Download or read book Rooted and Grounded in Love written by Timothy Reinhold Eberhart and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2017-06-05 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God's invitation to join in the love feast of Holy Communion resounds at the very heart of the Christian faith and life. But how are Christians faithfully to gather together in relational bonds of love--in particular, through our daily bread and common cup--amidst a global market economy sustained by social and ecological violence? Drawing on the holiness-communitarian and agrarian-ecological traditions, Rooted and Grounded in Love provides a systematic theological affirmation of holiness as divine wholeness in examining our present industrial agro-economy while also promoting a practical vision for how Christians might participate in the emergence of a more ecologically sustaining, economically charitable, and politically just food system.

Download or read book Gracious written by Kelly Williams Brown and published by Rodale Books. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So you’re adulting. Now what? New York Times bestselling author of Adulting: How to Become a Grown-Up in 468 Easy(ish) Steps Kelly Williams Brown is here to tell you what, with her funny, charming guide to modern civility in these—yes, we'll say it—rather uncivil times. Graciousness is practicing the arts of kindness, thoughtfulness, good manners, humanity, and, well, basic decency. It’s not about memorizing every rule of traditional etiquette (though there is something to be said about a lovely hand-written invitation) or being the perfect hostess. It’s about approaching the world with compassion, conviction, and self-confidence—and it makes all the difference, whether you're at a Fancy Schmancy Intimidating Work Occasion or at the convenience store. Gracious provides tips to help you deal with the people and circumstances that challenge all of us (pushy relatives, internet trolls), and thoughtful discussions on being the highest version of yourself. Graciousness, at its heart, is the ability to be truly present to the humans around you, to face the world with a generous heart and a core of strength that’s never corroded. Even when you get rude comments from Internet strangers (hot tip: you don’t give a lot of credibility to someone screaming obscenities at you on the street, so why do it online?) We can’t control the world, or other humans, or even how we feel in a given moment. The only thing we can control is our words and actions, and when we act deliberately and with kindness, it makes everything better.
