Download or read book Somewhere Between Here and Perfect written by Lesta Bertoia and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2015-12-11 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In seeking to align herself with the expanding consciousness prevalent today, Bertoia has had many masterful teachers: her children, flying fish, angels that travel by Greyhound, bullfrogs, and a storm, to name a few. Helpful hints come from the invisible realms through a dragon, various other selves, and a team of light beings. Some of the subjects she explores, with frequent humor, great affection, and occasional annoyance, are quantum evolution, remote viewing, the binary language of time and timelessness, the artist as a channel, the dial of perception, the power of transformation, and dreamtime communications. A delightful and uplifting book.

Religion today is undergoing a radical transformation that is affecting all aspects of our lives. This book presents a synthesis between traditional values and our changing understanding of the universe. We live in an age of science and technology that profoundly affects the way we see things.

Maybe someone has made you believe a lie about who you are by speaking damaging words to you. The discovery of our true identities does not begin by looking within ourselves, but by looking to the One who made us. Hello, My Name Is will inspire you to not wear the nametag that someone else gave you, but to wear the name of who God says you are. Your name may be "Lonely" . . . He calls you Friend. Your name may be "Failure" . . . He calls you Redeemed. Your name may be "Broken" . . . He calls you Beloved. It is time to tear off the false nametags that cover up your true identity. Understanding who you are begins with knowing Whose you are so you can embrace your destiny as a child of the one true King. "Hello, My Name Is will silence the lies of the enemy so you can hear God whisper, 'You are mine. You are wanted. You are so incredibly loved.'" —Lysa Terkeurst, New York Times best-selling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries "Hello, My Name Is gets to the heart of an issue that haunts the homeless and the hero, the kid and the king, the disabled and the diva—our identity." —Randy Frazee, Senior Minister at Oak Hills Church, author of The Heart of the Story Matthew West brings the rare combination of songwriter an pastor to his ministry.

Download or read book A Baker s Dozen written by Nick Ringma and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is both encouragement for the journey and an embrace along the way. A solid recovery perspective lives on every page as an antidote for much of what parades in the media as the problem. A carefully crafted compendium written by a recovery insider sheds light on the essential nature of the spiritual journey that emerges from a lived twelve-step practice while travelling on the dirt road of life. The author’s experience on both sides of the fence bridges the practical nature of recovery to the essential restoration of morality. The keen eye for detail, coupled with an earthquake of personal experience, guides the clinical perspective and envelops the journey with passion and compassion. With roots in reformed thinking, the spiritual journey, which verges on the universal, maintains a balance of doubt, faith, and work. The resurrection language is rooted in the community of the Last Door Recovery Society. The author has played, worked, and celebrated recovery in this community, and every entry is evidence that recovery works. People get lives, and even when the road is gritty, they learn to savour a redeemed life!

Download or read book God and Children written by Jesus Urteaga and published by Scepter Publishers. This book was released on 2020-01-01 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fr. Urteaga (1921-2009) is a writer who gave exceptional value to the human side of life, and its enrichment by an ongoing struggle for virtue. Likewise, he never lost sight of the importance of grace. He addresses parents in their sometimes-difficult job of raising children to be not only men and women, but Christian saints. His modus operandi is that life is truly worthwhile if it is lived for the love of God. In these chapters, he draws on his own rich experience as a teacher and spiritual director. He adds Christian doctrine, humor, and common sense to make God and Children a book for all parents and especially those of young children. Originally printed in 1960, this newly revised and slightly abridged version of Urteaga's book captures the spirit of his advice which is grounded in truth and is timeless in quality.

Download or read book Shift written by Abby McDonald and published by ACU Press. This book was released on 2020-02-04 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we want to see God in the midst of our struggles, we have to change the way we look for him. There is no denying that miracles, answers to prayer, and abundant blessings testify to God’s presence. When the desires of our hearts are filled, it’s easy to see him. But what about the seasons when he seems invisible? Scripture tells us God never sleeps, but it is easy to feel like he is not attuned to our needs. Shift explores the life-changing truth that when we adjust our lens to focus our eyes on God rather than on what we wish we were seeing in our lives, he reveals himself to us. In fact, those moments when he seems invisible to us are often when others see him the most in us. When Jesus walked the earth, he looked to God for his earthly needs. Jesus had deep a relationship with the Father that fueled his mission, his purpose, and his effectiveness. Scripture tells us that we can have that too. But there is a shift that needs to take place in our hearts and minds. No matter our circumstances, we can see God in our lives—right here, right now.

Download or read book Innocence Knowledge and the Construction of Childhood written by Kerry H. Robinson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-02 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innocence, Knowledge and the Construction of Childhood provides a critical examination of the way we regulate children’s access to certain knowledge and explores how this regulation contributes to the construction of childhood, to children’s vulnerability and to the constitution of the ‘good’ future citizen in developed countries. Through this controversial analysis, Kerry H. Robinson critically engages with the relationships between childhood, sexuality, innocence, moral panic, censorship and notions of citizenship. This book highlights how the strict regulation of children’s knowledge, often in the name of protection or in the child’s best interest, can ironically, increase children’s prejudice around difference, increase their vulnerability to exploitation and abuse, and undermine their abilities to become competent adolescents and adults. Within her work Robinson draws upon empirical research to: provide an overview of the regulation and governance of children’s access to ‘difficult knowledge’, particularly knowledge of sexuality explore and develop Foucault’s work on the relationship between childhood and sexuality identify the impact of these discourses on adults’ understanding of childhood, and the tension that exists between their own perceptions of sexual knowledge, and the perceptions of children reconceptualise children’s education around sexuality. Innocence, Knowledge and the Construction of Childhood is essential reading for both undergraduate and postgraduate students undertaking courses in education, particularly with a focus on early childhood or primary teaching, as well as in other disciplines such as sociology, gender and sexuality studies, and cultural studies.
