Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.

Download or read book Living Your Jesus Reality written by Erich Fuls and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-03-14 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Living Your Jesus Reality penned by author Erich Fuls presents that Jesus in Person came to reside in every born again believer. Jesus lives here on earth in believers to implement the words and works of Almighty God. The author grapples with these questions: Why does the world not see Christ fully alive in – and active through – Christians? Have Christians taken Christ out of Christianity? The book flags that Christianity is dead apart from Christ living in His people, and He Himself transforming the world through them. Readers will be challenged to discover, meditate and implement the truth that every believer is supposed to live from, through and to Jesus alive in them. The sharp shooting and compact style of the 60 essays and poems gives much food for reflection in every section without a long reading requirement. This book is for everyone who wishes to know why there is such a glaring discrepancy between what Jesus prepared and promised for all, and what one sees in Christian circles today. Furthermore, this book is for all Christians who are hungry to know and show Jesus in their everyday life, for real. Every Christian who is tired of a fake, self-based, religious and ritualistic Christianity and seeks revival in his own life will get much blessing from this book. Christians who want to live from, through and to Jesus Christ in Person here within them need to read this book. Faithfully following the Biblical teachings of this book will reveal God Jesus in Person in God’s children, and in action from within them.

Book excerpt: In these never-before-published stories, sayings, and biblical teachings, the beloved author and translator of The Message Bible shows us how the wisdom of deep faith helps us live well. “Calming, encouraging, and profound.”—Matt Chandler, lead pastor of The Village Church “Jesus’ words bring us the news of an expanded world, a bright world, a full-dimensioned world, a world in which God rules, mercy is common experience, and love is the daily working agenda.” Eugene H. Peterson (1932–2018) was one of the most beloved authors, pastors, poets, and professors of our time. While millions have read his bestselling paraphrased Bible translation, The Message, far fewer have heard his direct practical insights and wisdom about how to live well. Eugene knew the extraordinary spirituality of ordinary life. He understood that we actually become more, not less, human as we grow to live like Jesus. And living like Jesus means living well. On Living Well collects some of Eugene’s best never-before-published short writings to help you walk in the way of Jesus with a little more courage, passion, and hope—by offering new ways to practice generosity, community, prayer, simplicity, worship, inner peace, and so much more . . . even with the challenges of today. This book is a rich feast for the soul, ideal as a daily spiritual touchpoint or simply to nourish a heart hungry for pastoral wisdom. It is your invitation to enter into the meaningful simplicity of life with Jesus in a world of immense beauty, real difficulty, and endless wonder.

His longing for God ignited a ferocity in his soul.” Encounter the multifaceted life of one of the most influential and creative pastors of the past half century with unforgettable stories of Eugene’s lifelong devotion to his craft and love of language, the influences and experiences that shaped his unquenchable faith, the inspiration for his decision to translate The Message, and his success and struggles as a pastor, husband, and father.
