Book excerpt: Written as a concise handbook, this Practical Guide presents a novel paradigm for addressing the enduring questions of our existence, while providing a roadmap to the rational pursuit of spirituality in contemporary life. Approaching our spiritual development as one would any experimental science, Bahram Elahi, MD, describes the nature of the human soul, or self, through a series of original diagrams and functional analogies to medicine, psychology, and physics. In so doing, he introduces a new medicine of the soul that not only establishes how to nourish and develop the soul through the practice of correct divine and ethical principles, but also how to diagnose and treat its various ailments. Explaining the purpose of our presence on earth as the completion of the first stage in our spiritual development, he summarizes this fundamental work in three main points: examining and mending one’s faith, sufficiently developing one’s sound reason, and cultivating one’s humanity. Ultimately, this timely Practical Guide offers readers of all backgrounds an accessible roadmap to our spiritual journey that is adapted to life in modern society.

Download or read book Here Now One written by Terry Moore and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-21 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Here, Now, One Terry Moore has given us-whether we are experienced practitioners or comparative newcomers-an extraordinarily helpful guide to integrating spirituality into our daily lives. From within a Sufi paradigm, Terry's inspiring admixture of mysticism and sheer practicality can be used within the framework of almost any religion. Don't mistake this universality across cultures, doctrines and practices for a lightweight cherry-picking expedition, though. We are not being invited to leave the bits we don't like on the side of our plate, but we are being informed and guided by a wisdom garnered over years of study, exploration and practice. Terry shares the value of techniques and the philosophies that underpin them with an emphasis on the constant interplay between the inner life and the outer life. As Terry says: "My only interest here is in being of principial or practical help to my fellow travelers as we journey from our illusion of separativity to the reality of the One."

Download or read book The Spiritual Life written by Stephen J Schuler and published by . This book was released on 2020-07-29 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is for the frustrated Christian. Personal devotions are disappointing, and everything we hear at church sounds like "feel good" and "try harder." Something is missing in the life of the average Christian. What is missing is spiritual life. True spirituality is knowing God-directly, personally, intimately. This is the simple truth in which faith begins but which the Christian life can never exhaust. What average Christians are missing is an ever-growing and ever-deepening intimacy with God in our inner lives, especially in prayer. This growing intimacy with God is the essence of the truly spiritual life. This book lays out the path to genuine, biblical spiritual life. Part I examines the Tabernacle as the biblical diagram of spiritual worship and examines the requirements (repentance and willingness) for living the spiritual life. Part II shows how prayer is the entryway into spiritual living, and it gives practical suggestions for personal and corporate prayer. Part III surveys the cost and the benefits of living spiritually.

Book excerpt: Poet, philosopher, and cancer survivor Mark Nepo has been breaking a path of spiritual inquiry for more than forty years. In his latest book, the #1 New York Times bestselling author “writes reflectively and poetically about the lifelong spiritual journey” (Publishers Weekly). Called one of the finest spiritual guides of our time, Nepo explores what it means to become our truest self as we face life’s challenges—as well as its joys. Navigating some of the soul’s deepest, most ancient questions, he asks: How do we stay vital and buoyant amid the storms of life? What is the secret to coming alive? The soul’s journey is inevitable, and no matter where we go we can’t escape this foundational truth: What’s in the way is the way. As Nepo writes, “The point of experience is not to escape life but to live it.” Featured on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday program, and a key presenter in Oprah’s nationwide The Life You Want Weekend Tour, Nepo inspires each of us to discover who we were born to be.

Download or read book Monk Habits for Everyday People written by Dennis L. Okholm and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their zeal for reform, early Protestant leaders tended to throw out Saint Benedict with the holy water. That is a mistake, writes Dennis Okholm, in Monk Habits for Everyday People. While on retreat in a Benedictine abbey, the author, a professor who was raised as a Pentecostal and a Baptist, observed how the meditative and ordered life of a monk lifted Jesus' teachings off the printed page and put them into daily practice. Vital aspects of devotion, humility, obedience, hospitality, and evangelism took on new clarity and meaning. Paralleling that experience, Okholm guides the reader on a focused and instructive journey that can revitalize the devotional life of any Christian who wants to slow down and dig deeper.

Book excerpt: The perfect gift! A specially priced, beautifully designed hardcover edition of The Joy of the Gospel with a foreword by Robert Barron and an afterword by James Martin, SJ. “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus… In this Exhortation I wish to encourage the Christian faithful to embark upon a new chapter of evangelization marked by this joy, while pointing out new paths for the Church’s journey in years to come.” – Pope Francis This special edition of Pope Francis's popular message of hope explores themes that are important for believers in the 21st century. Examining the many obstacles to faith and what can be done to overcome those hurdles, he emphasizes the importance of service to God and all his creation. Advocating for “the homeless, the addicted, refugees, indigenous peoples, the elderly who are increasingly isolated and abandoned,” the Holy Father shows us how to respond to poverty and current economic challenges that affect us locally and globally. Ultimately, Pope Francis demonstrates how to develop a more personal relationship with Jesus Christ, “to recognize the traces of God’s Spirit in events great and small.” Profound in its insight, yet warm and accessible in its tone, The Joy of the Gospel is a call to action to live a life motivated by divine love and, in turn, to experience heaven on earth. Includes a foreword by Robert Barron, author of Catholicism: A Journey to the Heart of the Faith and James Martin, SJ, author of Jesus: A Pilgrimage
