The frank and open style that has endeared him to the world as pope is fully evident in these approachable pieces that give insight into the mind of the man who would become Pope Francis.

Anyone who has struggled with these questions can relate to Clifton L. West III, a Baptist church deacon who shares his story of an extraordinary life lived by an ordinary man. He writes about his faith and journey through life, offering a message of hope and encouragement for anyone who has struggled with challenges of their own. Of Life and Time focuses on the ingredients for a life well lived–– affirmation, love and righteous and loving instruction––even as it shares details about West, who attended school in Topeka, Kansas, just one year after the Supreme Court case Brown vs. the Board of Education of Topeka that led to school desegregation. Clifton, a runner, was national champion in the mile run in 1968, led the University of California track and field team, and almost made the 1972 Olympic team. Through his own personal struggles––with the help of his savior, Jesus Christ––Clifton comes to the realization that unconditional love and relationships with others provide the key to good living, even as he realizes his looming mortality. Of Life and Time delivers his timely message of personal testimony, a resounding message of unrelenting hope and unconditional joy for those willing to receive it.

Download or read book Only Love Can Break Your Heart written by David Samuels and published by Catapult. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Only Love Can Break Your Heart, David Samuels writes with a reportorial acumen and stylistic flair that recall the pioneering New Journalism of Gay Talese, Tom Wolfe, and Joan Didion. Combining elegant, nuanced personal essays with far–out reporting—on the lives of radicals in the Pacific Northwest, anti–abortion zealots, demolition experts, suburban hip–hop stars, and more—Samuels shows us an American landscape whose unsettling mix of profound dislocations and blue–sky optimism is both instantly recognizable and thrillingly new. These essays display his unusual sensitivity to both the tragic and comic dissonances that bubble up from the gap between the American promise of endless nirvana and the lives of salesman, dreamers, aging baseball legends, crackpots, atomic test site workers, and dog track bettors who struggle to live out their dreams one day at a time.

Book excerpt: How being real with others will help us fight sin and grow authentic friendships Every woman longs for authentic friendships with others-but in a world of carefully-curated social media, most of us are merely keeping up appearances.

When we drop the act and allow ourselves to be vulnerable by sharing our struggles, not only are we strengthened in our fight against sin, but we experience authentic fellowship and real friendship. Catherine Parks empowers women to fight side by side against their sin, and shows how by getting real about our struggles, we can create genuine community in an "I'm fine" culture.

Download or read book The New Phoenix written by Jackie Madison and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We find a bird called the phoenix, which according to myth is symbolic of death and resurrection. According to Greek mythology, the sun god was the mentor of the phoenix, and around the world there are similar mythologies regarding the phoenix. In The New Phoenix, author Jackie Madison explains how just like the phoenix is resurrected from death, there is a doctrine that has survived several false religions and movements. The religions will die, but the doctrine—which is the spirit of that religion—will rise again. The doctrine she is referring to is the Kingdom Now movement, also known as Dominion theology. Jackie shares her firsthand experience walking on dangerous ground, as she finally learns the truth about this doctrine, the movement, and its leadership. With each resurrection of this theology and doctrine, the followers of the movement proudly announce that God is doing a new thing. But God isn’t doing a new thing. The phoenix is rising again!

Download or read book Why I Believe in God written by Jo O. De Deus Brasil and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: João de Deus Brasil's book comprises two independent but related works: Why I Believe in God and Atheism: a Self-Delusion. In Why I Believe in God, the author reveals the origins of his faith whereas in Atheism: a Self-Delusion he refutes atheists' arguments expressed by their current world leader, Richard Dawkins, in his best-seller God, a Delusion. Regarding the renowned biologist's ideas, João de Deus states: - In his book, Richard Dawkins does not provide any theory capable of scientifically justifying his negation of God's existence. And besides, he does not put forward any evidence whatsoever, either scientific or empirical, in support of that nonexistence. - Between the lines of his own words, one can clearly see his subconscious knowledge about the life of the spirit, anterior and posterior to material life. - By analyzing his quotations of other wise, monistic men, without even excluding the magnificent Albert Einstein, one can clearly perceive that they themselves have this subconscious knowledge, and they reveal it as they express their thoughts. - Materialism is, therefore, a delusion. The true monist does not exist, for all of us have subconscious knowledge of our spiritual existence before, during, and after our material lives. We express ourselves according to this knowledge, whoever we are: believers or skeptics, intellectuals, scientists, or illiterate peasants. - In the same way, we are also aware of the existence of God, and that's why faith is revealed in children. For the same reason, among many others as we have seen, faith is revealed in all peoples and cultures, with no exception. - These realities, perfectly clear for those who want to see, provide irrefutable, absolute proof that atheism, like materialism and monism, is a self-delusion.
