Download or read book Becoming Good Becoming Holy written by Mark O'Keefe and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2005-05-31 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a long-awaited and needed book about the mutual relationship between moral theology and spirituality -- in the past, at the present time, and with hope for the future. It is a gentle and convincing book, both in its tone and in its arguments. It is in the best sense a scientific book and at the same time an existential text. It appeals to mind and heart. This is a most useful book for every Christian striving to become ever more a discerning person, aiming at integration of prayer and life. Books like this strengthen my unbroken optimism about the ongoing renewal of Christian ethics and Christian spirituality."" Bernhard Haering, Gars, Germany In 'Becoming Good, Becoming Holy', Mark O'Keefe makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the Christian life in its wholeness and integrity. By connecting love and justice; prayer, discernment, and moral decision making; fundamental option and spiritual growth, he challenges unhelpful divisions between Christian ethics and spirituality. His vision of conversion and of the Christian life as a dynamic totality will appeal to a wide range of readers."" Elizabeth Dreyer, Washington Theological Union Clearly written and insightful, 'Becoming Good, Becoming Holy' is a convincing response to the Second Vatican Council's call to renew Catholic moral theology by centering it on our life in Christ. Best of all, O'Keefe underscores both the pivotal connection between Eucharist and morality, and the integral role of prayer and discernment in Christian moral decision making."" Paul Wadell, Catholic Theological Union Mark O'Keefe, OSB, is Associate Professor of Moral Theology at St. Meinrad School of Theology and a Benedictine monk at St. Meinrad Archabbey. He is the author of 'What Are They Saying About Social Sin?' and his articles have appeared in 'New Theology Review', 'Irish Theological Quarterly', 'New Blackfriars', 'Eglise et Theologie', and other theological journals.

On her journey, she found God, who held her hand and is with her always. This book is an intensely moving and written from the heart and how there was fairy-tale ending. This is an intensely moving and excellently written book. About the AuthorSara Khan was born in 1969, oldest of five children. From an early age, her childhood was an unhappy one, which at such a young age she had no control over. When you are young the people you love most and trust are the people you turn to, she was trampled by family honour, family honour mattered more than anything at times more than life itself, her elders and their beliefs left her very confused. Writing the book brought back her troubled childhood, and although she does not go into detail about her sexual abuse in the book, she started to have flashbacks, and this was upsetting at times, but she managed to stay strong as she knew her story had to be told in order to help other victims. Brought up in a British country and raised with Asian values, which in reality was not a bad idea, if enforced correctly. Surrounded by a large family she always felt deep down as if she was adopted. She felt that she did not belong; inside she was hurting and had no one to share her terrifying pain. She managed to turn her life around and got married but the pain of her childhood was still there. Married to a lovely man, who has been her rock and who stood by her side in her fight for justice. She has two beautiful children who are her world and will protect them forever. Disowned by all her blood relatives for refusing to keep quiet, she wanted time to reflect and to put her suffering into perspective, she felt she had to make her voice heard. Each hurdle has served to make her a stronger person.
