Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why and how did Korean religious groups respond to growing rural poverty, social dislocation, and the corrosion of culture caused by forces of modernization under strict Japanese colonial rule (1910–1945)? Questions about religion's relationship and response to capitalism, industrialization, urbanization, and secularization lie at the heart of understanding the intersection between colonialism, religion, and modernity in Korea. Yet, getting answers to these questions has been a challenge because of narrow historical investigations that fail to study religious processes in relation to political, economic, social, and cultural developments. In Building a Heaven on Earth, Albert L. Park studies the progressive drives by religious groups to contest standard conceptions of modernity and forge a heavenly kingdom on the Korean peninsula to relieve people from fierce ruptures in their everyday lives. The results of his study will reconfigure the debates on colonial modernity, the origins of faith-based social activism in Korea, and the role of religion in a modern world. Building a Heaven on Earth, in particular, presents a compelling story about the determination of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA), the Presbyterian Church, and the Ch'ŏndogyo to carry out large-scale rural movements to form a paradise on earth anchored in religion, agriculture, and a pastoral life. It is a transnational story of leaders from these three groups leaning on ideas and systems from countries, such as Denmark, France, Japan, and the United States, to help them reform political, economic, social, and cultural structures in colonial Korea. This book shows that these religious institutions provided discursive and material frameworks that allowed for an alternative form of modernity that featured new forms of agency, social organization, and the nation. In so doing, Building a Heaven on Earth repositions our understandings of modern Korean history.

Download or read book Heaven on Earth written by Sharifa Oppenheimer and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 2006-08 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 6 lectures and an essay, 1919-1920 (CW 297) World War I destroyed the structures, values, and self-confidence that created the seeming greatness of the nineteenth century. In its place stood ruins and the shards of a civilization. In response to this, Emil Molt--the director of the Waldorf-Astoria Cigarette Factory and a student of Rudolf Steiner--decided to establish a school to educate people who could create a new culture. Thus, the Waldorf school movement was begun. Rudolf Steiner agreed to act as the school's consultant, and his insights guided the school in accomplishing this ambitious task. The goal of this education was that, through living inner work guided by the insights of Rudolf Steiner, the teachers would develop in the children such power of thought, depth of feeling, and strength of will that they would emerge from their school years as full members of the human community, able to meet and transform the world. These lectures occurred around the opening of the first Waldorf school. They serve as an excellent, inspiring introduction to Waldorf education as a whole. Here Steiner outlines--with freshness, immediacy, and excitement--the goals and intentions of a new form of education and speaks to parents of prospective students. He explains the school's guiding principles and describes how parents must participate, with understanding and interest, in the awakening of their children's creative forces so that a healthier society can come about.

Download or read book Redeeming Productivity written by Reagan Rose and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2022-10-04 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feeling overwhelmed and unproductive? The answer isn’t to do more. What image forms in your mind when you think of productivity? An assembly line? Spreadsheets? Business suits or workplace uniforms? In the ancient world, productivity didn't conjure images like these. Instead, it referred to crop yield and fruit bearing. This agrarian imagery helps us understand productivity through a biblical lens. Jesus taught, By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit (John 15:8). Who doesn’t want to have a truly productive life—to bear much fruit? But how does this happen in the places we hold dear—the home, workplace, and in our communities? We often feel overworked and overrun, defeated and discouraged. The world says be productive so that you can get all you can out of this life. The Bible says be productive so you can gain more of the next life. In Redeeming Productivity, author Reagan Rose explores how God’s glory is the purpose for which He planted us. And he shows how productivity must be firmly rooted in the gospel. Only through our connection to Christ—the True Vine—are we empowered to produce good fruit. This book shows how we can maintain the vitality of that connection through simple, life-giving disciplines. Readers will discover manageable applications like giving God the first fruits of our days. Additionally, Reagan discusses how our perspective on suffering is transformed as we see trials as God’s pruning for greater productivity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens to us when we die? Will heaven be a place of fluffy clouds, angels and cherubs playing harps? Is the Christian faith just about securing a place in heaven when we die? In What on Earth is Heaven? James Paul explores the radical truth of what the Bible says about heaven and the afterlife, and its relevance for your life here and now on earth. Unpacking the biblical story of the separation and reunion of heaven and earth, he shows that heaven isn't a place somewhere 'out there' but a dimension of reality - the dimension where God's will is done. The Good News isn't that we get to escape to heaven, but that God invites us to be a part of his plan to bring the kingdom of heaven to our square inch of the earth. Insightful and accessible, What on Earth is Heaven? is a book for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of the Bible's teaching on heaven, or anyone who has wondered about the true meaning of finding heaven on earth. Life-affirming and uplifting, this book will fire your imagination as to how you can be a part of bringing heaven to the world around you.

If you know where to look, you can see that the coming of a new heaven and a new earth already has begun. Life on earth is renewed every time you live out Jesus's prayer that God's ways will be followed on earth. The work of God's Kingdom involves restoring what has been broken. This includes people, unjust systems, relationships, anything that has been separated from God and needs to be healed, reconciled, and set right. This is how heaven collides with earth--not following fiery destruction but in the power of restoring to life everything that God created. What you believe about God's plan for humanity and for his creation determines how you will invest your life. God calls all of us to this renewing work. You can help bring heaven to earth, starting today.

Download or read book I Am Living Heaven On Earth written by Melissa Drum and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-26 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I often wonder how Exodus 3:14 and Matthew 6:10 have become so misunderstood. Everyone talks about how much better Heaven is going to be, and how their pains and sorrows will be no more once they die. Yet, we live in Heaven or Hell every day on Earth by our thoughts and by our daily choices. Heaven and Hell are states of consciousness. We are meant to live in Heaven on Earth! Jesus and other great teachers demonstrated this by setting the example and left their wisdom in written books. We have much to learn from every flower, every tree, every season, and every animal. They know exactly what to do without being told, and God/Universe sends them everything they need to survive. When we are aligned with Source, we, too, become magnets attracting everything we need. This means that we don't have to make things happen on our own understanding. Everything flows easily and naturally to the soul when aligned. Abundance, ideal relationships, all of your hearts desires are achieved without effort. And this was my hardest, yet most enriching lesson to learn-to surrender with grace to the forces that hold me, and will continue to hold me in ways I've never dreamt possible!!! There were many times I have questioned myself, and wondered, What in the world am I doing? I felt like I was Noah building the Ark. What I know now is that I am an Ark builder! There was something inside of me telling me that if I kept strong in my faith, trusted and listened to that little nudging voice, then I would live a life beyond my wildest dreams. I knew deep down that this was bigger than me; it is my soul calling. I know I am being directed by a force far greater than myself, and I cannot erase these pictures that I hold in my imagination. I feel with divine love and happiness in my heart what this book will bring to millions of people. This feeling is imprinted upon my subconscious mind, and my subconscious mind creates exactly what I have come to believe and feel. I give thanks every day that this book will bring Heaven On Earth to the world. I have no idea how, but I surrender and trust in a power far greater than myself. I feel deep feelings of gratitude in advance for the magical outcome. The Secret teaches us that, "everything that has ever been invented or created throughout the history of humankind began with one thought. From one thought, a way was made, and it manifested from the invisible into the visible." When Henry Ford was bringing his vision of the motor vehicle into our world, people around him ridiculed him, and thought he had gone mad to pursue such a "wild" vision. He, however, knew much more than the people who ridiculed him. He knew The Secret, and he knew the law of the Universe. Ford has also been quoted saying, "Whether you think you can or think you can't, either way you are right." I choose to think that I can.
