Download or read book Rest in the Rainbow written by Stephanie Schlueter and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 1901 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rest in the Rainbow is more than a book—it’s a wake-up call, intended to give you meaningful instruction on how to step into your true identity so that you can strengthen your relationship with God and pursue His calling for your life. As children of God and ambassadors for His Kingdom, our mission is to build up the body of believers and point others in the direction of Christ. There is work that God must do in your heart in order to align it with His before He can work through you. When you read the stories in the Bible, there’s a common theme: God used the most unqualified people to carry out His assignments and work some of His greatest miracles. This is the same God Who still lives today, and He desires to do incredible things in your life and in the lives of others. Through practical advice and exploring dozens of God’s promises, Stephanie shows how God wants us to fully understand our identity in Him, and how to be fully equipped to walk in the authority of our God-given purpose. She reveals the value of godly discipline and discernment in order to give us the right perspective, as well as the necessary steps we must take in order to fulfill our calling. Take heart in His promises—they’ve never been broken.

Book excerpt: Do you want to find joy and purpose in all you do?"Work and Rest God's Way is a welcome contribution as Christians rediscover the doctrine of vocation in all of its practicality and spiritual richness."Dr. Gene Edward Veith-Provost at Patrick Henry College, director of the Cranach Institute, and author of God at WorkWe spend an average of 90,000 hours, or about ten years, working. Hopefully, we find such a large investment of time and energy enjoyable and fulfilling, but for many people, work is the worst part of their day and of their life. In Work and Rest God's Way, you will:Find the blessings God has for you in your laborLearn how to put off laziness and put on diligence (both physically and spiritually)Discover the quiet, restful life that's pleasing in God's sightDetermine the balance between work and rest for your busy lifeRead together as a family to help your children value work and responsibilityWhether you're a man or woman, young or old, this book will help you enjoy both work and rest as God intended. Families will also benefit from reading together. As a father of eight, Pastor Scott knows how hard it is to motivate children to work. He shares what has been successful for him and his wife, Katie.Endorsed by prominent ministry leaders:"God commands us to work. And God also commands us to rest. Scott LaPierre shows how the Bible discloses the sinfulness of laziness and 'idleness,' and he unpacks the contrary Biblical virtue of 'diligence.' But he also shows how our relationship to work can become sinful. Workaholism turns work into an addiction that can lead to burnout and idolatry. The Biblical principle of the Sabbath counters those tendencies with physical rest, the cessation of busyness necessary for spiritual devotion, and the life of faith, in which we realize that our salvation comes not by our work, but by resting in Christ. Work and Rest God's Way is a welcome contribution as Christians rediscover the doctrine of vocation in all of its practicality and spiritual

Download or read book Resting in His Redemption written by James Gills and published by Charisma Media. This book was released on 2011 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Scriptures teach clearly that God desires to live in intimate fellowship and communion with mankind. He wants us to enjoy His love, peace, joy, and companionship and to rest in His redemption, experiencing the perfect harmony and contentment and fulfillment of purpose for which He created us. God's original purpose for creating mankind was simply for us to enjoy relationship with Him, the kind of fellowship that the first couple, Adam and Eve, enjoyed in the Garden of Eden, when God walked with them in the cool of the evening (Gen. 3:8). Then, sin entered the human experience and separated all mankind from that divine fellowship. But when we place our faith in Christ's sacrifice for our sin, we are redeemed by the blood of Christ and justified in the sight of God. But that is not the end of the matter; it is only the beginning. God's intention is that we be completely restored--spirit, soul, and body--to the divine rest found in His redemption, He wants us to experience that mystery of intimate communion with our Creator/Redeemer. In this book we will discuss four important aspects of fulfilling the deepest desire of the human heart--to know God personally and intimately in the way God's great, loving heart intended. To know the love of God that brings true heart contentment, we need to walk in the understanding of these divine principles: The biblical basis for all prayer is resting in His redemption. The biblical basis for all Christian living is resting in His redemption. The biblical basis for total forgiveness is resting in His redemption. The biblical basis for divine contentment is resting in His redemption. Your life can be transformed when you allow Him to make them a reality to your heart. The love of God can fill your heart and make you a victorious lover of the Christ. You will be ruined for any lesser, temporal pleasure or love once you taste more deeply the wonders of resting in His redemption.

