Book excerpt: This book will show you how the simple, often under-rated activity of walking can transform your life.I stumbled into walking when I was at University in Scotland, encouraged by a best friend whose family had always walked. I loved the feeling of freedom that it gave me and the chance to explore all the wonderful countryside around me, but I never thought that it would ever play such an important part in my life. It has, in fact, saved my life on a few occasions. In 1999 I was training to do a walk along the Great Wall of China for a charity where I was Head of Education. I was also being bullied and it was my regular walk training escapes to the Lake District that put things into perspective and helped me see what was really important. Then in 2005, we had to abandon a family holiday in Spain due to an acute back problem I sustained turning on a sun-lounger. I felt there was a message in this disaster regarding me not looking after myself, so once home I started walking. Not only did the back issue sort itself but I discovered many of the great benefits that walking brings and lost weight, toned up, was constantly in a much better mood, more positive and glowing ...... and others noticed. However, the greatest impact came in 2014 when the power of walking and the nature in which I love to walk, played a major role in my recovery from burnout and adrenal fatigue. Still today it is walking that keeps me on track, connected and putting me first. It doesn't matter whether you walk short or long distances. Whether you walk alone or with others. It doesn't matter where you walk, be it urban, rural or in wild mysterious places. What matters is that at any level most of us can do this and we can reap the many benefits both physically and mentally.

Kristen Strong knows about change--especially the kind you didn't choose or expect. What she's fought hard to learn over the years is that change is not something to be feared but something to be received as a blessing from a God who, more often than not, works through change, not in spite of it. Strong has learned to see change not as a grievance but as a grace. In this hope-filled book, she shows women how when we follow God's will, we receive blessings of contentment, purpose, and renewed strength. She encourages women to see change not as the end of their story but as the scenery for this part of life's journey. And she offers practical advice for coping with change in every part of life. Anyone who has struggled to adjust to life's transitions will welcome this warm and personal perspective.

Download or read book A Walking Life written by Antonia Malchik and published by Da Capo Lifelong Books. This book was released on 2019-05-07 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For readers of On Trails, this is an incisive, utterly engaging exploration of walking: how it is fundamental to our being human, how we've designed it out of our lives, and how it is essential that we reembrace it. "I'm going for a walk." How often has this phrase been uttered by someone with a heart full of anger or sorrow? Or as an invitation, a precursor to a declaration of love? Our species and its predecessors have been bipedal walkers for at least six million years; by now, we take this seemingly arbitrary motion for granted. Yet how many of us still really walk in our everyday lives? Driven by a combination of a car-centric culture and an insatiable thirst for productivity and efficiency, we're spending more time sedentary and alone than we ever have before. If bipedal walking is truly what makes our species human, as paleoanthropologists claim, what does it mean that we are designing walking right out of our lives? Antonia Malchik asks essential questions at the center of humanity's evolution and social structures: Who gets to walk, and where? How did we lose the right to walk, and what implications does that have for the strength of our communities, the future of democracy, and the pervasive loneliness of individual lives? The loss of walking as an individual and a community act has the potential to destroy our deepest spiritual connections, our democratic society, our neighborhoods, and our freedom. But we can change the course of our mobility. And we need to. Delving into a wealth of science, history, and anecdote -- from our deepest origins as hominins to our first steps as babies, to universal design and social infrastructure, A Walking Life shows exactly how walking is essential, how deeply reliant our brains and bodies are on this simple pedestrian act -- and how we can reclaim it.

Download or read book Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus written by Lois Tverberg and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ebook download of Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus, Lois Tverberg challenges readers to follow their Rabbi more closely by reexamining his words in the light of their Jewish context. Doing so will provide a richer, deeper understanding of his ministry, compelling us to live differently, to become more Christ-like. We'll begin to understand why his first Jewish disciples abandoned everything to follow him, to live out his commands. Our modern society, with its individualism and materialism, is very different than the tight-knit, family-oriented setting Jesus lived and taught in. What wisdom can we glean from his Eastern, biblical attitude toward life? How can knowing Jesus within this context shed light on his teachings for us today? In Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus we'll journey back in time to eavesdrop on the conversations that arose among the rabbis of Jesus' day, and consider how hearing Rabbi Jesus with the ears of a first-century disciple can bring new meaning to our faith. And we'll listen to Jewish thinkers through the ages, discovering how ideas that germinated in Jesus' time have borne fruit. Doing so will yield fresh, practical insights for following our Rabbi's teachings from a Jewish point of view.

Download or read book Walking in the Will of God written by Steve McVey and published by Harvest House Publishers. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The success of Steve McVey’s books—beginning with the 225,000–selling Grace Walk—testifies to readers’ hunger to get free of performance–focused Christianity and rediscover the grace–filled, relational God of the Scriptures. The issue of God’s will confuses and frustrates many believers. Steve McVey helps and encourages them with key biblical principles: Focusing on rules, Christians end up anxious, hesitant, and distant from their compassionate Father. Focusing on God’s relationship with them, Christians will feel assured He is a Person to trust, not a formula to figure out. Believers can relax, knowing that God wants to guide them and has given them the life and mind of Christ. The result of the grace–based relationship? A bold, no–regrets life, lived in light of God’s complete dependability. This kind of life—the kind of life every Christian desires—is revealed in Walking in the Will of God.

