Download or read book Resting Place written by Jane Rubietta and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A PERSONAL RETREAT. We've never needed it more. We run from one place to the next - from meetings and appointments to our kids' soccer practice, from work to class to choir rehearsal, from the grocery store to small group - and then drop into bed later than we hoped, exhausted and dreading the morning. We want to slow down but don't know how and don't really believe that we can. And often, the idea of a personal retreat - time for solitude and silence - makes us feel as anxious as all our frenzied rushing. What in the world would we do with an hour, an afternoon or (gulp!) a whole day of solitude with God? But what is the cost of our frantic pace? What are we missing by not slowing down for reflection and meditation on Scripture? What kind of toll does our anxious running take on those around us - and, even more deeply, on our own soul? In Resting Place, retreat speaker Jane Rubietta addresses soul matters with retreat topics such as: dealing with our fear of abandonment; wrestling with discontent; overcoming our attempts to control others; fulfilling our deep desire to be loved Spiritual retreats help us enter Psalm 23 rest, a place of true rest and trust in our loving, gentle Shepherd. With Scripture to meditate on, quotes to contemplate, questions, prayer and journaling ideas, and creative exercises, Resting Place leads us to and through times of rest. The silence and solitude will follow us into our everyday world as we allow Jesus to guide, comfort and restore us. Come to the Shepherd and find the true rest your soul longs for.

First he explains everything about retreats: what they are, why people go, how to prepare, what to pack, and what to do while there. Then he provides an extensive directory of over 250 retreat centers in all fifty states and Canada, complete with all the information readers need to contact the retreat center that is right for them.

Book Synopsis Habits of the Mind by : James W. Sire
Download or read book Habits of the Mind written by James W. Sire and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2022-04-05 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Christianity Today Book Award Winner What does it mean to love God with your mind? Can the intellectual life be a legitimate Christian calling? In this deeply personal book, James Sire brings wit and wisdom to bear on these questions. He draws from his own experience and the life of John Henry Newman to explore how to think well for the glory of God and the sake of his kingdom. Habits of the Mind challenges you to avoid one of the greatest pitfalls of intellectual life: the temptation to separate being from knowing. Sire shows how to cultivate intellectual virtues and disciplines—habits of the mind—that will strengthen you in pursuit of your calling. Thinking well is integral to acting righteously. Sire offers assurance that intellectual life can be a true calling for Christians: because Jesus was the smartest man who ever lived, you can and should accept the challenge to think with more accuracy, wisdom, humility, and passion. This classic work is now available as part of the IVP Signature Collection, which features special editions of iconic books in celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of InterVarsity Press.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest." (Mark 6:31b) Jesus calls His disciples to come with Him. This is a call many people need to hear today with fresh ears. The world moves so quickly, and the pace is frantic. Everything is urgent, and it seems impossible to stop long enough to hear the whisper of God. The desire to pause is a longing God has placed in our hearts. It is a longing to spend time with Him. Most will people do not know how to open the gift of the Sabbath. Sanctuary in Time invites you to consider setting aside a special amount of time for the purpose of discovering a new or refreshed intimacy with God. It leads you to get away with Jesus to a quiet place and rest in Him. It is carefully crafted to guide you into an experience of the presence of God in a deeper and more meaningful way as you pause to be with Him. It will awaken in you a desire to have Sabbath become a regular time in the rhythm of your life. "As a leadership couple involved in global missions for 40 years, we have come to realize the importance and value of Sabbath rhythm. It's so very easy in ministry to focus on performance rather than spiritual intimacy with our Father. We have indeed grown through our experience with Sanctuary in Time: A Sabbath Retreat Guidebook. Chuck Cervenka takes you deep into Scripture while providing a practical guide to understanding and experiencing Sabbath. During our Sabbath Retreat we each found ourselves overwhelmed with the presence of Christ. The retreat experience allowed us to pull away for a time of spiritual renewal but also provided a path forward to include Sabbath rhythms in our daily lives. We highly recommend this guidebook for anyone in ministry who finds themselves in need of some time and space to reconnect with their Savior." Perry & Sandi Bradford, Executive Director Barnabas International Chuck Cervenka is the Senior Pastor at Calvary Community Church in Williams Bay, Wisconsin where he lives with his wife Karen. He loves being a shepherd and has a heart for people to find the rest God has designed for them by opening the gift of the Sabbath in their lives.
