Book excerpt: An inspiring autobiography about Samia Zumout’s own life journey towards God and His immense Healing Love. Samia courageously and intimately shares her heart’s journey as she recounts her life story, hurts, inner heart’s wounds, failures, struggles, moments of despair and the lies that she believed about herself that prevented her from experiencing God's love for her in fullness. She shares how the Lord Jesus freed her from these lies and healed her heart’s wounds through His infinite Love. Amid her quest for God, she finds someone she never expected to find: herself. Our Lord demonstrated to Samia that everything in her life - good and bad – has its purpose. Samia's story will challenge you to look deeply into your own heart and inspire you to find answers to your own life's hurts and challenges through reading about hers and the victory that our Lord gives us as He heals our wounds and draws us into His love for us! In June 2006, Samia felt a strong desire in her heart to write this autobiographical book, The Bridge between the East and West: A Journey to Truth through His Love. While in deep prayer, the Lord Jesus confirmed to Samia that writing this book was an important part of her life’s mission as it would bring people closer to His heart as many would experience His healing love while reading about her life’s journey. The Lord Jesus instructed Samia that it would only take her 30 days to write the book if she lived a sacramental life centered on the Eucharist, deep prayer and fasting throughout that period. Samia began writing the book on July 17, 2007 and the book was completed on August 15, 2007, exactly 30 days later.
Download or read book TOTAL SURRENDER TO THE WILL OF GOD written by Samia Mary Zumout and published by BookLocker.com, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2006, Samia Zumout felt called by God to leave a successful profession as an attorney and embark on a lifelong journey as a missionary. Since then, she has evangelized God's healing love through her inner-healing ministry, praying at public events and individually for the healing of emotional childhood wounds. In 2011, Samia's deep faith and love for the Lord Jesus Christ was put to the ultimate test when she was diagnosed with horrific diseases that have aggressively attacked her spinal cord: primary progressive multiple sclerosis (M.S.), cervical stenosis, and myelopathy. Over a short span of time, she became severely disabled—unable to walk, write, or take care of her most basic needs—and suffered constant debilitating pain and overall weakness. Despite her severe disability, Samia neither lost her joy for life nor her inner-peace; her relentless faith persevered and grew stronger. She has selflessly continued her mission helping and ministering to others through her radio program and social media. Samia's story inspires others to look at the sufferings and challenges of their own life through spiritual eyes, shedding light on what's important, and giving purpose and value to what otherwise may seem meaningless in our physical world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RISING MAGNIFICENTLY in the wilderness of Western Tibet, Mount Kailash is one of three sacred mountains in Tibet. Its shape is unmistakable: a symmetrical cone marked with striations and graced with perpetual snows. Four rivers emanate from it, nourishing the entire region. Mount Kailash is the center of the spiritual universe. It is sacred to four religions: Buddhism, Hinduism, Bön, and Jainism. For Hindus, it is the home of Shiva. All of these statements are true of this magnificent mountain, but the truest is what my teacher said to me before I left to do prostrations around Mt. Kailash: “The center of the spiritual universe already exists in your human heart. Meet your mirror.”

This book was released on 2023-01-29 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book considers the novels and short stories of Raja Rao in terms of the diasporic life of the author. Among the earliest of the 'second wave' Indian diaspora in the west, Raja Rao employs this unique perspective in most of his works. This is the hallmark of his writing. However, we also discuss the varied human and spiritual aspects of his work as reflecting his own life. His experiences as an Indian in a western world. But Raja Rao's writing also counts as postcolonial and postmodern far ahead of any others here or there.

