Download or read book On the Way written by James J. Rawls and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the Way is a book of reflections on one man’s journey of faith. Its origins lie in the universal longing of humankind for something beyond ourselves, for something once present that has diminished with the passing of time. This presence now is sensed only fleetingly, yet the longing persists. The title of the book has a double meaning. On the Way refers to the journey of faith, our lifelong pilgrimage from God and to God. But it also points to the one who leads us on this journey, the one who says: “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.” On the Way is a collection of one hundred devotional readings, reminiscent of Spurgeon’s classic Morning and Evening Daily Readings and the Benedictine Lectio Divina. It is intended to stir within the reader some forward movement in their own journey of faith. What people are saying about On the Way: “James J. Rawls draws on wisdom from across the ages. Here he shares his ongoing conversation with these many voices within the framework of a deep personal and practical faith. This book is a great gift and blessing!” —The Rt. Rev. Barry L. Beisner, VII Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Northern California “This is a wonderful book—beautifully written, insightful, and filled with wisdom and warmth.” —Gil Bailie, founder of The Cornerstone Forum and author of God’s Gamble: The Gravitational Power of Crucified Love (2016) “James Rawls has a capacity for clarity of thought and graceful articulation that the reader will find fully present in these meditations. Savor, consume and digest them. Repeat again and again.” —The Rev. L. Ann Hallisey, D.Min., Professional Coach and Organization Consultant, former Dean of Students, Church Divinity School of the Pacific, Berkeley

Download or read book Parables of a Paramedic written by Thomas Valentini and published by Bookbaby. This book was released on 2021-07-07 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Parables of a Paramedic" is a memoir about the author's experience as a paramedic and what it taught him about life, death, God, faith, and spirituality. The book takes readers on an eye-opening journey through patient interactions on emergency scenes and critical care runs. The author shares what he learns from patients of the five major faiths: Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and beyond. This is an unforgettable book that chronicles the pressing challenges we face such as disease, trauma, pathophysiology, aging, social ills, moral and ethical degradation, a broken health care system, neglect, and the unseen. Everything in this book is true and backed up by the author's notes that were kept in a journal for over three decades. Through this memoir, the author examines spirituality, religion, and the life-changing observations of being a paramedic. Will his own faith endure - and what can he learn from others? In this unforgettable book, the author not only learns more about his own faith, but he also is able to work with another person's faith during times of suffering and end-of-life care. The journey begins in the author's childhood home - his training ground to become a compassionate paramedic. He took care of his brother Doug, who has Cerebral Palsy. Providing care for his brother taught him so much about life, himself, and equipped him to take on the heaviness of being a paramedic. Readers will get insight into his training in Springfield, MA., along with his clinical time in New York City during his journey to become a paramedic. This is a profound examination of religion, spirituality, and the medical community's faith in science and technology. This book answers important questions - such as healthcare's role in working with and respecting each patient's religion and faith. The author explores treatments outside of standard medicine, such as holistic and spiritual treatments to support palliative care. Being a paramedic is a life-changing job, and "Parables of a Paramedic" shares an insightful glimpse into one man's unforgettable journey doing this significant work.

Download or read book Stories for Ears to Hear written by Tincan Caldwell and published by WestBowPress. This book was released on 2013-08-08 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When asked a question like Who is my neighbor?, Jesus often answered with a story. He did this because humans often see themselves in stories better than they do in direct answers. For instance, the universal situation of rescuing someone who is in desperate need on the side of the road somewhere, far from home, resonates with people down through the ages. In Stories for Ears to Hear, Tincan Caldwell puts a modern spin on the parables of Jesus in an attempt to help the reader imagine what the heart of these stories would look like today. In his famous challenge before telling a parable, Jesus would encourage those with ears to hear to listen to his tales of prodigal sons, lost coins, victimized travelers on the road, and elaborate parties with no guests. In telling these stories, Jesus brought the sensibilities of heaven to the very real dusty highways and hills of his homeland. In reimagining these classic parables (the parable of the good Samaritan set against the backdrop of the 9/11 tragedy, the parable of the unmerciful servant moved to a struggling record store, the parable of the talents reimagined in the world of a network reality show), Caldwell challenges readers to re-examine how heaven wants to invade the everyday stuff of life, like roads, parties, wayward sons, and the foundations we build our lives upon. That makes for a great story any day.

Download or read book Our World God s Visible Language written by Jerry Salloum and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2022-05-18 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “How could you ever have thought [our world] was the ultimate reality? How could you ever have thought that it was merely a stage set for the moral drama of men and women?” For the many who share these thoughts from C.S. Lewis, our world is far more than mere matter, space and energy. Its orderly patterns, its reliable processes and arresting natural beauty give it the capacity to speak, without words, a mysterious language that feeds our curiosity and wonder about it. We are drawn into the world of the audacious, with thoughts beyond the conventional, to posit an intelligent and imaginative Artist and Architect whose ineffable Creation in both its spatial and temporal dimensions defies adequate verbal expression. In delving into revelation contained in various earth sciences and within the pages of the Bible, Our World: God’s Visible Language reveals a congruency between these two avenues to Truth, that the visible Creation repeatedly declares the glory and mystery of the invisible God, and that science is not an enemy to faith. Informative and written with imagination and personal anecdotes, these pages provide readers an opportunity to better understand the invisible God and His written Word, nudging us toward a loftier context in which life can be lived and enjoyed with hope and purpose.

Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the author of the New York Times bestseller Choke and the cult classic Fight Club, a cunningly plotted novel about the ultimate verbal weapon, one that reinvents the apocalyptic thriller for our times. "A harrowing and hilarious glimpse into the future of civilization.” —Minneapolis Star-Tribune Ever heard of a culling song? It’s a lullaby sung in Africa to give a painless death to the old or infirm. The lyrics of a culling song kill, whether spoken or even just thought. You can find one on page 27 of Poems and Rhymes from Around the World, an anthology that is sitting on the shelves of libraries across the country, waiting to be picked up by unsuspecting readers. Reporter Carl Streator discovers the song’s lethal nature while researching Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and before he knows it, he’s reciting the poem to anyone who bothers him. As the body count rises, Streator glimpses the potential catastrophe if someone truly malicious finds out about the song. The only answer is to find and destroy every copy of the book in the country. Accompanied by a shady real-estate agent, her Wiccan assistant, and the assistant’s truly annoying ecoterrorist boyfriend, Streator begins a desperate cross-country quest to put the culling song to rest.
