Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The people of ancient times were inclined to give their attention not only to the external world of inert matter, but also to the world within, the vital world of consciousness. Those sages who understood the importance of such contemplation comprise the prime subject matter of this book. Especially in the troubled world of today, it is by the conscientious study of their activities and teachings that we may come to understand the Absolute Truth, or the Ultimate Reality, and attain lasting peace and joy. The pastimes of such great, sagely personalities have been narrated in detail in an ancient collection of works known as the Puranas, as well as in timeless epics such as the Mahabharata, Ramayana, and other Vedic literatures. In this book, Srila Bhakti Ballabha Tirtha Goswami Maharaja, a bona fide self-realized representative of the bhakti (devotional) lineage, has narrated important episodes and addressed salient points from these literatures. Thus, the avid reader may understand their inner meaning and apply this knowledge to their search for real happiness. Ultimately, such unadulterated, permanent happiness, according to the devotional tradition, is realized as the attainment of pure love of God, Sri Krishna.

He’s soon assigned a charming young magician who’s meant to protect him from the assassin, and they grow romantically close—which comes with a host of dangerous complications and secrets. Zaya expected to be the irresponsible youngest prince his whole life. But when his two older siblings are killed by an unidentified magician, he finds himself crowned king of Lushrain—the end of his liberty as he knows it. As part of his training, he’s sent to Heartwood for a month, the house of the sages high in the mountains. There, to his shock, the sages tell him he must learn about magic—which is illegal to practice, but has nonetheless been among Heartwood’s secret studies for centuries. They assign Col as his tutor, a charming young sage with unusually strong powers. Zaya abhors and distrusts magic, and Col absolutely doesn’t want the job of attempting to change the king’s mind. But in their lessons and debates, they grow closer and begin envisioning a future in which a sage and a king might make a harmonious couple. But the assassin still roams, seeking to hurt Zaya, and the budding love affair may be crushed by the secrets that Heartwood—and Col—have kept about this killer.

Download or read book Fathered by God written by John Eldredge and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2009-04-20 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an age when fathers are more important than ever, how do you embark on your journey to manhood and know how to steer clear of the dangers along the way? In Fathered by God, New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge reminds us that there's a path to masculinity and, best of all, there's a loving Father ready to help us follow it. In Fathered by God, Eldredge calls men back to a simple and reassuring truth: God is our Father, and he wants to show us what masculinity really means. Eldredge teaches us that there's a path leading to authentic manhood, cut by generation after generation of men. There are perils along the trail, even disasters--all the more reason to rely on the guidance of a Father who has gone before us. A boy has a lot to learn in his journey to becoming a man, and it takes the active intervention of father figures and the fellowship of other men to guide us along the way. Eldredge shares that in all of life's trials and triumphs, God is initiating boys and men through the stages of manhood. Through personal stories and practical guidance, Eldredge provides a map through the six stages of a man's journey and answers some of the most common questions about manhood that he's received over the years, including: How can I set a good example for my son? What does the Bible teach us about masculinity? How can I become the man that God designed me to be? Fathered by God maps out the path of manhood--not more rules, not another list of principles, not formulas, but a well-worn path that men have followed for centuries before us. Discover the truth about masculinity and become the man that God sees in you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Old Testament is an ancient collection of theological reflections of life with God that the church has claimed as authoritative Scripture.

Download or read book The Measure of a Man written by Skip Simonds and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-28 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The makeup of every man is based on the fundamental design of the Creator. Using Himself as the Pattern, God the Father has designed man with certain universal attributes. Not every man is the same, but neither is he so unique as to have nothing in common with his brothers.Much of our study in times gone by has been geared toward understanding and appreciating the differences that exist between men. However it is time that men understand some of the things that make them uniquely "men". First and foremost, men must be an expression of their Creator or they will never truly know the meaning of being fulfilled.Jesus is the first born among many brethren. Of this the scripture leaves no doubt. He was not only the first, but He was also the full representation of the essence of God the Father here on earth. As such, we have in Jesus the fullness of God to see in fleshly form.The purpose of this book is to take the four major presentations of Jesus, which are also the four major presentations of a man who is reaching his potential, and make them understandable, reachable, and emulatable.This book is designed to be used in conjunction with the "King, Warrior, Sage, Lover" seminars conducted by Lifeflow. However, it still has value even for those who have not been through that seminar and who do not yet understand the makeup of their own manhood.Whether you know who you are as a king, a warrior, a sage, and a lover is not important if your desire is to grow in each. The key to growth in this as in all Christian endeavors is to emulate Jesus in one's daily life. It is this clear picture of Jesus held firmly in our heart and mind, and to which we compare ourselves daily, that provides a target or goal for which we aim. This picture of Jesus, this clear vision of Him as the one we want to be like, is our hope for the future. We may not be there yet, but if we persist, we will. That picture of Jesus, the man we want to become, is our "hope".That striving daily to act differently, to bring ourselves into accordance with that picture in our heart and mind, that intention and action to live our life differently, that is our "Faith". Faith literally means to live or conduct your life in accordance with something. So as we seek to act like Jesus as opposed to our own way, that is our faith in action.
