Download or read book A Window to the Divine written by Zachary Hayes and published by Saint Mary's Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition of A Window to the Divine presents a summary of developments on a number of basic questions pertaining to creation theology and what a synthesis might look like at this time. It is based on the premise that contemporary believers can sense a remarkably rich communication of the divine mystery through the insights of science, and that the sciences may open even richer and more challenging possibilities to the understanding of our tradition. "Our tradition is rooted in the belief that however the universe may look empirically, it is precisely this universe described to us at the empirical level by the sciences that our faith holds to be the fruit of God's creative knowledge and love. It is my hope that these reflections may help us discover in what sense this universe may truly be seen as a window to the mystery of the divine." --from the preface to A Window to the Divine

Download or read book Soul Windows Secrets from the Divine written by Susan Z Rich and published by eBookIt.com. This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Description: "Why is this happening to me in my life now?" As an intuitive counselor, holistic therapist, motivational speaker and author, Susan Z Rich was asked this universal question many times. One day she had to ask herself the same question after diagnosed with stage four-breast cancer. She made the life changing decision to heal her self naturally without any chemotherapy or surgery. From her own personal healing experience and years of counseling others, Susan Z Rich identified a pattern of divine communication between the dreaming soul experiencing a life and the Divine coach within. Life cycle signals that opened an anomaly called Soul Windows. Through the author's own life experiences and her clients, it gave her the insight to write Soul Windows -Secrets From The Divine, a poetic narrative book on common sense spirituality and how to own your life choices. Being happy in life, spiritual or feeling connected to the Divine is not only about prayer, angels, mystical beings, a punishing or rewarding God, a heaven to ascend to or hell to be afraid of. It should not depend on something outside of yourself to feel whole, safe, loved or valued by a goal that always seems to be just out of your reach. God is not out there, life is not out there and we should not be looking out there for it: God and everything else is within us. Our life journey was not designed to be experienced with a beginning or an ending of a promised goal or reward. It is completely about experiencing the emotions of everything until the feeling of being separate from Oneness is no longer a reality the soul believes in. Susan Z Rich inspires the reader through humor and a "get over yourself" narrative to help you understand how to embrace the power of your free will choices. She introduces many successfully proven life-changing tools to help you stay in control of that relentless Inner Child's (emotional needs) desperate demands at all cost. Showing you how our Divine self uses Soul Windows to help the dreaming soul unfold its written life script. The inner Divine self guides the soul as a spiritual Life Coach through all the aging life cycles. Susan Z Rich writes: It is my hope Soul Windows will help you to understand you are in charge of your own life script and this book will give you some useful information with a few powerful learning tools to use. You write your own life script, live it, get assistance along the way and hopefully accomplish your journey the way you planned it. With a little luck, some new beliefs and a healthy dose of divine inspiration, my book just may assist you in experiencing this life journey with more joy and enlighten you with a few "Aha, that makes so much sense" moments. Helping you to find your "Muchness" and to let your "God Sparkle" shine within!

Download or read book Divine Wisdom written by Jeremiah Spencer Forson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-02-23 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Truly divine wisdom is the greatest treasure in heaven and on earth and that is what this book explains. Each human heart seeks for a precious treasure and the Holy Scriptures teaches us to store up for ourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. Because where our treasure is, there our hearts will be also. Divine wisdom is more precious than rubies, gold, silver and diamonds and nothing we desire on earth can be compared with her. It is said that even if there is a perfect man on earth, without divine wisdom he would be considered as nothing. Wisdom’s purpose is for self- management, family management, administering the people of God and to govern the earth. Therefore, wisdom is the kingdom, and the kingdom is wisdom, because the desire for wisdom is the way to acquire a kingdom and the desire for the kingdom is to honour and receive wisdom. Wisdom is for rulership and those who get hold of her will govern nations and rule over people, and the Lord will reign over them forever.

Download or read book Old Testament Cosmology and Divine Accommodation written by John W. Hilber and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-04-03 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to reconcile the discrepancies between ancient and modern cosmology, confessional scholars from every viewpoint on the interpretation of the early chapters of Genesis agree that God accommodated language to finite human understanding. But in the history of interpretation, no consensus has emerged regarding what accommodation entails at the linguistic level. More precise consideration of how the ancient cognitive environment functions in the informative intention of the divine and human authors is necessary. Not only does relevance theory validate interpretative options that are inherently most probable within the primary communication situation, but the application of relevance theory can also help disentangle the complexities of dual authorship inherent in any model of accommodation. The results also make a salutary contribution to the theological reading of Scripture.

