Download or read book How the Light Gets In written by Pat Schneider and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-25 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "'When I begin to write, I open myself and wait. And when I turn toward an inner spiritual awareness, I open myself and wait.' With that insight, Pat Schneider invites readers to contemplate their lives through spiritual observation and exploratory writing. In seventeen concise thematic chapters that include meditations on topics such as fear, prayer, forgiveness, social justice, and death, How the Light Gets In gracefully guides readers through the philosophical and spiritual questions that face everyone in the course of meeting life's challenges. Praised as a 'fuse lighter' by author Julia Cameron and 'the wisest teacher of writing I know' by the celebrated writing guru Peter Elbow, Pat Schneider has lived a life of writing and teaching, passion and compassion. With How the Light Gets In, she delves beyond the typical 'how-to's' of writing to offer an extended rumination on two inner paths, and how they can run as one. Schneider's book is distinct from the many others in the popular spirituality and creative writing genre by virtue of its approach, using one's lived experience--including the experience of writing--as a springboard for expressing the often ineffable events that define everyday life. Her belief that writing about one's own life leads to greater consciousness, satisfaction, and wisdom energizes the book and carries the reader elegantly through difficult topics. As Schneider writes, 'All of us live in relation to mystery, and becoming conscious of that relationship can be a beginning point for a spiritual practice--whether we experience mystery in nature, in ecstatic love, in the eyes of our children, our friends, the animals we love, or in more strange experiences of intuition, synchronicity, or prescience.'"--Provided by publisher.

Download or read book Habits of Grace written by David Mathis and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2016-02-12 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christian life is built on three seemingly unremarkable practices: reading the Bible, prayer, and fellowship with other believers. However, according to David Mathis, such “habits of grace” are the God-designed channels through which his glorious grace flows—making them life-giving practices for all Christians. Whether it’s hearing God’s voice (the Word), having his ear (prayer), or participating in his body (fellowship), such spiritual rhythms of the Christian life have the power to awaken our souls to God’s glory and stir our hearts for lifelong service in his name. What’s more, these seemingly simple practices grant us access to a host of spiritual blessings that we can only begin to imagine this side of eternity—and the incredible joy that such blessings bring to God’s children today.

Book excerpt: A guide for teens and young adults on the power of creative journaling and its role in enhancing self-discovery and self-awareness • Provides encouragement for creative writing, self-expression, and self-dialogue • Includes journaling exercises to inspire creativity and cultivate self-esteem • By the author of Teen Psychic and The Thundering Years, winner of the 2002 Independent Publisher Book Award for multicultural juvenile nonfiction Most teens and young adults search for ways to express their individuality and to discover who they are, without being judged.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darling was once asked in her thirties: "What is stopping you from having a friendship with God?" She was stunned - a friendship with God? Her heart had trouble connecting with religion and her life was caught in the briars of addiction. But in hearing that question, she suddenly found hope. Not knowing where it would lead, she picked up a pen and began to journal daily. Now in her sixties, Darling is still amazed at how journaling - and this simple timely question - changed the trajectory of her life, as each had arrived in a moment of spiritual bankruptcy and a door through which she escaped a meaningless future.

Download or read book My Spiritual Journey 2019 written by Alyce-Kay Ruckelshaus and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-05 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journaling has long been regarded as a helpful spiritual practice. This journal combines spiritual journaling with the benefits of bullet journaling. It's a great place to work through things with the Lord, carry out your devotions, record what you're learning and your growth, practice spiritual disciplines, and keep a record for future inspiration and reflection, as well as something to pass down to future generations ... without becoming overwhelmed! The way this journal is laid out for you will make it a lot easier. This is a Christian dotted bullet journal with some of the setup work done for you. Titles are entered on many pages to guide you and include monthly pages for: Monthly summary, a spiritual goal for the month, a character quality to work on, a Scripture for the month (perhaps to memorize), Bible reading summaries, prayer, ways you need to grow (things God reveals to you), victories, gratefulness, serving, ways others have poured into you, ministry ideas, wisdom God has given (perhaps through Scripture reading, through experiences, during prayer, through others, through sermons), things you may want to share with others, as well as blank pages (with dots) at the end of each month to use for anything you want (sermon notes, artwork, ideas, etc). Each month also features a hymn for the month with plenty of room to write thoughts or make designs around it. There is an index area at the front, as well as a place to summarize the year when it's finished. Some blank (dotted) pages are available at the end. While these headings have been provided, the rest is completely up to you. You can be minimalistic and just write in it. Or you can use it as a worshipful artistic outlet, decorating and personalizing the pages in whatever way you wish. I personally suggest using washi tape on the edge of the first page of each month, so you can easily find the month you want to work on or look back at. Roomy margins allow space for extra notes, creative design, or prophetic artwork. There are many videos and articles online with tons of ideas for ways to use bullet journals and spiritual journals. Watch one or a few and use these as a springboard to make this journal your very own. This would be a great gift, and would be perfect for homeschoolers. It's available with 12 different covers. Look for the other listings. You can find instructional videos explaining each feature of the journal on my website: http://thresholdofhineni.com/ Click on "Journals." You can also use these journals to make it into more of a guided journal experience. My plan is to release a new journal each year, which will build on the previous year's journal. The theme this year is helping you establish your spiritual journaling practice. If you have any questions, comments, or requests for features in future journals, I'd be delighted if you'd contact me through my website, where you can also find links for subscribing to my newsletter and possibly offers for free books or other materials. My hope is that this journal will help you draw closer to our precious Lord and enable you to have a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him. Hineni, Alyce-Kay Ruckelshaus Ephesians 3:20
