Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is both an awakening and a reviving manual, with a series of suggested spiritual retreat programmes to guide the beginners. The author, Z.T. Fomum provides an answer to the many questions that Christians often ask themselves, concerning either their own spiritual progress or the spiritual progress of other believers. These questions can be summed up as follows: 1) How do you overcome the tendency to activism which makes agitated believers unable to be calm before God in order to seek Him? 2) How do you know God so that you can serve Him from deep knowledge? 3) In a word, how do you walk from one degree of progress to another in our generation? The author invites us, in response to these many questions, to experience a life of spiritual retreats. That life is a prelude to the great final retreat that the Lord will soon take with His church. Therefore, retreats are presented as a sign of love for the Lord and an activity in preparation for our final retreat with the Lord. Retreats for spiritual progress are to be taken regularly as a way of life. To resolve questions relating to the preparation and planning of a spiritual retreat, the author suggests, as a guide, a series of retreat programmes ranging from 15 minutes to several hours and days. In devising a format for several types of retreats, the author effectively answers the question of what should be done step-by-step during a retreat. You just need to choose the type of retreat you wish to take and just follow the instructions given in the book by the author. This book is both an awakening and a reviving instrument.

Download or read book Resting Place written by Jane Rubietta and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A PERSONAL RETREAT. We've never needed it more. We run from one place to the next - from meetings and appointments to our kids' soccer practice, from work to class to choir rehearsal, from the grocery store to small group - and then drop into bed later than we hoped, exhausted and dreading the morning. We want to slow down but don't know how and don't really believe that we can. And often, the idea of a personal retreat - time for solitude and silence - makes us feel as anxious as all our frenzied rushing. What in the world would we do with an hour, an afternoon or (gulp!) a whole day of solitude with God? But what is the cost of our frantic pace? What are we missing by not slowing down for reflection and meditation on Scripture? What kind of toll does our anxious running take on those around us - and, even more deeply, on our own soul? In Resting Place, retreat speaker Jane Rubietta addresses soul matters with retreat topics such as: dealing with our fear of abandonment; wrestling with discontent; overcoming our attempts to control others; fulfilling our deep desire to be loved Spiritual retreats help us enter Psalm 23 rest, a place of true rest and trust in our loving, gentle Shepherd. With Scripture to meditate on, quotes to contemplate, questions, prayer and journaling ideas, and creative exercises, Resting Place leads us to and through times of rest. The silence and solitude will follow us into our everyday world as we allow Jesus to guide, comfort and restore us. Come to the Shepherd and find the true rest your soul longs for.

Download or read book Coming Back To Reality written by Shelton Schild and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-04-23 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spirituality is not just about religion. It is about the connection you feel to the world as a whole. Human beings were not meant to feel alone. We are social animals that have, throughout our history, felt like a part of nature-one that has its own spirit and is not simply a vessel of nerves and muscles. It's not uncommon to find yourself drifting away from that feeling of soul and spirit. Spiritual healing retreats are designed to bring you back. This book explores how you can integrate and nurture the You that you experienced on retreat, and bring her home for good. In this book, the author will take you through a process to do just that: -Get a grip on where you are in terms of both your post-retreat integration process and your everyday real life. -Get real about who you are right now, both in relation to your practical life and your spiritual journey. -Explore and reconnect with that heart-opened, loving You that you experienced on retreat and nurture her. -Name your intentions for your life post-retreat, both on a practical day-to-day level and in service to You. -Commit to these intentions and create a practical plan to honor these commitments. -Recognize that trust and love are already flowing in this process and are the bridge between the spiritual retreat You and the You in your everyday world and apply this to stay on track.

Download or read book Maximizing Personal Retreats written by Apostle Joshua Selman and published by . This book was released on 2020-12-10 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now, most believers are not taught the relevance of a retreat, most Christians are not taught that a retreat is part and parcel of the spiritual growth process of a believer, we teach fasting, we teach prayer but very few believers have been taught as corporate doctrine, not just a time out away from people but a retreat that could end and begin seasons in your life in the presence of God. It is risky to end and begin seasons in your life in the flesh, the most spiritual aspect of your life should be when seasons are ending and when seasons are beginning because that is when Satan gets at people, when the seasons have been cleared up and you are moving, it is difficult for Satan to derail you. It is very important, every one of us must make sure that we use this one month that we are having and take out at least a few days for a quality retreat, now there are different kinds of retreat, we have workers retreat as a ministry, there are all kinds of retreats, families have their retreats but this retreat I'm talking about is a retreat when you are exclusively alone with God, not even husband and wife, not even father and children.Read this Book and be Blessed

Download or read book Awakening from Anxiety written by Connie L. Habash and published by Mango Media Inc.. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use this spiritual guide to equip yourself with the tools needed to tear down anxiety and build inner peace. Spiritual people often find that their own expectations of living a life dedicated to a higher power makes them more susceptible to high-functioning anxiety. Sometimes, traditional relaxation techniques either do not work, don’t last, or, in some cases, actually increase their anxiety. Psychotherapist, yoga teacher, and interfaith minister Rev. Connie L. Habash has helped hundreds of spiritual people overcome fear and anxiety, regain happiness, and feel calmer. In over twenty-five years as a counselor helping spiritual people overcome anxiety, Rev. Connie has taught that it takes more than chanting mantras, stretching, or relaxation techniques to calm anxiety. It requires a transformation in perception, moment-to-moment body awareness, and a conscious response to thoughts and emotions. Awakening from Anxiety provides valuable psycho-spiritual tools to deepen spiritual awakening and calm fears:Learn what anxiety is and when it becomes a problemUnderstand the six mistakes spiritual people make that increase anxietyDiscover the seven keys to a more calm, confident, courageous lifeKnow how to break through the old patterns of stress, worry, and fear into a new perception of your true selfExplore spiritual principles and yoga philosophy to cultivate inner peace If you enjoyed Stop Anxiety from Stopping You and First, We Make the Beast Beautiful, Awakening from Anxiety will take your healing and renewal from anxiety to the next level. “A book I will recommend to many for both practical advice and spiritual insights for handling stress, worry, and anxiety.”?Becca Anderson, author of Prayers for Calm

Download or read book Wilderness Time written by Emilie Griffin and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 1997-03-14 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time in "the wilderness" -- solitary meditation on simplicity, prayer, and other key disciplines of faith -- is directly in keeping with Jesus' example of going apart to pray. Now, with the clarity and encouragement that distinguish the Renovaré collection of spiritual resources, this gentle guide to retreat unshrouds that historical tradition -- and so reveals marvelous opportunities for spiritual renewal in contemporary Christian practice. Helping us to create self-guided retreats -- for individuals or groups -- Emilie Griffin offers plans, encouragements, and suggestions based on her own experience and fortified by the inspiring words of contemporary Christian writers such as Eugene Peterson, Luci Shaw, and Virginia Stem Owens. A virtual primer for retreat, this volume defines the basics and provides practical tips on setting realistic expectations and on achieving the relaxation and freedom necessary for the soul to become, in the words of de Caussade, "light as a feather." A detailed one-day retreat makes an ideal model for first-timers, and several different examples illustrate how time in the wilderness can be both accessible and wonderfully illuminating -- no matter what your schedule. Wilderness Time is another balanced, practical strategy from Renovaré helping us grow closer to God.
