Download or read book My Cross Is My Opportunity written by Ujunwa Patrick Okeahialam C.S.Sp. and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many people today face a host of challenges and feel they have many crosses to bear. They wonder if suffering and pain are the goals of creation and the burden of believing. In My Cross is My Opportunity, author Ujunwa Patrick Okeahialam, a Catholic priest, discusses how to overcome the obstacles and crosses and see them as opportunities. In this spiritual reflection, he aims to make the idea of the cross less frightening. Using the example of the biblical Job, Okeahialam explains that although we remain oblivious of how some of life’s challenges come about, we have the power to choose who gets glory from the difficulties we face: God or Satan. He communicates that God does not abandon his own. A blend of wisdom from theological insights as well as a depth of personal pastoral experience, My Cross is My Opportunity encourages Christians to see barriers as ladders and bridges that can be used to achieve divine glorification.

Download or read book At Home in Your Heart written by Carol Burton McLeod and published by Whitaker House. This book was released on 2022-03-29 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where do you live—truly live? You may have a street address. You may think of your childhood home. But your real home, this side of heaven, is your heart. Your heart is home to your soul and your emotions as well as your thought life. Your attitudes, habits, and dreams are found there. At Home in Your Heart: Inviting Christ into Every Room is written for women of all ages, backgrounds, and stages of life. Each day in this sixty-day devotional by Carol McLeod includes an essay on the thought for the day, a heart inspection, prayer, and words from Scripture. Topics include: Is Anybody Home?; Blessed by the Begats; A Song at Midnight; Wear God Out; and many more, all offered with Carol's characteristic humor, love, and affection. If you are a Christian, Jesus lives in your heart with you, no matter what condition it’s in. If there are problems, however, He wants to clean until His hands bleed. Carol invites you to walk through the rooms of your heart to identify the issues that Christ is shining His light on. “Jesus wants to paint your heart the color of white snow,” she says. “He will gently move around priorities, set things out for the trash man, and replace every outdated attitude with His unconditional love and inexpressible joy. He can take a home that has been literally demolished by the storms of life and rebuild it into a palace fit for a king.”
Download or read book Christians on the Job written by David Goetsch and published by Salem Books. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Matthew 10:16, Christ advised His Apostles to be "wise" and "innocent" as they go out "in the midst of wolves." This book shows Christians how to be wise and innocent as they work among people who sometimes behave like wolves. Temptation, greed, dishonesty, and misguided ambition have always presented challenges for Christians in the workplace. Add secular bias, political correctness, and persecution to the mix, and the modern workplace becomes a foreboding environment for Christians to navigate. This is so much the case, many Christians wonder if it is still possible to earn a living without compromising their faith. Christians on the Job does more than demonstrate that Christians can stand firm when confronted with faith-related dilemmas in the workplace. It also demonstrates how to go about it. Using concepts illustrated with real-life examples, steps to implement in specific situations, life application questions, and resources for going deeper, Dr. Goetsch draws a clear map to ensure Christians can find their way and thrive on the job.

Download or read book The Destroyer of Innocents written by Dwight Neumann and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2003-09-30 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true story of THE DESTROYER OF INNOCENTS only turns to fiction in the last third of the novel when the author cannot find justice in the judicial system or in life itself for defendant Marco Barrera. Until that moment it presents a Spanish language interpreter's continuous struggle for emotional survival during a 2001 Los Angeles Superior Court death penalty trial. The author-interpreter must repeat into Spanish every word of testimony for the two defendants and thereby relive in stereo the horror of two of the most shocking domestic violence murders of California history. The only way the interpreter can keep his battered emotions at bay during testimony is by recalling his own delightful youth and adolescence. This defense mechanism eventually turns to rage against the defendant. It then can only be appeased by striking out against domestic violence. The death penalty, man's reason to live, defendant Marco Barrera's worst nightmares, and justice itself all cry out for a helping hand. The final resolution is a surreal attempt to desperately recover life and innocence and return them to their proper owners, mankind and children. The ultimate demand for true justice will constantly provoke your laughter, tears, and deepest thoughts.

Download or read book The Mountain of Silence written by Kyriacos C. Markides and published by Image. This book was released on 2002-03-12 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An acclaimed expert in Christian mysticism travels to monasteries high in the Troodos Mountains of Cyprus and offers a fascinating look at the Greek Orthodox approach to spirituality that will appeal to modern seekers. In an engaging combination of dialogues, reflections, conversations, history, and travel information, Kyriacos C. Markides continues the exploration of a spiritual tradition and practice he began in Riding with the Lion. His earlier book took readers to the isolated peninsula of Mount Athos in northern Greece and into a group of ancient monasteries. There, in what might be called a “Christian Tibet,” two thousand monks and hermits practice the spiritual arts to attain oneness with God. In his new book, Markides follows Father Maximos, one of Mount Athos’s monks, to the troubled island of Cyprus. As Father Maximos establishes churches, convents, and monasteries in this deeply divided land, Markides is awakened anew to the magnificent spirituality of the Greek Orthodox Church. Images of the land and the people of Cyprus and details of its tragic history enrich The Mountain of Silence. Like the writings of the great mystics, the book brilliantly evokes the confluence of an inner and outer journey. The depth and richness of its spiritual message echo the thoughts and writings of Saint Francis of Assisi and other great saints of the Western Church as well. The result is a remarkable work–a moving, profoundly human examination of the role and the power of spirituality in a complex and confusing world.

Book excerpt: Profound reflections on the cross that help you to meditate on and marvel at the sacrificial love of Jesus. This book can be used as a devotional, especially during Lent and Easter. These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection-enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done. Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won: “He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5) This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.
