Book excerpt: You hold in your hand stories and insights that took me fifty-six years of wandering to gather. For most of my life, I've known a subtle ache in my soul, an unnamed emptiness that lingered like a sea-fog on my path, at times heavier than others but always present, clinging, not willing to let me pass. Often, I faltered on my journey, taking shameful side trails that led only to darkened points, track fading out into leaf-strewn messes, lost. I sought healing from childhood trauma and longed for a father's unconditional love. Within the arc of my story lies a secret that ultimately transformed my life. I hope you will discover it as I did, step by step, page by page, story by story, until at last your life is profoundly changed, rich and full beyond measure, overflowing like a full-moon tide. Come, the Father God is waiting to draw you upon his lap.

Book excerpt: Throughout the ages, many have attempted to find God by looking outside themselves, often through the framework of religion. Although there is much wisdom and many truths found in the various beautiful religions of the world, including that which can lead us to God, nothing can take the place of our personal and direct communication with whomever or whatever we believe is a higher power.The exercises and meditations included in this volume from Archangel Gabriel, channeled through Rev. Penny Donovan, give us the tools to uncover the gentle, light, loving, powerful voice of our Higher Self and bring it into our lives. With chapters on manifesting, seeing through fears, discovering answers to problems, making decisions, releasing burdens, disbursing energy, seeing our Divine Self, connecting with our soul mate, and other topics, these pages encourage us to practice what some of the enlightened Masters have practiced throughout history - communicating directly with the God within to manifest truth and knowingness in our daily life.

Download or read book Gentle and Lowly written by Dane C. Ortlund and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.

Download or read book Seated with Christ written by Heather Holleman and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christians find themselves trapped in the rhetoric of platform, influence, retweets, and fame, they need a ladder out of the fray. Many of us live in a prison of self-absorption. Shackled with pride and despair, we compare ourselves to others constantly in our frantic, unending pursuit of perfection. Seated with Christ gets to the root of this behavior and charts a path to freedom. Scripture says that God’s beloved are seated with Christ in the heavens (Eph. 2:6), treasured by Him and given a place at His table. Heather Holleman unveils what this means for us. It means we walk out on the fight for acceptance. We quit measuring ourselves to others.We leap free from cycles of shame. Securely-seated people can ask themselves hard questions about their lives; they can deal with sin, grieve their losses, and move forward in hope. From a position of security and self-forgetfulness they can joyfully do the good works prepared for them uniquely. They can even celebrate the successes of others. Seated with Christ is a deeply personal, liberating look at a glorious truth: that we have a place at God's eternal table.
