Every couple can benefit by understanding and practicing the valuable principles taught in this book.

Chaplaincy. Pastoral care. Ministry. The care of souls. What lies beneath that which lies beneath them?Like Virgil, chaplain Stephen Faller guides an unusual tour winding through personal disclosure about ministry, adoption, chaplaincy, and disability. Contextualized within chaplaincy and clinical pastoral education, Faller examines these ""visions from a little-known country."" Within the landscape are the sights of living in a post-9/11 world as they prefigure the change and uncertainty that marked American life and ministry after the pandemic of 2020. A conclusion to ""a dialectical inquiry at the end of the world,"" Faller explores the history of philosophy and religion in order to navigate an already unusual life within strange times. Essential reading for chaplains, and helpful insights for all those within the helping professions. As ministry continues to move beyond the surrounding walls of the institutional building, Faller suggests that chaplaincy can be a meaningful space for ordained ministry as one of the great ""spaces between spaces."" Moreover, this confessor's confession spells a way for storytellers and story collectors to find direction when meaning is lost. Chaplaincy itself is a meaningful response to a world turned upside down.

Patristic Nectar Publications is pleased to present this new pre-marital counseling theological workbook entitled Enduring Love: Laying Christian Foundations for Marriage. Marriage preparation, together with the sacred institution of marriage itself, has fallen on hard times in the culture of the post-Christian West. It is more important than ever for couples to saturate their hearts and minds with the glorious vision of holy matrimony presented by the Church in Holy Tradition and lived by countless married saints for the last two thousand years. Here in the pages of Enduring Love couples will find inspired teaching from the Holy Scriptures, the writings of the Holy Fathers, and the service texts of the sacrament itself, on how to live in a genuinely Christian marriage in which the home becomes a domestic church. Each of the ten chapters contains both a succinct theological teaching and a workbook section with questions for the couple to work through together in preparation for marriage. Through Enduring Love may God inspire the hearts of those preparing to be married, and also those already married who would like to deepen their union and render it more pleasing to God and to themselves.

The greatest way we are kept from freedom is not anything on the outside, but the brokenness we feel inside when who we ARE is shamed, manipulated, suppressed.Our sexuality is who we are, our power to live the life we want to, the means by which we find our destiny.This power of ours has been crippled by abuse, one on one as well as mass abuse of humanity.We have blocks in our subconscious or sleeping mind that we CAN release.These writings are realizations that have rehabilitated me and helped me walk again.Some of the topics covered in this book are:Sexual ShameSexual Shame is UnnaturalHow to Actually Overcome Sexual ShameConversation with Granddad - Sexual DesireHidden Sexual AbuseSigns of Hidden Sexual Abuse - Cheating on YourselfThe Stages of Hunger in Blocked Up PersonalitiesThe Principle of LifeFalse Parents & Sexual Energy; Thrones & DragonsSexual energy draining by faux spiritual authoritiesCrossing the ThresholdAll about Jing, Mojo and ShenThe Eye and Sexual EnergyDouble Energy Field - Energy RehabilitationHow to Holistically Stabilize Energy Levels - Energy Flow from Consciousness to BodyHerbs for Hormonal & Sexual Energy Imbalance caused by Trauma around Puberty5 Causes of Long Term Energy DrainingEnergy flow problems caused by disrespect of our emanations.

Everything in this world started from a seed which came from God It doesn't matter if you believe in him or not. Every person born has a part of God in them, and that small part is called the breath of life you can deny it all you want but you can't escape the truth. Every where you turn you will see two forces at work in this world and with in your own soul Good and Evil. But one thing we as humans have not been taught is that everything that happens to us good or bad comes from the light or the darkness we choose then dictate to our physical body to carry out. Think about this anger hatred unforgiveness lust, lives in the dark side of our soul love peace joy comes from the flicker of Gods light with in our soul. this book will show you the reader how to gain control of the light within your soul and hold on to it thus restoring hope and trust agin. This is the first of 2 books I will be writing.

An unknown author writes an unlikely book and inadvertently sparks an improbable global movement.The manuscript was written longhand on a yellow pad in a small Oregon town by a Quaker pastor describing twelve ancient Christian disciplines (the very definition of the term "unlikely"). But publishers at Harper & Row saw something special in what Richard Foster had written and took a risk.The movement kindled by the book developed slowly, almost imperceptibly. But once it caught hold, it exploded into flame.Celebration of Discipline was conceived during a period in history that Charles Dickens might describe as being the best of times and the worst of times. From its inception, American culture had been linked to Christian faith and values. We were "one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." The 1950s and early '60s saw the peak years of American churchgoing, when 70 percent of citizens attended church. But as the decade of the '60s stretched on, values and perspectives that had long been accepted as foundational to American faith and life began to come into question.When Celebration of Discipline spotlighted the superficiality that had come to characterize Christianity, it ignited the spiritual formation movement by prescribing the ancient spiritual practices as the necessary corrective. Michael Maudlin, religion publisher at HarperCollins, acknowledges, "People do not remember how Christians thought about spiritual formation in Christ before Celebration of Discipline was published. Most everybody now thinks it is natural for evangelicals to practice spiritual Disciplines. But it was not always so. Celebration of Discipline serves as a wonderful window into how a book can change a subculture."This is the story of that book.

