Download or read book When God Walks Away written by Kaye McKee and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we survive when, although our souls ache for God, it seems our Beloved has walked out on us? When God Walks Away: A Dark Night Companion explores and celebrates one of faith's great mysteries: the dark night of the soul. Christ's passion serves as a model for the journey as we accompany Him through surrender, into agonized suffering, to death and into the wonder of new life. Each section introduces a metaphor for the night, and then plumbs the metaphor with examples from personal experience; literature (readers will struggle with Parzival through a hopeless winter, accompany Polly and Digory on a great quest, and climb Mount Doom with Frodo); and faith history (readers will walk with C. S. Lewis, Mother Teresa, and John of the Cross through their seasons of darkness). Each chapter closes with a "Lifeline" section that suggests books, music, visual artworks, and films to help the reader endure. When God Walks Away also differentiates the Dark Night from depression: a vital distinction, because, whereas the Dark Night is holy and, in the end, beneficial, depression can be destructive. In addition, the book's appendices provide the reader a wealth of information, such as guidance on finding a therapist or spiritual director, biblical references to the Dark Night, and a discernment practice based on the works of St. Ignatius. Appropriate for individual reading or for group study, When God Walks Away assures the reader that she is not alone on what seems to be the loneliest of journeys.
Download or read book Three Mile an Hour God written by Kosuke Koyama and published by SCM Press. This book was released on 2021-08-31 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Love has its speed. It is a spiritual speed. It is a different kind of speed from the technological speed to which we are accustomed. It goes on in the depth of our life, whether we notice or not, at three miles an hour. It is the speed we walk and therefore the speed the love of God walks.' Once we grasp that in Christ God chooses to walk amongst us, it changes our whole understanding of the speed of love, and the speed of theology. In Three Mile an Hour God, renowned Japanese theologian Kosuke Koyama reflects beautifully on a theme lost to western theology and western culture in general – the need for slowness. With a new foreword from John Swinton

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the difficulties that come with every marriage, when a spouse leaves and walks away, abandoning all hope of reconciliation, the one left behind must overcome a myriad of heartaches and obstacles. Navigating these waters can leave one feeling overwhelmed with issues and in dire need of direction and healing. When there are children involved, the transition to recovery is even harder. After being married for twenty-eight years, Mary Bryant found herself adrift, praying desperately for a buoy to cling to while she collected the remnants of her life and family. She found herself at the most broken place she could have ever imagined. Shortly after her husband left her and their four young-adult children, she was in her kitchen calling out to God, desperate for an answer and someplace to put the fractured pieces of her life so that she could begin healing. It was there that she felt God impress upon her, "Write""your healing is there." For the next eighteen months, Mary wrote what you will find here, a most personal and inspirational message of what she believes is God's message for anyone who finds their life in the pit of despair. With God's guidance, she learned to put one foot in front of the other and began to live again. It's a transformation from brokenness to one of hope and certainty that all things work together for our good when we trust God to lead us. Whether your prayer is for your husband to be reconciled in relationship with you, or it is simply your desire to learn to trust God for your new season ahead, When He Walks Away is a must read. It is balm for your wounded spirit, and it will encourage you greatly on your journey back to wholeness.

Download or read book When God Feels Far Away written by Jamie Rasmussen and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2021-10-12 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever felt far away from God? Though many Christians are convinced they can't admit that, if you're feeling distant from God, you're not alone. In fact, honesty about divine distance is an important first step back to the presence of God. The truth is, we all go through seasons when prayers seem futile, worship feels empty, or we feel lonely, wondering if God cares or even knows what we're facing. When those seasons come and our familiar spiritual routines are no longer working, how can we recover the closeness with God that we crave? With transparency and a pastoral heart, Jamie Rasmussen reveals eight ways to navigate divine distance and experience the nearness of God again. After unpacking why God sometimes feels so far away, he mines the riches of the book of Esther for principles that are available to us today. The result is an intimate and practical guide to navigating seasons of divine distance so we can once again feel closer to God.
Download or read book Seeing and savouring Jesus Christ written by JOHN PIPER and published by Inter-Varsity Press. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is Jesus Christ? You've never met Him in person, and you don't know anyone who has. But there is a way to know who he is. How? Jesus Christ - the divine Person revealed in the Bible - has a unique excellence and a spiritual beauty that speaks directly to our souls and says, "Yes, this is truth." It's like seeing the sun and knowing that it is light, or tasting honey and knowing that it is sweet. The depth and complexity of Jesus shatter our simple mental frameworks. He baffled proud scribes with his wisdom but was understood and loved by children. He calmed a raging storm with a word but would not get himself down from the cross. Look at the Jesus of the Bible. Keep your eyes open, and fill them with the portrait of Jesus in God's Word. Jesus said, "If anyone's will is to do God's will, He will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority." Ask God for the grace to do His will, and you will see the truth of His Son. John Piper has written this book in the hope that all will see Jesus for who he really is and will come to enjoy him above all else.

Book excerpt: Do you long for something more in your relationship with God? The good news is that “something more” does not mean “doing more.” God is not waiting for you to get your spiritual life “right.” He wants to be with you right where you are. The real question is not “What does God want from you?” but “What does God want for you?” Sharon Jaynes understands what it’s like to have a “glory ache”—a longing to experience God’s presence on a daily basis. She also knows how easily working for God can get in the way of intimacy with God. And she’s discovered that we tend to make our faith journey much too hard. In A Sudden Glory, Sharon uses Scripture and story to help you erase the line between your “spiritual life” and your “daily life” as you enter the sanctuary of God’s presence even in the middle of your busy, messy day. Here you will find your eyes opened to moments of sudden glory in which the Creator assures you of His love as you live and move and have your being in Him. Here you will discover true freedom—the freedom of experiencing God in a deeper and more intimate way than ever before. Includes Bible study and discussion guide.

Download or read book God Walk written by Mark Buchanan and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on Jesus's example of walking, bestselling author Mark Buchanan explores one of the oldest spiritual practices of our faith. What happens when we literally walk out our Christian life? We discover the joy of traveling at the speed of our soul. We often act as if faith is only about the mind. But what about our bodies? What does our physical being have to do with our spiritual life? When the Bible exhorts us to walk in the light, or walk by faith, or walk in truth, it means these things literally as much as figuratively. The Christian faith always involves walking out, as again and again we find the holy in the ordinary. "Come, follow me," Jesus said, and then he was off. The most obvious thing about Jesus's method of discipleship, in fact, is that he walked and invited others to walk with him. Jesus is always "on the way," "arriving," "leaving," "approaching," "coming upon." It's in the walking that his disciples are taught, formed, tested, empowered, and released. Part theology, part history, part field guide, God Walk explores walking as spiritual formation, walking as healing, walking as exercise, walking as prayer, walking as pilgrimage, suffering, friendship, and attentiveness. It is a book about being alongside the God who, incarnate in Jesus, turns to us as he passes by--always on foot--and says simply, "Come, follow me." With practical insight and biblical reflections told in his distinct voice, Buchanan provides specific walking exercises so you can immediately implement the practice of going "God speed." Whether you are walking around the neighborhood or hiking in the mountains, walking offers the potential to awaken your life with Christ as it revives body and soul.
