Download or read book I Have Come to Tell the World That God Exists written by JUNE KLINS and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-11-28 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1981 a beautiful lady appeared to six young people in the village of Medjugorje in what is now Bosnia-Herzegovina. She said, I have come to tell the world that God exists. He is the fullness of life, and to enjoy this fullness and peace, you must return to God. She told them that She was the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Queen of Peace. She has continued to appear since 1981 to give messages of peace, love and joy. She is confiding ten secrets to each visionary and promises to leave a visible sign at the place of the apparitions in Medjugorje. This time of grace is for conversion and deepening of faith. After the visible sign, those living will have little time for conversion. Many books have been written about Medjugorje, but this one, and Volume I and Volume II of this series, are different. They include not only information about Medjugorje and talks and interviews with the visionaries, but also heartfelt testimonies of people who have been healed and changed through Medjugorje, and advice, written from the heart by ordinary people, on how to live the messages. This book will truly touch your heart and lift your spirits.

Download or read book Look We Have Come Through written by Lara Feigel and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2022-08-18 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Her intensity and intimacy are engaging' Blake Morrison, Guardian 'A lovely, urgent, serious book' Tessa Hadley 'Refreshing and unexpected' Daisy Hay, Financial Times Brilliantly interweaving literary criticism, biography and memoir, Look! We Have Come Through! is a captivating exhumation of an author and a compelling manifesto for exposing ourselves to difficult and dangerous views. Lara Feigel listens to birds outside her window – their circling, strident calls – and thinks of D. H. Lawrence. It is the spring of 2020 and, as the pandemic takes hold, she locks down in rural Oxfordshire with her partner, her two children, and that most explosive of writers. Proceeding month by month through the year, she sets out to start again with Lawrence: to find vital literary companionship; to use him as a guide to rural living and even, unexpectedly, to child-rearing; to find a way through his writing to excavate the modern world she feels he helped bring into being. Tracing the arc of Lawrence's life and delving deep into his writings, she confronts his anger, his passion, his tumultuous vitality. In the process, she faces some of today's most urgent dilemmas, from secular religion to the climate crisis, from sex and sexuality to feminism's ideas about motherhood. And, as she watches the seasons change alongside Lawrence, Feigel finds the rhythms of her own life shifting in unexpected ways.
Download or read book I Have Come to You From the Past written by Stefaniya Hessen Darmstadt and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-03-22 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Spirit and Soul, born into the material world, as well as into other worlds, is a puzzle to ponder over, and the one who does it finds out the truth: what a human being is who created humans, why and what humans must become. Human soul, mind and conscience are the powers of energies that wake up to start building and bring people to higher levels of discovering one’s inner nature and pave new ways to make a journey into the unknown. I have been writing poetry since my childhood. My words express how my heart feels, as they probe life as the power of phenomena from any points of view: an observer, a teacher, a protector and God inside myself. I am a parapsychologist by nature. Since I was a child, I have felt acute pain in the souls of persons I met and their inner powers of energy, which could not come out because of soul suppression. I always see a different way of passing through life, often opposite to the one a person has chosen. I learnt to see beyond physical forms, going deep into the reasons behind one’s choice. My gift later outgrew my childhood ambitions and I started to examine and decipher the forces that drive a human being and sometimes push him/her to the sidelines of life; who and why compels a human to be born in this world, being not perfect just as anything else. For many years I have been researching into human soul and mind as material forces that are people’s inner roots; I consider these from the perspective of other dimensions that I call spiritual worlds, where I apply the truth I discovered and my books are all about this. This is my first book of poems that combines my childhood, youth and present-time experiences. Stefaniya Hessen Darmstadt – Zolotareva

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At an early age, I discovered that I was not a farmer, and thanks to my father's insistence, I discovered the Merchant Marine and found a home there. Unfortunately, that was short-lived.—the war ended, and it was back to the farm? No, that was not for me! The Army sounded fine for a lost soul, but it got me into another war where I rose to the rank of Staff Sergeant as I toured Europe until honorably discharged. My military service helped me with twenty-five years of gainful employment and experience in the rocket and space business until retirement and dreaming of publishing this book in later years that have finally come. To those who read this and didn't finish schooling, go back, or look at those ten fingers and say, "Teach me what I need to know to succeed"
Download or read book Jesus As I Have Come to Know and to Deeply Love Him written by Larry V. Murphy and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2014-06-08 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is very much about The Gospel of Thomas - that much-too-little-understood "alternative" gospel which the early Christian church condemned and banished into virtual obscurity for nearly 2000 years. But mostly, the book is about Jesus. Thomas's gospel acts as our guide as we go through the book delving into what the author feels Jesus is trying to convey to us. So much of that is about Awareness - Consciousness - of God's Kingdom as ever-presence NOW, the author contends. Above all, this book is about precisely that which the author wished to convey in the book's title: Jesus As I Have Come To Know And To Deeply Love Him. The author has come to know a very approachable and human Jesus, as well as a courageous spiritual and social rebel who faced-up to both Rome's Empire and the Jewish aristocracy without blinking. The universal love of Jesus was increasingly experienced by the author as the book progressed, deepening the author's own love for Jesus.

When she arrives at the idyllic getaway, she’s pleased to find that the owner is a handsome man by the name of Calvin Wells—and he’s eager to introduce her to his easygoing way of life. But there are things Grace discovers that she’s not too pleased about: A lack of cell phone service. A missing woman. And a feeling that something isn’t right with the ranch. Despite her uneasiness, the two bond and start to fall for one another. However, as her departure date nears, things change for the worse. What began as a playful romance soon turns into a complicated web of lies. Grace grows wary of Calvin as his infatuation for her seems to have morphed to obsession. Calvin fears that Grace is hiding something from him—including her reason for staying at his ranch to begin with. Vacation flings typically end in heartbreak, but for Grace and Calvin, it’ll be far more destructive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If my life and experience is of some interest, it is chiefly so because I have lived through interesting times, in an interesting country, traveled to many interesting places, and been accompanied along the way by interesting folk." John de Gruchy is a renowned South African theologian and an inspiration to many. An expert on the work of the anti-Nazi theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer, De Gruchy is also a local struggle icon in his own right. In this book, we trace his story from his Viking ancestry, via a seafaring grandfather and illegitimate grandmother, to where he became an ecumenical activist for the South African Council of Churches and up to the present. We journey through a South Africa in transition and a rapidly changing global society. Along the way we meet varied, often controversial people, like Albert Luthuli, Jaap Durand, P.W. Botha and Constand Viljoen. With a foreword by his friend Desmond Tutu, this is the tale of an extraordinary life lived to the full.
Download or read book Complexity Theories of Cities Have Come of Age written by Juval Portugali and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-03 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, our cities are an embodiment of the complex, historical evolution of knowledge, desires and technology. Our planned and designed activities co-evolve with our aspirations, mediated by the existing technologies and social structures. The city represents the accretion and accumulation of successive layers of collective activity, structuring and being structured by other, increasingly distant cities, reaching now right around the globe. This historical and structural development cannot therefore be understood or captured by any set of fixed quantitative relations. Structural changes imply that the patterns of growth, and their underlying reasons change over time, and therefore that any attempt to control the morphology of cities and their patterns of flow by means of planning and design, must be dynamical, based on the mechanisms that drive the changes occurring at a given moment. This carefully edited post-proceedings volume gathers a snapshot view by leading researchers in field, of current complexity theories of cities. In it, the achievements, criticisms and potentials yet to be realized are reviewed and the implications to planning and urban design are assessed.
