Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book ventures a fresh look at the Eucharist in ways that draw Christians together rather than divide them.

Although the book as a whole presents ecumenical perspectives on the bread of life and cup of joy, Davies also looks at areas of disagreement among the partners in ecumenical discussion.
Download or read book Cup of Bitterness Cup of Joy written by Beth Nelson and published by Author House. This book was released on 2004-03-10 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cup of Bitterness Cup of Joy spans about 65 years in the lives of two young girls who were sexually abused as young children. Elizabeth is a pastor's daughter who was molested on the one occasion that she was left with someone other than a family member. Mara is the child of a woman who sells herself to men and has no apparent concern for the welfare of her child. Mara is physically and sexually abused by this woman's husband. Mara is befriended by a teenager who comes briefly into the home to escape the juvenile justice system of New York City. He takes her to New York to get her away from, 'Old Rat.' Throughout her life there are people besides George who love Mara and seek to help her, but she is unable to wholly receive this love because she has so much pain and anger as a result of men raping and generally using her. In her fear and hatred of men and unwillingness to turn her life over to the Lord, she becomes a homosexual. Elizabeth also fears men and does not deal well with relationships, but because she has a loving supportive family and looks daily to the Lord for guidance her life flows mainly in tranquil paths. However, she does not have a real relationship with a man (not sex but give and take and trust) until she meets Bart Franklin, a pastoral student, who challenges her to be honest, to put the Lord first, and not to run away from situations. This the story of two girls whose lives are briefly intertwined in childhood and then years later are interwoven by God's grace and wonder once more. Their bitterness has turned to joy. .

Book excerpt: Kahlil Gibran considered The Prophet his greatest achievement. He said: "I think I've never been without The Prophet since I first conceived it in Mount Lebanon. It seems to have been a part of me....I kept the manuscript four years before I delivered it over to my publisher, because I wanted to be sure, I wanted to be very sure, that every word of it was the very best I had to offer." The Chicago Post said of The Prophet: "Cadenced and vibrant with feeling, the words of Kahlil Gibran bring to one's ears the majestic rhythm of Ecclesiastes....If there is a man or woman who can read this book without a quiet acceptance of a great man's philosophy and a singing in the heart as of music born within, that man or woman is indeed dead to life and truth."

Download or read book Defiant Joy written by Stasi Eldredge and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2018-10-16 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all spend a lot of energy reaching for happiness, but we're never quite able to hang on to it. Real life happens, and our circumstances take us on an emotional rollercoaster. Oftentimes, the Bible's call to "be joyful always" seems out of reach--but it doesn't have to be. We are called to live. And, miraculously, to live with joy. Join bestselling author Stasi Eldredge as she shows us how to choose a joy that stands against the tides of life's real and often overwhelming pain. Defiant Joy reminds us that a joy that is defiant in the face of this broken world was meant to be ours. This joy isn't simply happiness on steroids, it's the unyielding belief that sorrow and loss do not have the final say. It's the stubborn determination to be present in whatever may come and interpret both goodness and grief by the light of heaven. Defiant Joy will give you the encouragement you need to: Finally experience daily joy Learn how to have a posture of holy defiance when circumstances threaten to weigh down your soul Find new perspectives on the painful circumstances you've faced In Defiant Joy, Stasi invites us with courage, candor, and tender vulnerability to a place beyond sadness or happiness, leading the way as we learn how to maintain a posture of holy defiance that neither denies nor diminishes our pain but dares to live with expectant, unwavering hope.
Download or read book The Book of Joy written by Dalai Lama and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An instant New York Times bestseller Two spiritual giants. Five days. One timeless question. Nobel Peace Prize Laureates His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu have survived more than fifty years of exile and the soul-crushing violence of oppression. Despite their hardships—or, as they would say, because of them—they are two of the most joyful people on the planet. In April 2015, Archbishop Tutu traveled to the Dalai Lama's home in Dharamsala, India, to celebrate His Holiness's eightieth birthday and to create what they hoped would be a gift for others. They looked back on their long lives to answer a single burning question: How do we find joy in the face of life's inevitable suffering? They traded intimate stories, teased each other continually, and shared their spiritual practices. By the end of a week filled with laughter and punctuated with tears, these two global heroes had stared into the abyss and despair of our time and revealed how to live a life brimming with joy. This book offers us a rare opportunity to experience their astonishing and unprecendented week together, from the first embrace to the final good-bye. We get to listen as they explore the Nature of True Joy and confront each of the Obstacles of Joy—from fear, stress, and anger to grief, illness, and death. They then offer us the Eight Pillars of Joy, which provide the foundation for lasting happiness. Throughout, they include stories, wisdom, and science. Finally, they share their daily Joy Practices that anchor their own emotional and spiritual lives. The Archbishop has never claimed sainthood, and the Dalai Lama considers himself a simple monk. In this unique collaboration, they offer us the reflection of real lives filled with pain and turmoil in the midst of which they have been able to discover a level of peace, of courage, and of joy to which we can all aspire in our own lives.

Download or read book Take This Cup written by Charles Erlandson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-04-29 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Suffering is one of the few universals in life and something with which everyone who is reading this has struggled. I have written this book that you might believe that your suffering has a meaning and that God is good. I have written this book that you might rejoice in your suffering because all Christian suffering unites us to Jesus Christ and, therefore, leads to glory and joy. I make this audacious, and even offensive, claim because it is the good news of Jesus Christ proclaimed in a different way. It is the good news that God takes what men and devils mean for evil and transforms it into our glory and joy, through his Son. Read this book if you want to know how and where God promises his people glory and joy through their suffering. Read it, and take the cup of suffering with your Lord. If you do, he promises you, he will unite himself to you through your suffering.
