Download or read book The Naked Mystic written by James Rq Clark and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-14 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He can function as a priest no longer. Perhaps the burden of a priestly vocation is too heavy. Or perhaps he's lost faith in the Church's ability to lead people to God. He doesn't know. After resigning his position, he leaves his parish and heads for the relative solitude of a rural town in South-West England. His only close companion is his dog, and it's through the dog that he meets an enigmatic character who will challenge his Christian persona and his belief structures in a catastrophic and, ultimately life-giving, way. This is an autobiographical account of one man's mystical journey, taken through The Dark Night of the Soul. On this journey that will teach him the true meaning of spiritual poverty, he is stripped of his religious persona and plunged deep into the abyss of a purifying process that seems to him to be a place from which there is no escape. But in his guide's ruthless hands, he discovers a new way of relating to his faith and the scriptures that define it; a level of freedom and contentment for which he has been longing. And he realizes that God has been staring him in the face all along. James RQ Clark is a former teacher and Anglican priest. Born of a French-Mauritian mother and an English father who spent his working life roaming through Africa, the Middle and Far-East, James attended a Catholic boarding school in the UK. After a life-changing encounter with God in the early 80s and a stint in a British Charismatic Evangelical House Church, he re-connected with his Catholic roots and studied for his Theology degree at a Catholic college of the University of Surrey. A journey through teaching and school chaplaincy led to his ordination in the Anglican Church of New Zealand in 2012. These days he is settled in an old house, in an old town in Dorset, South-West England. He walks his dogs, swims in the rivers, thinks, writes, and occasionally sees people for transpersonal counselling and spiritual direction. "The Naked Mystic is not for the faint of heart, but it is for those of us looking for guidance through this labyrinth we call life. A beautiful story of a man's journey into, and out of, the darkest corners of his mental struggle to know God. For anyone who believes the bible is the beginning and the end of spiritual understanding - this book is for you. For anyone who questions the role of institutions in the world of God - this book is for you. For anyone who struggles with loneliness and fear - this book is for you. A story about the end of stories. While intimate and particular to one man's struggle, it remains extraordinarily relatable and helpful - Woven in such a way that helps us understand the bible in a way that helps us understand our Self. In these times of widespread fearmongering and quarantine, The Naked Mystic offers us a guide to being okay with being alone. No doubt, The Naked Mystic is a spiritual autobiography worthy of the name." B.R.

Download or read book Waiting on God Routledge Revivals written by Simone Weil and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-10-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A work first published in English in 1951, Waiting on God forms the best possible introduction to the work of Simone Weil, for it brings us into direct contact with this amazing personality, at once so pure, so ardent, so utterly sincere, yet normally so reserved that only her closest friends guessed the secrets of her inner life. The first part of the book concerns her letters written to the Reverend Father Perrin, O.P., who befriended her at Marseilles and, the only priest she knew, became her intimate friend. The second part of the book concerns essays and reflections on such subjects as education, human affliction and the love of God, prayer, and forms of the implicit love of God.
Download or read book The Place of Knowing written by Emma Lou Thayne and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out of an excruciating accident, Emma Lou Thayne is offered a breathtaking view of life after death. This experience becomes the catalyst for reflection on what matters most in a lifetime. With an open and honest voice, out of years of being an inspiration as an LDS woman, wife, mother, church worker, and professional, she invites readers into a real, sometimes painful, more often joyous spiritual journey.Learning in a busy life to relish silence and afford solitude gives mystical dimension to being a Mormon matriarch. Her words to the hymn Where Can I Turn for Peace? written in personal anguish, become a plea for peace on a global scale. This is a book about love and loss, expectation and fulfillment in the healing power of nature, medicine, human connection and Divine intervention. Mostly, this is a series of love stories that bind generations, family, friends and strangers to each other.Since my accident, the nanoseconds, the smallest measure of time of my being back from death, mount up to years as the mystical connections multiply like stars in the heavens. Days go by so fast I cant live them. Only reflection saves their gifts to my life. I hope this book makes clear that they are there for anyone, the small miracles. But only through paying attention can we respect and retain what is there to awaken us, to guide us to a state of realization.

Download or read book How to Cook Your Daughter written by Jessica Hendra and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the daughter of the bestselling author of Father Joe: the poignant and ultimately hopeful memoir of a young girl’s struggle to live a normal childhood in the chaotic seventies, and to overcome sexual abuse by her famous father Earlier this year, Tony Hendra’s memoir, Father Joe: The Man Who Saved My Soul, spent thirteen weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. The book detailed his life as a comedian who launched the careers of John Belushi and Chevy Chase and helped create such cult classics as This Is Spinal Tap, while he struggled with inner demons including alcohol and drug abuse. But there was a glaring omission in his supposed tell-all confessional: his sexual abuse of his daughter, Jessica Hendra, when she was a young girl. After more than thirty years of silence, Hendra has decided to reveal the truth. In this poignant memoir, she reveals the full story behind the New York Times article that rocked the world and detailed her father’s crimes. But Jessica’s story is no footnote to her father’s story. No One Was Listening is also the inspiring story of her own journey, and how she was finally able to find healing within, after years of struggling with anorexia, bulimia, and low self-esteem. Set against the backdrop of the chaotic seventies, Hendra’s memoir follows Jessica and her sister Kathy as they strove to make a normal life for themselves amidst the madness, sex, and drug abuse that her parents and their friends—many of the household names in the world of show business—participated in. No One Was Listening reveals the hope and heartache of a young girl who was faced with a loss of innocence at an early age, who faced a slow and painful recovery, and who finally found contentment and peace within.
