Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does man seek in religion, and what should he seek in it? How does God reveal Himself in order to bring man to a knowledge of the Truth? How does suffering help this revelation to occur? These and other questions were discussed by Fr. Seraphim Rose, an Orthodox Christian monk from the mountains of northern California, during a lecture he gave at the University of California, Santa Cruz, in 1981. The contents of this lecture comprise God's Revelation to the Human Heart. Drawing from a variety of sources -- the Holy Scriptures, patristic writings, the lives of both ancient and modern saints, and accounts of persecuted Christians behind the Iron Curtain -- Fr. Seraphim goes to the core of all Christian life: the conversion of the heart of man, which causes it to bum with love for Christ and transforms one into a new being.

Download or read book The Spiritual Heart written by Ron Jackson and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biblical word “heart” has been to some degree a mystery in the body of Christ. Did you know that “Jesus” is in the Bible 983 times, “Father” (God) 979 times, and “heart” 830 times? This clearly signifies that the biblical word “heart” is important to God. Humankind has two types of hearts, a physical heart and a spiritual heart. In the Bible, “heart” refers to our spiritual hearts, not the physical heart. Though most people in the Body of Christ touch their chests when referring to the biblical word “heart”, the spiritual heart is not in the chest. The spiritual heart is the soul (mind, will, emotions). Physically, it is located inside of your head. The purpose of this book is to gain a better understanding of our spiritual hearts. Our ultimate goal is to demystify the biblical word “heart.” This book will provide comprehensive knowledge by God inspired spiritual visual aids and revelation of scripture. As we all know, there is plenty of information on the physical heart but very little information on the spiritual heart. For instance, we know that your physical heart is located inside your chest and pumps blood throughout your body. We also know that exercising and eating right will make your physical heart healthy. Where is your spiritual heart located? What is the purpose of your spiritual heart? What makes your spiritual heart healthy? This book will provide answers to these questions and many other inquiries you may have concerning your “Spiritual Heart”.

Download or read book Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ Revised Edition written by John Piper and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2004-10-27 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ-the divine Person revealed in the Bible-has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do his will, and you will see the truth of his Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.
