Download or read book The Eighth Sacrament written by Mathew John and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book carefully uncovers the beauty of the sacraments of the Church. It tells us how God, the master artist, who conceives the design of a human being, His masterpiece, first in His mind makes use of the sacrament of Matrimony as a canvas to realize the design with the cooperation of men and women as His coartists. Though the design God had in His mind was perfect, the actual work is imperfect because His coartists who physically portrayed the masterpiece themselves are imperfect. But God transforms human beings, over the course of time, into a masterpiece through the sacraments of the Church. God calls a person by his name in the sacrament of Baptism, which is the very first divine touch of God upon the soul of an individual; the sacrament of Reconciliation is an ongoing bathing in the mercy of God; the Lord, in the Eucharist, feeds us with the divine food and drink for the journey, and by eating the body and drinking the blood of the Lord, human becomes divine; God gives us higher power by the sacrament of Confirmation, but it also challenges one to live according to the Spirit; the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick is the last touch of God upon the soul of His masterpiece; God calls men into Holy Orders who, like the men and women in marriage, cooperate with God in carving a person into a masterpiece by administering the sacraments of the Church. As the author unveils the striking beauty of the sacraments, he also invites readers to delve deep into them to explore the hidden and untapped riches that will change one's life forever.
Download or read book Sunday written by Craig Harline and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-13 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mere mention of "Sunday" will immediately conjure up a rich mix of memories, associations, and ideas for most anyone of any age. Whatever we think of-be it attending church, reading a bulky newspaper, eating brunch, or watching football-Sunday occupies a unique place in Western civilization. But how did we come to have a day with such a singular set of traditions? Here, historian Craig Harline examines Sunday from its ancient beginnings to contemporary America in a fascinating blend of stories and analysis. For the earliest Christians, the first day of the week was a time to celebrate the liturgy, observe the Resurrection, and work. But over time, Sunday in the Western world took on still other meanings and rituals, especially in the addition of both rest and recreation to the day's activities. Harline illuminates these changes in enlightening profiles of Sunday in medieval Catholic England, Sunday in the Reformation, and Sunday in nineteenth-century France-home of the most envied and sometimes despised Sunday of the modern world. He continues with moving portraits of soldiers and civilians trying to observe Sunday during World War I, examines the quiet Sunday of England in the 1930s, and concludes with the convergence of various European traditions in the American Sunday, which also adds some distinctly original habits of its own, such as in the realms of commerce and professional sports.With engaging prose and scholarly integrity, "Sunday" is an entertaining and long-overdue look at a significant hallmark of Western culture.

Download or read book Rest written by Keri Wyatt Kent and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2008-12-23 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Keri Wyatt Kent invites readers to rediscover the ancient practice of Sabbath in this practical and accessible book. Kent’s experiences as a retreat leader and a journalist collide as she offers true, interview-based stories along with scripturally based advice and guidance on how to live in a rhythm of work and rest she calls “Sabbath simplicity.” Based on what Jesus taught about Sabbath and how he practiced it, Kent explores six aspects of Sabbath as Christian spiritual practice: resting, reconnecting, revising, pausing, playing, and praying. These are the antidote to our restlessness, isolation, and our hurried lives, workaholism, and self-absorption. Living a nonlegalistic, sanely paced, God-focused life leads us to freedom and grace, joy and connection. A group study guide is included, making this book an excellent choice for small groups.
