Download or read book Soundings written by Chris Aridas and published by Galilee Trade. This book was released on 2011-01-26 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soundings is a guide to reading Scripture as prayer and meditation. Organized around 52 themes, it offers 365 scriptural passages, together with spiritual commentary to facilitate personal reflection. The book affords freedom to pursue whatever themes/passages the reader wishes, in whatever sequence. These rich meditations cover such subjects as: God's faithfulness and fidelity; love of neighbor; reconciliation with Chirst; servanthood; lover and spouse; the power of the Cross; obedience; discipleship; forgiveness; new life. Father Aridas prepares the reader for their "journey" by outlining the importance of stillness and learning to listen to God's voice within us. "As Christian pray-ers," he writes, "we need to discover our own way, our own rythym, remembering, of course, that the Lord's way is the guideline we follow--the way of death/resurrection...On this inner journey, therefore, the important thing to remember is not the act of prayer itself, but the relationship that is mean to develop with the Lord Jesus." It is essential, Aridas points out, that we have a set time and place to pray, free of distraction and worry, and that we be patient in the process. What makes this book essentially useful are appendices that provide examples of Scripture prayer, a spiritual/psychological explanation of the journey, and a reference section for locating familiar Bible stories. Soundings is a book for lay people, students, retreatants, and indeed all praying Christians who are looking for a helpful guide in their journey of faith.

Download or read book Daily Rhythm July September written by Steven L Barnhart and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-06-10 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide into worship, scripture meditation, and prayer contains daily devotionals for the third quarter of 2019 (July 1, 2019 through September 30, 2019). The guide is intended to be used on a daily basis; however, the goal is not to follow the guide without any deviation from its structure. Like a garden trellis, the guide is simply a structure to encourage and support your growth, following your unique path and at your personal rate. This is not a Bible commentary or Bible study, which are both great tools to learn about God. Rather, this guide is designed to help you grow in your relationship with God. On average, most people complete a Daily Rhythm in about 30 minutes, but it can be completed in as little as 10 to 15 minutes, or you can take your time and spend as much as an hour or more each day. The foreword is by Jim Martin, author of "Just Church" (2012, Tyndale Momentum). Future quarterly guides will be published approximately one month before their start date, with forewords written by others skilled in the ways of spiritual formation. Questions about the Daily Rhythm: Who is this written for?Anyone who desires to grow in their love for God and others. Age, gender, spiritual maturity level, and theological persuasion are not important factors. The only important factor is your desire to seek God with all your heart, soul, and mind.Why was it written?Steve grew up attending church and has served in various Christian ministry roles over the years. At age 51 he was diagnosed with a serious heart condition that caused him to seek God with a new and fresh perspective. Up to that point in time, his devotional life would run hot and cold as he tried to set aside time each day to hurry through a few scriptures and offer up prayers from a list. With a desire to live more fully in God's presence and become more pliable to God's promised transforming power, Steve developed-first just for himself, and later for several fellow believers-this Daily Rhythm publication. He wanted a resource that would simply guide him into daily worship, scripture meditation, and prayer. Steve's hope is that this daily guide will help many others grow to know God's presence more deeply. His prayer is that those who follow this guide will, like him, change their devotional times from a guilt-ridden, hurried duty into a joyful adventure of drawing closer to a wonderful, loving heavenly Father.What are the three components of each Daily Rhythm?-Worship: each Daily Rhythm starts with prayer, scripture verses, and a time of worship through music that invites and welcomes God into your presence.-Scripture meditation: each Daily Rhythm contains a Bible passage for you to read from your personal Bible. -Prayer: each Daily Rhythm will guide you through the Lord's Prayer and encourage you to pray for people and situations as the Holy Spirit leads. Also, you will be encouraged to journal your thoughts and prayers each day.How are the daily Bible passages selected?The primary Bible passage of each Daily Rhythm comes directly from the Revised Common Lectionary (RCL). The RCL is a three-year reading plan that covers the entire Bible. Each week's readings center on an event or teaching of Jesus that is read on Sunday from one of the Gospels. On Monday, you will read a psalm; on Tuesday, an Old Testament passage; and on Wednesday, another Gospel passage. Each of those readings supports the prior Sunday's reading. Thursday and Friday's passages come from the Old Testament, and Saturday's passage is taken from a New Testament letter. These three passages all lead into the next Sunday's Gospel passage.Which translation of the Bible is used?The short, printed Old and New Testament passages for each day are taken from the New International Version (NIV). The primary passage is purposely not printed so that you can look it up and read it from your personal Bible.
