Download or read book Running From Grace Caught By Mercy written by John M. Benevides and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-01-24 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter how far we run, we can't outrun the Gospel. Trust me, I've tried. I spent over forty years wandering through the sinful wilderness, until I humbly accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior, my Redeemer, and my Friend. This autobiography is brutally honest and, at times, transparent to a fault. My motivation for sharing my personal testimony is not to feed my flesh or to embarrass myself but to glorify God, His kingdom, and his never-ending acts of agape love. It is my opinion that I was the worst type of addict because I was not homeless, a beggar, or what your mind's eye imagines. I was a father, a husband, and business owner and, quite possibly, the one sitting next to you at a restaurant/bar, a movie theater, or even church. We need to appreciate that no matter what we have done or failed to do, we are never too far from God's outreach. I have felt the thickness and glory of God on more than one occasion and can testify that it is complete joy, and my tens of thousands of dollars on narcotics can't even compare. Whether you are a nonbeliever, a new believer, or a seasoned Christian, I believe you will find this book useful during your spiritual walk. Through personal examples, it is my intention to show you how God uses people, places, and events to get His message across. I know this to be fact because He took a broken drug addict soul and transformed me into a child of the Most High God. I have included my email address on the cover so you can have author access to any comments or questions.

Download or read book Mercy in the City written by Kerry Weber and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2014-01-08 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jesus asked us to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, and visit the imprisoned, he didn’t mean it literally, right? Kerry Weber, a modern, young, single woman in New York City sets out to see if she can practice the Corporal Works of Mercy in an authentic, personal, meaningful manner while maintaining a full, robust, regular life. Weber, a lay Catholic, explores the Works of Mercy in the real world, with a gut-level honesty and transparency that people of urban, country, and suburban locales alike can relate to. Mercy in the City is for anyone who is struggling to live in a meaningful, merciful way amid the pressures of “real life.” For those who feel they are already overscheduled and too busy, for those who assume that they are not “religious enough” to practice the Works of Mercy, for those who worry that they are alone in their efforts to live an authentic life, Mercy in the City proves that by living as people for others, we learn to connect as people of faith.

Download or read book Teach Us to Want written by Jen Pollock Michel and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2014-06-04 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Logos Bookstores' Best Book in Spirituality/Devotional Christianity Today Book of the Year Honorable Mention, Best Book of the Year from Byron Borger, Hearts and Minds Bookstore As Christians, we're squeamish about desire. Isn't wanting sinful and selfish? Aren't we supposed to find and follow God's will rather than insisting upon our own? The story of each person is a story of want—desires unmet, hopes dashed, passions pursued and ambitions fulfilled. Our wants cannot be ignored. But when desire is informed by Scripture and re-formed by our spiritual practices, it can root us more deeply in the fundamental belief that God is good and generous and can invite us into active kingdom participation. Jen Pollock Michel guides us on a journey of understanding who we are when we want, and reintroduces us to a God who gives us the desires of our hearts. That same good God calls us into a new reality in which we seek first his kingdom and righteousness, and we discover our disordered desires burned away while our truest longings are happily fulfilled and purified. The disciples asked Jesus to "Teach us to pray." This book asks, "Teach us to want."

Download or read book Ladder of Perfection written by Revelation Insight Publishing Company and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE LADDER OF PERFECTION is a guide to the contemplative life in which the soul is reformed to the image and likeness of God. Book One provides an overview of contemplation and its prerequisites, a discussion of prayer and meditation, and a path for dealing with sins, both obvious and hidden, through self-awareness, humility, and the love of God. By these means one passes through the darkness known to another English mystic as "the cloud of unknowing." Book Two distinguishes between the reform of the soul that is in faith only and the reform that is in both faith and feeling. Loving Jesus is the way through the initial darkness that one sees after withdrawal from the world of the senses, and God gives light to those who persevere in this work. The spiritual eye is opened in a way that cannot be arrived at by mere intellectual study, nor by individual effort. Contemplation is given by God. After further progress, the soul knows itself as it is, and Jesus speaks directly to her.
