Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America has always been committed to the idea that citizens can work together to build a common world. Today, three afflictions keep us from pursuing that noble ideal. The first and most obvious affliction is identity politics, which seeks to transform America by turning politics into a religious venue of sacrificial offering. For now, the sacrificial scapegoat is the white, heterosexual, man. After he is humiliated and purged, who will be the object of cathartic rage? White women? Black men? Identity politics is the anti-egalitarian spiritual eugenics of our age. It demands that pure and innocent groups ascend, and the stained transgressor groups be purged. The second affliction is that citizens oscillate back and forth, in bipolar fashion, at one moment feeling invincible on their social media platforms and, the next, feeling impotent to face the everyday problems of life without the guidance of experts and global managers. Third, Americans are afflicted by a disease that cannot quite be named, characterized by an addictive hope that they can find cheap shortcuts that bypass the difficult labors of everyday life. Instead of real friendship, we seek social media “friends.” Instead of meals at home, we order “fast food.” Instead of real shopping, we “shop” online. Instead of counting on our families and neighbors to address our problems, we look to the state to take care of us. In its many forms, this disease promises release from our labors, yet impoverishes us all. American Awakening chronicles all of these problems, yet gives us hope for the future.

Download or read book The Spiritual Awakening of America written by Tom Quick and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-18 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RACISM, skepticism and materialism are the three national SINS that are blocking revival in America. According to Scripture, God says He may use a drought, a plague of locusts or a PANDEMIC to get our attention. Once He has our attention, hopefully we'll confess our sins, turn from our foolish ways, and submit to His will. "THE SPIRITUAL AWAKENING OF AMERICA" is a fast-paced fusion of historical events, biblical narratives, and straight talk from a concerned citizen who loves the Lord and his nation. Today, America is at a crossroads. Where can we look for guidance? The Bible states the reason we have a written account of God's interaction with ISRAEL is so that we might learn from their experience: the good, the bad and the ugly example of Jeshurun. This book takes a unique look at man's inhumanity to man in the USA over a six-day period. Simultaneously, we'll consider the rise and fall of the nation of Israel. How God called out, and blessed, and warned, and then scattered His chosen people is a CAUTIONARY TALE for the United States today. The author is convinced there's one verse tucked away in the Old Testament that holds the key to our NATIONAL SPIRITUAL SURVIVAL. In this 340-page book, we'll take that verse apart and examine the four requirements for spiritual renewal. Read how our PRESIDENTS prayed for the nation, and what they said about the Holy Bible. We'll spotlight three reasons why Satan hates America. You'll be INSPIRED as you learn about Evan Roberts, and how God poured out His Holy Spirit during the 1904-1905 Revival in Wales. When the saints here got wind of what God was doing for their Welsh brothers and sisters, they cried out for the Lord to do the same in America. And HE DID! You'll see how the 1905 revival swept across the United States from coast to coast! Discover the five action steps we must take to overcome our NATIONAL SINS of skepticism, materialism and RACISM. Just like He did with the children of Abraham, God is using pain to prepare us for revival. We deeply need another spiritual awakening to help us face the crisis of today. This book is a small step in that direction, a catalyst for revival.

Download or read book Without Reservation written by Randy Kritkausky and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful story of spiritual awakening, reconnection with Nature, and rekindling of ancestral wisdom • Details the author’s encounters with ancestral spirits and animal teachers, such as Coy-Wolf, and profound moments of direct connection with the natural world • Shows how ancestral connections and intimate communications with Nature are not unique or restricted to those with indigenous cultural roots • Reveals how reconnection with ancestors and the natural world offers insight and solutions for the complex problems we face We are but a few generations removed from millennia spent living in intimate contact with the natural world and in close commune with ancestral spirits. Who we are and who we think we are is rooted in historical connections with those who came before us and in our relationships with the land and the sentient natural world. When we wander too far from our roots, our ancestors and kin in the natural world call us home, sometimes with gentle whispers and sometimes in loud voices sounding alarms. In this powerful story of spiritual awakening, Randy Kritkausky shares his journey into the realm of ancestral Native American connections and intimate encounters with Mother Earth and shows how anyone can spiritually reconnect with their ancestors and Nature. Like 70 percent of those who identify as Native American, Kritkausky grew up off the reservation. As he explains, for such “off reservation” indigenous people rediscovering ancestral practices amounts to a reawakening and offers significant insights about living in a society that is struggling to mend a heavily damaged planet. The author reveals how the awakening process was triggered by his own self-­questioning and the resumption of ties with his Potawatomi ancestors. He details his encounters with ancestral spirits and animal teachers, such as Coy-Wolf. He shares moments of direct connection with the natural world, moments when the consciousness of other living beings, flora and fauna, became accessible and open to communication. Through his profound storytelling, Kritkausky shows how ancestral connections and intimate communications with Nature are not unique or restricted to those with indigenous cultural roots. Offering a bridge between cultures, a path that can be followed by Native and non-Native alike, the author shows that spiritual awakening can happen anywhere, for anyone, and can open the gateway to deeper understanding.

Download or read book The Great Awakening written by Thomas S. Kidd and published by Macmillan Higher Education. This book was released on 2018-10-24 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A detailed examination of the First Great Awakening, this volume presents a valuable study of the spiritual movement that profoundly shaped colonial American cultural and religious life. Thomas Kidd's comprehensive introduction relies on recent scholarship to describe three contemporary views of the revivals: those of radicals in favor of them, moderates supporting them, and antirevivalists attacking them. The views and experiences of these participants and critics emerge through nearly 40 documents organized into topical sections. By expanding coverage of the radicals and the ordinary people, including women, African Americans, and Native Americans, who joined the revival movement, Kidd gives students an opportunity to hear a broader collection of voices from colonial American society. The volume also includes illustrations, headnotes to the documents, a chronology of the Great Awakening, a selected bibliography, questions to consider, and an index.
