Download or read book As in the Heart So in the Earth written by Pierre Rabhi and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2006-06-06 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world’s leading expert on reversing soil desertification shows how ecology can flourish only when spiritual elements are present • Uses a parable from the African oral tradition to provide a living testimony of what has been lost with the rise of modern technology • Provides a vital account of the strong relationship between soil and soul and how this relationship can be restored As in the Heart, So in the Earth is a strong indictment of a civilization that, while seeking domination over the earth, mutilates, tortures, and desacralizes it. For Pierre Rabhi ecology is inseparable from spirituality. He shows how the growing desertification of North Africa is a reflection of the “desert” that is claiming the hearts and souls of the inhabitants of the Western world--how dead soil is mirrored in our deadened souls--and how reconciliation with Mother Earth must be accompanied by relearning our ancestors’ reverence for the soil. Using a traditional African parable grounded in the very wisdom of the earth, Pierre Rabhi seeks to initiate the reader into a time when the people that dwelled on this planet did so harmoniously and could converse easily with the land. Village elder Tyemoro recounts the gradual destruction of his village’s culture and all that has sustained it as the miracles promised by modern technology brought more harm than good. This same drama is recurring throughout the world, where indigenous value systems that have endured for millennia are torn apart by contact with modern civilization. Yet Rahbi offers hope--if those in the modern world will stop to hear the words of their ancestors who worked the land, for our destiny is linked irrevocably to that of the earth.

Download or read book Testimony written by Mark Zarr and published by Mark A. Zarr. This book was released on 2012-01-27 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever been disappointed by the church? Do you find yourself feeling as if you are on the outside looking in? For many of us church, religion, and even God seem to be unattainable. Whether we have been burned, never truly accepted, or lost in the sea of programs and church growth strategies, we all sense that something is off. Where is the Grace, Love, and Mercy that Christ came to share with us all? Miraculous stories abound of lives that have been turned around. But where is the proof of changed lives? At some point, shouldn't we see these transformations? The truth is that God's grace is for everyone. We have all fallen short, but that is only the beginning of our story. Only God's testimony is powerful enough to save us from ourselves. Our story should not be told in words, but should be lived and explored through our daily walk. We should not merely talk about grace, and mercy, and love, when we have been given the amazing gift, by Christ's death and resurrection, to show grace, mercy, and love. Our real testimonies are defined not by who we were, but by who we are willing to become.

Download or read book The Answer Within written by Mary Rose de Angelo and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-05-19 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Happiness is a choice but it does not come to us by copying others. Although we may learn much from each other, we each have a personal purpose which is the most special, and the most important thing we can do. By it we define and fulfill our purpose for our Life here in Time. When we copy others we are feebly attempting to live their life instead of our own and sometimes miss the mark of our own Becoming. The Purpose of our lives can only be discovered by going within our soul and Spirit where we are led to our Beginning and our Connection to All. The scars of our fall which led us to living our existence here in time have left us a legacy where we will do everything and anything we can to focus outside ourselves to avoid looking Within. Because we feel an all consuming guilt we neglect the very thing that will wash away all the guilt, help us discover our personal purpose and bring complete Happiness, Health and Joy. In my first book, Coming To Be, I try to show how it is necessary for us to erase the scars of our suppressions to become as healthy as we can be on the physical, emotional level. These scars are the things we were told about ourselves that led to restrictions of our growth because they put many guilt locks on our soul. That made us more afraid to go Within. So our focus is continually drawn away from discovering our true self. No matter how many churches or temples or mosques we build in an attempt to Know God, we continually focus on buildings and rites and the faults and errors of others in an attempt to avoid the very thing that will bring us complete, Peace, Joy and Love. In all cultures the prophets that have come to us within the various religions while seeking to lead us to the Truth have told us we must do so. The Middle Eastern Mystics spoke of becoming empty, the Christian directed us somewhat the same way. That is through Jesus and our connection to Him. We must go Within to find Him. His connection to us {DNA} as man also bought God to Us in His flesh but His Godhead is Spirit so we must go within to find Him. However, whenever we were taught a Word by the Prophets we constantly would add to their Word of Truth. By adding to the Truth we actually take away from its Essence and change it. Truth Lives in the Center of Contradiction. That is; the very Spirit of God Who lives in the Center of Truth, no matter the name we choose to call Him, It is One and the Same. Our guilt forever, takes us away from the Truth by our focus outside ourselves whether it is other religions, people, buildings or ceremonies, things, wealth or power. Yet the answer to All is to go Within. There we discover the Spirit of God waiting to show us who we are.

Download or read book With Love All Things Are Possible written by Anna Hartt and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2024-09-22 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our struggling world, we are responsible to bring God's love and Christ's light into a world that seems to have forgotten this task to foster more secular responses to the world's problems. Many of us try to do everything by ourselves and soon realize we cannot do much without God's help. This book speaks to real life issues that need our individual and national attention. The needs of our children, the sacrifices of the military, struggling families, the power of prayer, the importance of mission work, ubuntu possibilities to solve problems, core values in the Word, the value of Christian holidays, and the effects of COVID on ourselves, the nation, and the world. Fears and doubts are not answers to our problems, but all things are possible with love. With her own prayers, poems, and philosophies and various Biblical texts, the author encourages all to see that with Jesus Christ's love, light, hope, peace, and grace, all things are possible when we open our hearts to God and others. Creating a beautiful world for us, God gave us free will so that we might grow in the wisdom of His Word and laws. We must love one another and be Christ with flesh on. Anger, hatred, violence, and malicious words will not create a better world; only love can. COVID taught us that we "are" because of so many people. Americans and the nation have been given much, and with that abundance, much is expected of us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one can write about storytelling like Father Bill Bausch. Both his words and his stories are compelling, convincing, and completely absorbing. Here in this landmark work, which he insists is his last, his goal is to help readers see the centrality of stories, to read and hear Scripture as story and not as history, and to learn to enrich and expand their lives by looking at the ?story behind the story.? He wants to break readers out of the literalism that constricts their spiritual and social lives, so they might gain an appreciation of metaphor and symbol and the ?sacramentality? of the world.
