the eventual stoning of Miriam, calling her an accomplice. She is to be abused and tormented but not until dead, for the officials need incentive to draw out her betrothed. There is one thing that could save her, though: marriage to the odious Murdus, who holds her life in his hands. She refuses, and when Zoram never returns, Miriam is left to face death while wondering if she'll ever uncover the truth behind Zoram's permanent disappearance. Miriam is an inspiring story of a woman from Jerusalem who strives to take charge of her own life when faced with danger, death, and injustice. Underlying this dilemma is a story steeped in acts of pride, jealousy, and-ultimately-the power that forgiveness brings. Miriam's fictional story is based on a setting in the Book of Mormon, a canon in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. "Very believable. Miriam was easy and fun to read. I read it in less than a day." -Eva Bentley, Doctrinal Scholar "Hard to put down; well thought out; a very good read. Very plausible and logical in relating to the events as they were recorded. I liked the flavor, the narrative, the research. It had a feel of genuineness to it." -Owen H. Richardson, Author and Artist
