Book excerpt: Falling in love is one of life’s greatest joys. So imagine the endless joy of falling head over heels for God. Falling in love is one of the most magnificent experiences of human life. Remember what it feels like? How it happens? You spend time with that special someone, get to know each other, and then one day find yourselves so intimately connected it is as though your souls have become intertwined. Compare that experience with your current relationship with God. Why doesn’t it feel just as passionate, just as wonderful? Gary Moon believes it can. If you’re not head over heels in love with God, you’re missing out on an incredible experience–but you’re not without hope. Falling for God will inspire you to pursue a passionate, intimate relationship with a God who–even though he doesn’t need anything from you–wants more than anything to be united with you. Through Bible study, personal meditation, and classic spiritual exercises, you’ll discover how to experience this loving connection with the lover of your soul. The journey will take you through honest conversation and active communion to a deeper experience of intimate union with God. Falling for God will move you to embrace an all-out passion for joyful and abundant living.

Download or read book Kept by the Power of God written by I. Howard Marshall and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2008-12-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a very controversial subject which disturbs many people. οIf you do get disturbed it will be because of the emotion usually surrounding the subject of "eternal security." οIf you get upset it will NOT be caused by the manner in which Dr. Marshall has presented the subject. It is the contention of the author that there is biblical truth in both the Calvinistic and the Arminian position concerning this volatile subject, and that each camp should candidly recognize the value of the other's positions. John Wesley once wrote, "The truth of the Gospel is within a hairsbreadth of Calvinism." Quite a concession for the chief spokesman of Arminianism! Dr. I. Howard Marshall echoes the contention of Wesley, and then goes even beyond it. "The full Arminian position is as much open to error as is extreme Calvinism. My aim is to reach beyond the Calvinist-Arminian controversy to a position which is biblical."

Book The Good and Beautiful God

Download or read book The Good and Beautiful God written by James Bryan Smith and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2009-12-14 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 250,000 Sold Worldwide! "God wants me to try harder." "God blesses me when I'm good and punishes me when I'm bad." "God is angry with me." We all have ideas that we tell ourselves about God and how he works in our lives. Some are true—but many are false. James Bryan Smith believes those thoughts determine not only who we are, but how we live. In fact, Smith declares, the most important thing about a person is what they think about God. The path to spiritual transformation begins here. Turning to the Gospels, Smith invites you to put your ideas to the test to see if they match up with what Jesus himself reveals about God. Once you've discovered the truth in Scripture, Smith leads you through a process of spiritual formation that includes specific activities aimed at making these new narratives real in your body and soul as well as your mind. At the end of each chapter you'll find an opportunity for soul training, engaging in spiritual practices that reinforce the biblical messages on your mind and heart. Because the best way to make a complete and lasting change is to go through the material in community, small group discussion questions also accompany each chapter. This deep, loving and transformative book will help you discover the narratives that Jesus lived by—to know the Lord he knew and the kingdom he proclaimed—and to practice spiritual exercises that will help you grow in the knowledge of our good and beautiful God. The Good and Beautiful Series includes four essential discipleship books from James Bryan Smith. Work through these proven Bible study resources individually or with a group to learn who God is, what it means to be a Christian, how to live in community, and how to address toxic self-narratives that hinder spiritual growth.

Book Falling into Grace

    Book Details:
  • Author : John Newton
  • Publisher : Church Publishing, Inc.
  • Release : 2016-04-01
  • ISBN : 0819232629
  • Pages : 161 pages

Download or read book Falling into Grace written by John Newton and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus was quite clear that we must lose our life before we find it. This book gives a hopeful and realistic look at what losing our life entails, articulating how “growth” in the Christian life is not our ascent to God but the process by which our eyes are opened to the beauty God has already given to us. It is a book about descending into God, and into our own inner depths, about the deep waters of the Christian faith. “Put out into the deep and let your nets down for a catch.” (Luke 5:4) We live in a world that values productivity and success, and we vainly imagine that God expects us to be spiritually productive and successful, too. It doesn’t matter how much we talk about grace, our conversation is often narrowly focused on what we need to do for God—so much so that we often block the work God longs to do in us. This book does not articulate God’s work as a process by which we become spiritually strong, but rather as the process by which we embrace our weakness as the place where we most fully experience God’s perfect strength (2 Corinthians 12:9).

Community is more than just a word--it is one of our most fundamental requirements. So how do flawed, abnormal people such as ourselves master the forces that can drive us apart and come together in the life-changing relationships God designed us for?

You'll get a thought-provoking look at God's heart, at others, and at yourself. Even better, you'll gain wisdom and tools for drawing closer to others in powerful, impactful ways.

Book Fall to Grace

  • Author : Jay Bakker
  • Publisher : Hachette UK
  • Release : 2011-01-12
  • ISBN : 0446574120
  • Pages : 119 pages

Download or read book Fall to Grace written by Jay Bakker and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2011-01-12 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jay Bakker explores the radical, transformative, and inclusive message at the heart of Jesus's message: grace. If anyone ever had a reason to leave the faith, Jay Bakker did. The son of mega-televangelists Jim Bakker and the late Tammy Faye Messner, Bakker was only 11 years old when his parents' PTL ministry was caught in a high-profile accounting fraud scandal, and his family was devastated by his father's affair and his parents' subsequent divorce. A disillusioned Bakker turned to drugs and alcohol and left his childhood beliefs behind. But along the way, an interesting thing happened: Bakker came to understand, through all his pain, what God's grace was really all about. FALL TO GRACE re-envisions the true nature of grace and what it means in everyday life. With disarming humility, poignant observations, and spot-on theology, Bakker challenges Christians to reassess their understanding of salvation and invites non-believers to see Jesus with fresh eyes.

  • Publisher : Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
  • Release : 2017-11-10
  • ISBN : 9781516861460
  • Pages : 186 pages

Download or read book Romancing the Divine written by Michael Dunn and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael Henry Dunn's spiritual journey began with heartbreak and a call to monastic life. But a deep conviction that one can be in love with the Divine - passionately, romantically in love - and still find sweet and fulfilling human love as well, led him to seek and find intimacy with the ultimate Soul Mate. Romancing the Divine is Dunn's deeply moving, intensely personal account of a love affair with the Source of Life: the Goddess who is also God. With honesty and humor, Dunn reveals the personal crisis that led to his spiritual awakening, his experiences meditating and chanting in the company of saints and illuminated souls, and the paths and techniques you can use to share in his love. What Dunn experienced (and continues to experience) transcends any one religion. He found commonality in his divine love with Indian yogis and Western nuns and discovered inspiration from Christian monastics and the chants of the kirtan yogic tradition. His is an unabashedly romantic love story centered on the Divine Feminine and filled with joy, passion, and a spiritualized and purified erotic energy. To love the Divine is to discover a lover who, according to Dunn, is "seductive beyond thought of competition." It's a love we all deserve.