Download or read book Daily Reflections on Divine Mercy written by John Paul Thomas and published by My Catholic Life!. This book was released on 2016-03-17 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Daily Reflections on Divine Mercy" was written to provide an awakening to the abundant Mercy of God. It offers daily reflections and prayers to help deepen the day-to-day faith life of every Catholic so that you can understand the abundance of Mercy poured forth from the Heart of our Savior as it is revealed in the writings of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska. "Divine Mercy in My Soul: Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska" is soon to become a classic spiritual book that everyone is encouraged to read in their lifetime. However, many find this invitation intimidating, not just because of the width of her book, but because of the depth of its message on The Divine Mercy in each of Saint Faustina’s notebook entries. This book, "Daily Reflections on Divine Mercy," was written with the hope of guiding you through Saint Faustina’s Diary and her six notebooks of reflections. It can be used on its own to help you pause and reflect on the beauty of Jesus’ messages to her, or as a companion book, as you simultaneously read Saint Faustina’s Diary. "Daily Reflections on Divine Mercy" offers 365 daily teachings, reflections and prayers based upon the pages of Saint Faustina’s Diary. The structured way to use this daily reflection book is to do just that…reflect upon one page each day. However, some may feel called to skip around a bit, read a few reflections at a time, or return to a particular reflection through which God spoke to you. Therefore, though this book was written with the intent of providing one reflection for each day of the year, the best way to use it is any way you feel called and the way that benefits your relationship with God the most. The first paragraph for each day offers this author’s insights to the words and teachings of Saint Faustina. The section of her Diary used for the day’s teaching is marked so that the reader can also read her Diary first hand so as to see the primary source that the author of this book took inspiration from for that day’s reflection. Though the primary text of the Diary is never quoted, nor are the reflections of this book exact representations of the Diary, they do provide the foundational basis for the spiritual message shared in each reflection. The second paragraph for each day offers a short reflection put more as a question to the reader. It offers the same insight in a different format so as to enter more deeply into the message of the day. Finally, each daily reflection ends with a prayer focused upon the message and reflection for that day. The reader is encouraged to pray this prayer several times. Ideally, it is prayed first thing in the morning, again during the day, and again at night as an examination on how well the daily message was received. As you seek to survive the world we live in, allow these pages to be a font of Mercy for you from God. Allow God’s Divine Mercy to penetrate your heart so that you will know the abundance of His love and be more prepared to share that love with others.

Download or read book Death is Divine written by Osho and published by Fivestar. This book was released on 2024-05-02 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DIE, O YOGI, DIE! What a wonderful statement! He says die, disappear, be completely obliterated. DIE, O YOGI, DIE! DIE, SWEET IS DYING. Because in this universe there is nothing sweeter than death. DIE THAT DEATH and die such a death GORAKH DIED AND SAW, die that way in which Gorakh attained enlightenment. In the same way you die and see. One death we are already familiar with: in which the body dies, but our ego and mind go on living. This same ego finds a new womb. This same ego, troubled by new desires, again starts off on the journey. Even before leaving behind one body, it is already eager for another. This death is not the real death.

Download or read book Divine Generosity and Human Creativity written by David Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-02-22 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partly in a desire to defend divine freedom and partly because it is seen as the only way of preserving a distinctive voice for theology, much contemporary theology has artificially restricted revelation and religious experience, effectively cutting off those who find God beyond the walls of the Church. Against this tendency, David Brown argues for divine generosity and a broader vision of reality that sees God deploying symbols (literary, visual and sacramental) as a means of mediating between the divine world and our own material existence. A sustained argument for divine interaction and more specifically the ways in which God speaks in the wider imaginative world, this volume calls for a careful listening exercise since symbols are richer and more open in their possibilities than their users often suppose. Not only is this true of the imagery of Scripture, even inanimate objects like buildings or hostile but creative artists can have important things to say to the believing Christian. An ideal introduction that also moves the conversation forward, this volume addresses foundations, the multivalent power of symbols, artists as theologians and meaning in religious architecture.

Download or read book The Divine Chase written by Ben Bounds and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2017-12-08 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God is passionately pursuing you. There is a notion in our world that we must find God, that it is on our shoulders to search for a hidden God. If God had not or does not reveal himself, we would not even know that there is a God. He is self-revealing and on a mission to provoke a response in us. He pursues us in three fundamental ways. First, the act of creation itself is an incredible act of pursuit by God. He is the Creator-Artist, with his masterpiece in mind, and we are part of the tapestry of creation. Second, the act of inspiring a book, the Bible, to codify his message demonstrates God as divine author pursuing us through his written Word. Finally, the act of the incarnation is the crowning act of pursuit. Christ, the incarnate Son of God, is on a mission to rescue the love of his heart. It is the perfect fixing the broken, the highest becoming the lowest, the resurrected lifting the dying from the very grave. Gods pursuit of us takes place on his dance floor, his universe, his masterpiece. His pursuit unfolds throughout history on our battlefields, in our crucibles, and through our worst trials. He brings the scars of his cruciblethe crossinto our crucibles and rescues us. In responding to our pursuing God we find our greatest healing.
