Download or read book Practices of Love written by Kyle David Bennett and published by Brazos Press. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiritual disciplines are often viewed primarily as a means to draw us closer to God. While these practices do deepen and enrich our "vertical" relationship with God, Kyle David Bennett argues that they were originally designed to positively impact our "horizontal" relationships--with neighbors, strangers, enemies, friends, family, animals, and even the earth. Bennett explains that this "horizontal" dimension has often been overlooked or forgotten in contemporary discussions of the spiritual disciplines. This book offers an alternative way of understanding the classic spiritual disciplines that makes them relevant, doable, and meaningful for everyday Christians. Bennett shows how the disciplines are remedial practices that correct the malformed ways we do everyday things, such as think, eat, talk, own, work, and rest. Through personal anecdotes, engagement with Scripture, and vivid cultural references, he invites us to practice the spiritual disciplines wholesale and shows how changing the way we do basic human activities can bring healing, renewal, and transformation to our day-to-day lives and the world around us.

Download or read book Signs of Love written by Renzo Bonetti and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-25 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Through the iconography of ordinary marriages, Bonetti shows us how married love, the 'great mystery' St. Paul writes about in Ephesians 5, can make us present to the very heart of the church itself. To understand the Trinity, he says, we should look to the lives of Christian couples as they reenact Jesus' self-sacrifice at Calvary. Through its powerful examination of church sacraments - baptism, confirmation, forgiveness, Eucharistic union, and last rites - Signs of love shows us that these 'outward, visible signs of inward visible grace' are not just for Sunday but, when incarnated in the life of the married couple, vital tools for discipleship and evangelization."--Publisher.

This book began as her personal journal, her own attempt to discover her place in the world through analyzing experiences, relationships, and spiritual encounters. It evolved into a book—and then the beloved Hablando Sola brand with more than 2,100,000 Facebook likes—full of thoughtful questions and meaningful reflections that has inspired and uplifted hundreds of thousands of young people in Latin America. Now the book that has sold more than 200,000 copies in Latin America is available in English, coinciding with the brand’s expansion into the United States as Talking to Myself. Zacarías guides readers on their own self-discovery journeys through simple, accessible musings and anecdotes. “How do you learn to love yourself?” she asks and then continues, “I think it’s impossible if you don’t know who you are.” The ensuing chapters include Love, Fear, God, Art, Beauty, Depression, Happiness, and more, tackling a wide range of subjects with one goal in mind: helping readers to better know themselves, that they might better love themselves. This book comes alongside you like a big sister who’s been there and done that and can impart her wisdom between warm hugs and a few laughs. It will be of special interest to the 54 million Hispanic Americans in the United States because of Zacarías’s following in Latin America, but its honesty, warmth, and wisdom will give it broad appeal, particularly to young women.

Download or read book The Pangs Of Love written by Jane Gardam and published by Abacus. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With her customary accuracy, Jane Gardam reveals the extraordinariness of ordinary people as she deals with the pangs of love- fulfilled or hopeless, sexual or spiritual, tortured or hilarious- in these eleven stories. Paraded here are ladies with a 'thing' about vicars, strange events happening in ornate downstairs lavatories (and in ornate upstairs ones), and the English abroad, desperate and dotty. The glum and impossible Edna haunts the supermarket- and dispenses an unlikely kiss of life. The younger sister of Hans Christian Andersen's Little Mermaid declares her sibling 'very silly' and turns her story on its tail, an old maid forms a curious liason with a tramp, and small moments of temptation fill hotel rooms as histories glance briefly off each other.
Download or read book Every Day with Jesus written by Greg Laurie and published by Charisma Media. This book was released on 2024-07-26 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doing the same thing every day can make it seem common or ordinary. But there is nothing even remotely ordinary about a daily encounter with Jesus Christ. Walking with the living Son of God through the ups and downs and ins and outs of daily circumstances doesn't just add value to life; it completely transforms it. Seeking and finding God in the course of a normal, three-dimensional day adds a fourth dimension: eternity. In the pages of God's Word we begin to grasp an eternal perspective that changes everything we experience. It isn't like getting a new pair of glasses; it's like getting a new pair of eyes. For well over thirty years through his teaching, preaching, and numerous books, Greg Laurie has been leading people into the adventure of knowing Christ and understanding the Bible. The readings in this book will kindle a new or renewed hunger to spend time in God's Word--and empower you to experience the life of His Son.
Download or read book My Revelations of Love written by Fabian D. Falls and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-10 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As indicated in the title, this is a study in the historical evolution of the major faiths of mankind and their religious beliefs. It is not a study to prove who is right and who is wrong. As such it certainly has a different approach to the subject. The layout of the subject may not depict the usual traditional approach observed in religious works, but it certainly preserves its true historical background. This work, therefore, is mainly historical in its essence. The subject matter of this discourse is not only interesting but it is also informative and educational. When we talk about the history of mankind we also talk about the origin and the development of their religious beliefs, their culture and the social values of their life. Theology, a critical study of religious ideas, a dogmatic approach, has often, in past, been a source of divisions among the people of diverse beliefs and cultures. This planet would have been a much better place to live in, for all human beings, if man had learned to appreciate and respect the religious and cultural beliefs of the people different than those in which he had been brought up. Rather then finding differences and keeping alive hatred and dislike for other faiths and beliefs he would have done better if he had understood the common purpose that exists behind all faiths. Much has been said and written about the conduct of people who in the name of religion have de-stabilized the world peace. The dangers of such religious polemics are evident in many areas of our planate. In the pluralistic world of today no one faith has the monopoly of the Truth. People are Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists or Muslims out of their sincere convictions. Endowed with the gift of intellect, and historical inheritance, people have chosen different paths and ways in their search for the Truth. We all eat the food grown in the same soil, drink water from the same springs and breathe the air from the same atmosphere. Even while holding to our own religious views, there is no reason why we can not respect and appreciate the beliefs of the others. An old Japanese saying goes like this: "There are many paths at the foot of a mountain, but the view of the moon is the same at the top." I would consider myself rewarded if, through this work, I can arouse enough interest in the minds of my readers to know and appreciate the fundamental teachings of all religions, namely the understanding of God, the Creator of this Universe, and Man's relationship with Him.
