Download or read book Biblical Spirituality written by Christopher W. Morgan and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2019-06-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is spirituality? For some, it means nothing more than vague self-improvement pulled from the latest best-selling self-help book. For others, it refers to some generic religious practice. Shedding life-giving light on what often remains ill-defined and unclear, this book sets forth a vision of biblical spirituality—“a renewed sense of the momentousness of being alive in God’s world as God’s people are led by God’s Spirit through God’s Word unto godly, Christlike character.” With careful exegetical work and theological reflection, the contributors—pastors and scholars such as Christopher W. Morgan, Paul R. House, Nathan A. Finn, and Gregg R. Allison—address spirituality from the perspective of the Bible, exploring topics such as the Trinity, divine sovereignty and human responsibility, the “already” and “not yet,” and the church. This book also addresses practical questions about spirituality related to the workplace, disciplines of the body, and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reinvention – 2.0 Edition is all about reinventing the existing you. The canvas of your life is always blank and you can paint a completely different picture than you ever painted before; your past does not equal your future. Our stories can either liberate us or detain us, depict us as hopeless victims or hopeful champions, feed us anguish or thankfulness. Life is monotonous; eliminate distractions and focus on the fundamentals of life by finding ways to experience joy in the mundane of life. The beauty of any reinvention is that even though it is difficult to start, the person you often become is even better and stronger than before. Everything in life is contagious—who you are with, the words you hear and read, the things you see, and the things you seek out to learn. Make sure you are infected with the secret special life-saving virus that propels you each day to live a better life than the day before. And, while reinvention is incredibly important—the ability to push yourself out of your comfort zone and into new territory is one of the most tried and truest ways of keeping people interested in who you are and what you’re doing. You are no longer defined by what you did or what someone did to you. Yesterday has been taken care of, and a wonderful tomorrow awaits you to rewrite your story, reshape your identity, redefine your outlook and rephrase what you say to life. Your new life is with you and the future is bright. Don’t look beyond the horizon, don’t get tempted—it’s just a ‘chimera’ you will never understand. Complex as it is, focus on what you have in life—reinvent yourself. Life is calling. Where are you! Go, claim your legacy—make a Magnum Opus of your life. Be the author of the 2nd edition of your life story—give it a name— Reinvention – 2.0 Edition.

Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
