Download or read book Unseen written by Sara Hagerty and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we find contentment in God when we feel so hidden? Sara Hagerty unfolds the truths found in the biblical story of Mary of Bethany to discover the scandalous love of God and explore the spiritual richness of being hidden in him. Every heart longs to be seen and understood. Yet most of our lives is unwitnessed. We spend our days working, driving, parenting. We sometimes spend whole seasons feeling unnoticed and unappreciated. In Unseen, Sara Hagerty suggests that this is exactly what God intended. He is the only One who truly knows us. He is the only One who understands the value of the unseen in our lives. When this truth seeps into our souls, we realize that only when we hide ourselves in God can we give ourselves to others in true freedom--and know the joy of a deeper relationship with the God who sees us. Our culture applauds what we can produce, what we can show, what we can upload to social media. Only when we give all of ourselves to God--unedited, abandoned, apparently wasteful in its lack of productivity--can we live out who God created us to be. As Hagerty writes, "Maybe my seemingly unproductive, looking-up-at-Him life produces awe among the angels." Through an eloquent exploration of both personal and biblical story, Hagerty calls us to offer every unseen minute of our lives to God. God is in the secret places of our lives that no one else witnesses. But we've not been relegated to these places. We've been invited. We may be "wasting" ourselves in a hidden corner today: The cubicle on the fourth floor. The hospital bedside of an elderly parent. The laundry room. But these are the places God uses to meet us with a radical love. These are the places that produce the kind of unhinged love in us that gives everything at His feet, whether or not anyone else ever proclaims our name, whether or not anyone else ever sees. God's invitation is not just for a season or a day. It is the question of our lives: "When no one else applauds you, when it makes no sense, when you see no results--will you waste your love on Me?"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last forty years, many Catholics have experienced an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in their lives that resulted in a new passion for God and a zeal for spreading the gospel. In addition to a newfound love of prayer, Scripture, and the Eucharist, many have been blessed with the supernatural gifts of the Holy Spirit, such as tongues and healing. Yet as the years go by, many often experience a waning of the gifts of the Spirit as well as a lukewarmness creeping into their lives. What can we do so that fire for God, which may have been ignited many years ago, will continue to burn brightly in our hearts? In this book, Sr. Ann Shields offers us an inspirational message that will help us to persist in prayer and keep asking for more of the Holy Spirit in our lives each day. By taking a serious look at our hearts and repenting where we have strayed, and by staying close to God in Scripture and the Eucharist, we can reignite the fire that once burned within us.

Download or read book Stolen My Heart written by S. A. Ghandi and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2015-05-11 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stolen My Heart: The Thrill of Falling in Love and the Tragedy of Heartbreak is aimed especially at young adults. It is a story of love, romance, and heartbreak. It also tells how the lessons learned could inspire others. Says Rev. S. A. Ghandi, “This book is a true-life experience that I had with girls in my life. It is the journey of my love life, my pursuit of destiny, and the girl of my dreams. From one disappointment to the other, I never ceased to learn the great lessons of life in all of my predicaments and heartbreaks with these girls. It was the memories, the regrets, and the pains in retrospect I held over the years that led me to write this love tale.” Stolen My Heart is a true-life experience showing the thrill of falling in love, as well as the tragedy of heartbreak that author S. A. Ghandi experienced with girls throughout his life. It is a tale of the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of his love life. It includes the lessons he learned in retrospect from his heartbreaks and how he was able to deal with them. He says, “It has taught me never to give up on love. It has taught me to always embrace love and women. It has taught me more about love, tenderness, tolerance, compatibility and mutual understanding with the opposite sex.” While others may break down after their heart is broken, Ghandi had been able to turn his misfortune into an equivalent advantage for good, not succumbing to the destruction of his emotions for love and the pursuit of destiny. This book is written specially for those who have ever been in the mud and tasted the bitterness of love to find a stream of motivation and healing, one that flows from every hurt on every page. The author adds, “Every experience that I had with these girls has never left me the same. It has made me a better person. While the experience of heartbreak makes some people be more resentful towards love and women, it has taught me to be otherwise.”