Book excerpt: It is not uncommon for anxiety to creep into one's career aspirations when a Christian truly desires to pursue God with every aspect of his or her life. Given the fact that a person typically spends more waking hours throughout the week engaged in a workplace than with the company of a spouse, family members, or friends, it seems natural for us to spend extra time pondering the greater purposes of God; especially if we suspect He desires more meaningful activities for our time. "Time" is a non-renewable resource. Given the inevitable outcome of this depleting gift, how and where we will best serve the Lord as ministers is a virtuous ambition. But there is a range of social attitudes about "what is work" and "what is ministry" that can limit the scope of what God wishes to accomplish in the world. This scope is not limited by Him, but instead it is limited by us. This spiritual book encourages Christians to wholly embrace their unique callings, knowing that any vocation ordained by God will serve the Lord's Purpose under Heaven. And serving in "ministry" is not a unique calling for only those working in full-time ministry; it is a shared purpose of every unique life represented in the Body of Christ.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Named a Best Book of the Year by The Washington Post, Time, NPR, Amazon,Vice, Bustle, The New York Times, The Guardian, Kirkus Reviews, Entertainment Weekly, The AV Club, & Audible A New York Times Bestseller “One of the most compelling protagonists modern fiction has offered in years: a loopy, quietly furious pillhead whose Ambien ramblings and Xanaxed b*tcheries somehow wend their way through sad and funny and strange toward something genuinely profound.” — Entertainment Weekly “Darkly hilarious . . . [Moshfegh’s] the kind of provocateur who makes you laugh out loud while drawing blood.” —Vogue From one of our boldest, most celebrated new literary voices, a novel about a young woman's efforts to duck the ills of the world by embarking on an extended hibernation with the help of one of the worst psychiatrists in the annals of literature and the battery of medicines she prescribes. Our narrator should be happy, shouldn't she? She's young, thin, pretty, a recent Columbia graduate, works an easy job at a hip art gallery, lives in an apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan paid for, like the rest of her needs, by her inheritance. But there is a dark and vacuous hole in her heart, and it isn't just the loss of her parents, or the way her Wall Street boyfriend treats her, or her sadomasochistic relationship with her best friend, Reva. It's the year 2000 in a city aglitter with wealth and possibility; what could be so terribly wrong? My Year of Rest and Relaxation is a powerful answer to that question. Through the story of a year spent under the influence of a truly mad combination of drugs designed to heal our heroine from her alienation from this world, Moshfegh shows us how reasonable, even necessary, alienation can be. Both tender and blackly funny, merciless and compassionate, it is a showcase for the gifts of one of our major writers working at the height of her powers.
Download or read book The Restless Compendium written by Felicity Callard and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-27 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY license. This interdisciplinary book contains 22 essays and interventions on rest and restlessness, silence and noise, relaxation and work. It draws together approaches from artists, literary scholars, psychologists, activists, historians, geographers and sociologists who challenge assumptions about how rest operates across mind, bodies, and practices. Rest’s presence or absence affects everyone. Nevertheless, defining rest is problematic: both its meaning and what it feels like are affected by many socio-political, economic and cultural factors. The authors open up unexplored corners and experimental pathways into this complex topic, with contributions ranging from investigations of daydreaming and mindwandering, through histories of therapeutic relaxation and laziness, and creative-critical pieces on lullabies and the Sabbath, to experimental methods to measure aircraft noise and track somatic vigilance in urban space. The essays are grouped by scale of enquiry, into mind, body and practice, allowing readers to draw new connections across apparently distinct phenomena. The book will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines in the social sciences, life sciences, arts and humanities.
