Download or read book Unopened Letters from God written by Rev Robert L. Haden Jr and published by . This book was released on 2010-11 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This workbook, for dream groups and individuals, can transform your life. It is for the beginner, but also for those who already know and experience this reality - yet need the support, encouragement and wisdom of the dream community. Each of the 14 Chapters explores a Biblical dream in its own context, suggests a method to work that dream, and shares similar contemporary dreams with exercises leading you to your own dream "ahas." The ancient Hebrews and early Christians claimed that one of the primary ways God speaks to God's people is through dreams: not "a" way, but the "primary" way. Unfortunately, along the way, people were discouraged from taking their dreams seriously. I, too, was a non-believer in the reality of the dream world for 40 years. That was before experiencing a new spirituality for myself, 10 years' dreamwork with a Jungian analyst, attending the C. G. Jung Institute, and completing a Master's program in the use of dreams in spiritual direction. I have recorded hundreds of dreams, integrating dream work with my priestly, spiritual direction and counseling duties. The riches acquired during this incubation period led to the formation of The Haden Institute which has graduated over 500 people in dreamwork and spiritual direction. Dreams are crazy. Real crazy. They appear crazy to us because they are not literal, but rather metaphorical, like Jesus' parables. Metaphor is the primary language of the Divine. Metaphor takes us to a deeper level of awareness. Dreams are autonomous. They are like another personality in us. They have a life of their own. Amazing. Dreams deepen our belief in the afterlife. Many conversions, inventions, healings, vocational and other life changes have come through dreams as well as dangers averted and problems solved. Dreams are particularly meaningful to those who have "been around the block" those in the second half of life who have experienced dead end streets, tragedies, failures, the dark night of the soul. The dream can be our guide through this maze leading us to a place where we begin to live on a deeper level.

One weekend a month, two weeks in the summer, extra money now, and benefits toward college. What's not to like? Weill went home and talked it over with his mother. It was a short conversation. "Hey, Mom. Do you think I should join the Army?" "No." But David had a money mindset and a patriotic streak. He figured he could serve his country and get paid to do it. Not only did he sign up, he talked his mother, a nurse, into signing up too. Then Desert Storm hit the fan, and stuff began to get real.

Download or read book Shared Imagination written by Mary Ann Archer and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using imagination in meditation can connect people to the Divine and to each other and can deepen the spiritual experiences of daily life. Shared Imagination delves into that notion, offering a creative and experiential channel to the Divine and describing the surprising ways this process can blossom in people’s lives. The work centers on personal stories of spiritual encounters as told, with permission, by the women and men who have entered the world of prayerful imagining. These encounters, or “shared imaginations,” arose in a variety of settings: individual and group meditation meetings, recounted dreams, shared spiritual experiences, imaginative conversations with God, letters written to holy people of the past, and some mystical traveling conversations. The stories illustrate the interlacing of an individual’s imagination with that of the Divine. Instructions on how to form and facilitate an imaginative meditation group are interspersed between the stories and detailed in three appendices. Arising from author Mary Ann Archer’s experiences as a professional musician and spiritual director, this collection of personal spiritual narratives presents an exploration of the use of imagination in meditation for a clearer connection with the Divine.
Download or read book Birkat Kohanim written by David Birnbaum and published by New Paradigm Matrix. This book was released on 2016-04-03 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the prominence of prayer in traditional Jewish life, it is surprising to note how few prayers the Torah actually ordains be recited by the pious as part of their ongoing effort to foster a relationship with the Divine. Indeed, some of the most famous of all Jewish prayers that do have their origin in Scripture are not presented as liturgical texts in that context at all. (The Shema, for example, the confession of faith par excellence which rabbinic tradition ordains be recited twice daily, appears in the Bible as part of a larger literary unit with no indication that it is intended to be featured prominently in the prayer lives of the faithful.) Other prayer texts are presented in situ as features of an ongoing narrative—for example, the prayer of Damesek Eliezer that he find a wife for his master’s son (Genesis 24:12–14) or Moses’ prayer that Miriam be healed of her skin disease (Numbers 12:13)—have not come to be a part of the fixed Jewish liturgical tradition. And still others, like the prayer ordained for recitation by farmers presenting their first fruits at the sanctuary (Deuteronomy 26:3–10), are presented as liturgical texts to be recited on a specific occasion, but with no hint that they may licitly be recited in circumstances other than the ones specifically ordained by Scripture.
Download or read book The Love Note written by Joanna Davidson Politano and published by Revell. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focused on a career in medicine and not on romance, Willa Duvall is thrown slightly off course during the summer of 1865 when she discovers a never-opened love letter in a crack of her old writing desk. Compelled to find the passionate soul who penned it and the person who never received it, she takes a job as a nurse at the seaside estate of Crestwicke Manor. Everyone at Crestwicke has feelings--mostly negative ones--about the man who wrote the letter, but he seems to have disappeared. With plenty of enticing clues but few answers, Willa's search becomes even more complicated when she misplaces the letter and it passes from person to person in the house, each finding a thrilling or disheartening message in its words. Laced with mysteries large and small, this romantic Victorian-era tale of love lost, love deferred, and love found is sure to delight.

Download or read book The Klaas Schilder Reader written by Klaas Schilder and published by Lexham Academic. This book was released on 2022-05-25 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recovering a forgotten theologian. Klaas Schilder (1890–1952) was a prominent Dutch Reformed theologian in the early twentieth century, first as a pastor and then as a professor. While his fame spread to North America in the 1940s, he is mostly forgotten today. In The Klaas Schilder Reader: The Essential Theological Writings, readers will rediscover this important Dutch theologian. Working in the tradition of Abraham Kuyper and Herman Bavinck, Schilder applies Dutch Neo-Calvinism to the twentieth century. This includes secularism, the rise and influence of Karl Barth, opposition to Nazism, and the relation between the church and society. The Klaas Schilder Reader contextualizes his work and furthers the neo-Calvinist tradition.

Download or read book Last Letters written by Sylvie Crinquand and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-26 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays is devoted to last letters : letters sent – or not – to sever a relationship, to mark the end of a phase in one’s life, or letters written by people about to be executed or commit suicide just before their deaths. Conversely, some of the letters analysed are fictional, and still other forms of texts, such as poems, are considered ultimate messages by the authors of the articles. By focussing on various forms of last letters, the contributors aim to define the influence of the epistolary context on endings and to provide an original approach to closure.
