Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing the Edward Carnell Library (Nine Titles Listed Inside) Rather than mounting a rational proof for God's existence, the author advocates here a "spiritual approach to God."

Download or read book A Passionate Commitment written by Crawford W. Loritts and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 1996-07-05 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We regularly attend church, know the hymns by heart, and teach our children about Jesus. We are doing the right things. So why do we feel so empty? Although Jesus promised His followers an abundant life, many Christians struggle with a lack of purpose, fulfillment, and zeal. Underneath all of their Christian activity, they feel cold and, at times, confused about the place and prominence of Jesus Christ in their inner lives. The problem, according to Crawford Loritts, is that we've lost our sense of purpose. While we may have a general sense of direction, we have assumed that somehow we can work out the details or that everything will just fall into place. While we outwardly conform to what we say we believe, we privately confess that we know God wants and deserves more from us. A Passionate Commitment will help you understand God's purpose for your life by challenging the things the world teaches you to hold dear. Crawford Loritts will help you revive your passionate commitment to the God of the universe.
Download or read book Being Faithful Christian Commitment in Modern Society written by Judith A. Merkle and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-09-02 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores how the Christian life is lived in a pluralistic situation where different contexts of belonging give rise to different moral challenges. While it is characteristic of modern life to exist in a postmodern situation where there is an erosion of comprehensive systems of meaning, we still live today in contexts of belonging. We still seek to gather out of the fragments of modern life the sustenance of a network of belonging, belief and practice which comprise a faithful life. The construction of such a life, not only for us, but for others, serves as the framework for our moral commitments. Furthermore, sustaining and transforming social frameworks which shape various aspects of human life form the life task of adult Christians.

Book excerpt: "In order truly to be a Christian--in order to authentically, maturely, and fully live the Christian life--we must decide to be Christian, and we must renew that decision each day. There is no other way," Mark O'Keefe, OSB, writes in Deciding to Be Christian: A Daily Commitment. Writing from his experience of Benedictine monastic life, teaching, and ministry, O'Keefe argues that going through the motions of being Catholic is to shirk our responsibilities as disciples of Christ. While it can be easy to succumb to the allure of society's many temptations, real "Christian faith ultimately offers us...a deeper sense of joy in possessing something more important and enduring." In today's world of multiple distractions, you'll find that "Deciding to Be Christian: A Daily Commitment" will help you develop a personal experience of God's presence and invitation, and ultimately a deep sense of joy.

Book excerpt: The Fifth-Century Political Battles That Forever Changed the Church In this fascinating account of the surprisingly violent fifth-century church, Philip Jenkins describes how political maneuvers by a handful of powerful characters shaped Christian doctrine. Were it not for these battles, today’s church could be teaching something very different about the nature of Jesus, and the papacy as we know it would never have come into existence. Jesus Wars reveals the profound implications of what amounts to an accident of history: that one faction of Roman emperors and militia-wielding bishops defeated another.
