Download or read book Namaste Meet My Jesus written by Bhagyam Moses and published by TEACH Services, Inc.. This book was released on with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bhagyam's desire was to bring hope of a better life to the poor children living in utter poverty. Her heart went out to the abused children who were never shown any love. She took pleasure in telling them about how much Jesus loves them and that He is building beautiful mansions for them. It was important for her to have them forget their current circumstance and visualize Jesus and the heavenly mansions He is preparing for them. Hundreds of children were given free education through this vision. The stories in this book are a sampling of the children's lives and what a message of hope, love and a Savior can do for these children. For twenty years, she worked in the villages and experienced the hardship that faced them. She always said, "There is no greater joy than to bring a poor, sad, and beaten child to experience the love of Jesus."
Download or read book The Jesus Dialogues written by Brennan R. Hill and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2015-03-06 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jesus Dialogues is a unique book. There is no other book that uses this interesting dialogue method to contrast and compare such an extensive number of religions. In each chapter, Jesus sits down with both women and men religious founders and leaders and talks with them on an equal basis about religious perspectives, past and present. The book is a thorough overview of Christianity, compared and contrasted with eight other religions as well as selected indigenous religions. A final chapter deals with the "why" and "how" of interfaith dialogue, which is so needed in today's diverse and global society. This book reflects the author's six decades of study and teaching in the areas of Christianity and world religions. It is based on sound scholarship, worldwide travel, and experience in interfaith dialogue. The Jesus Dialogues demonstrates that there is truth and a way to ultimacy in all religions. At the same time, listening in on these conversations reveals significant differences among religions. These dialogues help one realize that Gandhi was right when he said that we must listen to all religions in order to obtain just a glimpse of the divine.

Download or read book Spiritual Identities written by Jo Carruthers and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2010 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays considers the return of the religious in contemporary literary studies. In the twenty-first century it is now possible to detect a new sacred 'turn' in thought and writing. For some writers, this post-secular identity plays itself out in both a recuperation of religious traditions (Catholicism, Puritanism, Judaism) and a re-invention of the religious imaginary (apophaticism, messianism, apocalypticism, fundamentalism). In literary studies, the implications of the post-secular are revitalizing critical engagement with canonical works and fuelling the reclaiming of neglected writings as questions of the construction of spiritual identities come once again to the fore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walking On Holy Ground With Persons Suffering From The Alzheimer’s Disease explores the sacredness of the Alzheimer’s patients as well as draws the attention of clergy and laymen alike to acknowledge the sanctity of ministering to those suffering with the Alzheimer's disease.

This maxim of reverencing the sacredness in all persons is the crux of this book. This book will help you to minister fruitfully to the Alzheimer’s patients and to address their yearning for God and simultaneously provide them with spiritual sustenance. This book will undergird the prevalent traditional cognitive pastoral care ministry and help to appropriately meet the spiritual need of these non-cognitive patients.

Download or read book Theatre Is My Life written by Barbara J Sloan and published by Barbara J Sloan. This book was released on 2024-09-04 with total page 604 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meditation day books are popular spiritual or inspirational guides, but none have been written quite like this one. Drawing from over 50 years of working and creating, teaching and nurturing students in theatre, the author uses quotes from plays as a basis for rumination and the exploration of life, making this particular volume part memoir, part life philosophy, and part mini theatre history vignettes. This volume is written to be read each day, with one writing for each of 366 days of a year. With a spiritual message at the heart of the work, the book will also appeal to theatre and arts lovers. The author has many years experience in teaching the Enneagram, the Arts as a transcendent adventure, and other wisdom subjects. This meditation collection is good for any spiritual seeker who brings a clear heart and an open mind to spiritual exploration. As the author says, “One of the extraordinary things about working in the theatre day in and day out is that the words of the script of the play I am creating soak through my clothing, permeate my skin, penetrate my brain, and saturate my life.” From these quotes, Sloan has created short reflections on life, arranged thematically for every day of the year. Plays, written by real people over the centuries, brim with the same sort of emotions and challenges, joys and fears that impact us today. The characters warn, rejoice, fuss, complain, doubt, advise, and cheer their fellows just as we do today. In this work, Sloan suggests that reading and watching plays can assist us as we review the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual natures of our own lives. From new beginnings in January to tying up loose ends in December, these meditations become a daily traveling partner for those who want to reflect on how art and literature influence and become a part of our lives.

Yancey gently took away my blinders and blazed the trail through my own doubting fears, pious know-it-all, and critical balderdash until I saw the Savior anew and thought I heard him ask me, 'Now whom do you say that I am?' and I understood the question as I never had before." --Lewis B. Smedes, Senior Professor, Fuller Seminary "Philip Yancey takes the reader with him on his very personal journey to Jesus. In The Jesus I Never Knew, I became convinced that the Jesus I met--in some ways for the first time--has known me all along. This book is destined to become a favorite--to recommend to those still seeking Jesus and to pass along to those who've met him, but long to know him more." --Elisa Morgan, President Emerita, MOPS International

Download or read book In Whose Image written by Julia Fullerton and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-08-27 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Julia Fullerton tells of the struggle she has undergone and is still undergoing from a narrow, fundamentalist upbringing to becoming who she is today. Her struggle, though common to all, is distinctly unique to her. She tells her story simply, with heartrending honesty. It is poignant, raw, and sensitive without becoming maudlin, or overly dramatic. Julia's first book, Navigating the Impasse told parts of her story in a series of short allegorical cameos. This book tells it more thoroughly, as narrative. Her love of scripture is evident throughout the book, as is her willingness to travel down the rabbit warrens her thoughts, and ponderings take her as far as she can. In this book, Julia invites you to follow her on her meanderings, but more than that, she encourages you to find your own pathways to your own discovery of self to your own unique expression of and relationship with God.
