Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LORD JESUS, I WANT TO SEE... Every day, the news and our personal encounters reveal we desperately need character building and moral guidance. Political correctness has tossed moral character aside in favor of appearances, charm, glamor, fame, social status, and possessions. For Father Peter Vu, this shift revealed that people today are hungry to be spiritually fed and nourished. He wrote this Prayer Book to help you develop and maintain a personal relationship with God. This Prayer Book appeals to our 21st century culture, yet it is deeply rooted in the Scriptures and Christian tradition. It provides short, easy reading each day, with a daily scripture, reflection, prayer, and resolution. This Prayer Book helps you focus on qualities that make you feel strong and good about yourself and your faith in our challenging world. Fr. Vu gives you a spiritual exercise each day to help you work on positive personal qualities. Each day’s devotion gives you a sense of prayer and helps you work on being faithful, kind, caring, gentle, generous, peaceful, and loving. In this Prayer Book, you will find a specific word or issue associated with each day, as well as a practical exercise to help you put your faith into action.

Book excerpt: Lord Jesus, I Want to See... is a weekly prayer book to help children and families begin their week right, and encourages them to work on concepts of friendship, faith, love, generosity, forgiveness, and thankfulness. Today's youth are in desperate need of character building and moral guidance; this is key in creating good citizens and a healthy society for the next generation. Unfortunately, due to political correctness and other social trends, moral character and wholesome virtues have taken a back seat to superficial pursuits -- appearance, charm, glamour, fame, social status, and possessions. We must demand and encourage the children of this great nation and its future generations to work on and acquire the qualities and moral characteristics that help them achieve well-being and happiness. Lord Jesus, I Want to See... recognizes that gone are the days that we can demand and require our children to memorize and recite all the traditional prayers. After twenty plus years of service to God's Children, in parishes and seminary, the reflections I share above have culminated in a new format of praying and prayer. The lessons shared are rooted in Holy Scriptures, daily topics, personal experiences, character-building, and practical spiritual exercises. This devotional book is designed to be self-reflecting, easy reading, and guide each child to work on what is truly important while spending time in the presence of Jesus. Rev. Peter G. Vu

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.
Download or read book Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart written by J. D. Greear and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for ‘amount of times having prayed the sinner’s prayer,’ I’m pretty sure I’d be a top contender,” says pastor and author J. D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. “Lack of assurance” is epidemic among evangelical Christians. In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of present- ing the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of “asking Jesus into your heart” or “giving your life to Jesus” often gives false assurance to those who are not saved—and keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality. Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation? Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: LORD JESUS, I WANT TO SEE... Watch the news, and you can see the world desperately needs moral guidance. With political correctness ruling the day, moral character and positive personal attributes have taken a back seat to appearance, charm, glamor, fame, social status, and possessions. Unfortunately, children no longer memorize Traditional Prayers. But spending time with God is one of the most important things a Christian can do. This Weekly Prayer Book helps children and families begin the week on the right note. Each of the 52 devotions includes a Scripture, a discussion, and a promise related to a specific attribute such as friendship, faith, love, generosity, forgiveness, and thankfulness. By spending time discussing Scripture, we can encourage children to embrace and reflect Christian virtues for their well-being and happiness. Having seen the needs of God’s children and their families during twenty years of service to parishes and ten years in seminary, Rev. Peter G. Vu has designed this devotional rooted in Holy Scriptures, daily topics, personal experiences, character-building, and spiritual exercises. Each weekly entry is self-reflecting, easy to read, and helps children grasp Christian qualities while spending time with Jesus. Rev. Vu hopes that our Lord Jesus will heal our spiritual blindness and help us see our lives with a better vision. May we also grow closer to Him and acquire wonderful personal qualities each day as we work to become better Christians in our challenging world. A portion of the proceeds from book sales will benefit the American Red Cross and the Catholic Relief Services, in addition to other charities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have seen how the Science and Technology sectors have put lots of time and resources into their Research and Development to come up with new ways to improve and advance their businesses and our modern way of life. Following their thinking, I want to do the same for our Spirituality sector. I want to come up with a new way of prayer that is simple, personal, relate-able, character-building, and suitable to the busy lives of twenty-first-century Christians. I have also looked at various ways we have dealt with exercise for our bodies. Physical exercises designed for specific functions like Zumba, Yoga, or Abs work have inspired me to come up with a Spiritual exercise that could give people a sense of prayer, and at the same time help them work on some specific attributes such as faith, kindness, caring, gentleness, generosity, peacefulness, etc. Hence, I have chosen the format of this prayer book with a specific word or issue for each day throughout the year and a practical exercise. Each day we have seen on the news and in various personal encounters how the public is in desperate need of character building and moral guidance to help create good citizens and a healthy society. Unfortunately, due to political correctness and other social trends, the moral character and virtues have taken a backseat to other qualities such as appearance, charm, glamour, fame, social status, and material possessions. We must demand and encourage our citizens of this great nation and future generations to work on and acquire those qualities and other moral characteristics for the sake of their well-being and happiness. Finally, some of my dear friends have introduced and encouraged me to look at other forms of prayers besides the traditional ways of praying, namely, reciting some memorized prayers. After putting all the factors above together and twenty years of serving God's people in parishes and ten years of seminary training, I have come up with this format of praying that is rooted in Holy Scriptures, daily issues, personal experiences, character-building, and practical spiritual exercises. The format is designed to be self-reflecting, easy reading, and hopefully helps individuals work on essential qualities while spending some quiet time in the presence of Jesus.

