Download or read book Tending the Garden written by Marshall & Julia Welch and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-08-31 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tending the Garden is a unique perspective and approach nurturing of Christian spirituality using the garden and gardening as a metaphor. Marshall and Julie Welch combine their experience and expertise in spiritual formation and gardening as an invitation to tending to one’s spirituality. Whether an experienced or novice gardener, the reader will gain insight not only into the art of gardening, but Christian spirituality as well. Spirituality is presented as a relational way to grow compassion and sensitivity to self, others, the environment, and to God. The book can be read individually or as a small book club group. Guidelines for facilitating a small group discussion are presented in the introduction. Part I consists of 14 short, engaging chapters, with titles such as “Weeding: Spiritual Discernment,” “Manure Happens: Desolation and Consolation,” and “Thank You Very Mulch: Our Spiritual Security Blanket.” The narrative is written in a very conversational voice. Each chapter begins with scripture and an inspirational quote and concludes with a series of reflection questions as well as tips on how to “cultivate” one’s spirituality. The “tips” are easy-to-do activities that are grounded in a long tradition of spiritual exercises presented in a contemporary context. In Part II, the authors also use their experience as co-coordinators of a community garden in their own church congregation to present step-by-step suggestions on how other communities of faith can start and maintain their own garden. Church gardens are introduced as a unique form of spiritual formation through a sense of community with other gardeners and a form of mission and ministry.

Download or read book Tend Your Garden written by Lance Tanaka and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us want to know there is a reason why we are here on this earth. We need to believe we have a purpose beyond our daily work and toil. We yearn to hear the voice of God or see the writing in the sky that will explain our mission, our purpose, and the path to achieving it. There is a simple reason for this: we were created on purpose and for purpose. Purpose is built within the DNA of every human being. It was God's design from the very beginning. We all want to be happy--to have a fulfilling, purpose-driven, God inspired career; to have healthy, happy, loving relationships; to be financially secure, etc. But happiness can elude us. We often don't see our purpose. We may lack a direction. We may know our dream but feel it's too far away to achieve. Many of us don't know how to take the first steps. We are waiting for that voice, that sign from on high. Waiting can lead to drifting, and drifting leads to a life lived without purpose. In this book, which accompanies the course of the same name, we want to help you discover and develop your innate gifting. Tending Your Garden uses the Dream and Achieve(R) (DNA) process, a method developed by Lance Tanaka that has helped thousands of people overcome their purposelessness by: -identifying their strengths and passions, -developing practical action plans with effective steps they can take immediately, and -building a discipline to do what needs to be done. Let this book, in conjunction with the course and our DNA(R) certified coaches, walk you through this most important process. It is our passion to help you to identify your gifting so you can tend your garden, glorify God, and experience something amazing.

It's more than just the rows of dirt in a field in which you plant your seeds and wait for your harvest. Your garden is your world. It's the disorders you deal with daily and that you attempt to make sense of. It's the sorrow, heartaches, and headaches that you manage each second of every day. It's the depression, autistic son, controlling mom, low-paying job, mounting bills, and obnoxious neighbor. This is your garden. My prayer is that we come to understand that our garden is, in fact, His Garden. No matter what kind of garden we are dealing with; our life (with all its oddities) belongs to the LORD.

Download or read book Tending the Epicurean Garden written by Hiram Crespo and published by Humanist Press. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be Smart About Being Happy Gods may exist, but they’re too far removed to care about humans. So our best purpose in life is not to please gods, but to be happy. Which is not as easy as it sounds, since short-term pleasures and selfishness create longer-term misery. Thus taught Epicurus, 2,300 years ago. Hiram Crespo brings the Epicurean passion for maximum happiness into the modern age with this practical guidebook. Step one in what Crespo calls the “hedonic calculus” is to rein in desires, so they become easier to satisfy – just the opposite of the luxurious indulgence so often incorrectly associated with Epicureanism. From there, he offers a blizzard of ideas, from healthy recipes that stimulate natural “feel-good” chemicals in the brain to the journaling of positive events, even on a bad day. The highest attainable happiness, though, is communing with friends – it just doesn’t get any better than that. Being smart about being happy means using the best knowledge and tools available. Tending the Epicurean Garden is an excellent place to start.
