Book Synopsis Passionate Holiness by : O'Neill Dennis O'Neill
Download or read book Passionate Holiness written by O'Neill Dennis O'Neill and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2010 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW 2010 B&W Edition Archbishop Desmond Tutu of Cape Town once said with regard to South Africa's Apartheid policy, "One of the ways of helping to destroy a people is to tell them that they don't have a history, that they have no roots." He recently described homophobic discrimination "as totally unacceptable and unjust as Apartheid ever was." Unfortunately, it has been particularly difficult for some gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgendered Christians to remain connected with and identified with their own faith traditions because some of these traditions not only treat them as people of secondary status but teach Christian history as though no people of same-gender attraction or opposite-gender identity had any noteworthy place in it and had made no significant contributions at all to Christian tradition.Passionate Holiness tries to remedy this situation by explaining why acquaintance with the stories of Sts. Polyeuct and Nearchus, Sts. Sergius and Bacchus, Christ/Holy Wisdom, Sts. Matrona, Perpetua and Felicity, Brigid and Darlughdach, and many others with whom gender minorities can identify can help them to connect with their own history and spiritual legacy and empower them to face a brighter future with a sense of optimism and inclusion. The story of the removal of the feast of Sts. Sergius and Bacchus from the liturgical calendar of the Roman Catholic Church in 1969 - ironically, the very year New York's Stonewall Riots launched the gay liberation movement - is a particularly revealing example of how far some religious authorities will go to keep gender minorities distanced from their own history. This is all explored in Passionate Holiness. "It's a marvelous, beautiful book." Ursula Vaughan Williams poet, novelist, and widow of composer Ralph Vaughan Williams "It was a fascinating study. Congratulations on a job well done." Andrew M. Greeley priest, sociologist, novelist "Many thanks for sending me your book Passionate Holiness, which I enjoyed very much. It is a fascinating account of the cult of Holy Wisdom, mixed with stories of various 'distinctive people' and the roles they have played in the history of the Church. It is full of saints, sinners, heretics, martyrs, and those who persecuted them. Some of these people, and the ideas they believed in, have featured in my novels, though there was much that I was not aware of. The material in the Russian and Irish chapters were new to me. You say at the beginning of Chapter VII that the reader may cry out "Too much information". Not me! Passionate Holiness is a work of remarkable scholarship, and I wish it had been published before I wrote my Byzantine novels, rather than afterwards. If I ever return to Byzantium as a subject, I am sure I will find your book invaluable. The icons that illustrate the book are beautiful. You are lucky to have access to works by such gifted artists. If only my publisher had commissioned something similar for the cover of Theodore. Maybe next time!" Christopher Harris English novelist, author of "Theodore," "Memoirs of a Byzantine Eunuch," and "False Ambassador" "Here's something the antigay modern Roman Catholic Church would like to forget: In the early years of Christianity, homosexual saints were worshipped too, as Dennis O'Neill reminds us. O'Neill is a Chicago-based Catholic pastor who 11 years ago founded The Living Circle, a spirituality center devoted to GLBT people and their friends. In 1995 the Circle hosted an art exhibit entitled "Passionate Holiness" that displayed such holy icons as Saint Boris and George the Hungarian and Saints Brigid and Darlughdach of Kildare. O'Neill's retelling of such stories, plus striking color illustrations, will surprise and inspire any reader, gay or not." Anne Stockwell Review from "The Advocate", May 24, 2005 issue, p. 82. "Passionate Holiness is indeed a remarkable book, unlike any other that I know of. Its scope

Book Synopsis The Call to Holiness by : Richard M. Gula
Download or read book The Call to Holiness written by Richard M. Gula and published by Paulist Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Call to Holiness was inspired by the fundamental conviction that spirituality without morality is disembodied and morality without spirituality is rootless. In other words, our moral life arises out of our spirituality to become its public face. Furthermore, what we do to nurture our spirituality through spiritual practices can and ought to have an effect on our moral practices. In the end, spirituality and morality converge when we consider life as a whole rather than simply focus on individual actions in the moral life or devotional practices in the spiritual life."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Download or read book The Hole in Our Holiness written by Kevin DeYoung and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hole in our holiness is that we don't care much about holiness. Or, at the very least, we don't understand it. And we all have our reasons too: Maybe the pursuit of holiness seems legalistic. Maybe it feels like one more thing to worry about in your already overwhelming life. Maybe the emphasis on effort in the Christian life appears unspiritual. Or maybe you've been trying really hard to be holy and it's just not working! Whatever the case, the problem is clear: too few Christians look like Christ and too many don’t seem all that concerned about it. This is a book for those of us who are ready to take holiness seriously, ready to be more like Jesus, ready to live in light of the grace that produces godliness. This is a book about God's power to help us grow in personal holiness and to enjoy the process of transformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: HOLINESS OF LIFE SAINT BONAVENTURE — A Classic! — Includes Illustrations by Claude Monet — Includes an Active Index, Table of Contents and NCX Navigation Publisher: Available in Paperback: ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-259-7 The great Franciscan Doctor of the Church St. Bonaventure composed "Holiness of Life" as a manual for the Poor Clares. Writing clearly, practically, and movingly, he outlines central themes of Christian spirituality, moving from the purgative way (self-knowledge, repentance, humility) through the illuminative way (prayer, meditation on the Passion) to arrive at last at a description of union with God, the summation of all desires. More than 200 citations and allusions to Scripture and the Fathers demonstrate Bonaventure's deep synthesis of Christian theological thought even in a short work designed to be accessible to any reader.

Book Synopsis Holiness of Life by : Saint Bonaventure
Download or read book Holiness of Life written by Saint Bonaventure and published by Aeterna Press. This book was released on 2015-02-22 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Blessed is the man whom Thou shalt instruct, O Lord, and shalt teach out of Thy Law” (Ps. xciii, 12.) I hold that only the man taught by the Holy Spirit and imbued with His blessed unction is to be considered wise. The Prophet David lays down the same principle; he alone is really happy and wise whose mind the Lord has made learned in the Law. “The Law of God,” David notes elsewhere (Ps. xviii, 8), is the only law “without fault” and irreproachable. It alone has the secret of “converting souls” to the way of salvation. Aeterna Press

Download or read book Sleeping with Holiness written by Daura Jones and published by Inspiring Voices. This book was released on 2012-07-10 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Perhaps you are wondering how to get through the pain of divorce or financial hardship. Perhaps you are having trouble sorting out your emotions in a new relationshipor even a relationship of many years. Perhaps you are wondering how to listen for Gods word in your daily life. Twin sisters Daura Jones and Daphne Parker address all this and much more in Sleeping with Holiness. The Greek word for sleep is Koimao, which means to calm, quiet, or be still. Just as our physical bodies need sleep to be restored, our souls need rest so that we can prepare for the Holy Spirit to enter and work in our lives. Each of us fights battles within our minds, bodies, and spirits, and each of us experiences trials. This guide explores what it means to rest in God. It also offers the encouragement you need for cultivating endurance and patience, makes clear the power of prayer and love, and demonstrates the true purpose of fasting. Jones and Parker speak to those who have misplaced their hearts with God and reach out to those who may not yet know Christ except in the most superficial way. Whether you feel you have drifted away from God, yearn to renew your passion for the Christian life, or want to deepen your walk with him, here are tools that can help. Get ready to experience new joy and confidence as you learn to sleep with holiness!