We want more...but it is exhausting. How do we live a fulfilling, balanced life in the midst of our demands? What if we slow down and miss out? What if opportunities pass us by? We wrestle with remaining present while trying to keep up.What if I told you there is a rhythm to life that offers purpose and intentional rest? Step out of the Garden and into a deepening faith, characterized by a renewed mind and personal growth.In Out of the Garden: Breaking Free From Sin and Shame, Jen Hoffman, licensed counselor and relationship guide, invites readers to:Take a closer look at what shapes personal identity, values, and beliefsFind new ways to connect with GodRecognize the barriers to a growing faithAdopt a helpful approach to handle thoughts and emotions with easeSlow down and experience the rhythm of life in a whole new wayHoffman uses humor and shares inspiration through biblical truth and everyday tools that will help people draw closer to God and thrive in their lives.

Ce livre, Grandir avec l'¿uvre, de Théodore Andoseh est un récit vivant de l'un des cours annuels les plus sérieux de l'Université mondiale de la prière et du jeûne pour les leaders, les missionnaires et les implanteurs d'églises, qui s'est tenu à Koume, Bertoua, du 27 mars au 5 avril 2023.Tout ce qui grandit est appelé à changer au fil des ans. L'¿uvre de Dieu ne fait pas exception. Au fur et à mesure que l'¿uvre grandit, le dirigeant doit grandir. Si le dirigeant grandit, l'¿uvre grandira. Telles sont les deux idées clés développées dans ce livre sur le réalignement du leadership spirituel :Au fur et à mesure que l'¿uvre grandit, le leader doit grandir aussi.Si le leader grandit, le travail grandira avec lui.L'¿uvre ne doit pas grandir plus que le leader, et le leader doit rester sur le courant principal de Dieu au fur et à mesure que l'¿uvre grandit. Si le dirigeant ne grandit pas, il ne sera bientôt plus en phase avec l'¿uvre et pourrait devenir inutile. Il ne dirige plus l'¿uvre, c'est l'¿uvre qui le dirige.C'est notre besoin urgent en matière de leadership !

Mr. Ben - Chimezie Benedict Ihekuna - is a philosopher of sorts, playing with the words we bandy around in speech, dabbling in the peculiarity of the messages passed across in the form of 'talking', and TALKING THOUGHTS is simply thoughts that are talking! Or rather it isn't just that at all. It's a combination of poetry, inspiration, and stories touching on gender interests, politics, relationships, general knowledge, philosophy, and science. Above all else, it's about communication between human beings and the opportunity it brings for playfulness in the passing over of information on feelings and emotions - on our realities - and it's about how vital the quality of that communication really is.

Desires, when approached with gratitude, become an expression of co-creation with the universe. Rather than a list of demands, desires become an open dialogue with the divine, a recognition of the interconnected dance between personal intentions and the cosmic flow of abundance. Gratitude allows individuals to align their desires with the natural rhythm of life, fostering a sense of trust in the unfolding of divine timing and orchestrations.The spiritual perspective on desires and gratitude involves acknowledging the interconnectedness of all things. Gratitude expands beyond personal wants to encompass a recognition of the collective abundance shared with others. This awareness fosters a sense of unity and compassion, recognizing that the fulfillment of personal desires can ripple into the well-being of the larger community.The practice of gratitude invites individuals to be present in the moment, appreciating the journey as much as the destination. It involves celebrating the small victories, expressing appreciation for the lessons learned, and finding joy in the process of desire manifestation. Gratitude becomes a sacred ritual that infuses the pursuit of desires with mindfulness and a deep sense of appreciation.In conclusion, the spiritual perspective on desires, infused with gratitude, transforms the pursuit of wants into a journey of abundance and fulfillment. By cultivating gratitude as a foundational practice, individuals align their desires with the natural flow of life, co-creating with the universe, and recognizing the interconnected web of abundance that weaves through every aspect of existence. This harmonious dance between gratitude and desires invites individuals to embark on a transformative journey of spiritual growth, connection, and a deep appreciation for the inherent abundance of life.

Praise God I was born and raised in a place and time which my extended family had little. There was never enough food, and clothing was sparse. I grew up without a father, though notwithstanding, having many females in the family, there were always men around. In this continual scenario, I was able to see what sin really is and how it takes advantage of the deceived, eventually taking their lives.I completed an online seminary course and improved my knowledge of God's Word. I held church services in my home weekly, for over ten years. I have led many people to Christ and counseled them concerning how the deceiver was trying to rob them. I pray that God remembers that I shared the love he shares with me.

