Download or read book Intimacy With God written by Tonya Raby and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-08 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is no greater intimacy than "Intimacy with God". Establishing an intimate relationship with God is one of the best relationships you could ever have. I was taught this by my late Grandmother, and have since established my own personal intimate relationship with God. However, it wasn't until I reached the mature age of 30 that I realized what intimacy with God truly was. It was during many trials and tribulations of my life that caused me to seek God with my whole heart and surrender my life to Him. Before I truly established intimacy with God, I had drifted so far from Him and was living a life that was displeasing to Him. One day when I was at my lowest, I began to reflect on the things that my Grandmother had instilled in me at a very early age. I found myself on my knees crying out to God for His help. I found a church home and started attending Bible study, reading the Bible for myself, and meditating on the Word of God, and obeying His Word. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it". In this her first book, Tonya Raby shares her personal testimony and some of her life's experiences while on her journey of establishing "Intimacy with God". She shares scriptures from what she calls her personal toolbox (the Bible) to better help you undestand how you too can establish an "Intimate Relationship with God".

Download or read book Fervent LeatherTouch Edition written by Priscilla Shirer and published by B&H Publishing Group. This book was released on 2016-10-15 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You have an enemy . . . and he’s dead set on destroying all you hold dear and keeping you from experiencing abundant life in Christ. What’s more, his approach to disrupting your life and discrediting your faith isn’t general or generic, not a one-size-fits-all. It’s specific. Personalized. Targeted. So this book is your chance to strike back. With prayer. With a weapon that really works. Each chapter will guide you in crafting prayer strategies that hit the enemy where it hurts, letting him know you’re on to him and that you won’t back down. Because with every new strategy you build, you’re turning the fiercest battles of life into precise strikes against him and his handiwork, each one infused with the power of God’s Spirit. New York Times bestselling author Priscilla Shirer, widely known for her international speaking, teaching, and writing ministries, brings her new role from the 2015 film War Room into the real lives of today’s women, addressing the topics that affect them most: renewing their passion, refocusing their identity, negotiating family strife, dealing with relentless regrets, navigating impossible schedules, succeeding against temptation, weathering their worst fears, uprooting bitterness, and more. Each chapter exposes the enemy’s cruel, crafty intentions in all kinds of these areas, then equips and encourages you to write out your own personalized prayer strategies on tear-out sheets you can post and pray over yourself and your loved ones on a regular basis. Fervent is a hands-on, knees-down, don’t-give-up action guide to practical, purposeful praying.

Download or read book Yitz Greenberg and Modern Orthodoxy written by Adam Ferziger and published by Academic Studies PRess. This book was released on 2019-09-24 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixteen scholars from around the globe gathered at the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Jewish Studies in the bucolic Yarnton Manor in the Oxfordshire countryside in June 2014, for the first (now annual) Oxford Summer Institute on Modern and Contemporary Judaism. The current volume is the fruit of this encounter. The goal of the event was to facilitate in-depth engagement with the thought of Rabbi Dr. Irving “Yitz” Greenberg, concentrating particularly on the historical ramifications of his theological and public stances. Consideration was given to his lifelong and complex encounter with the Modern Orthodox stream of American Judaism and the extent to which his teachings functioned as “the road not taken.” This auspicious gathering was most certainly characterized by deep appreciation for Greenberg’s original outlook, which is predicated on his profound dedication to God, Torah, the Jewish people, and humanity. But this was by no means gratuitous homage or naive esteem. On the contrary, those in attendance understood that the most genuine form of admiration for a thinker and leader of his stature—especially one who continues to produce path-breaking writings and speak out publicly—is to examine rigorously and critically his ideas and legacy. We are confident that the creative process that was nurtured has resulted in a substantive contribution to research on the religious, historical, and social trajectories of contemporary Judaism, and, similarly will engender fresh thinking on crucial theological and ideological postures that will ultimately enrich Jewish life. This volume offers readers a critical engagement with the trenchant and candid efforts of one of the most thoughtful and earnest voices to emerge from within American Orthodoxy to address the theological and moral concerns that characterize our times.

Download or read book Exploring the Future of Christian Monasticisms written by Greg Peters and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-01-15 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The institution of monasticism in the Christian Church is in general decline, at least in so-called “first world” nations. Though there are many reasons for this, monastic leaders are confronted by the reality of fewer communities, monks, and nuns nonetheless. At the same time, many younger Christians are rediscovering the rich heritage of the monastic tradition. Though they themselves might not be called to join a traditional monastery, they are eager to appropriate monastic practices in their own lives. This had led to a movement known as the “new monasticism” or “secular monasticism.” Despite lacking a unified vision and any central organization, these new/secular monastics are attempting, in their own ways, to carry on the tradition and practices of Christian monasticism. As well, there is a movement within historical Christian monasteries to pour new wine into old wineskins. Traditional forms of monasticism are also generally flourishing in developing nations, breathing new life into monasticism. This volume looks at the current monastic landscape to assess where monasticism stands and to imagine ways in which it will grow in the future, leading not only to a renewed Christian monasticism but to new monasticisms.
