Most of us don't realize we are in the midst of a battle and have no idea what the end goal of this life actually is. Majority of us have been misled by the lies of our culture. And all of us have asked the question, "How am I going to deal with this?" or made the statement, "I'm just not motivated at the moment." As a Church, as Christians, and as followers of Jesus Christ we so often forget, as we all desperately search and scramble for what we want and need in this life, that all those desires we are chasing can be found in the same place and are given by the same person. "Fill Your Cup for Christ" takes you on the spiritual journey of an everyday sleepwalking cradle Catholic who was searching to get more out of his faith life. Kramer Soderberg--through stories, strategies, and some in your face coaching tactics--helps his readers grow in their relationship with Jesus, enhance their understanding of Catholic Church teaching, and ignite the desire to become the saint God is calling all of us all to be. Simple, genuine, and easy to read, "Fill Your Cup for Christ" is a life-changing book for Christians in all stages of life!

Download or read book The Journeyman Life written by Tony C. Daloisio and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Path to Being a Better Man Many modern men are consumed by anger, frustration, aggression, and fear. We are unable to connect effectively as a spouse, a father, a friend, and even a leader. We push people away, lash out at those we love the most, and keep our inner struggles to ourselves. This disjunction from the outside world poisons our relationships and threatens our ability to find true fulfillment. But there is a path to a better version of the modern man. By confronting the inner challenges that inform our outward behaviors, we can reshape ourselves. With help and courage, we can set off on a new journey toward better relationships, more honest and effective communication, and an overall better life. Tony C. Daloisio harnesses over thirty years of professional experience as a practicing psychologist and researcher, as well as his own personal journey, to illuminate the road to a well lived life. The path—and the journeyman—will never be perfect, but the journey itself will lead to lasting positive change for ourselves and for our loved ones.
Download or read book Poverty and the Quest for Life written by Bhrigupati Singh and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2015-04-06 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Indian subdistrict of Shahabad, located in the dwindling forests of the southeastern tip of Rajasthan, is an area of extreme poverty. Beset by droughts and food shortages in recent years, it is the home of the Sahariyas, former bonded laborers, officially classified as Rajasthan’s only “primitive tribe.” From afar, we might consider this the bleakest of the bleak, but in Poverty and the Quest for Life, Bhrigupati Singh asks us to reconsider just what quality of life means. He shows how the Sahariyas conceive of aspiration, advancement, and vitality in both material and spiritual terms, and how such bridging can engender new possibilities of life. Singh organizes his study around two themes: power and ethics, through which he explores a complex terrain of material and spiritual forces. Authority remains contested, whether in divine or human forms; the state is both despised and desired; high and low castes negotiate new ways of living together, in conflict but also cooperation; new gods move across rival social groups; animals and plants leave their tracks on human subjectivity and religiosity; and the potential for vitality persists even as natural resources steadily disappear. Studying this milieu, Singh offers new ways of thinking beyond the religion-secularism and nature-culture dichotomies, juxtaposing questions about quality of life with political theologies of sovereignty, neighborliness, and ethics, in the process painting a rich portrait of perseverance and fragility in contemporary rural India.
Download or read book Fathered by God written by John Eldredge and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2009-04-20 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age when fathers are more important than ever, how do you embark on your journey to manhood and know how to steer clear of the dangers along the way? In Fathered by God, New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge reminds us that there's a path to masculinity and, best of all, there's a loving Father ready to help us follow it. In Fathered by God, Eldredge calls men back to a simple and reassuring truth: God is our Father, and he wants to show us what masculinity really means. Eldredge teaches us that there's a path leading to authentic manhood, cut by generation after generation of men. There are perils along the trail, even disasters--all the more reason to rely on the guidance of a Father who has gone before us. A boy has a lot to learn in his journey to becoming a man, and it takes the active intervention of father figures and the fellowship of other men to guide us along the way. Eldredge shares that in all of life's trials and triumphs, God is initiating boys and men through the stages of manhood. Through personal stories and practical guidance, Eldredge provides a map through the six stages of a man's journey and answers some of the most common questions about manhood that he's received over the years, including: How can I set a good example for my son? What does the Bible teach us about masculinity? How can I become the man that God designed me to be? Fathered by God maps out the path of manhood--not more rules, not another list of principles, not formulas, but a well-worn path that men have followed for centuries before us. Discover the truth about masculinity and become the man that God sees in you.