Download or read book A Brief Walk Through Christian History written by Justin Gatlin and published by Tyndale House Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-05 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Christianity Grew from a Dozen Disciples to a Worldwide Movement At the beginning of the first century, a teacher named Jesus of Nazareth shook Roman-occupied Israel with his preaching and teaching. When, several years later, the Romans crucified Jesus and sealed him in a tomb, his disciples were crushed and confused. Two thousand years later, more than two billion followers of Jesus can be found around the globe. Justin Gatlin tells the story of how that happened--from the miraculous resurrection of Jesus to the spread of Christianity throughout Africa and Asia in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. For each era covered in A Brief Walk through Christian History, Justin shows how Christians from that time period responded to Christ's call to spread the gospel message, described and defined what it means to be a follower of Christ taught and discipled people who joined the church. It is an amazing story--one in which you can see the hand of God in the growth and expansion of the church.

Download or read book A Labyrinth Walk Of Life written by Lewis Tagliaferre and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a collection of journaled essays leading to the inevitable belief in theological fatalism, aka Theofatalism. They include arguments from theology, psychology, politics, geology, technology, sociology, economics, history, cosmology and more. With this belief system, you can feel good inside no matter what happens outside. It may take several readings to get it, but anything worthwhile requires effort. The work relies upon religious scriptures and the analytical psychology of Swiss psychiatrist Carl G. Jung (1875-1961). The Chartres Labyrinth is used as the symbol for the walk of life that each of us is given. We leave the source at birth and meander around on earth through stages of growth and decline to return to the source when our life work is done. You don't have to search for your purpose in life, because you cannot avoid it. Essays in Part I discuss contemporary issues of life, and Part II focuses on the Jungian personality factors in aging. The scriptural evidence points to the will of God in every aspect of every life of every species on earth, i.e., immaculate immanence. This is not the manmade god in holy books, but the prime mover in the universe - generator, operator, destroyer - GOD. God above Gods. Don't believe in God? Never fear; God makes atheists and agnostics, too. That is the message of this book. The Psalm says, "You saw me before I was born and scheduled each day of my life before I began to breathe. Every day was recorded in your book!" (Psalm 139:16, NLT). Nothing from atoms to galaxies can happen outside the will of God. Ergo Theofatalism.

Download or read book I Walk by Faith Not by Sight written by Beatrice Guzzi and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People ask me, aEURoeHow did you do it having six children and raising them totally blind?aEUR I always give them the same answer. aEURoeWith the help of God.aEUR This is the gospel truth. I donaEUR(tm)t know how I would have done it without His help. It was not easy, but I was determined to have children with or without sight. I always wanted children, even when I was a little girl. I was always around them. I was the youngest of three, but when you come from a big Italian family, there are always kids around; and more than likely, a lot of babies to take care of and play with. So taking care of babies was not hard for me. I was always very comfortable taking care of my own. How would you feel if a doctor told you at the age of twenty-three that you are going to be blind and there is no cure? I was a newlywed at the time. Would my new husband want to stay with a blind wife? Would I be able to accept living in the dark in a sighted world? Would all my dreams of a home and children go up in smoke? I never wanted to be a burden to my husband. ThataEUR(tm)s when I drew on my faith and trusted in God. If God got me to it, He would get me through it. You will read about the miraculous ways God worked things out in my life. The way in which I had my children was miraculous. He said, aEURoeFor I know the plans I have for youaEUR (Jeremiah 29:11). God is always in control. When I was a young girl, I was very insecure and shy. But with this change in my life, I had to toughen up, and thataEUR(tm)s exactly what I did. I went through a lot of hard times in my life, but a lot of happy times too. The secret is how you deal with it all. There was fun and lots of laughter, and a lot of surprises too. LifeaEUR(tm)s journey is very simple. You just follow the Lord and you canaEUR(tm)t go wrong. I am still following that path today, and I can say that, aEURoeYes, indeed, I walk by faith, and not by sight!aEUR (2 Corinthians 5:7).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a call to prayer, a call from lethargy and apathy that is so common today, to effective prayer. This is a call to unlimited prayer; prayer that has great power and obtains wonderful results. Christian prayer is a source of great blessing and it is a means of focusing God's power and might on our needs and problems. It brings great answers, if we will pray. Why limit prayer, when God gives breathtaking answers, when we pray. Prayer has great power and brings wonderful results. It is like unleashing a dam of water, the pent up power rushes out of the reservoir and the power affects everything it contacts, it brings change. This book is a series of articles on prayer. A Call to Prayer is the first of four volumes on the prayer life. These articles were originally published in the online newsletter Voice of Thanksgiving. The articles are intended as lessons in prayer; written to promote thinking about prayer and to encourage further exploration of an effective prayer life. They were also written to foster a growth in devotion to God and the Christian life of faith. These articles are intended to encourage going to the Holy Spirit School of Christian life and prayer, where we learn to pray, not just prayers, but effective faith filled prayers.
