Download or read book Created to Draw Near written by Edward T. Welch and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2020-01-07 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are a royal priest. That Reality Will Change Your Life Human beings are wired for connection. We long for deep relationships and real intimacy—both of which reflect our fundamental desire to be close to God. But all too often, whether because of our sin or our failures, we imagine that God prefers to keep his distance. In this book, Edward T. Welch shows us the purpose for which we were created: to be brought near to God as a kingdom of priests. He traces the priestly identity throughout the entire Bible, showing us how holiness leads to closeness to God. Through the blood of Jesus, God extends his invitation for all to draw near with open arms. And in his presence, we discover what it means to be truly human: known, unashamed, and wise, full of meaning, purpose, and abundant life.

Download or read book The Power of Archetypes written by Marie D. Jones and published by Red Wheel/Weiser. This book was released on 2017-07-24 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A self-help guide to understanding the language of archetypal symbols and harnessing them for personal success. Deep within your mind is a realm filled with powerful symbols that drive your thoughts, behaviors, and actions—often without your knowledge. This is the hidden world of “archetypes”: universal symbols responsible for who you are, how the world sees you, and what you believe about yourself and your life’s purpose. The Power of Archetypes will help you identify, understand, and work with the archetypes that exist beyond your conscious awareness to create your reality “behind the scenes.” You will also learn how to clear out old symbols that may be blocking you from the happiness and success you dream of. You will examine: • The roles of the subconscious and collective unconscious in shaping your identity, and why it is so hard to change “you” • The most common archetypes and what they symbolize • Global archetypes in religion, politics, and pop culture, and how they affect you • Ways to identify archetypes working in your life and the skills to change them and become more authentic. Archetypes reveal your plot and your purpose. The good news is, if you don’t like them, you can choose more empowering symbols to create a completely new story of your life.

Download or read book Landscapes of the Soul written by Douglas V. Porpora and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2001-06-21 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you believe in God? Nine out of ten Americans unhesitatingly answer yes. But for Douglas Porpora, the real questions begin where pollsters leave off. What, he asks, does religious belief actually mean in our lives? Does it shape our identities and our actions? Or, despite our professions of faith, are we morally adrift? Landscapes of the Soul paints a disturbing picture of American spiritual life. In his search for answers to his questions, Porpora interviewed clerks and executives, Jews, evangelical Christians, Buddhists, Taoists, and even followers of Bhagwan Sri Rajneesh. He asked them about God, and about what they saw as their own place in the universe. What he found was a widespread inability to articulate any grand meaning of life. We lack heroes to inspire us. We lack a sense of calling, of transcendent purpose in our existence. Many of us seem incapable of caring deeply about the suffering of others. Our society is permeated with moral indifference. Yes, we are a believing people, but God is often a distant abstraction and rarely an emotional presence in our lives. Only such an emotional connection, Porpora argues, can be the basis of a genuine moral vision. Our emotional estrangement from God and the sacred keeps us from caring about social justice, keeps us from wanting to change the world, keeps us enclosed in our own private worlds. Landscapes of the Soul is a passionate call to broaden our spiritual and moral horizons, to raise our eyes to the greater reality that unites us all.

Download or read book Toward an American Renewal written by Adam M. Brodsky and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2023-05-25 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States of America is becoming a divided nation and it needs help. Americans need new ways of thinking which will allow them to vigorously advocate for their own deeply held beliefs while at the same time remaining true to a common overarching story. This is deeper than just having civil discourse. This is deeper than just respecting the other side. This is deeper than agreeing to disagree. This cuts to the very core idea of how the country can transform into the best possible version of itself; to be successful as a cohesive whole beyond what any one individual or group could possibly imagine.

Download or read book Honoring written by Pat Morrell-Donnelly and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book of poems by Pat Morrell-Donnelly about Honoring God, Honoring Family, Honoring Friends, and Honoring Country. It is a very personal book but she hopes readers will relate to the thoughts in her poems. It is an attempt to pay homage to those that have touched her life in their own special, unique way. The dictionary states, Honor is about respect, recognition, and esteem shown to others. Reverence implies, Profound respect mangled with love, devotion, or awe. Pat states, For those of us that had loving parents, loving families, and lifetime friends we have been greatly blessed. And to have been born into an exceptional country like the U.S.A., even as a child of the depression, knowing struggles and adversities, we still have been doubly blessed. She says, Trials and challenges only made us stronger. We believed if we wanted anything monetarily we had to work for it. We never thought of relying on the government. Pat says, Unlike some of our citizens today being brainwashed, we were ALWAYS proud of our country. We believed in being responsible, working hard to attain a better life, and always treating others as we would like to be treated. Honoring is a book of poems about faith, hope, and love and inspirational and motivational thoughts. Also poems about her precious family, her loved ones and friends, and poems in memory of those that have gone on before us. Also poems of appreciation for our great country and those that have sacrificed and paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Thoughts in these poems come from difficulties and challenges and losses experienced while traveling her lifes journey, and hopefully they will touch the readers in a way to better equip them to face their own challenges and adversities. Strength derived from family and friends and Pats strong faith has brought her through many difficult times and while she cant speak to all she is hoping through these poems she can show her appreciation for the part many have played in her life. For these she will be forever grateful.
