Download or read book A Call to Mercy written by Mother Teresa and published by Image. This book was released on 2018-09-04 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published to coincide with Pope Francis's Year of Mercy and the Vatican's canonization of Mother Teresa, this new book of unpublished material by a humble yet remarkable woman of faith whose influence is felt as deeply today as it was when she was alive, offers Mother Teresa’s profound yet accessible wisdom on how we can show mercy and compassion in our day-to-day lives. For millions of people from all walks of life, Mother Teresa's canonization is providentially taking place during Pope Francis's Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy. This is entirely fitting since she is seen both inside and outside of the Church as an icon of God's mercy to those in need. Compiled and edited by Brian Kolodiejckuk, M.C., the postulator of Mother Teresa’s cause for sainthood, A Call to Mercy presents deep yet accessible wisdom on how we can show compassion in our everyday lives. In her own words, Mother Teresa discusses such topics as: the need for us to visit the sick and the imprisoned the importance of honoring the dead and informing the ignorant the necessity to bear our burdens patiently and forgive willingly the purpose to feed the poor and pray for all the greatness of creating a “civilization of love” through personal service to others Featuring never before published testimonials by people close to Mother Teresa as well as prayers and suggestions for putting these ideas into practice, A Call to Mercy is not only a lovely keepsake, but a living testament to the teachings of a saint whose ideas are important, relevant and very necessary in the 21st century.

Download or read book It S All About Him written by Dr. Lois Brittell and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014-01-24 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Its All about Him comes from an author who has wrestled with God and her own emotions. The book reveals how God has met her, leads her, and cared for her in his faithfulness. Here is a practical, helpful work for Christians who desire to grow in their life with God. Rev. Kent Meads, Community Presbyterian Church d The statement Its all about Him often leads to the question Who is he (him)? When the author asks, Who do you think he is? she gets varying responses. A few guessed it is God. When answering the question from a biblical perspective, it becomes clear God is the center of the universe: its all about Him. This awareness conflicts with many of the assumptions at work in todays culture. A licensed psychologist, Dr. Brittell came across the question What is it all about? in many forms. People are searching for meaning and attachment, sometimes in all the wrong places. The loss of selfresulting from anxiety, depression, and other disordersis not only a personal loss but a cultural loss as well. For Christians there are answers in the Bible. Many have no idea how or where to find them. Those who are unfamiliar with Christian principles may have no idea where to begin looking for the answers. In reading Its All about Him you will find principles that were established at the time of creation and have continued to this day. Your sense of self, worth, and purpose are found in relationship with God. Finding God in a world full of noise, clutter, and fantasies is not always easy, but it is always simple. An excellent study for a small group setting. Rev. Rich Latta, pastor, Dinuba Presbyterian Church

Download or read book The Longing written by Benny Joe Diaz and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-08-08 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I wrote you, my family, and it comes to the end of my ramblings. Sure, I will continue to write. I thank you for taking your time; I hope it interested you. The Longing was just my journal. I didnt know Satan put a hit on me and God get it on me to share with the world. My honor as a common man is to stay on track and write appropriately. I have been praised and offended others on the subject. The reason Im shy about what I have shared is I was feeling like I sounded like a broken record, but my Indian name is Broken Pencil. I have, when I was younger, written inappropriately and hope and pray they stay lost and burned. Im very ashamed of my potty mouth as I feel words on paper are greater than words spoken. I am shy as I look in the mirror with my poets honor. My dream as I look, to be a master not to be a deaf, blind and mute. We all are, as I am, in a prison needing to be a god of war to realize the longing of myself. Love is everywhere even on the shelf. I love you, and everyone loves everybody else.
