Have you ever asked the question, "What am I supposed to be learning from this experience?" How can I leave this world a bit better than it was when I found it? Although written about his own experience battling depression, the book is meant for anyone embarking on a journey to know themselves and cultivate new friendships.

Metaphorically, Poole's porch represents how he either has or has not accepted changes in his life.

Download or read book The Porch and the Cross written by Kevin Vost and published by Angelico Press. This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Regardless of their sometimes ambiguous concepts of God, the Roman Stoic philosophers did acknowledge Him, but on the basis of reason alone, because they had not met Christ. Nonetheless, they did deduce from God's existence our need to live lives of virtue, honor, tranquility, and self-control--and they developed effective techniques to help us achieve this. Musonius Rufus the teacher, Epictetus the slave, Seneca the adviser to emperors, and Marcus Aurelius, the emperor himself, produced a practical technology we can use to integrate Christian ethics into our own daily practice. As Kevin Vost so wonderfully illustrates in his new book, The Porch and the Cross, the Stoics can help us learn--and remember--what is up to us, and what is up to God alone.

Book excerpt: There's a thought I've heard many times after someone's death. When we look at the dash on the tombstone, what does it say about that person's life? How did he or she spend "the dash" in between the years etched on the marker of his or her life? And what am I doing to change myself, my community and my world during my small portion of His great dash? How am I using the gifts He has entrusted to me to be a part of someone else's destiny? It's a big question. But here's what I know for sure: God placed me here in a specific time and place, with a chosen family, with a certain skill and gift set, and He expects me to use those gifts to make a difference every single day. And there's more. He expects me sometimes to go way beyond what I believe I can do; He needs me sometimes just to leap into His arms, trusting Him to catch me and equip me to do whatever He has in store. Do I always feel equipped? Oh no, but His Word promises that if we follow His call, He will give us what we need to accomplish His tasks in His timing. Scary? Not really if we indeed have the faith of a mustard seed. In fact, in Romans 12, we are told that God has distributed a measure of faith to each one of us, so we must put ourselves out there in complete trust. Jean Burden has written a timely and inspirational devotional, her third, called, "Reflections From the Porch: Life Lessons from Boggy Road. Many of the 40 inspirational messages are about her and her family's experiences on their farm on Boggy Road. Jean says, "I pray that this devotional book will encourage you to be courageous as you face life's challenges and make the "dash" of your life count for eternity!"

Book excerpt: "There is something spooky and resonant about liminal places like docks, shorelines, decks, and perhaps most commonly porches. Here, Charlie Hailey meditates on porches in a way that is appropriately thoughtful, affecting, rich, and resonant. Porches, in his hands, become portals onto an endless array of large metaphysical questions: what is it to be in a place? How does one place teach us about the world and about ourselves, both as individuals and as a species? What are we-and the things we have built-in this world? In a time when questions of what makes society society and what sustains the individual are so paramount, Hailey's meditations are both a tonic and a series of welcome provocations"--
