Download or read book Streams in the Wasteland written by Andrew Arndt and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2022-09-13 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if our exhaustion, burnout, and pain are an invitation into a more vibrant faith?Christianity is fighting for its soul. We've enjoyed the benefits of power and privilege for so long that many of us have forgotten the radical way of Jesus. But we have been here before. And there is a way through. Within a few hundred years after the death and resurrection of Jesus, Christianity emerged as the dominant religion of the Roman Empire. Where it once took courage to be a Christian, suddenly it was easy, and the radical way of Jesus was being lost. Toward the end of the fourth century, a group of men and women began to withdraw from the halls of privilege and power into the desert to rediscover the essence of Jesus Christ. The stories and examples of these desert fathers and mothers are recorded for us. And their lives still speak by as they teach us: To embrace the disciplines of solitude, silence, and prayer; To pursue humility, generosity, and unity in rich relationship with others; To develop a keen eye for wisdom; and To lay down our rights for the good of others. The desert fathers and mothers found a way to live radically, humanly, and beautifully in a spiritually desolate and confusing time. So can we. Streams in the Wastelandis for all those who thirst for a better way--the radical way of Jesus amid the desert of our age.
Download or read book All Flame written by Andrew Arndt and published by NavPress. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does God actually want for us? What is his dream for you, or for me? Is it that we would become just a little nicer? More "moral"? A little more religious? Could it be that there's something else he's after? Many books engage the life of the Trinity at an academic level, focusing simply on fine points of theological distinction. In All Flame, Andrew Arndt drills down, with mystical power and missional energy, to the dream of the God revealed in three Persons--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit--showing how the Triune God is not far but near, already in touch with your life, already present to you, already at work in and through your circumstances to make you the kind of person he desires you to be: ALL FLAME.

Download or read book The Road to Becoming written by Jenny Simmons and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No matter how great or how terrible life is going, one thing is for sure--it's going to change. Sometimes it happens in an instant--you get married, you have a baby, you lose a loved one, you lose a job. Sometimes, it happens over time--you drift away from a friend, you discover you're not the same person you used to be, you find yourself struggling with doubt. But no matter what, we must deal with both the change we choose and the change foisted upon us. Jenny Simmons is no stranger to both kinds. In this thought-provoking book, she shares her final days as the lead singer of the band Addison Road and the subsequent journey that led her through seasons of change, lostness, and finding new life. The result is a painfully vulnerable, laugh-out-loud, honest, and hopeful reflection on life's uncertain times. This encouraging book invites readers to view their not-how-I-planned-it moments as holy seasons that didn't catch God off guard at all.

Book excerpt: Let’s face it—continuing to find a good source of daily devotions, let alone being focused enough for real spiritual refreshment, is almost impossible. But we all know time with God is important. The good news is, there is a way to work true connection with God into your daily life; you just need a Bible, twenty minutes a day, and a quiet place to practice lectio divina, which is rereading a passage of Scripture over and over so God can speak to you through it. And Enjoy the Silence is the perfect place to learn this amazing practice. Have you ever picked up the Bible and thought, “I’m reading this passage, but it really doesn’t connect with me”? Or tried to start a prayer routine and gradually found yourself sleeping in or watching TV instead because talking to God felt too much like a one-way conversation every time? If so, it’s not because God doesn’t want to speak with you—it’s exactly the opposite. And one way to not only find a personal connection to the Bible but also feel God’s presence is through lectio divina. Enjoy the Silence contains simple exercises that guide you through this ancient process of reading Scripture, meditating on it, listening to what God is telling you, and then responding to the verses or passage you just read.
