Humility is the greatest virtue in the spiritual life, the virtue which unlocks the graces of the Sacred Heartof Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary. It is the virtue by which we reach Heaven. It is the virtueOur Lord prized, for He is the greatest instructor of humility: "Learn of me, because I am meek andhumble of heart" (Matt. 11:29).In this marvelous work, Pope Leo XIII sets forth sixty counsels, little reflections, on how you can strive forthis most glorious virtue. And he concludes this book with some of the most beautiful quotes onhumility from some of the greatest saints. He wrote this powerful little work while serving as the Bishopof Perugia."Let the study of the knowledge of yourself, the fleeing from honors, and the love of humiliations, beyour weapons; and of these you should never divest yourself, no, not even for a single moment," saysPope Leo XIII. The pope further declares, "Holy Communion, by which we receive within our breasts invery substance the God made man and annihilated for love of us, is a wonderful school of humility and amost powerful means of acquiring it."Humility must be practiced daily in order to be acquired. Only a man of humility could write such aprofound work-a work, which will inspire you to battle the vice of pride with renewed vigor.

Right at the time you and your spouse said, "I do" the process of oneness began. You and your mate are always in a state of becoming one. Dr. Smith has noticed four factors that can hinder the process of oneness. The first is the lack of communication i.e., you just do not speak the same language. Secondly is lack of social, intellectual, recreational, and sexual intimacy. Then there is the issue of finances, not necessarily the lack thereof but a disagreement as to how to utilize finances. Lastly is misunderstanding or misinterpreting your partner's words and actions. This book will help couples navigate the waters of Becoming One.

Suffering from loss, first her father who was her hero. Then ten years later the loss of her mother with all the struggles of a hard life 26 miles inside the arctic circle. This is how a young girl from a small town survived and fought to make a better life for her children and future generations. "I was scared and I knew that I couldn't talk about such things, so I denied it until she believed me. I remember she came into my room smelling of alcohol, and asked me. My room was disheveled as was our conversation. How can I speak of such ugliness? "

Face it, if you're human you probably struggle with time management, either most of the time or at least some of it. And it's not enough to say, "Tomorrow I'll manage my day better." Mastering the clock takes forethought and effort-and it starts with a clear understanding of the gift of time in the first place. In Your Time, readers gain perspective on God's blessing of time, where with each tick of the timer we move closer to eternity.Lending masterly perspective that reads as flowingly as a conversation with a friend, author, businessman, and pastor Daniel W. Evans breaks down what's really involved in learning to manage and spend our time with intentionality. From issues of time-control, tools to monitor time, setting priorities, investing time, and learning to give the gift of ours, Evans' message is simple and direct: our earthly time is limited, and only God knows how much of the irreplaceable asset we have left. So we must invest it well! Because if we don't decide how we'll spend it, other people will.Learn from the bite-sized wisdom of history's brightest minds-philosophers, poets, world leaders, evangelists, and entrepreneurs, with a profound sense of its value. As Steve Jobs said, "It's really clear that the most precious resource we all have is time."In this concise and compelling booklet-one that takes no more than a single sit-down to complete-the reader is invited to consider time from a Scriptural perspective. And they're shown an easy formula to manage it, what Evans calls "the ABC's of investing time."One critical takeaway: time is undoubtedly our greatest asset on planet Earth, a gift created by God. And with a little consideration and planning, we can learn to spend it wisely, give it away generously, and thrive.

«Mount Athos, for over a thousand years a centre for monasticism, has attracted pilgrims for nearly as long. This fascinating collection of essays discusses pilgrimage, the pilgrims, and the monks themselves. The Athonite ban on females has not precluded essays by women, testifying to the Holy Mountain¿s appeal, transcending geography.»(Fr Andrew Louth)Mount Athos is the chief centre of pilgrimage for Eastern Orthodox Christians. As the spiritual hub of the Orthodox world it is also home to more than two thousand monks. Each of its twenty monasteries welcomes thousands of pilgrims every year to venerate its holy icons, to make their confessions, and to listen to the wisdom of its elders. This book delves into the nature of pilgrimage, for both Western and Eastern Christians. It describes the pilgrim experience both from the standpoint of the visiting pilgrim (be it men to the Athonite monasteries or women to their daughter houses elsewhere) and from that of the receiving monk. What is it like to live the life of a monk or nun for a few precious days? And what is it like for the monks (and nuns) to receive literally thousands of pilgrims every year? And are they true pilgrims or are they really tourists? What is so special about Athos? This book will answer these questions.

The Bible, Its Author, and the People Within will not only challenge you to take a good hard look at the things you've learned throughout your Christian walk, but will also teach you how to read the Bible. It will then introduce you to the God of creation as well as many of the traditions, customs, and practices of the people dwelling within the ancient world. The subject matter covered within these pages includes Israel's religious festivals; the betrothal and wedding ceremony; the bearing, rearing, and education of children; the various occupations of the day; the mourning, preparation, and burial of the dead, as well as the hereafter.Now you may be thinking: Is this book something I should take the time to read? Well, that depends. If you're someone who's willing to have your presuppositions and dearly held traditions challenged by God's Word, you should read it. If you're someone who's willing to deviate from the beaten path and follow the text of Scripture wherever it leads, you should read it. If you're someone who's willing to consider a perspective other than your own, then yes, you should read it. If not, then quite frankly, you shouldn't. Whether you're a thirty-year-veteran of the faith or a believer of only a few hours, this book can greatly benefit you if you're willing to first read it and then further investigate its claims.Generally speaking, the way you interact with life depends on your perception of the world around you. And as they say, perception is reality. But the problem with that is that a westerner's reality is not the reality of the easterner. As a student of God's Word, the only way you can benefit from what you read is to consider the culture, the rituals, the customs, the traditions, and the practices of those living within the biblical world. Unfortunately, more often than not, this is the exception to the rule. As westerners, our tendency is to impose our worldview on to the text of Scripture. This book will afford you the opportunity to get into the minds of the biblical writers.While this book deals with some of the most common religious and social practices of the Israelites, Building a Framework, the second book, focuses on the establishment of a divine council, the history of creation, the sin of the Watchers, the birth of the giants, Noah's flood, the disinheriting of the inhabitants of the earth, the calling of Abram, the planting of Israel's heavens and earth along with their history, the ministry of Christ, the reclaiming of the nations, and the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple in A.D. 70. The third book in this series, Digging Deeper, utilizes a handful of principles needed to accurately interpret the Scriptures.This series of books is very easy to read. These books are written in such a way that you should have no difficulty understanding the message conveyed. Although there are several theological terms sprinkled throughout these works, they are thoroughly explained for a better understanding of the Bible's meaning. Additionally, the majority of the biblical passages utilized within these books are written out for your convenience. The reason for this is simple. First of all, it minimizes the need for having to stop and look up each citation. But more importantly, it presents a biblical case for the assertions and conclusions drawn within each book. I have, to the best of my ability, searched God's Word for the truth. If you find what I have found, then build on it and share it with others. Assume nothing. You have the responsibility to study the Scriptures for yourself and draw your own conclusions.
