Download or read book Reaching Out written by Henri J. M. Nouwen and published by Image. This book was released on 1986-08-05 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With clarity and depth characteristic of the classics, this spiritual bestseller from the author of The Return of the Prodigal Son lays out a perceptive and insightful plan for the spiritual life and achieving the ultimate goal of that life—union with God. “One of the world’s greatest spiritual writers.”—Christianity Today Henri Nouwen views our spiritual “ascent” as evolving in three movements: The first, from loneliness to solitude, focuses on the spiritual life as it relates to the experience of our own selves. The second, from hostility to hospitality, explores our spiritual life as a life for others. The final movement, from illusion to prayer, offers penetrating thoughts on the most mysterious relationship of all: our relationship with God. Throughout, Nouwen emphasizes that the more we understand (and not simply deny) our inner struggles, the more we will be able to embrace a prayerful and genuine life that is also open to others’ needs. Reaching Out is a rich book to be read, reread, pondered, and shared. It “does not offer answers or solutions,” Nouwen cautions, “but is written in the conviction that the quest for an authentic Christian spirituality is worth the effort and the pain, since in the midst of this quest we can find signs offering hope, courage, and confidence.”

Previously published under the title The Emmaus Code.
Download or read book My Emmaus Walk written by Debra Tomaselli and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-08-12 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Debra Tomaselli didn't always recognize the God who was walking beside her. As a young adult, she fell away from the faith. Worldly goals took priority. She attended church only when it was convenient. There was no connection between her faith and her life. However, the death of her beloved younger brother at age 33 changed everything as she questioned her faith. Was there really a God? Who's running this show? If there is a God, does he love us? Oddly enough, the only place she felt at peace was at church. Desperate, and with nowhere else to go, she leaned into her faith... reading holy books, studying scripture, and listening to sermons. Her search led her to find God in a very personal way, in the very ordinary moments of her life, where incredible things happened... Amazing things... Personal messages... Perfect words... Uncanny timing. Suddenly, like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, the eyes of her heart were opened. Once she could see the glory of God, all she could see was the glory of God. The Emmaus Walk, True Stories of Faith, Hope and Inspiration, is a collection of those revelations... those that occur in everyday, ordinary life... Come and see... The view from here is so different... for God is here... He's so clearly here.

When we walk through this life, many things bombard us along the way, and often those things bring disappointment, confusion, and grief. In Luke 24:13-35, two men were experiencing this in a big way, and their walk can teach us so much about God's faithfulness to us. Go on this journey with the men on the road to Emmaus. See the wonderful way in which Jesus walks with you, especially during difficult times. Walk down the dusty road and receive the victory that only Jesus can give. "In her book, Our Road to Emmaus, Brenda Troutman shares her story of living with a burden of shame, even after she accepted Jesus as her Savior.... She likens her journey...to the journey the two disciples took on that first Easter as they questioned the events that had taken place that morning.... If you're going through a time of heartbreak or grief, or if you simply want to see Jesus more clearly in your life, Brenda's testimony is sure to give you hope and strength for the next step." -Michele Huey, Author & Speaker
Download or read book Walking Home written by Margaret Guenther and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2011 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Retellings of the "walking stories" of Scripture and how they unpack the truths about spiritual life. Jesus walks everywhere with his disciples—always arriving, departing, on the way somewhere else. Adam and Eve walked out of the garden, Lot and his daughters walked out of Sodom, Abraham and Isaac walked to Mt. Moriah, the Israelites walked for forty years to the promised land, the Prodigal Son walked home barefoot, the disciples walked to Emmaus. The spiritual life is oftentimes about putting one foot in front of another, always on the way, never home, until crossing another new threshold. However, the point of all our walking—whether tedious or joyous, rambling or goal-oriented—is getting home, as this splendid author illustrates in this reflective work.
