Cross Roads Devotional

The collection of essays presented in “Devotional Cross-Roads: Practicing Love of God in Medieval Gaul, Jerusalem, and Saxony” investigates test case witnesses of Christian devotion and patronage from Late Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, set in and between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, as well as Gaul and the regions north of the Alps. Devotional practice and love of God refer to people – mostly from the lay and religious elite –, ideas, copies of texts, images, and material objects, such as relics and reliquaries. The wide geographic borders and time span are used here to illustrate a broad picture composed around questions of worship, identity, religious affiliation and gender. Among the diversity of cases, the studies presented in this volume exemplify recurring themes, which occupied the Christian believer, such as the veneration of the Cross, translation of architecture, pilgrimage and patronage, emergence of iconography and devotional patterns. These essays are representing the research results of the project “Practicing Love of God: Comparing Women’s and Men’s Practice in Medieval Saxony” guided by the art historian Galit Noga-Banai, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the historian Hedwig Röckelein, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. This project was running from 2013 to 2018 within the Niedersachsen-Israeli Program and financed by the State of Lower Saxony.

Should I send my kids to public school, or homeschool them with my own family's values? Should we attend the church mission trip or take the kids to their soccer tournament? Should I go out with my co-workers after work or go home to make dinner for my husband? Every day our lives are full of choices, from the mundane "what's for dinner" to the more life altering decisions of taking a new job or moving to a new city. Deane Groseclose learned years ago that it's impossible to make these decisions alone. At each crossroads we come to, if we face those decisions with God by our side, we are much better equipped to do what's right for ourselves, our family, and our future. The devotionals published in "God at the Crossroads" reflect Deane's own personal relationship with God, and her need for His instruction and help navigating the choices and struggles of daily life. Through her own study, she hopes to pass on inspiration to others who are yearning for guidance in daily living and especially for a deeper relationship with Christ. This book contains 100 devotionals to help guide you through daily meditation and spiritual practice. They are grouped into three categories, starting with God's Character. Learning about who God is and how He has been a part of human history provides a foundation for our faith. The second part contains devotionals centered around Finding Hope. Even when we might be in a dark time, through scripture and faith in Christ we can find a way to move forward. The third part, Living Fulfilled, contains devotionals that address the issues to arise during daily life and helps the reader find God in all things.

The chase was over. In April 1969, nineteen-year-old Jerry Shepherd stares in his rearview mirror at the two policemen approaching his car. He wants to run, make his escape, perhaps his final escape from life. Then he curls his fingers around the small Bible in his back pocket as the words Peace be still whisper through his head. He holds to those words as he steps from the car to handcuffed and arrested. Angels at the Crossroads is the compelling true story of Shepherd's amazing journey from wrongdoing to redemption. Convicted of a crime he can hardly believe he could have committed, Shepherd faces life in prison and fears not only that he won't survive behind bars, but also that he has stepped beyond the hope of prayer or forgiveness. His parents say no as they cover him with fervent prayers, but Shepherd must find his own way through the jungle of prison life to the people - earth angels - who can help him discover God's love knows no limit. On this pilgrimage to self-acceptance, Shepherd learns to forgive the past and completely and unconditionally love again. If you face a crossroads in your life, Shepherd's inspirational journey may help lead you down a new pathway to a life filled with compassion and love. Visit author Ann H.

When you have a decision to make, are you sure you’re asking the right questions? This forty-day devotional will help you think about where you want to be, who you want to be, and what you should be doing. Most importantly, it will help you learn more about who God is and how He is working in your life. As you read, you’ll consider questions such as: • Which way does God want you to go? • How do you know if you’ve made the right choice? • What is the best option right now? • What are the best options in the future? The author observes that when we must make a big decision, we come to a “burning bush” moment (see Exodus 3), where God tries to get our attention and speak to us. The right decision must be one in which we move forward with Him, seeking to do His work in the world. This is not a journey to ask God to bless any decision but a journey that will help you submit everything to God (Proverbs 16) and answer His call.
