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.

Download or read book Called to Bless written by John Rice and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-05-23 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humans were created to bless one another, those they love and those they do not. According to Scripture (Num 6:27), God promises to release more of his blessings, more of his goodness, grace, and love into the world. In Hebrew the word for “bless” means “God’s intention.” When people speak words of blessing, in God’s name, they are praying for the fullness of God’s intentions to be released into their lives. In a world where division and polarization are becoming normative, God gives a “new” ministry resource—blessing ministry. The power of blessing can bridge those gaps and bring healing to the individuals involved. There is no individual situation, no community need where blessing prayers are not beneficial. Wherever there is joy and celebration in people’s lives, blessing prayers bring only more joy and thanksgiving. There is an awakening in the lives of God’s people wherever the ministry of blessing is being taught and practiced. Communities are experiencing greater health. Churches are becoming more alive. Hearts are being healed and lives transformed, simply by blessing others in Jesus’ name. God is calling his people to become a people of blessing!

We live in an age when many Christians have experienced several denominational and religious communities. Many wonder what to do with these experiences. At the same time many congregations are made up of people who come from different traditions, and the question is how to bring these diverse experiences into the life of the congregation in an enriching way. If we take as our starting point, the call of Abraham and Sarah to take a journey to an unknown land with the promise that their descendants would be a blessing to the nations, what might this look like in terms of our spiritual lives? Join with the author as he draws on his spiritual journey that has taken him into several denominational traditions, as well as his experiences as a pastor and historical theologian, to discern values and concepts that can help congregations and individuals make sense of their diverse spiritual experiences, so that together we might fulfill the Abrahamic calling, reaffirmed in Christ, to be a blessing to the nations.

Download or read book He Had to Break Me to Bless Me written by Ashley Magee Madry and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever asked, "God, why me?" Christians often share of the goodness of God, his grace, his mercy, his sacrifice, and his unconditional love. When they share the trials and tribulations they experience, they share as if their faith and belief in God were unwavering. Often, Christians lack transparency; they suppress the truth of their spiritual struggles when sharing with others their relationship with God. He Had to Break Me to Bless Me is about the personal journey of a Christian woman that lost her faith and belief in God following personal tragedies in her life. She questioned why she had to endure such pain and heartache. Where was God in the midst of her suffering? Why did God allow bad things to happen to good people? During the darkest times in her life, she was angry with God and felt as if God had robbed and cheated her, leaving her lonely and abandoned. Each chapter uncovers her emotional journey from being lost to being restored. Through her journey, she explores and exposes how the question of "God, why me?" is answered; while challenging believers to engage in a personal inventory of their preparedness to enter the kingdom of God. She introduces nonbelievers to Jesus Christ by sharing her testimony of spiritual immaturity to spiritual wholeness. From her personal journey of restoration, individuals will gain an understanding that there is a blessing in all trials and tribulations. All that is endured in life is according to God's divine purpose and plan for your life. After reading this book, you will have renewed faith and hope, realizing that God must break you to bless you and the blessing is for you to glorify God.

With wisdom, personal anecdotes, and hands-on exercises, Lord teaches readers everything they need to know to deliver powerful words with life-changing impact today.