Download or read book Outpouring of the Soul written by Rabbi Nachman of Breslov o.b.m. and published by Simcha Nanach. This book was released on 2016-07-07 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HH “This is the gateway to G-d, the righteous come through (/with) it!” (Psalms 118:20). Many great and famous tzaddikim (righteous/saints) asserted that they did not attain their lofty standing, except through this practice of personal prayer and dialog conducted frequently and constantly with G-d, especially in seclusion (Likutay Moharan, vol. 2, Torah 25). Whether one is G-d forbid in the utter abyss of hell and still sinking, May the Holy Merciful One G-d save us, or soaring and aspiring towards the utmost holiness, his entire survival and success is contingent on the words he pours out to G-d. The words are the paradigm of the soul, their expression will be the soul's determination. Outpouring of the Soul is the textbook for this, and as such, everyone should be very familiar with it, and keep it handy at all times. Rabbi Nachman of Breslov revealed that his entire enterprise is prayer. Many of his teachings are dedicated exclusively to prayer, and interspersed throughout the rest of his teachings, are many more important fundamentals of prayer. Outpouring of the Soul is a collection of all of these, and as such it is one of the Breslov classics. Outpouring of the Soul is a comprehensive compilation particularly addressing personal prayer. First, as an introduction, the book presents the various instances of personal prayer which are written in the Bible and the Scriptures, and then it follows with excerpts from the Talmud and other early works of our Sages. The main part of the book is a collection of all the teachings of Rabbi Nachman of Breslov intrinsic to prayer; how to pray, encouragement to pray, and so forth. Bringing down from the holy books Likutay Moharan, Sefer Hamidos (“Character – The Aleph Beth Book of Traits”), The Words of Our Leader Rabbi Nachman, The Life of Our Leader Rabbi Nachman, and from the holy books of Rabbi Nachman's chief disciple, Rabbi Nussun, including the holy book Likutay Aitzoas (A colleciton of directives/advice/remedies), the letters which are publish under the name Ullim Li'ti'roo'fa (Leaves for Healing), and Likutay Halachos. The final section of the book is an abridged excerpt from Likutay Halachos which explains extensively the idea of taking holy teachings and ideas and making prayers for them. As the name of the book already suggests, it is a guide and a manual to help a person really unburden himself before the One Holy Merciful G-d, and to be able to overcome all adversity and hardship, even in the most dire circumstances, may the Holy Merciful One spare us, one can prevail and rise above, with the help of these wondrous, awesome advice, remedies, and directives presented simply and understandably in this holy book. One should familiarize himself with the entire book, and keep it handy especially when things are tough G”F. Very great effort was made in the translation of this book to ensure that the most accurate and loyal word choice was provided. This book also includes the entire book, “Rabbi Nachman of Breslov; Who He Was and What He Said” which is available separately, by itself, as well. This book has around 100 teachings of Rabbi Nachman, and a transliteration of the Tikun Haklali – General/Comprehensive Rectification, as well as an English translation of “The Short Prayer” which many say daily, especially after the recital of the Tikun Haklalli. May we merit to fully utilize the powerful constructs and techniques brought down in this holy book. Na Nach Nachma Nachman MeUman!

Download or read book Stepping out the Continuation written by Evangelist Dr. Theresa Stokley and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a continuation of Stepping Out, which gave an account of my life before Christ and how I was on a spiral of self-destruction by means of drugs (Queen Pen), then becoming my best customer, gambling, and daring anyone to cross me, being arrested and facing fifteen to ninety years and how the Lord came in and rescued me. After the first book, I was encouraged to pen a continuation because they would tell me that I never went into my conversion, only the fact that I had been introduced to Christ and people would want to know what happened to me. This book is the continuation that I hope you'll enjoy and be inspired by.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These pages reflect J. W. Christopher's vision for the church. His vision is that Christians will grow strong in their faith, continually rejoice in the hope of the gospel, and sincerely love one another. Faith, hope and love, the virtues of the Christian life, are what Thoughts of a Modern-Day Sojourner is about. In this book you will find fresh new insights which are challenging. J. W. Christopher does not compromise and brings conviction where it is needed. He confronts many problems facing the church today and offers solutions. He challenges the popular notion today of what it means to be spiritual, showing another side of spirituality that is often neglected or forgotten. You will also find this work inspiring. There are many writings which encourage hope in the midst of suffering and trial. There are writings that comfort the hurting, describing what it means to endure hardship, and how to believe in hope when everything seems to be against it. This book is authentic in its many applications and concerns real-life issues. It is not a product of the Christian sub-culture. If you have suffered on your walk of faith, then you will likely find yourself in these pages. Thoughts of a Modern-day Sojourner promises enough variety to serve every kind of person who sojourns toward the heavenly frontier.
