Download or read book Light Beyond the River written by Janis Constable and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-08-18 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanity meets Sacred Wisdom meets story. A creative nonfiction message in a uniquely fictional setting. Light Beyond the River is an experiential read, and it is deeply contemplative, in the same breath. Join Lyra—nurse by profession and poet by passion—on the Spiritual Formation Odyssey of a lifetime. Newly retired, Lyra goes for a daylong walk to clear her head. She hikes in the woods near her home by the river. There, she meets a motley crew—seven Celtic mystical voices—animals, birds, and a fish—who teach her seven invaluable life lessons. Deeper themes—of becoming—of shining brightly—of encountering the Sacred—are artfully braided, interlaced, and woven. The ending, the coda, is unexpected—twisted. It will most certainly make you think! Come now and live vicariously in Lyra’s contemplative life. Immerse yourself in the depths of holy wonderment. Slowly, slowly, enter into every word. Lose yourself—find yourself—on a delightful Celtic Christian journey. Let curiosity drive you, let your faith guide you. May you be opened. May you be awed into the world of fine contemplative literature. Let Light Beyond the River nurture the Sacred in you. Amen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Luisa Cantú is a girl from a Sierra Madre mountain village.

Download or read book Selling Water by the River written by Shane Hipps and published by Jericho Books. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work, sex, ice cream, religion-they all promise fulfillment. But what they deliver is fleeting. Jesus knew about this quest. He came to show us that peace is possible in this life, not just the next one. Yet Christianity, the very religion that claims Jesus as its own, has often built the biggest barriers to him and the life he promised. Celebrated speaker and pastor Shane Hipps revives the faith with a fresh and persuasive understanding of the message of Jesus. The shocking truth is that Jesus proclaimed "eternal life" as a present reality that dwells within each of us. A transformative breakthrough, this book goes beyond "religion" or "spirituality" and cuts to the heart of our humanity and existence. It's about realizing that we already possess what we are searching for, and that the Heaven we long for isn't just a gift when we die, but a gift while we live.