Fresh out of college, hating her job, and searching for meaning, Meghan Tschanz left everything to join a mission trip around the globe, and quickly witnessed oppression experienced by women that she never thought possible. Over the next several years, she befriended women around the globe who had survived sex trafficking, female genital mutilation, and violence so extreme Meghan wondered at the woman's survival. Through listening to their stories, Meghan started to notice a pattern that pointed to systems of injustice that held women back-systems that her childhood church had taught and in which she was complicit. She was changed. Returning to the United States, Meghan became keenly aware of how the teachings and messaging surrounding women in her own upbringing were part of the problem. In the process, she began to find her voice, one that spoke out against injustice and moved her into tension with her Christian community. Women Rising is Meghan Tschanz's personal journey of transformation. But it's also a Christian blueprint for anyone wanting to confront injustice against women while pointing to a biblical standard for gender equality. With humility and grit, Meghan calls Christian women to amplify their voices for righteousness-and she calls the church to listen.

Der erste Band der neuen Reihe "Epistula" über das Thema "Brief und Bildung" beleuchtet die vielfältigen Zusammenhänge zwischen der Gattung Brief und einer als Überbegriff für Erziehung, Ausbildung und Gelehrsamkeit verstandenen Bildung aus einer transkulturellen und diachronen Perspektive. Bildung und Briefe hängen auf unterschiedliche Weisen zusammen: Vom "Brief als Bildung" kann man sprechen, insofern Briefe im Blick auf Sprache und Stil unterschiedliche Grade von Bildung spiegeln, vom Grundlagenniveau der Lese- und Schreibkompetenz bis hin zu höchster Gelehrsamkeit. Ferner kommt "Bildung im Brief" zur Sprache, wenn Bildungsziele und -inhalte sowie Techniken und Methoden zu deren Erwerb oder auch Kontroversen darüber explizit Thema eines Briefes sind. Schließlich findet "Bildung durch Briefe" statt, da diese literarische Gattung in besonderer Weise dazu dient, Bildungsprozesse anzuregen und anzuleiten, die aufgrund der engen Bindung von Bildung an deren individuelle Aneignung meist auf Persönlichkeits- und Selbst-Bildung zielen. Die Beiträge aus zahlreichen Fachdisziplinen erörtern diese Facetten des Verhältnisses von "Brief und Bildung" aus verschiedenen Perspektiven von der Antike bis zur Moderne.

Jesus Christus ist unser Retter und Erlöser, ohne ihn gibt es keine Vergebung, keine Auferstehung, kein Leben bei unserem Herrn und Gott, einfach keine Zukunftsperspektive -vielleicht ein qualvolles Leben ohne Ende.Viele Menschen bezweifeln, dass es ihn gibt, denn sie hinterfragen es zu wenig.Der Mensch kann große technische Dinge schaffen, wie Mittel zur Fortbewegung, elektronische Geräte und vieles, vieles mehr und doch kann er nicht eine Blume, eine kleine Raupe - nichts Lebendes erschaffen. Ein wenig durch neue Züchtungen verändern, ja, und auch mit den Genen experimentieren - also nur Vorhandenes ein wenig umgestalten.Und wie großartig ist die Schöpfung, mit ihrer fantastischen Tier- und Pflanzenwelt, den Planetensystemen - letztlich mit dem Menschen.Gut ist es, von Göttlichem etwas zu wissen, sich mit diesen Dingen zu beschäftigen. Darum kann man Gott im Gebet fragen, die Gebote und Regeln durch Anwendung prüfen und somit schon etliches in Erfahrung bringen.Allein die zehn Gebote, wenn sie befolgt würden, hätten wir eine andere Welt: Keine Egoisten, keine Betrüger, keine Kriege, keine Mörder, viel Schlechtes wäre einfach nicht da. Menschen würden Notleidenden helfen und es gäbe wirkliche Nächstenliebe. Hier will ich meine Aufzählungen abschließen, jeder sollte sich doch selbst seine persönlichen Gedanken machen und vieles Notwendige in Erfahrungen bringen.Spätestens nach dem Erdenleben werden wir wissen, ob es Gott und Christus gibt.Und wie wird es sein, wenn wir dann in seine Augen schauen?

What if I told you there is relief from debilitating emotions and broken thinking? Our emotions naturally drive the way we see and experience life. Flawed thinking sabotages healthy emotions, and faulty emotions sabotage sound thinking. Insecurity, inadequacy, inferiority, discouragement, rejection, anxiety, hopelessness, and more are the results. For this reason, Blue Skies invites us on a healing exploration into the heights of Philippians 4:8-"Think about these things...."Herein lies the sacred destination for the wearied and burdened soul. Blue Skies: Above the Dark Clouds of Broken Thinking leads the reader on a transformative journey of the mind. Enlivening the spiritual senses and powerfully redirecting difficult emotions, you will perhaps never look at Philippians 4:8 quite the same way again.
