Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is written during his resting periods at Lake Ochrid (1921) in poetic-prose style, similar in spirituality to the Psalms of David. Can those who are themselves homeless really build the temple for the Teacher of all builders? (...) When you build the best for Him, you are setting an example for your soul, showing her what she should be building within herself (...) You build Him expensive edifices, in order to remind your soul that she was intended for, a royal palace, and not for hovels of clay (...) But what will become of your temples (...) If the domes of your temples are forever higher than your souls? (...) If the width of your temples is forever wider than the narrowness of your souls? (...) If your altars are forever shining more brightly than the shrines of your souls? (...) They will become the dead monuments of dead souls. Meet one of the greatest Orthodox bishops of the 20th century, an theological writer and a highly gifted orator, known as "The New Chrysostom." Saint Nikolai Velimirovich of Ohrid and Zhicha (1880 - 1956) was bishop in the Serbian Orthodox Church and the author of many Orthodox books.

Download or read book When You Pray written by L. Joseph Letendre and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anyone who prays, or has tried to pray and given up in discouragement, knows praying¿really praying¿is not easy. Praying consistently seems almost impossible. Too often and too easily, prayer becomes a burden: one more item on an already overcrowded to-do list. Failing to pray becomes a source of guilt and stress as we must once again admit our inconstancy and procrastination to our father confessor. Yet, our Lord said, ¿Come to me, all of you who are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. My burden is easy and my yoke is light¿ (Matt. 11:30). The purpose of this book, then, is not to add to the burden, but to ease it by distilling the advice and experience of those who pray.

Download or read book Prayer for People Who Don t Believe in God written by Vance Morgan and published by Wood Lake Publishing Inc.. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many progressive christians struggle with prayer –or, at least, with the kinds of prayer they are often exposed to: shouted, whispered, forceful, timid, begging, and demanding; everything from essay lengthy scripted petitions, to poetry read from a book, to rote recitations that no one pays much attention to, to pronouncements, to communications in a “prayer language.” They are often gripped by the power of the Christian faith but are simply unable or unwilling to endorse or engage with many of its traditional beliefs, including traditional beliefs about God and prayer. If we're not trying to connect with the kind of God who takes notes, answers “yes” or “no,” and grants or withholds favours, what or whom are we trying to connect with? And so often our words seem to travel no further than the ceiling, no matter what we believe. The situation for people who describe themselves as “spiritual but not religious” isn’t much different. They may not “pray” in the traditional sense or in traditional ways, but many long to connect or communicate with something larger than themselves – as good a definition of “prayer” as any – whether they name that something “the divine,” “big love,” or “spirit”; or think of it as a “force” or “energy” that connects all things. This is not an academic book, nor a “how-to” document. Rather, it poses questions that are important to progressive Christians and to the “spiritual but not religious.” Working only with the assumption that prayer might have value even for those who are not sure what, or who, or even if God is, this book is about opening oneself to the “possibility of God.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prayer is a vital part of the Christian walk; it’s a must for success in the Christian journey. The Bible is full of examples of how God answers prayer, and it also contains numerous calls for God’s children to pray. In Audacious Prayers, author Albert B. K. Appiah offers a handbook about prayer and what prayer can do in one’s life, focusing on praying bold prayers and believing God to answer them. It is about petitioning God audaciously and expecting answers. Drawing on many examples from the Bible to underscore that God answers even the most daring of prayers, it shares powerful stories of Biblical characters who were delivered from pain and suffering by the hand of God.
