Download or read book God s Blueprint for Spiritual Growth and Reward written by Steve Morgan and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2009-05-14 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When God set out to ensure that man could continue to commune with him after the fall of Adam and Eve, he operated by specific principles that where set in order before the beginning of time. Two such principles are the Law of Sin and Death and the Law of Life in the Blood. God, who understands our need for a consistency, operated within these and many other principles to keep our communications open. The journey the Israelites took from Egypt to Canaans Land was significant in that it revealed many wonderful truths about the progressive growth in walking with Jesus Christ. Likewise, the journey the High Priest made once a year into the Holy of Holies is a significant teacher on our walk with Christ today. In this book you will find some profound similarities with our walk as Christians in this era as we strive to grow up in Him unto the Measure and Stature of Jesus Christ. You will have found where you are in your journey to full maturity and understand what the next steps are for you to continue. Jesus is still the same yesterday, today and forever!

Download or read book Essential Expositions of the Psalms written by Saint Augustine and published by New City Press. This book was released on 2018-09-14 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essential Expositions of the Psalms is a collection distilled from the 6-volume set in the Works of Saint Augustine. As the psalms are a microcosm of the Old Testament, so the Expositions of the Psalms can be seen as a microcosm of Augustinian thought. In the Book of Psalms are to be found the history of the people of Israel, the theology and spirituality of the Old Covenant, and a treasury of human experience expressed in prayer and poetry. So too does the work of expounding the psalms recapitulate and focus the experiences of Augustine's personal life, his theological reflections and his pastoral concerns as Bishop of Hippo.

Download or read book Spirituality and Art Therapy written by Mimi Farrelly-Hansen and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2001-03-15 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting the increasing recognition of the importance of the spiritual in healing, Spirituality and Art Therapy is an exciting exploration of the different ways in which the spiritual forms an essential, life-enhancing component of a well-rounded therapeutic approach. The contributors are leading art therapists who write from diverse perspectives, including Christian, Jewish, Buddhist and shamanic. They explain how their own spiritual and creative influences interact, finding expression in the use of art as a healing agent with specific populations, such as bereaved children, emotionally disturbed adolescents, and the homeless. The relationships between spirituality and visual art, art therapy and transpersonal psychology are examined. Story and image are interwoven in the spiritual journeys of therapists and clients, and suggested creative exercises make this an accessible, practical resource for those who desire to understand and execute an holistic method of therapy. Arguing that art therapists can mediate between the sacred and the mundane, this pioneering book is an affirmation of the transformative power of art therapy.

Download or read book Understanding Spiritual and Physical Health written by Troy A. Roberson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2017-08-23 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A healthy Christian needs to cultivate both spiritual and physical well-being. Yet often we can be so spiritual that we neglect our physical, natural selves. On the other hand, we can also be so caught up in our physical health that we may neglect working out our spiritual selves as well. So how do we find a balance? And what if God even provided us with a guide to make ourselves our very best both inside and outside? In Understanding Spiritual and Physical Health: A Biblical Perspective, author Troy A. Roberson shares his passion for fitness and health and his years of studying the Word of God to help believers learn how to be healthy both in body and in spirit. Roberson explains how the Bible is Gods guidebook for living, and in it God shows his children how their bodies and spirits are connected; this connection means that the richer we are in spirit, the more healing, health, and well-being we will have in our natural lives as well. The apostle John tells us, Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as they soul prospereth (3 John 2). By putting into practice the advice and suggestions for how to live a good life of health and wellness through nutrition and a godly lifestyle from a biblical perspective, you too can enjoy the blessings of Christs restoration.

Download or read book Five Pillars of the Spiritual Life written by Robert Spitzer and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2009-09-03 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, espoused the ideal of becoming "contemplatives in action." He was convinced that contemplation (the deep awareness and appropriation of the unconditional love of God) should affect our actions, and that our actions need to be brought back to contemplation. These five dimensions of the spiritual life: (1) the Holy Eucharist, (2) spontaneous prayer, (3) the Beatitudes, (4) partnership with the Holy Spirit, and (5) the contemplative life itself, generally do not develop simultaneously or even in parallel ways. Some develop very quickly, but do not achieve significant depth; while others develop quite slowly, but seem to be almost unending in the depth of wisdom, trust, hope, virtue, and love they engender. The best way of explaining this is to look at each of the pillars individually. Before doing this, however, it is indispensable for each of us to acknowledge (at least intellectually) the fundamental basis for Christian contemplation, namely, the unconditional Love of God. Jesus taught us to address God as Abba. If God really is Abba; if His love is like the father of the prodigal son; if Jesus' passion and Eucharist are confirmations of that unconditional Love; if God really did so love the world that He sent His only begotten Son into the world not to condemn us, but to save us and bring us to eternal life (Jn 3:16-19); if nothing really can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus (Rm 8:31-39); and if God really has prepared us "to grasp fully, with all the holy ones, the breadth and length and height and depth of Christ's love, and experience this love which surpasses all understanding, so that we may attain to the fullness of God Himself" (Eph 3:18-20), then God's love is unconditional, and it is, therefore, the foundation for unconditional trust and unconditional hope. There can be nothing more important than contemplating, affirming, appropriating, and living in this Unconditional Love. This is the purpose of contemplation; indeed, the purpose of the spiritual life itself.