Download or read book Timeless Truth in the Hands of History written by Gale Heide and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-03-16 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the purpose of theology for the church? Systematic theology provides an inroad into this question by offering both a method for doing theology and an explanation for the purpose of that method. However, system is itself the product of a specific understanding of knowledge grounded in rational demonstration of facts. This study attempts to address the historical debate over when systematic theology began. Much of the debate is centered on the definition of system and revolves around the use, or lack thereof, of external philosophical categories or language. Specific historical figures have been selected to serve as illustrations of how theological prolegomena functioned in works prior to and following the influence of Enlightenment thought. In the early chapters it will be seen that theology was neither totally saturated with, nor totally devoid of, external philosophical reference points or programmatic intentions. On the contrary, both external points of reference and programmatic intentions have played a role in theology since the church's inception. In other words, certain elements of system (e.g., logic, non-contradiction, organization) have played a role in theological investigation and construction since, at least, the second century. The last two chapters of this study demonstrate that these may not be the same influences that have marked post-Enlightenment systematics. One of the primary characteristics of pre-Enlightenment theology is its intentional focus on the life of the church. Theology, like the Scriptures, was often written for specific circumstances. Enlightenment influences significantly changed the intentions of much of theology in that theological knowledge was studied and displayed for the sake of knowledge itself. The church no longer mattered, or was at best an afterthought, in the realm of what is now seen as the domain of academic theology.
Download or read book A Spiritual Bloomsbury written by Antony Copley and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2006-08-04 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Spiritual Bloomsbury is an exploration of how three English writers—Edward Carpenter, E.M. Forster, and Christopher Isherwood—sought to come to terms with their homosexuality by engagement with Hinduism. Copley reveals how these writers came to terms with their inner conflicts and were led in the direction of Hinduism by friendship or the influence of gurus. Tackling the themes of the guru-disciple relationship, their quarrel with Christianity, relationships with their mothers and the problematic feminine, the tensions between sexuality and society, and the attraction of Hindu mysticism; this fascinating work seeks to reveal whether Hinduism offered the answers and fulfillment these writers ultimately sought. Also included is a diary narrating Copley's quest to track down Carpenter's and Isherwood's Vendantism and Forster's Krishna cult on a journey to India.
Download or read book Jesus Meets the Buddha written by James T. Kim and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does any one religion have all the answers? Or must we find the answers to life’s questions within ourselves? What would the Buddha think of Jesus’ message of unconditional love? Would the Buddha and Jesus have any common ground? In Jesus Meets the Buddha, author James Kim attempts to answer these questions and many more by exploring the histories and beliefs of two of the world’s major religions: Christianity and Buddhism. Driven by his own desire to answer questions such as “Who am I?” and “Why am I here?” Kim builds on the discourses of the world’s greatest thinkers to examine religions and philosophies, including Judaism, Hinduism, Confucianism, and even Voodoo. His conclusion is that every religion in existence today is a precious gem of human history and an irreplaceable facet of the giant mosaic that makes up our world. He argues that by combining Jesus’ teaching with the long-held ethical and religious traditions of the East, we can build a meaningful unity for humankind. Provocative and well-researched, Jesus Meets the Buddha is a must-read book for anyone interested in the world’s religions or who is looking for their own answers about their place in the universe.

Download or read book Renewing the Balance written by Dirk Dunbar and published by Outskirts Press. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Renewing the Balance, Dirk Dunbar shows how the balance worshipped in ancient Earth wisdom traditions is being integrated into Western culture’s dominantly masculine, rational value system. Filled with hope, revelations regarding cultural evolution, and scholarship of the highest order, Dunbar’s book passionately challenges all of us to recover the archaic reverence for the natural world, to reconsider the limits of growth, progress, and mechanistic thinking, and to join in the newly reclaimed celebration of life that fosters peace and the potential for a sustainable future. Dirk Dunbar’s Renewing the Balance is a crucial and comprehensive account of how traditional cultures maintained a healthy balance that preserved our natural world and how our modern technocratic, economic ideology has produced a culture that is dangerously out of balance. It is at once a diagnosis of our dis-ease and a prescription for healing our collective psyche, polis, and environment. A truly fascinating philosophical adventure. ~Sam Keen Author of 12 books, including The Passionate Life and Hymns to an Unknown God Renewing the Balance brings depth and breadth to our efforts to understand how Western culture evolved as it did and to appreciate the many streams that now flow into our efforts to manifest ecological wisdom in a hypermodern world. ~Charlene Spretnak Author of 9 books, including States of Grace and The Resurgence of the Real

Book excerpt: Eastern Europe has produced rich and varied film cultures--Czech, Hungarian, and Serbian among them-whose histories have been intimately tied to the transition from Soviet domination to the complexities of post-Communist life. This latest volume in the AFI Film Readers series presents a long-overdue reassessment of East European cinemas from theoretical, psychoanalytic, and gender perspectives, moving the subject beyond the traditional area studies approach to the region's films. This ambitious collection, situating Eastern Europe's many cinemas within global paradigms of film study, will be an essential work for all students of cinema and for anyone interested in the relation of film to culture and society.
