Book excerpt: I PRAY ANYWAY: Reflections for the Spiritually Cranky is a book of 200 short reflections of the author as she continues a kind of prayer practice that she developed at a time in her life that was challenging. The short reflections are funny and real and poignant. The book includes narrative entries where the author shares her life and thoughts. The book begins with comments from early readers, rather than with official blurbs. They answer questions about their own spiritual/religious orientation, background, present beliefs or practices, and what reading the I PRAY ANYWAY: Reflections for the Spiritually Cranky stimulated in each of them.I PRAY ANYWAY: Reflections for the Spiritually Cranky gives voice to the growing trend of formal religions of many faiths losing membership and interest in belief of any kind. It counteracts the stance of the "nones" (a term used in the Census) for those people not affiliated with any religion. The book encourages people to "pray anyway--in spite of ambivalence about God and faith, in spite of irritation with formal religion, and in spite of the dire circumstances of our times. The author implies that the energy and impact of prayer is needed no matter how it is practiced. She demonstrates this in her unique reflections.The back cover of I PRAY ANYWAY: Reflections for the Spiritually Cranky has a note from the author that says, "I share these reflections not as poetry or fine writing. I share them for the comfort I found writing them--with the hope that my raggedy truth will meet yours and comfort and soothe your crank soul too."The book has 252 pages.

Download or read book Pray Anyway written by Joe McKeever and published by . This book was released on 2019-10 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Don't call me an expert on prayer. I'm not sure anyone deserves that honor. I have two sisters and four brothers, three of whom are with the Lord in Heaven, as are our parents. For the sake of illustration, imagine one of us claiming to be an expert on communicating with Dad and Mom. The others would not let them get by with that. "What's so hard about that?" they would demand. "Mom and Dad are always there, they love us all equally, and they're always pulling for us. Anyone can talk to them " They would be offended at one claiming special privilege with our parents. So, let's not do that. Our Heavenly Father is not remote, not inaccessible, and not hard to talk with. He is far more willing to hear our prayers than we are to pray. Far more accessible than we are. More willing to bless than we are to receive His gifts. The problem is us. Not Him.

Download or read book Love Them Anyway written by Choco De Jesús and published by Charisma Media. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Love breaks through defenses and destroys walls that divide us. Love demands more of you and me than we often want to give. It’s easy to love a lovely person, but what about...them? What about that stereotype, that race, that person or group of people in a political, cultural, or socioeconomic class who don’t behave like you, don’t believe like you, and if you are honest...make you uncomfortable? What is love in this context? We read that Jesus broke boundaries to love the people that many detested. His love was transformative because His love saw past disagreement, indifference, and offense. Loving them? Like this? That’s hard. If you consider yourself a Christian, then love should be your primary characteristic. But it seems that division defines us in our society where rage and anger abound. Today, many people see Christians as angry followers of God who are more interested in winning political arguments than loving people. If we say we follow Jesus but are not loving like Him, then what’s the point? There is a better way. Using the incredible story of how Pastor Choco chose to “love them anyway” to transform the crime-ridden community of Humboldt Park in Chicago, Love Them Anyway will inspire you to love in a way you never have. This book will pave a compelling path for you to both express and experience a truly transformative love on a deep level. It will tap into your deepest desires, expose your hesitations, connect you deeper with God’s love, and help you take bold steps to love the people around you—and your love will change lives. When you learn to Love Them Anyway, your passion will be redirected, your purpose will be refined, and you will see God use you in ways you could never have imagined. Love is hard. It’s not convenient, and it’s not always safe. But love is beautiful. Love is contagious. It breaks through defenses and destroys walls that divide us. Love is the answer. So, love them anyway. Redirect your passion, refine your purpose, and see God use you in ways you never imagined.
