Download or read book Happiness in This Life written by Pope Francis and published by Random House. This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A collection of homilies, speeches, and “messages of the day” that brings together Pope Francis’s wisdom on finding happiness in the here and now For Pope Francis, the appreciation of our everyday lives is a spiritual undertaking. Joy is a divine attribute, and creating joy around us an essential part of faith. Every homily and speech in this book delivers, in warm, engaging language accessible to believers and nonbelievers alike, a key lesson, instructing readers on finding love and happiness in a chaotic world. Along the way, Pope Francis discusses the sanctity of women’s rights, talks about how the love of sports can bring out our best qualities, and explains why fighting discrimination is the essence of loving thy neighbor. He shares personal stories and anecdotes from his life, provides comforting messages of hope, and discusses the ways flawed families can make you a better person. The core ideas of Francis’s papacy—mercy, support for marginalized people, and diplomacy—shine through. Praise for Happines in This Life “Though the title of the book mentions happiness, this collection of thoughts addresses something much deeper—joy. Bringing together excerpts from Pope Francis’s sermons, speeches, prayers, and addresses, these pieces address a range of themes, from mercy and humility to simplicity and family. . . . Readers will be encouraged to clear away the cacophony of modern society and embrace the simplicity of joy. A book as loving and encouraging as the man himself seems to be.”—Booklist “With this wide-ranging collection of writings, homilies, and addresses, the current pontiff dispels any notion that religious practice is dour and antiquated. . . . It brings together the pope’s most affecting passages to inspire Catholics (and those of other faiths) to lift up those around them.”—Publishers Weekly “Reminiscent of the gentle encouragement of the Dalai Lama . . . Family-centered and practical—especially on difficult matters of familial contention—these homilies are, on the whole, gentle encouragements to do the right thing. . . . [This] collection offers clear insight into the pope’s doctrinal concerns.”—Kirkus Reviews

Download or read book The Fifth Gospel written by Bobby Conway and published by Harvest House Publishers. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “There are five Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John…and the Christian. But most people never read the first four.” There are any number of books on how to do evangelism. This book is different—it’s an invitation to actually live out the message of the gospel. Jesus’s original intention was for ordinary people like you and me to live lives that point others to the only Person who can give them hope for this life as well as the next—to visibly display the Good News of salvation through the Messiah and Redeemer of humankind. But many Christ followers today are either ridden with guilt for not telling others about Jesus or so silent that no one really knows they’re a Christian. The Fifth Gospel will help you wrestle with the critical issues involved in living out your faith in front of a watching and sometimes not-so-friendly world. Isn’t it time to become a witness for the One you profess to love? Prepare yourself to represent your Savior well and to discover a new way to do evangelism. Get ready for God to unleash the gospel through you!

Download or read book There Is No Escape but That S a Good Thing written by Dan Costello and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a spiritual manual of mind tools designed to move the reader past obstacles to their peace, joy, and especially, self-realization. This technology allows for not only a more fulfilling life but a better world. The audience will be brought to the book in many ways. Some will come from desperation from the circuitous suffering caused by trying to be fulfilled in the world of form, and some will come from curiosities and the spark of desire. The audience level is anyone who is willing to challenge and move beyond previous thinking into newness. They must be willing to entertain abstract thought and have eyes and ears open for love. The main points are that, if we allow for the incorporation of spiritually based tools, we can achieve a peace beyond this world and possibly become a conduit for its extension on earth.
