Book excerpt: Millions of women have felt the power of birth, and countless women long for it. But for too many, birth can seem like a purely clinical experience — something to get through as quickly as possible in order to get on with the joys of being a mother. In Made for This, author Mary Haseltine draws on Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body to show that birth is an essential part of who God created women to be, body and soul. With real-life stories from many moms and practical tips — including preparing for birth, making informed choices, helping fathers embrace their role in the birth room, and encountering the work of labor — this book is an indispensable guide for navigating the physical and spiritual dimensions of pregnancy and birth. Expectant mothers will find the tools they need to approach birth as a gift, and to invite God into the experience. About the Author Mary Haseltine is a theology graduate and a certified birth doula and childbirth educator. With a passion for building a culture of life through the teachings of the Theology of the Body, she works to bring an awareness and practice of the teachings of the Church into the realm of childbirth, mothering, and pregnancy loss. She lives in Western New York with her husband and five sons. You can find more of her writing at www.betterthaneden.com.
Download or read book Labor in Faith written by Sylvester Veal Jr. and published by S/leek .Inspiration. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a born again believer it is time that you get your spiritual understanding to a level, which is worthy of your calling, appointment, and purpose. Too often Christians become subject to the world, including worldly thinking. But God has called you out of the world and into His Kingdom here on earth. Yes your natural body lives in the world, but your residence is of royalty in Heaven. For the Word of God tell us that it is the believer’s responsibility to bring God’s Will from Heaven to earth. As a child and heir to the Kingdom of God, you have access to supernatural powers, which operate on earth. See, the average Christian cannot receive this message because they are not at the level of acceptable spiritual understanding to receive it, i.e. of spiritual maturity. As Dr. Bill Winston says, your salvation comes with something, “Bread comes with this”. This means that when you got born again, healing came with your salvation, deliverance came with your salvation, wealth came with your salvation, businesses came with your salvation, and homes, cars, and possessions came with your salvation. The Word of God reminds us that if you seek the Kingdom of God first and His Righteousness all things will be added unto you. Now it is known that somewhere down the line born again believers have conformed to the world and the world’s way of thinking-- including the concept behind work. The world has taught you that you must work hard for success and this is how you become successful. It is my purpose and responsibility to let you know today that the devil is a liar and that you must not be deceived. As a born again believer, works of the law and flesh are canceled by the blood of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Jesus died on the cross so that through Him by faith you may receive your inheritance in Heaven and earth-- paid for in full! In relation, it is known in the Word of God that faith without works is dead. However, you must understand that the works God is referring to is not natural works but spiritual works, which unlocks access to God’s Grace, i.e. God’s Unmerited Favor. The Word of God makes it very clear that you are not saved by works or deeds, but by grace, to prevent all boasting of man/woman. As a result, God does not want you to work for anything, because you will think of yourself more highly that you should, which usually results in excessive pride and forgetting about the one who made a way and brought you through-- God! Finally, a higher spiritual understanding teaches us that faith is the key to accessing all of God’s Power, Grace, Love, Mercy, Forgiveness, and Favor. God does not take money; you cannot buy your way into Heaven. God does not take work; you cannot work your way into Heaven. God does not take good deeds; you cannot manipulate your way into Heaven. If God does not take them in Heaven, He does not take them on earth. I am trying to get your mind renewed to see that the only working element that you have to get you into Heaven (both spiritually and naturally) is by faith. You must labor in faith, not in works or deeds. By the end of this book, not only will you get your bread, but you will get the entire loaf.
Download or read book Redeeming Productivity written by Reagan Rose and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2022-10-04 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Feeling overwhelmed and unproductive? The answer isn’t to do more. What image forms in your mind when you think of productivity? An assembly line? Spreadsheets? Business suits or workplace uniforms? In the ancient world, productivity didn't conjure images like these. Instead, it referred to crop yield and fruit bearing. This agrarian imagery helps us understand productivity through a biblical lens. Jesus taught, By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit (John 15:8). Who doesn’t want to have a truly productive life—to bear much fruit? But how does this happen in the places we hold dear—the home, workplace, and in our communities? We often feel overworked and overrun, defeated and discouraged. The world says be productive so that you can get all you can out of this life. The Bible says be productive so you can gain more of the next life. In Redeeming Productivity, author Reagan Rose explores how God’s glory is the purpose for which He planted us. And he shows how productivity must be firmly rooted in the gospel. Only through our connection to Christ—the True Vine—are we empowered to produce good fruit. This book shows how we can maintain the vitality of that connection through simple, life-giving disciplines. Readers will discover manageable applications like giving God the first fruits of our days. Additionally, Reagan discusses how our perspective on suffering is transformed as we see trials as God’s pruning for greater productivity.

Download or read book Transforming Work written by Katherine C. Little and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2013-08-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pastoral poetry has long been considered a signature Renaissance mode: originating in late sixteenth-century England via a rediscovery of classical texts, it is concerned with self-fashioning and celebrating the court. But, as Katherine C. Little demonstrates in Transforming Work: Early Modern Pastoral and Medieval Poetry, the pastoral mode is in fact indebted to medieval representations of rural labor. Little offers a new literary history for the pastoral, arguing that the authors of the first English pastorals used rural laborers familiar from medieval texts—plowmen and shepherds—to reflect on the social, economic, and religious disruptions of the sixteenth century. In medieval writing, these figures were particularly associated with the reform of the individual and the social world: their work also stood for the penance and good works required of Christians, the care of the flock required of priests, and the obligations of all people to work within their social class. By the sixteenth century, this reformism had taken on a dangerous set of associations—with radical Protestantism, peasants' revolts, and complaints about agrarian capitalism. Pastoral poetry rewrites and empties out this radical potential, making the countryside safe to write about again. Moving from William Langland’s Piers Plowman and the medieval shepherd plays, through the Piers Plowman–tradition, to Edmund Spenser’s pastorals, Little’s reconstructed literary genealogy discovers the “other” past of pastoral in the medieval and Reformation traditions of “writing rural labor.”

Download or read book Work and Labour written by Richard J. McQueen and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-02-15 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of Work and Labour, based on the research topics conducted by Fernand D'Amico and Jacques Wisman, is proposed in this book as a themed walk through the passages of Scripture from the Old and New Testament. The biblical text (KJV) is presented deliberately devoid of additional comments to offer an immediate and direct perception of the selected track.The thematic reading of the biblical text opens to the reader as a fascinating experience that allows him to benefit in a short time, a surprising and rich picture of content.Work, deeply inherent to the human condition, is not only an existential needs, but also the most powerful mean of expression of human vitality. The work is active love that makes reconciliation with God and with creation and at the same time the development of their personality. But there are also some negative aspects and dangers that the Bible does not neglect to point out in several pieces.
Download or read book Responsive Labor written by David Hadley Jensen and published by Presbyterian Publishing Corp. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most Christians work outside the church, so for many--if not most--of us, daily labor seems divorced from Christian beliefs and ethics. Work is an inevitable factor of human existence, and yet we do not have appropriate theological resources to help us reflect on its nature and meaning in light of Christian understanding and contemporary American culture. How can we as Christians understand our work as a dimension of our faith?
