Download or read book Receiving the Day written by Dorothy C. Bass and published by Fortress Press. This book was released on 2019-03-01 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Embrace time as a gift--not an obstacle Receiving the Day invites us to open the gift of time, to dwell in the freedom to rest and worship that God intends for us and for all creatures. In this book, Dorothy C. Bass shows how Christian practices for rest and worship continually welcome us into a way of life attuned to the love of God, neighbor, earth, and self. Bass does not aim to provide clear instructions for creating a schedule that solves all our puzzles about how to live in time. Rather, convinced that Christian faith bears great wisdom about time, Bass offers an account of the weekly practice of keeping sabbath, along with other practices by which Christians have sought to live faithfully in time. These practices have been lived by diverse communities of faith across centuries and cultures. Through them, we can learn to dwell more graciously, attentively, and faithfully within the hours and days we have. We can also learn to share the gift of time gladly and gratefully with others, in and for this world God loves.

Download or read book The Gift written by Edith Eva Eger and published by Scribner. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I will be forever changed by Edith Eger’s story.” —Oprah A practical and inspirational guide to stopping destructive patterns and imprisoning thoughts to find freedom and joy in life—now updated to address the challenges of the pandemic and a world in crisis. World renowned psychologist and internationally bestselling author, Edith Eger’s, powerful New York Times bestselling book The Choice told the story of her survival in the concentration camps, her escape, healing, and journey to freedom. Readers around the world wrote to tell her how The Choice moved them and inspired them to confront their own past and try to heal their pain. They asked her to write another, more prescriptive book. Eger’s second book, The Gift, expands on her message of healing and provides a hands-on guide that gently encourages readers to change the thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping them imprisoned in the past. Eger explains that the worst prison she experienced is not the prison that Nazis put her in but the one she created for herself: the prison within her own mind. She describes the most pervasive imprisoning beliefs she has known—including fear, grief, anger, secrets, stress, guilt, shame, and avoidance—and the tools she has discovered to deal with these universal challenges. These lessons are offered through riveting and inspiring stories from her life and the lives of her patients. This new, revised edition of The Gift contains two new chapters that examine the invaluable insights and lessons Edie learned during the Covid-19 pandemic; a time she used to rediscover freedom even in lockdown and to enjoy the simple pleasures of life, including preparing and sharing meals with the ones we love. Edie includes recipes for some of her favorite dishes which have been updated and tested by her daughter Marianne Engle and explains how food can be a deep expression of love and connection. As readers seek to find joy and some peace in these challenging times, Eger’s wisdom and heartfelt advice is as timely, and timeless, as ever and certain to resonate with Eger’s devoted readers and those who have not yet found her transformational wisdom. Filled with empathy, insight, and humor, The Gift captures the vulnerability and common challenges we all face and provides encouragement and advice for breaking out of our personal prisons to find healing and greater joy in life.

This is a gift of tremendous import and magnitude, To humanity for eons to come. it is a vast treasure fashioned in the hermitage of inner silence and brought out into the open, brilliantly lighting the sight of the bewildered with its profound insights. Open the Mystery: The opening words "Open to Bliss" refers To The act of opening or unravelling. it is demystifying the complex, perplexing, and infinitely varied stream of data, which is presented to us as sexual attraction, To its simpler elements, To such a degree that it no longer holds any power. it is seen as child's play (blatantly simple), and as a pitiful attempt at manipulation. Bliss is what remains when one's consciousness has escaped this confounding maze designed For The mind, and learns to derive pleasure once again in experiencing the preciousness of his or her own true innocent childlike-self. A Teacher's Teacher: Sage Hope is A)self-taught and B)Guru-taught (Spiritual Teacher-taught,) & God-taught by: 1. Introspection, analysis, eternal questioning, investigation 2. Validation of truths in daily life 3. Application to embody the potent ascertained truths 4. Independent study of the Spiritual Teachers' invaluable written works 5. The study of world's revealed religious literature. The Work: This is an unbiased research of the introspective Sage Hope. After in-depth study of various religions (equivalency of his study spans thrice his lifetime), after unravelling the mystery of love, and having experienced emotional fulfillment, he turned his attention to this formidable, potent, and illusive mystery, namely sexual attraction. The work represents 4 frac12; years worth of exclusive study on the matter culminating in the Absolute Solution, which when understood dispels the illusions of sexual attraction to such a point that the mystery becomes as the sage says, "unimpressive." Essence of the Problem: Sexual attraction is presented in perplexing, multi-layered, multi-faceted, and ever-changing forms. The onlooker is thereby mesmerized. Baffled, he loses his perspective and sense of reality. His consciousness is swept away with the stream of peculiar variegated data that bombards him. The Solution: A born teacher, The author, Omid Mankoo, Is extremely detailed. With simplicity, he dissects and identifies each illusive element of the jumbled mass of sexual manipulation. He elucidates how each element functions to capture the mind. Furthermore, he demonstrates the reason for their potency when they combine to form, what many experience as, a mysterious unknown force, that many mistakenly attribute to their instinct or nature, and strongly

Download or read book Start with Why written by Simon Sinek and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-12-27 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspirational bestseller that ignited a movement and asked us to find our WHY Discover the book that is captivating millions on TikTok and that served as the basis for one of the most popular TED Talks of all time—with more than 56 million views and counting. Over a decade ago, Simon Sinek started a movement that inspired millions to demand purpose at work, to ask what was the WHY of their organization. Since then, millions have been touched by the power of his ideas, and these ideas remain as relevant and timely as ever. START WITH WHY asks (and answers) the questions: why are some people and organizations more innovative, more influential, and more profitable than others? Why do some command greater loyalty from customers and employees alike? Even among the successful, why are so few able to repeat their success over and over? People like Martin Luther King Jr., Steve Jobs, and the Wright Brothers had little in common, but they all started with WHY. They realized that people won't truly buy into a product, service, movement, or idea until they understand the WHY behind it. START WITH WHY shows that the leaders who have had the greatest influence in the world all think, act and communicate the same way—and it's the opposite of what everyone else does. Sinek calls this powerful idea The Golden Circle, and it provides a framework upon which organizations can be built, movements can be led, and people can be inspired. And it all starts with WHY.
