Download or read book Gentle and Lowly written by Dane C. Ortlund and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.

Book excerpt: In this book, visual and poetic emblems of God’s love, created by Otto van Veen and Jeanne Guyon, symbolically represent spiritual meaning and, as such, offer a gift of revealed strength and purpose to the aware reader. In our age, when love seems almost forgotten, this emblem book uniting Guyon’s poetry and D’Othon Vaenius’s illustrations give us a faithful look into what might be.

Translated into English for the first time here, these emblems of divine love become available to postmodern readers.

Download or read book I Love to You written by Luce Irigaray and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-04 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, one of the foremost contemporary scholars in the fields of feminist thought and linguistics, explores the possibility of a new liberating language and hence a new relationship between the sexes. In I Love to You, Luce Irigaray moves from the critique of patriarchy to an exploration of the ground for a possible inter-subjectivity between the two sexes. Continuing her rejection of demands for equality, Irigaray poses the question: how can we move to a new era of sexual difference in which women and men establish lasting relations with one another without reducing the other to the status of object?
Download or read book The Four Loves written by C. S. Lewis and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Four Loves is a 1960 book by C. S. Lewis which explores the nature of love from a Christian and philosophical perspective through thought experiments. The book was based on a set of radio talks from 1958 which had been criticized in the U.S. at the time for their frankness about sex. C.S. Lewis examines storge or empathy love; philia, friendship love; eros, romantic love; and agape, or God love. Excerpt: "GOD is love," says St. John. When I first tried to write this book I thought that his maxim would provide me with a very plain highroad through the whole subject. I thought I should be able to say that human loves deserved to be called loves at all just in so far as they resembled that Love which is God."
Download or read book Essential Spirituality written by Roger Walsh and published by Turner Publishing Company. This book was released on 2000-09-01 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Essential Spirituality beautifully articulates the benefits of spiritual living in the material world."-Dan Millman, author, Everyday Enlightenment and The Way of the Peaceful Warrior "Deceptively simple. Its power is rooted not only in Dr. Walsh's formidable intellectual capacity to deal effectively with a vast body of religious literature but in his own deep spiritual practices in a multitude of disciplines over many years. An important contribution."-Ram Dass, author, Be Here Now "An absolute masterpiece . . . Essential Spirituality is helpful to both the unseasoned and seasoned seeker. The writing is deep, simple, and clear yet at the same time poetic and musical. A must read."-GERALD G. JAMPOLSKY, M.D. author, Love Is Letting Go of Fear "Energetic, engaged, and occasionally electrifying. . . . The field of spiritual books has been looking for its own Lewis Thomas or Carl Sagan, and I believe Roger Walsh may be that one."-KEN WILBER, author, One Taste and A Brief History of Everything Based on over twenty years of research and spiritual practice, this is a groundbreaking and life-changing book. In his decades of study, Dr. Roger Walsh has discovered that each of the great spiritual traditions has both a common goal and seven common practices to reach that goal: recognizing the sacred and divine that exist both within and around us. Filled with stories, exercises, meditations, myths, prayers, and practical advice, Essential Spirituality shows how you can integrate these seven principles into one truly rewarding way of life in which kindness, love, joy, peace, vision, wisdom, and generosity become an ever-growing part of everything you do.
Download or read book Divine love written by Emanuel Swedenborg and published by Youcanprint. This book was released on 2018-11-12 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That this is little comprehended is evident from the common saying “What is love?” What it is, is not known for the reason that love is not manifest to the understanding, and the understanding is the receptacle of the light of heaven. What comes into that light is interiorly seen, for what a man thinks, that he has knowledge of? For this reason, a man says that this or that is in the light of his understanding, also that he sees this to be so; likewise, he prays that he may be enlightened and illumined by God. Moreover, there is spiritual light to which natural light corresponds, and it is from this that one says, with reference to his understanding, that he sees. and a wise man prays to be enlightened and to be illumined by God, that is, that he may understand. Man, therefore, can form no idea concerning love, for this reason, that although the understanding, by means of the thought, presents itself to be seen, love does not. And yet love is the very soul or life of thought, and if love be taken away thought grows cold and dies, like a flower deprived of heat; for love enkindles, vivifies, and animates thought. Set your mind at work and consider whether you can think apart from some affection that is of love; and you will find in your own case that it is impossible. From this it is plain that love is the life of the understanding and of thought therefrom; and what is the life of the understanding and of thought therefrom is also the life of the whole man; for it is the life of all the senses and of all motions, thus the life of the organs by means of which senses and motions exist. That it is also the life of the rest of the viscera, will be seen in what follows.

