Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of the bestselling Anam Cara comes a beautiful collection of blessings to help readers through both the everyday and the extraordinary events of their lives. John O’Donohue, Irish teacher and poet, has been widely praised for his gift of drawing on Celtic spiritual traditions to create words of inspiration and wisdom for today. In To Bless the Space Between Us, his compelling blend of elegant, poetic language and spiritual insight offers readers comfort and encouragement on their journeys through life. O’Donohue looks at life’s thresholds—getting married, having children, starting a new job—and offers invaluable guidelines for making the transition from a known, familiar world into a new, unmapped territory. Most profoundly, however, O’Donohue explains “blessing” as a way of life, as a lens through which the whole world is transformed. O’Donohue awakens readers to timeless truths and shows the power they have to answer contemporary dilemmas and ease us through periods of change.

Book excerpt: Poetry. "Yeats said, 'There is a second world but it is in this one.' Reading THE THRESHOLD OF LIGHT, I have a deeper feeling for what he means. These poems, in their exquisite simplicity, in their love and kindness, make sacred ground of daily experience, relationships and the natural world. In his poem 'Spring' Glaser writes, 'And she invites you into your own heart.' Entering there is how Yeats' second world blossoms into blessing."--John Fox, Founder of The Institute for Poetic Medicine "If ever a book found words for cosmic energy, it's THE THRESHOLD OF LIGHT. 'Light' becomes the dynamic force here; and in this sallow time in history we need this book more than ever. To live at the highest level of human thought is to refresh language; and Glaser shows that our ordinary daily acts are divine ones. This poetry blesses every day, and us, with its descriptions."--Grace Cavalieri, The Poet and the Poem from The Library of Congress "In this lovely collection, Glaser notices the way each glimmer of light dignifies: the curve of his wife's back, the 'fluid and flux' of fog, the way his daughter's eyes 'stare off at the large oak / unleaving...'. Glaser's own gaze gives off such brightness it illuminates simple things & the life of the spirit equally, making of each charged moment a kind of grace."--Rick Benjamin, State Poet Laureate of Rhode Island (2012-2016)

Download or read book The Soul s Slow Ripening written by Christine Valters Paintner and published by Ave Maria Press. This book was released on 2018-09-07 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does God want for your life? Christine Valters Paintner, bestselling Catholic author and online abbess for Abbey of the Arts, uses reflections, stories, guided activities, prayer experiences, and a variety of creative arts to help you patiently and attentively listen to God’s invitation. Everyone wants to understand God’s will for their lives. Christine Valters Paintner shares one of the most ancient paths to understanding from her study of monasticism and immersion into Celtic spirituality while living in Ireland. The Celtic way, which Paintner distills into twelve practices, offers discernment that focuses on the environment rather than the intellectual focus present in other forms of discernment. It allows for what Paintner calls the “soul’s slow ripening,” coming into the fullness of our own sweetness before we pluck the fruit. Each chapter begins with a story of a particular Irish saint—some well-known like Patrick or Brigid, others less so, such as Ita and Ciaran—and then introduces a helpful practice for discernment that the saint’s life illustrates. Paintner explores the call of dreams, the importance of thresholds, the practice of peregrination (wandering for the love of God), walking the rounds, learning by heart, soul friends, blessing each moment, and the wisdom of the landscape and the seasons. Readers are invited to explore these concepts through photography and writing. She invites us to contemplative walks with specific themes along with poetic writing prompts for expression. As you explore an alternate way of discerning a spiritual path—one which honors the moment-by-moment invitations and the soul’s seasonal rhythms—you will discover that this book will help you become more aligned with creativity and wholeness.

Book excerpt: "Her words will inspire and initiate you" Julie Tallard Johnson, Author of Wheel of Initiation. In Love at the Threshold, first time author Dina Gregory has written a very moving account of her intimate journey of self-discovery. Written in the wake of a sobering and heartrending divorce, this raw, revealing, and lyrical memoir is at once deeply personal and absolutely universal, illustrating the spiritual pattern of transformation: order, disorder, and reorder. Divided into the sacred cardinal directions as articulated by Dina's mentor, Julie Tallard Johnson, in her book Wheel of Initiation, Love at the Threshold serves as a compass for the heroine's journey home and is a reminder that in a world divided, the most revolutionary act is remembering that you are whole. For all who yearn to love and be loved, this book gives readers a front-row seat to the crucifixion of a woman's heart as the delusions of romantic love crumble and her faith is put to the test.

Can these two women learn to trust each other again? Will they find the power of God's grace in their lives?"
Download or read book The Complete Works of C H Spurgeon Volume 3 written by Spurgeon, Charles and published by Delmarva Publications, Inc.. This book was released on 2015-02-23 with total page 836 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 3 Sermons 107-164 Charles Spurgeon (19 June 1834 – 31 January 1892) is one of the church’s most famous preachers and Christianity’s foremost prolific writers. Called the “Prince of Preachers,” he was one of England's most notable ministers for most of the second half of the nineteenth century, and he still remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations today. His sermons have spread all over the world, and his many printed works have been cherished classics for decades. In his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to more than 10 million people, often up to ten times each week. He was the pastor of the congregation of the New Park Street Chapel (later the Metropolitan Tabernacle) in London for 38 years. He was an inexhaustible author of various kinds of works including sermons, commentaries, an autobiography, as well as books on prayer, devotionals, magazines, poetry, hymns and more. Spurgeon was known to produce powerful sermons of penetrating thought and divine inspiration, and his oratory and writing skills held his audiences spellbound. Many Christians have discovered Spurgeon's messages to be among the best in Christian literature. Edward Walford wrote in Old and New London: Volume 6 (1878) quoting an article from the Times regarding one of Spurgeon’s meetings at Surrey: “Fancy a congregation consisting of 10,000 souls, streaming into the hall, mounting the galleries, humming, buzzing, and swarming—a mighty hive of bees—eager to secure at first the best places, and, at last, any place at all. After waiting more than half an hour—for if you wish to have a seat you must be there at least that space of time in advance—Mr. Spurgeon ascended his tribune. To the hum, and rush, and trampling of men, succeeded a low, concentrated thrill and murmur of devotion, which seemed to run at once, like an electric current, through the breast of every one present, and by this magnetic chain the preacher held us fast bound for about two hours. It is not my purpose to give a summary of his discourse. It is enough to say of his voice, that its power and volume are sufficient to reach everyone in that vast assembly; of his language, that it is neither high-flown nor homely; of his style, that it is at times familiar, at times declamatory, but always happy, and often eloquent; of his doctrine, that neither the 'Calvinist' nor the 'Baptist' appears in the forefront of the battle which is waged by Mr. Spurgeon with relentless animosity, and with Gospel weapons, against irreligion, cant, hypocrisy, pride, and those secret bosom-sins which so easily beset a man in daily life; and to sum up all in a word, it is enough to say of the man himself, that he impresses you with a perfect conviction of his sincerity.” More than a hundred years after his death, Charles Spurgeon’s legacy continues to effectively inspire the church around the world. For this reason, Delmarva Publications has chosen to republish the complete works of Charles Spurgeon.
