Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us are concerned about the moral issues presented by modern technology. We wonder about the appropriate use of genetic engineering or the limits that should be placed on the use of medical technologies at the end of life. Yet, as we debate these important issues, we often overlook the more profound ways in which modern technology shapes our daily lives in the form of notebook computers, video games, cell phones, PDAs, i-pods, and microwave ovens. Richard Gaillardetz offers a thought-provoking series of reflections on how the technological "shape" of our daily lives can make it difficult to cultivate an authentic Christian spirituality. Gaillardetz has no interest in throwing out all of our TVs and computers. What he does offer is the hope that through the wisdom of our Christian faith we can transform our days and recover graceful living without abandoning technology altogether." Richard R. Gaillardetz, PhD, is the Murray/Bacik Professor of Catholic Studies at the University of Toledo. He is a theologian, popular speaker, and author who has written seven books, including, A Daring Promise: A Spirituality of Christian Marriage, and numerous articles. In 2000 he received the Sophia Award from the faculty of the Washington Theological Union for his contributions to the life of the church and his writing has garnered him numerous awards from the Catholic Press Association. He is married and the father of four sons.

This book includes: A dedicated page to express your need before God on the day you start your 100 day of prayer, 100 entries to help you focus your prayer through the truth of God's Word and character, Leading prayers to give you a jump start, Writing space to capture your conversations with the Father and the spiritual transformation you experience day by day, and A concluding page to memorialize how God answered your prayer and transformed you through the process.

John Snyder's excellent book provides a beautiful pathway to journal our 100 days of focused prayer as we are transformed in the process. —David Pack, Saddleback Church/ Orange County, Calif. Grammy winning Recording Artist & Music Producer In this 100 day pilgrimage, Dr. Snyder has woven four great Christian traditions together—daily scripture reading, devotional insight, prayer, and journaling.

Book excerpt: Loneliness knows no season. It can strike during times of busyness and a full social calendar just as easily as it can when plans are canceled and friends are far off. And we may be surprised just how common loneliness is among our friends, family, and colleagues. But it isn't inevitable and it isn't forever. In Transforming Loneliness, Graham invites you to surrender your loneliness to God and work with Him in making healthy choices that lead to life, joy, and community. Through biblical principles and examples, along with true-life stories, you will discover how the core needs that drive your loneliness--the need to be known, to be chosen, to belong, and to be valued--can be met as God transforms your loneliness into a positive experience that accomplishes His purposes and draws you into a closer, more intimate, and more meaningful relationship with Him and others. Loneliness is not the last word. God designed you for connection, and through his power you will find it. Includes a reader's discussion guide and the UCLA Loneliness Survey.

Download or read book You Can Change written by Tim Chester and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2010-03-04 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's about heart change, not behavior change. That's the conviction of Tim Chester as he seeks to help everyday Christians "connect the truth about God with our Monday-morning struggles." This interactive book, laid out in workbook fashion, is for newer Christians struggling with sin and for more mature Christians who have plateaued in their faith as they seek to find victory over sin in their lives. With a conviction that sanctification is God's work and the journey to holiness is joyful, Chester guides readers through a "change project"-beginning with the selection of one area of life they would like to modify. Each chapter includes a question (e.g., Why would you like to change? What truths do you need to turn to?) to guide readers as they deal with a specific sin or struggle, truths from God's word, and a reflection guide to help readers through their change project.
