Download or read book Finding Freedom Through Illumination written by Cardwell Nuckols and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This deeply spiritual book will guide readers on a journey toward Realization of the Christ-consciousness that exists within each of us. In Finding Freedom Through Illumination, Dr. Nuckols divides the journey into three sections, each defining a part of the process that leads to Realization—the accumulation of more Light. Dr. Nuckols explains that, as we gather more Light, our worldview changes and we see the world differently, and while our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors change, we become more intuitive and begin to understand that all of life is an opportunity for spiritual growth. Step by step Dr. Nuckols illuminates the concept that Realization (sometimes called enlightenment, satori, kensho, samadi, or moksha) is about becoming one with our Creator. Every spiritual tradition, including Alcoholics Anonymous, Hinduism, and Buddhism, gives direction for spiritual growth—all change our worldview and all have been shown to enhance levels of spiritual consciousness. Spending time in silence, solitude, prayer, contemplation, and meditation allows for intuitive change that alters our worldview causing the defects of character of the narcissistic ego to melt away. Ultimately, this is freedom, this is illumination, and this is spiritual growth.

Download or read book Finding Freedom written by Ruby West Jackson and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2022-08-25 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2007, the groundbreaking book Finding Freedom provided the first narrative account of the life of Joshua Glover, the freedom seeker who was famously broken out of jail by thousands of Wisconsin abolitionists in 1854. This paperback edition reframes Glover’s story with a new foreword from historian Christy Clark-Pujara. Employing original research, authors Ruby West Jackson and Walter T. McDonald chronicle Glover's days as an enslaved person in St. Louis, his violent capture and escape in Milwaukee, his journey on the Underground Railroad, and his thirty-three years of freedom in rural Canada. While the catalytic “Glover incident” captured national attention—pitting the state of Wisconsin against the Supreme Court and adding fuel to the pre–Civil War fire—the primary focus is on the ordinary citizens, both Black and white, with whom Joshua Glover interacted. A bittersweet story of bravery and compassion, Finding Freedom provides the first full picture of the man for whom so many fought and around whom so much history was made.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If prayer is so important, why is it so difficult?" Starting from this universal question, Neil T. Anderson, bestselling author of The Bondage Breaker, explores how readers can intimately connect with their loving heavenly Father, looking at the confidence believers can have in taking their struggles before God—and in interceding for others their release from bondage and the freedom they gain to walk in the Spirit the gracious way God leads them to love Him, not His blessings Liberating Prayer emphasizes the life-changing truth that prayer is relationship, not ritual—and that as already-accepted children, believers are free to be honest with their Father. End–of–chapter questions are ideal for group study and help readers immediately apply what they've learned in their own prayer lives. Based on material previously released in Praying by the Power of the Spirit.

This book summarizes contemporary and cutting-edge research on religion in correctional contexts, enabling a scientific understanding of how prisoners use faith in their everyday lives.

It also addresses subject matter such as the roles of prison chaplains and correctional officers and the relationships between religion and common aspects of prison life, such as drug abuse, gangs, violence, prisoner identity, rights of prisoners, and rehabilitation.

Download or read book Finding Freedom written by Donna J. Stundahl and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2015-01-29 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you ever feel like youre wandering in a wilderness alone? Are you searching for the same freedom the children of Israel sought, only to find oppression at every turn? Are you looking for a life filled with promise, only to be repeatedly disappointed? You are not alone. We are all on a journey, from slavery to sin to the ultimate Promised Land in Heaven, where we will be free. Everything in between is a wilderness experience. Moses expounded on freedom in the wilderness. He explained exactly where to find it and how to get there. He clearly spoke to the Jew and the foreigner. The question is: Does He speak to the Christian as well? In her book Finding Freedom, Dr. Stundahl will wander through the wilderness of Deuteronomy and explore the Hebraic roots of Christianity. Finding Freedom reveals the concepts of the Torah, assembled in the same format in which they were studied by the Jewish communities since the Babylonian exile. These concepts include humility, idolatry, evil speech, teaching, learning, remembering and listening. The analysis of each portion of the Torah considers its applicability to the life of a Christian. As the history of Christianity and the Jewish elements of the Gospel are discovered, the shadows of Jesus Christ are revealed. Wherever you are in the wilderness of your life, you too can find the freedom intended just for you! Experience the reading, the writing, and the dance of the Torah.
