Download or read book What Faith Is Not written by Mitch Finley and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2001 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a 'back door book' about faith. In his trademark accessible and thought-provoking style, Mitch Finley offers us a book that explores what faith is not, so that we can understand what faith is. Dispensing with common misconceptions of faith as a way around suffering, a source of secret knowledge, a security blanket, a crutch, a way to escape death, an answer to all questions, a solution to all problems, and an antidote to doubt, Finley helps us make the most of our finite human language in talking about our infinite God. Mixing wisdom from Scripture, tradition, and everyday life with humor and insight, Finley helps us understand faith as a gift that stretches our minds, helps us learn from suffering, motivates us to reach out to those in need, and leads us to more meaningful and joyful living.
Download or read book And They Shall Be My People written by Paul Wilkes and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “lucid, compassionate, [and] inspiring” chronicle of an American Rabbi’s struggle to keep the faith of his congregation (Chicago Tribune). Journalist Paul Wilkes spent a year with Rabbi Jay Rosenbaum of Congregation Beth Israel in Worcester, Massachusetts. He silently observed the Rabbi’s life and work, got to know his congregation, and listened in as he performed the myriad tasks both spiritual and practical that occupy a Rabbi’s long day. Wilkes quickly learned that Rabbi Rosembaum is an extraordinary individual—a spiritual leader deeply committed to his congregation, a Jewish scholar steeped in ancient tradition, and an American man too familiar with the temptations of secular society. Wilkes watched as Rabbi Rosenbaum worked—with unyielding confidence and nearly constant frustration—to draw his conservative congregation into more than just intermittent observance. This fascinating, thought-provoking book is at once an intimate portrait of a year in a rabbi’s life and a vivid account of the state of American Judaism today.

Download or read book The Myth of More written by Joseph R. Novello and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph Novello's new book has a simple but powerful message: People constantly chase after happiness, but in confusing happiness with pleasure, they set themselves up for continual frustration and failure. Pleasure is a short-term high that comes from without, while happiness is an abiding serenity that comes from within. Happiness lies in accepting who we are right now and what we have right now. A major obstacle to happiness is one's "lifetraps", patterns of behavior that helped us cope in childhood but which now cause us to be dysfunctional as adults. What began as habits end up as core components of our personality. But even after overcoming these lifetraps, Novello discovered, people still need to go further to find happiness; they need to discover the spirituality within life and within themselves.
