Download or read book Celebration of Discipline written by Richard J. Foster and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 1988-10-05 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the twenty years since its publication, Celebration of Discipline has helped over a million seekers discover a richer spiritual life infused with joy, peace, and a deeper understanding of God. For this special twentieth anniversary edition, Richard J. Foster has added an introduction, in which he shares the story of how this beloved and enduring spiritual guidebook came to be. Hailed by many as the best modern book on Christian spirituality, Celebration of Discipline explores the "classic Disciplines," or central spiritual practices, of the Christian faith. Along the way, Foster shows that it is only by and through these practices that the true path to spiritual growth can be found. Dividing the Disciplines into three movements of the Spirit, Foster shows how each of these areas contribute to a balanced spiritual life. The inward Disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting, and study, offer avenues of personal examination and change. The outward Disciplines of simplicity, solitude, submission, and service, help prepare us to make the world a better place. The corporate Disciplines of confession, worship, guidance, and celebration, bring us nearer to one another and to God. Foster provides a wealth of examples demonstrating how these Disciplines can become part of our daily activities-and how they can help us shed our superficial habits and "bring the abundance of God into our lives." He offers crucial new insights on simplicity, demonstrating how the biblical view of simplicity, properly understood and applied, brings joy and balance to our inward and outward lives and "sets us free to enjoy the provision of God as a gift that can be shared with others." The discussion of celebration, often the most neglected of the Disciplines, shows its critical importance, for it stands at the heart of the way to Christ. Celebration of Discipline will help motivate Christians everywhere to embark on a journey of prayer and spiritual growth.

Download or read book An Inward Journey written by Stuart Campbell and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2024-05-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We were created in love for love. Love defines who we really are. The God of love wants to restore us, to become who we were created to be. Living in loves intimacy, He takes us on a journey of discovery. He reveals who we truly are. We come face to face with the power of love that overcomes our fear of the unknown. Transformed into this new identity we fearlessly step into the impossible. Early in His Christian walk Stuart Campbell was called into a life of hiddenness in God. In this place of obscurity Stuart was drawn into an ever-deepening intimacy with God. For many years he journaled the visions, pictures, and words he received as he basked in the revelation light of His presence. He was led into a deep process of transformation from one identity into an entirely new identity. The two are so intensely unalike they are in conflict. In our new identity we are radically different. Stuart passionately carries a vision for global revival that is awakening in this hour. His vision for the church is for a total transformation from the church into a glorious pure and spotless bride who becomes a love slave for Christ. Much of this book "An Inward Journey into a life that is Real" is a compilation of his journaling during this time.

Book excerpt: The Inward Journey is the author's personal account of spiritual experiences with his spiritual master towards the path of self-realization, purification of EGO, and awakening of the spiritual heart. This book takes the reader on a beautiful journey between master and disciple. It talks about the importance of finding a master who can purify, awaken and guide the soul on the path of spirituality as without a perfect spiritual master there is no journey alone. The Inward Journey is filled with the author's writings about his spiritual master, god, and the path itself. Every religion has two aspects, the inner aspect and the outer aspect of the religion. The inner aspect of every religion is spirituality we know it in different names such as Sufism or Tassawuf in Islam, Kabala in Jewish, Gnosticism in Christianity, Yog in Sanathan Dharma, and so on and so forth. The inner aspect is the most essential of every religion as it purifies impurities of the soul, heart, and cleansing of the EGO which brings the soul to its original station, form, and position as it was in love, to love, towards love, and with love. This book is for everyone who is god-loving, kind, soft-hearted, and good seeking souls. Who is on a journey to find god and to reach the state of self-realization. An account of the journey and writings of students of the path for the students to follow and for the students to understand and to be with master with all their presence of mind, soul, and heart.

Book excerpt: “Finding the Inward Path” - The author's hypothesis is that Jesus came not to build a church but to build an earthly kingdom.He asserts that in the modern world, the internal life of the Spirit has been replaced by the externals of religious rituals, doctrines, rules, and hierarchies. “For many of the faithful, church might have been a diversion, a detour, perhaps even an impediment toward inward spiritual growth.” Believing that the kingdom of heaven is within, the author calls upon those who are ready and open to it to awaken to a higher level of consciousness in order to experience a true inner transformation of the heart..
Download or read book Renovation of the Heart written by Dallas Willard and published by Tyndale House. This book was released on 2014-02-27 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Christians, we know that we are new creations in Jesus. So we try to act differently, hoping this will make us more like Him. But changing our outward behavior doesn’t change our hearts. Only by God’s grace can we be transformed internally. Renovation of the Heart lays a biblical foundation for understanding what best-selling author Dallas Willard calls the “transformation of the spirit”—a divine process that “brings every element in our being, working from inside out, into harmony with the will of God.” This fresh approach to spiritual growth explains the biblical reasons why Christians need to undergo change in six aspects of life: thought, feeling, will, body, social context, and soul. Willard also outlines a general pattern of transformation in each area, not as a sterile formula but as a practical process that you can follow without the guilt or perfectionism so many Christians wrestle with. Don’t settle for complacency. Accept the challenge Renovation of the Heart offers to become an intentional apprentice of Jesus Christ, changing daily as you walk with Him.
Download or read book Our Life Is Love written by Marcelle Martin and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-19 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Life is Love describes the transformational spiritual journey of the first Quakers, who turned to the Light of Christ within and allowed it to be their guide. Many Friends today use different language, but are still called to make the same journey. In our time people seeking deeper access to the profound teachings of Christianity want more than just beliefs, they want direct experience. Focusing on ten elements of the spiritual journey, this book is a guide to a Spirit-filled life that affects this world. Quakers in the seventeenth century and today provide examples of people and communities living in the midst of the world whose radical understanding of Christ's teachings led them to become powerful agents of social change. The book offers a simple, clear explanation of the spiritual journey that is suitable not only for Quakers, but for all Christians, and for seekers wanting to better understand our spiritual experience and the fullness of God's call to us. The book would make an excellent focus for study groups. Marcelle Martin has led workshops at retreat centers and Quaker meetings across the United States. She served for four years as the resident Quaker Studies teacher at Pendle Hill and was a core teacher in the School of the Spirit program, The Way of Ministry. She is the author of the Pendle Hill pamphlets Invitation to a Deeper Communion and Holding One Another in the Light. In 2013 she was the Mullen Writing Fellow at Earlham School of Religion while working on this book.
