Download or read book Jesus and the Religions written by Bob Robinson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-03-23 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should followers of Christ live in a multi-religious world? This book argues that the example of Jesus has something fresh and helpful to say to those who ponder the question. It takes something old--the example of Jesus--to say something new to our pluralist world. Most of the book examines the meetings of Jesus with Gentiles and Samaritans. These are found in some of the most poignant and dramatic encounters and teaching passages in the Gospels: a synagogue address with near-murderous consequences; the healing of a pagan centurion's servant; the setting free of the afflicted child of a Gentile mother; a moving encounter at a Samaritan well; the unlikely story of a compassionate Samaritan--and more. This is a scholarly but accessible discussion of what it might mean to "have the same attitude of mind that Christ Jesus had" in our contemporary multi-religious world.

Download or read book Where There Is Love There Is God written by Mother Teresa and published by Image. This book was released on 2010-08-10 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mother Teresa’s relationship with God and her commitment to those she served—the poorest of the poor—is here powerfully explored in her own words. Taken largely from her private lessons to her sisters, published here for the first time, Where There is Love, There is God unveils her extraordinary faith in and surrender to God’s will. This book is in some way a sequel to Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light, in which her own very private spiritual struggles were explained. Sent to alleviate the sufferings of the poor, she assumed their struggles and pain in the depths of her heart. This led to particularly intense anguish which she lived through with heroic courage and fidelity over several decades. As important as this aspect of her life is, that remarkable testimony of her life and her words intensifies the need and desire to know more of her thought. There is much she can teach us as we face our daily struggles or sufferings, which can at times be unusually severe. Where There is Love, There is God, though not an exhaustive anthology of Mother Teresa’s teaching, nonetheless shows what she believed and taught about important issues that confront all people. Due to her constant interaction with people of diverse backgrounds, no life situation was foreign to her and in this book her role is primarily one of teacher and guide. Love is perhaps the word that best summarizes Mother Teresa’s life and message. The title reflects what she proclaimed during her entire life: God is alive, present, and “still loves the world through you and through me”. Mother Teresa sought to be an extension of God’s heart and hands in the world of today. She was called to be a missionary of charity, a carrier of God’s love to each person she met, especially those most in need. Yet she did not think that this was a vocation uniquely hers; each person is in some way called to be a carrier of God’s love. Through the practical and timely advice she offers, Mother Teresa sets us on the path to closer union with God and greater love for our brothers and sisters. MOTHER TERESA (1910–1997) was born in Skopje (present-day Macedonia), and joined the Sisters of Loreto in Dublin in 1928. She left the Loreto order in 1948 to begin the Missionaries of Charity in Calcutta. Her service to the poorest of the poor became her life’s work. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979 and was beatified in 2003. Editor of Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light, FATHER BRIAN KOLODIEJCHUK, M.C., Ph.D., was associated with Mother Teresa for twenty years and is now director of the Mother Teresa Center, which has offices in California, Mexico, India, and Italy. “What you are doing I cannot do, what I’m doing you cannot do, but together we are doing something beautiful for God, and this is the greatness of God’s love for us—To give us the opportunity to become holy through the works of love that we do because holiness is not the luxury of the few. It is a very simple duty for you, for me, you in your position, in your work and I and others, each one of us in the work, in the life that we have given our word of honor to God.…You must put your love for God in a living action.” -Mother Teresa, From Where There is Love, There is God

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After suffering a life-changing trauma at the tender age of four when he found his infant brother dead in his crib, Dr. Rifkin went on a lifelong quest to know and understand the workings of God. His journey took him to northern California to study with the Beatles' guru and to Machu Picchu to study with Incan shamans. He lived in an Indian ashram for eleven years and studied Zen, yoga, and the occult But it wasn't until Jesus revealed himself that his pain was overtaken by the love and peace that only Jesus provides. Despite being raised Jewish, Dr. Rifkin fully embraced his Messiah and led many of his family to salvation. He has spent nearly forty years as a licensed therapist, helping others to repair their marriages and work their way through their own emotional pain. In 2011, his practice was interrupted when he learned that despite knowing Jesus and living a very healthy lifestyle, he inherited his family's genetic and devastating disease which destroys and eventually shuts down the functioning of both kidneys. Polycystic kidney disease had him on daily dialysis at home which exhausted him. His thirteen-year-old son would keep him company, all the while fearful that his father would die before finding a new kidney. To make matters worse, his wife of eighteen years no longer wanted to remain married. Feeling very alone, he turned to Jesus and was told by the Holy Spirit that he was about to be the recipient of a miracle. Then, eleven months later, after being prompted by the Holy Spirit, he put his request for a living donor on social media, and he received a perfect kidney from a complete stranger. Today, Dr. Rifkin is remarried to the love of his life and has recently learned that polycystic kidney disease has affected his liver to the point where he will need a transplant. After hours of prayer, he was reassured that he will be successful in this transplantation and looks forward to living out his life with his beautiful wife serving the Lord.