Download or read book Come Lord Jesus written by Mother Mary Francis and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These Advent reflections by the abbess of a Poor Clare monastery and accomplished spiritual writer focus our attention on the coming of Jesus into our lives. There is a double movement to this coming: our active preparation to be ready for him, on one hand, and our patient waiting for the Lord to arrive in his own good time, on the other. There is an art to this simultaneous preparing and waiting, and who knows better than the late and beloved Mother Mary Francis how to encourage us in our attempts to master this art. The joyful yet challenging teaching that we have come to expect from Mother Mary Francis is on display in these Advent conferences written for her spiritual daughters at the Poor Clare Monastery of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Meditating on passages from Scripture about the coming of the Messiah into both our world and our hearts, Mother challenges us to persevere in overcoming our faults, while keeping our eyes on the Lord who has called us to himself, for it is he who, through the gifts of his grace, will complete in us the work of sanctification which he has begun. Although written for Advent, the wisdom of Mother Mary Francis collected by her sisters for this volume is profitable at any time, because a Christian life is one of constant growth into the very likeness of God.

Download or read book Authentic Christianity written by Gene Edward Veith (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burnt-out believers and spiritual secularists have given up any hope that an engaging and meaningful spirituality can be found in a single Christian denomination. So rather than attending worship at a local church, they attend to their spiritual needs elsewhere. Instead of being fed by a single denomination, they feast upon a smorgasbord of spiritual beliefs. And while these disaffected believers have not rejected the existence of God or the need for meaningful spirituality, they have strongly rejected whatever it is they think the church today has to offer.
Download or read book Future Grace Revised Edition written by John Piper and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explore this stunning quality of God’s grace: It never ends! In this revision of a foundational work, John Piper reveals how grace is not only God’s undeserved gift to us in the past, but also God’s power to make good happen for us today, tomorrow, and forever. True life for the follower of Jesus really is a moment-by-moment trust that God is dependable and fulfills his promises. This is living by faith in future grace, which provides God's mercy, provision, and wisdom—everything we need—to accomplish his good plans for us. In Future Grace, chapter by chapter—one for each day of the month—Piper reveals how cherishing the promises of God helps break the power of persistent sin issues like anxiety, despondency, greed, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more. Ultimate joy, peace, and hope in life and death are found in a confident, continual awareness of the reality of future grace.
Download or read book But We See Jesus written by Stephen Kaung and published by Christian Fellowship Publishers. This book was released on 2016-11-16 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity is Jesus Christ. It is not the teaching, doctrine, system or organization of Christ. Rather, it is Jesus Christ himself. We need to see Him as God sees Him. Yet this can only come about by revelation from above. The Holy Spirit will reveal Jesus to us. And when we do see Him as God sees Him, we will fall down and worship. Such, then, is the intent of this series of messages, whose overarching theme is best summed up in the author’s choice of title to the entire series: “But We See Jesus” (Hebrews 2:9a). All nineteen messages were delivered by the author before a Christian audience in Richmond, Virginia over a three-year period, commencing in the year 1992. May God use this volume to inspire His people to see the Savior and Lord we have so that we may truly worship Him with all our hearts and love Him with all our heart, mind, will and strength. Jesus alone is worthy!
