Jesus’s loving charisma and something deep inside the disciple calls him to join the small band of followers and then witness over and over Jesus’s radical, inclusive love. This profound grace brings new life to many and infuriates others. After seeing Jesus’s death by crucifixion, the disciple is devastated and loses hope. In the midst of his despair, another invitation comes in the form of a young Celt who invites him to walk the ancient path that will become known as the Camino Frances. A slow healing, new hope, and an unexpected reunion await.

Theologians emphasized this throughout the first thousand-plus years of Christian history. Then, it was somehow mostly neglected. This book maintains that friendship isn’t just a passing luxury. Participation in the joy of friendship is a spiritual blessing. It is an unrecognized spiritual discipline that enriches your soul eternally. Here you will have an opportunity to consider your friendships as more than a pleasant engagement and discover what they can mean for your life today and eternally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I believe He Calls Me Friend is one of the most important books of our day, from one of the last living prophets of the Civil Rights Era." –Nick Hall, Founder of Pulse movement, author of Reset: Jesus Changes Everything What if friendship is the key to changing the world? As a follow-up to his landmark work One Blood, Dr. John Perkins helps readers take the next step to make justice and love a reality. Sometimes people ask Dr. Perkins how to make a difference in the world, his simple answer is this, "Be friends. First with God. Then with others—every kind of other you can think of. Because the simple, powerful, messy, explosive truth is: the world is changed one friendship at a time." In He Calls Me Friend, Dr. Perkins argues that God is not distant and disconnected. He is the Friend who woos us, died for us, and lives within us. This Friend fills our empty places and shows us how to be friends with others. Along the way, Dr. Perkins shares his life experiences, explores biblical stories, and features profiles from several of his own personal friendships. In a world that’s growing increasingly fragmented, isolated, and lonely, discover the power of friendship from a true expert in the art.

Download or read book Genuine Friendship written by Philip D. Halfacre and published by Midwest Theological Forum. This book was released on 2020-06-26 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One measure of happiness is the quality of one's personal relationships. No one relates perfectly, and even those who relate well can see from time to time they need to improve. In this book, Rev. Msgr. Philip D. Halfacre offers insights to help the reader to do precisely that. In all interpersonal relationships—especially in the family—there is an environment or a culture. Ideally, a culture of love is created—one wherein each person has the experience of being loved, acceptance, and forgiveness. Friendship entails more than warm feelings and personal sharing; sustaining such relationships and fulfilling the expectations that occur naturally requires real strength of character, especially to persevere through the years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do so many feel so lonely today? Are our friendships in breakdown mode, or are they just changing? Why are we burdened with the creeping sense that our communities are falling apart? Sociologists report that in recent decades the number of Americans who have no one in whom to confide may have tripled. Likewise, church attendance, participation in local clubs and groups, even the number of times we invite one another over to supper are all in decline. Meanwhile, some of us have more “friends” than ever on social media. The question of friendship, its definition, virtue, and quality, is not a new one to the church or the culture in which Christianity was birthed. Greco-Roman ethicists were fascinated by the virtue of friendship. Taking a cue from Jesus, the New Testament authors transformed Greco-Roman friendship notions to express visions of Christian community that were spiritually fulfilling, sustainably flourishing, and socially just. This book traces the New Testament transformation of friendship in specific passages in Matthew, Luke, John, Acts, Philippians, and James, and connects them to contemporary issues and cutting-edge experiments in Christian community. It is New Testament Theology for the twenty-first century.

Download or read book The Sermon on the Mount written by Carl G. Vaught and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1987-01-23 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the Sermon on the Mount as the locus classicus of the teachings of Jesus. It argues that the Sermon is an expression of the divine perfection in which it is grounded. The center of the book is the injunction contained at the center of the sermon itself—"Be perfect as your father in heaven is perfect." Perfection of this kind is a human response to a divne gift. Consequently, all the Beatitudes and obedience to all the ethical prescriptions in the sermon should be understood as expressions of divine perfection and as finite reflections of God's own work in the world. The Sermon on the Mount requires a transformation of the spirit before its message can become intelligible.