They reveal information such as: the realities of the spirit and soul universe; the qualities and attributes of the Creator; laws of Divine Love and natural Love; qualities of Absolute Truth; understanding the human soul, spirit body and mortal body; soul progression on earth and in the spirit world; spiritual laws such as the law of compensation and the law of attraction; the two paths of spiritual development as first presented by Jesus in the first century, each path resulting in the purification of the soul, but only one path resulting in eternal progression, complete emotional bliss and immortality. The major theme of the basic principles governing the reception of Divine Love by the human soul is also covered.
Download or read book Love Divine written by Jordan Wessling and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-06 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love Divine provides a systematic account of the deep and rich love that God has for humans. While the associated theological territory is vast, the objective is to contend for a unified paradigm regarding fundamental issues pertaining to the God of love who deigns to share His life of love with any human willing to receive it. Realizing this objective includes clarifying and defending specific conclusions concerning how the doctrine of divine love should be approached, what God's love is, what role love plays in motivating God's creation and subsequent governance of humans, how God's love of humans factors into His emotional life, which humans it is that God loves in a saving manner, what the punitive wrath of God is and how it relates to God's love for humans, and how it might be possible for God to share the intra-trinitarian life of love with human beings. As the book unfolds, the chapters interlock and build upon one another in the effort to trace nodal issues related to God's love as it begins in Him and then spills out in the creation, redemption, and glorification of humanity--a kind of exitus-reditus structure that is driven by the unyielding love of God.
Download or read book Gleams of Divine Love written by D. G. Watts and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-08-09 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an account of a dumb California kid awakening to the reality—the spiritual presence and power—of divine Love. It's a story that includes successes and failures. It's a record of learning humility and patience while God was breaking through the dullness of the human mind to reach the author with Her saving Christ ... and teach some difficult lessons, a couple of which may evoke a bit of controversy. Gleams of divine Love is universal in its outlook, and free from denominational reference, bias and jargon. Starting with MOVING OFF THE FENCE, and GETTING OUR SOIL RIGHT, it illustrates the need for individuals, who wish to make spiritual progress, to not be paralyzed by indecision—our need to commit to going forward, in whatever discipline we might be interested in. Also examined are some of the wrong reasons for joining, or remaining in, a religion . . . and what types of personal assessment are most beneficial for making true headway. In DOES GOD HAVE A HAIRY CHEST?, and EVOLUTION: A FORK IN THE ROAD, the author shares his understanding of God . . . including a lively collection of examples. THE JESUS OF THE GOSPEL OF JOHN gives some interesting new insights into Jesus' essential character—and that of the New Testament as a whole—while WHAT IS COMMUNION? looks deeply into the author's subjective experience in learning to worship, adore and feel the presence and power of God, infinite Spirit, divine Love. SATISFYING OUR NEED FOR AFFECTION, COMPANIONSHIP & SEX is an unflinching, Scriptures-based rebuke to misogynistic and anti-LGBT thinking, taking to task, for example, questionable teachings of Matthew's and Paul's . . . and bringing out Divine Love's Twelve Quelles About Sex (pronounced "k-VELL-es", after the German) (more about these can be reviewed at the book's website — 'gleams-of-divine-love dot info') . . . . . . while the closing LIVING THE MAXIMUM LIFE discusses important healings and lessons the author has experienced, which have led to some rather striking conclusions. All told, GLEAMS OF DIVINE LOVE brings the reader into a vigorous consideration of spiritual reality, and gives an uplifting sense of God's nearness.
Download or read book The Affection of Love How to Invoke an Influx of Spiritual Good written by Clayten Tylor and published by Clayten Tylor. This book was released on 2022-10-05 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an advanced guide to spiritual regeneration, the transformation of sensual energy to spiritual love, and then into divine, creative power in preparation for the experience of eternal life. It describes the transition from selfish to selflessness with its resulting benefits of an increased feeling of happiness. It prepares the physical body by the process of right-eating in order to perceive the spiritual body as the sensation of being blessed, which is necessary to perceive the sensation of the soul that comes through the benefits of right-thinking. The book takes us on an inner journey from the transition of our selfish sensation of separateness to the birth of conscience with its painful reevaluation of life, into the restitution needed to enter the higher vibrations of Divine love. The journey is not for the weak, but each step strengthens the will-power that increases our affection of love and enables us to forgive and move forward to unite with the higher self in a pulsating feeling of heavenly love. The realization is of our Divine nature in a momentary experience that lasts forever as we learn to transition into our eternal self as a feeling of Oneness. This journey is humankind's destiny, which enables each of us to enter into an inner sanctuary that we create as our testimonial to the Great Work of being more than human, of being Divine.
