Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “As poet, prophet, and priest, Thurman builds upon a powerful legacy of ancestral hope: belief in a liberating God who can always be found ‘in and among the struggling.’” —Yolanda Pierce A universal beacon of hope and endurance for people of all faiths seeking to meet the challenges, uncertainties, and joys of life Howard Thurman’s Meditations of the Heart is a beautiful collection of over 150 prayers, poems, and meditations on prayer, community, and the joys and rituals of life by one of our greatest spiritual leaders. Thurman, a spiritualist and mystic, was renowned for the quiet beauty of his reflections on humanity and our relationship with God. In a new foreword, Yolanda Pierce, dean of Howard University’s School of Divinity, calls attention to the justice-centered theological framework of Thurman’s words. Pierce notes how Thurman brings to light an image of God who can always be found “in and among the struggling,” both in times of weariness and in strength. First written for and shared with his congregation of the Church for the Fellowship of All Peoples in San Francisco, California, these meditations sustain, elevate, and inspire. They are a universal beacon of hope and endurance for people of all faiths seeking to meet the challenges, uncertainties, and joys of everyday life with a renewed and liberating faith.

Download or read book Radical written by David Platt and published by Multnomah. This book was released on 2010-05-04 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller What is Jesus worth to you? It's easy for American Christians to forget how Jesus said his followers would actually live, what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, he said, leave behind security, money, convenience, even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily... But who do you know who lives like that? Do you? In Radical, David Platt challenges you to consider with an open heart how we have manipulated the gospel to fit our cultural preferences. He shows what Jesus actually said about being his disciple--then invites you to believe and obey what you have heard. And he tells the dramatic story of what is happening as a "successful" suburban church decides to get serious about the gospel according to Jesus. Finally, he urges you to join in The Radical Experiment -- a one-year journey in authentic discipleship that will transform how you live in a world that desperately needs the Good News Jesus came to bring.

Download or read book Reclaiming the Lost Art of Biblical Meditation written by Robert J. Morgan and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight. — Psalm 19:14 Do you long to deepen your intimacy with the Lord? To find a sense of soul-steadying peace? To develop emotional strength? Then you will need to pause long enough to be still and know He is God. Trusted Pastor Robert Morgan leads us through a journey into biblical meditation, which, he says, is thinking Scripture—not just reading Scripture or studying Scripture or even thinking about Scripture—but thinking Scripture, contemplating, visualizing, and personifying the precious truths God has given us. The practice is as easy and portable as your brain, as available as your imagination, as near as your Bible, and the benefits are immediate. As you ponder, picture, and personalize God’s Word, you begin looking at life through His lens, viewing the world from His perspective. And as your thoughts become happier and holier and brighter, so do you.
Download or read book Meditations of the Heart written by Donnie Martin and published by . This book was released on 2011-05-12 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A short description of MEDITATIONS OF THE HEART can be found in the word M-E-D-I-T-A-T-E. It is a Motivational, Exegetical, Devotional, Inspirational, Theological, Applicational, Transformational, Educational collection of writings for those in every situation of life from a seasoned pastor/teacher.From the PrefaceRev. Donnie L. Martin offers a glimpse into the heart of a pastor/teacher in his devotional book titled "Meditations of the Heart: Thoughts on the Christian Life." He perceives that the Christian life begins with a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, grows with a perpetual fellowship with Christ and His Church, and further develops with a pertinent stewardship of all temporal and eternal resources.Rev. Martin understands and undertakes life's supreme devotion to the permeating Lordship of Jesus Christ. His heart's desire is to follow in the steps of his Lord and Savior; like William Whiting Borden of Yale (1887-1913), who wrote, "No reserves, no retreats, no regrets."Dr. Robert A. Cook (1912-1991), former president of the King's College, Briarcliff Manor, New York, shares in "Now That I Believe" (Chicago: Moody Press, 1949), "The word 'communion,' when applied to our relationship to God in developing Christian character, has two phases...The first phase of communion is to take everything you know about yourself to Him...The second phase of communion is to take everything you know about Him to yourself!" A persevering discipleship of this type brings glory to God!As you read these pages, may you become a person after God's own heart and begin to think God's thoughts after Him.Dr. Franklin L. Kirksey, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Spanish Fort, Alabama, and author of "Sound Biblical Preaching: Giving the Bible a Voice."
