Download or read book The Universal Christ written by Richard Rohr and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers, a long-awaited book exploring what it means that Jesus was called “Christ,” and how this forgotten truth can restore hope and meaning to our lives. “Anyone who strives to put their faith into action will find encouragement and inspiration in the pages of this book.”—Melinda Gates In his decades as a globally recognized teacher, Richard Rohr has helped millions realize what is at stake in matters of faith and spirituality. Yet Rohr has never written on the most perennially talked about topic in Christianity: Jesus. Most know who Jesus was, but who was Christ? Is the word simply Jesus’s last name? Too often, Rohr writes, our understandings have been limited by culture, religious debate, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center. Drawing on scripture, history, and spiritual practice, Rohr articulates a transformative view of Jesus Christ as a portrait of God’s constant, unfolding work in the world. “God loves things by becoming them,” he writes, and Jesus’s life was meant to declare that humanity has never been separate from God—except by its own negative choice. When we recover this fundamental truth, faith becomes less about proving Jesus was God, and more about learning to recognize the Creator’s presence all around us, and in everyone we meet. Thought-provoking, practical, and full of deep hope and vision, The Universal Christ is a landmark book from one of our most beloved spiritual writers, and an invitation to contemplate how God liberates and loves all that is.
Download or read book Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ Revised Edition written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2004-10-27 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ-the divine Person revealed in the Bible-has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do his will, and you will see the truth of his Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.

Download or read book Do You See What I See Seeing Yourself Through the Eyes of God written by Kathy Parson and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Do you see what I see?” is a book designed to reveal the principles of Godly wisdom needed to establish, maintain and guard our self esteem. We are made in the image of God; so male or female we are beautiful inside and out. The word of God say’s in Psalm 50:2, “From Zion, perfect in beauty God shines forth.” (KJV) This is a classic description of self esteem established from biblical principles. This does not come from a manual of intellectual rules. The book speaks to readers about our mind, our heart, the principles, and the foundation on which we build our self esteem. The book also explains the difference between authentic and camouflaged self esteem, men who suffer from low self esteem and walking in the beauty of godly self esteem. Believe it or not there are women in the Body of Christ who are suffering from low self esteem. They come to church Sunday after Sunday dressed up, flawless make-up, hair flowing or stacked and inside they have no idea who they really are because there is so much pain and torment. The outward appearance is dressed up to hide what is on the inside. But the devil is a liar, what is outside should just be an enhancement of the beauty that is on the inside of them. The two must link up; the inside and outside have to connect in order to walk in the truth of God given self esteem. Self esteem is the inner strength, confidence, and beauty that we possess as human beings. It is not arrogant or haughty it is powerful. The enemy wants to take this from you. The bible says, the thief comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). The enemy hates God’s children, and the self esteem that reflects the glory of Jesus Christ blinds him from seeing and getting a shot to destroy it. The building up of self esteem starts in the mind. When a woman looks into the mirror, if she likes what she sees then her thoughts register and it is displayed outwardly. If she doesn’t like what she sees, she first analyzes if it is something she can quickly fix; such as a small flaw. Anything beyond her immediate control causes her to develop a complex which begins to develop in her subconscious mind and travels to her heart. This is the plan of the enemy leading to the destruction of her self esteem. The enemy seeks to devour our self esteem. His mission is to attack us with low self esteem in order to entangle us and hold us captive. He plays tricks with our minds to try to make us believe his lies. It is imperative that we do not come into agreement with him. Our mind and our thoughts must be subject to the Lord Jesus Christ. We have the power to command every thought that comes in our mind to be subject to Jesus Christ. We have to guard our hearts. God tells us in His word to guard our hearts for out of it springs the issues of life. (Proverbs 4:23). In other words it is what is in our hearts that show people who we really are. This is why we must be hidden in Christ; our place of refuge. He will keep us in His care so that who He say’s we are, will reflect to those who see us. As long as we walk this earth we will have enemies. King David was a giant killer. He defeated his enemies because the confidence inside of him came from God. The more confident we become, the more the enemy will try to destroy our self esteem. However, we already have power over him and his tactics so there is no need to fear him. In order to be all that God has created us to be we must build our self esteem on His foundation, it is a sure and eternal foundation. Self Esteem established by God is authentic. There used to be a saying, “Is it live or is it Memorex?” Is the sound of what we hear live, real, is it recorded, or is it someone else’s voice? Camouflaged self esteem is derived from someone else’s voice. Authentic self esteem is eccentric. Its beauty is exuberant. The principles of godly self esteem are not gender specific. God created men in His image and beauty so that same truth applies to men

Book excerpt: Drs. Lindsay and Lexie Kite know firsthand how hard filtering out media influence is when it comes to self-image.

Download or read book The Beauty of the Lord written by Jonathan King and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is God's beauty often absent from our theology? Rarely do theologians take up the theme of God's beauty—even more rarely do they consider how God's beauty should shape the task of theology itself. But the psalmist says that the heart of the believer's desire is to behold the beauty of the Lord. In The Beauty of the Lord, Jonathan King restores aesthetics as not merely a valid lens for theological reflection, but an essential one. Jesus, our incarnate Redeemer, displays the Triune God's beauty in his actions and person, from creation to final consummation. How can and should theology better reflect this unveiled beauty? The Beauty of the Lord is a renewal of a truly aesthetic theology and a properly theological aesthetics.
Download or read book Jesus Through Pagan Eyes written by Mark Townsend and published by Llewellyn Worldwide. This book was released on 2012-06-08 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Pagans and Christians alike, Jesus Through Pagan Eyes offers a provocative portrait ofJesus—as a compassionate, life-affirming, nature-inspired spiritual teacher, freed from the limiting ideology of the Church. Rev. Mark Townsend sets the stage by exploring the historical evidence of who Jesus was as a human being before delving into the realm of metaphor and mythology, the notion of Christ, and the Church's conception of Jesus as Christ. The heart of this unique book lies in the thoughtful and deeply moving collection of stories, essays, and interviews about Jesus from today's most respected Pagan, Wiccan, and Druidic leaders. Contributors such as Maxine Sanders, Christopher Penczak, Janet Farrar, Diana Paxson, Philip Carr-Gomm, Oberon Zell-Ravenheart, John Michael Greer, Selena Fox, and Raven Grimassi explore the historical figure of Jesus in relation to Witchcraft, the tarot, goddess worship, and shamanism—while illustrating how this god of the Christian church blesses and inspires those who embrace non-traditional spiritual paths. Whether you envision Jesus as an ascended master, a human teacher, or a mythic god-man, this remarkable book will introduce you to a Jesus who fits fully into the Pagan imagination. Praise: "Townsend uses Jesus to initiate dialogue, and he does so in way that is accepting and inclusive of many understandings and interpretations of Jesus, his purpose, and his relevance (or irrelevance) in the religious practices of contemporary Pagans."—Huffington Post "This work admirably promotes understanding between belief systems that have a sometimes uneasy relationship."—Publishers Weekly
