Book excerpt: Ask, "Who owns the Emerald Coast Zoo?" and you will be told that Rick and Sara de Ridder own it. Then ask them (or their children), "Who's zoo is it?" and they will all say that it is God's zoo!Rick's testimony is full of personal examples of how God has guided the process leading to owning this zoo. God has provided graciously every step along the way. It has been my privilege to help Rick and Sara with new signs for each animal at the zoo. I added as many Biblical references as I could for most of the animals. Then recently while I was part of a team of volunteers from Denver, I led devotions in front of a different animal each morning. That is when Sara suggested that perhaps we could produce a 30-day devotional together and make it available to guests who visit the zoo. This booklet with Sara's amazing design talent is the result of that dream.These daily devotions are short so that they can be useable even when life gets busy. After a busy day, we might want to take a few moments and reflect on God's Word. Or perhaps in the morning before a busy day might be the perfect time to stop and focus on God's Word. Martin Luther once said, "I have so much to do today, that I cannot possibly get it done without first spending a few hours in prayer." There are no written prayers at the end of each devotional like you might expect in a devotional. Rather, this booklet is designed to take just a few moments of time to read each day and hopefully spark some thinking and prayers from the reader.

Download or read book The Teachers of Spiritual Wisdom written by Duncan S. Ferguson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-05-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We call attention to the harsh reality that we are living in troubled times. We are especially conscious of climate change and COVID-19. We underline that these challenges impact all people. In light of this reality, we use ten primary questions that all human beings ask, consciously or unconsciously, and then amplify each of the ten primary questions with nine additional sub-questions. We then draw upon one of the great teachers of spiritual wisdom (Buddha, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, etc.) with a brief quote and then write a short “wisdom” response to the question. By “wisdom” we mean a body of accumulated reflection about the character and meaning of life. Spiritual wisdom suggests an outlook or attitude that enables us to cope, a deeper way of knowing and learning the art of living in rhythm with the soul. We use the life experience of three authors, coming from different religious and cultural outlooks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A generation of children grew up loving Marjorie Parker's devotions in Jellyfish Can't Swim, which feature the interesting habits and behavior of animals. Now those children have their own families, and they want to share her accessible understanding of God with their little ones. Since publication of the original volume, she has received so many requests for more devotions to help children know God through his amazing creatures that she has written a new volume. As they show young readers God's ability to work wonders in the animal kingdom and in their own lives, these devotions and charming illustrations suggest ways children can conduct themselves at home, at school, and at church in order to glorify God. With scriptures and prayers perfectly suited to a child's developing faith, Jellyfish Still Can't Swim will become a beloved family devotional for the next generation of believers.

Download or read book Special Religious Education in Australia and its Value to Contemporary Society written by Zehavit Gross and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-22 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the advantages of and challenges concerning Special Religious Education (SRE) in multicultural Australia and argues for the need for General Religious Education (GRE) as well. Through the lens of the most recent scholarship, and drawing on an in-depth qualitative study and specific case studies, the book examines the current debate on the role of religious education within government schools. It addresses key concepts of values education, spirituality, health and wellbeing, and cultural and religious identity. It analyses why it is important to retain SRE, together with GRE, as government policy. It explores highly relevant, controversial and contested issues regarding SRE, including the 30% of Australia’s population who declare themselves as having “no religion”, and brings fresh insights to the table. While secularization has increased in both the national and international spheres, there has also been an increase in fundamentalism within religious beliefs. Events such as the September 11 terror attacks and the more recent mass shootings by white supremacists and eco-fascists in Christchurch, New Zealand, and Pittsburgh and San Diego in the USA are reminders that religion is still a major actor in the twenty-first century. This poses new challenges for the relationship between church and state, and demonstrates the need to revisit the role of religious education within government schools. While the importance of GRE is generally acknowledged, SRE has increasingly come under attack by some researchers and teacher and parent bodies as being inappropriate and contradictory to the values of the postmodern world. On the other hand, the key stakeholders from all the faith traditions in Australia wish to retain the SRE classes in government schools. The book addresses this burning issue, and shows that it is relevant not only for Australia but also globally.
