Sample Book Insights: #1 We must be willing to go down into the recreating silences, into the inner world of contemplation, if we want to move beyond the superficialities of our culture. #2 The Bible mentions two different Hebrew words to describe meditation, and they are used to convey the idea of listening to God’s word, reflecting on God’s works, rehearsing God’s deeds, and more. #3 God wants to have a relationship with us, and the Bible tells us that he spoke to Moses face to face as a man speaks to his friend. However, the Israelites were not ready for such intimacy, and so they told Moses not to speak to them anymore. #4 The biblical foundation for meditation is the belief that Jesus continues to act and speak even if people cannot see him with the naked eye. He is resurrected and at work in our world. He is not idle, and he has not developed laryngitis.

Download or read book Celebration of Discipline, Special Anniversary Edition written by Richard J. Foster and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A newly repackaged and updated 40th anniversary edition of the timeless guide that has helped numerous seekers discover a richer spiritual life infused with joy, peace, and a deeper understanding of God, updated with a new introduction by the author and a new section: "Entering the Great Conversation about the Growth of the Soul." Hailed by many as the best modern book on Christian spirituality, Celebration of Discipline explores the "classic Disciplines," or central spiritual practices, of the Christian faith. Along the way, Foster shows that it is only by and through these practices that the true path to spiritual growth can be found. Dividing the Disciplines into three movements of the Spirit, Foster shows how each of these areas contribute to a balanced spiritual life. The inward Disciplines of meditation, prayer, fasting, and study offer avenues of personal examination and change. The outward Disciplines of simplicity, solitude, submission, and service help prepare us to make the world a better place. The corporate Disciplines of confession, worship, guidance, and celebration bring us nearer to one another and to God. Foster provides a wealth of examples demonstrating how these Disciplines can become part of our daily activities—and how they can help us shed our superficial habits and "bring the abundance of God into our lives." He offers crucial new insights on simplicity, demonstrating how the biblical view of simplicity, properly understood and applied, brings joy and balance to our inward and outward lives and "sets us free to enjoy the provision of God as a gift that can be shared with others." The discussion of celebration, often the most neglected of the Disciplines, shows its critical importance, for it stands at the heart of the way to Christ. Celebration of Discipline will help Christians everywhere to embark on a journey of prayer and spiritual growth.

Book Synopsis Singing into Splintered Spaces by : E. Janet Warren
Download or read book Singing into Splintered Spaces written by E. Janet Warren and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-12-07 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contemporary society can be described as splintered: busy and noisy, but also empty and in need of healing. Christians are called to sing the Lord's song anew to the world but are sometimes confused about whether to prioritize loving God or loving our neighbor. This collection of essays shows that both are needed: mission and spiritual disciplines are actually intertwined and reciprocal. Some contributors to this volume take a theoretical perspective; others write from their experience in ministry. Disciplines discussed include classic ones like prayer and study, as well as novel ones like cruciformity, mindfulness, and neighborhood engagement. Written in accessible language with multiple anecdotes, this book aims to inspire both the practice of spiritual disciplines and the practice of mission. Join us as we journey from the Philippines to American nationalism to a prayer truck in inner city Hamilton, as we engage in quiet contemplation as well as compassionate action. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we dance rhythms of resting and responding, listening and leading, praying and proclaiming. Whether through solitude, discipleship groups, inviting strangers to dinner, speaking out against idolatry and injustice, or simply being present, we join Jesus as he repairs the splintered spaces of our lives.

Book Synopsis Disciple Making in a Culture of Power, Comfort, and Fear by : Matthew T. Dickerson
Download or read book Disciple Making in a Culture of Power, Comfort, and Fear written by Matthew T. Dickerson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2020-06-08 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speaking in and to a culture that worships power and comfort while cultivating fear as a manipulative tool, Matthew Dickerson offers a transformative alternative: authentic discipleship and disciple making. What does it mean to live as disciples of Christ, what would it look like to be transformed by the Holy Spirit, and how can we be open to that transformation? How can a follower of Christ live as salt and light in the midst of a power-hungry fear-mongering society? And how can we both teach and model that disciple life as we obey Christ's command to make disciples? In the tradition of spiritual theology and formation, Disciple Making in a Culture of Power, Comfort, and Fear draws deeply from Paul's Second Epistle to Timothy--viewed as a reflection on Jesus' great disciple-making commission--as well as on Dickerson's own experiences in disciple-making ministry on college campuses and his local church. Dickerson's writing is deeply informed by Scriptures, by the works of such important Christian thinkers, theologians, and writers as Eugene Peterson, John Stott, and Richard Foster, and also by the literature of C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien whose works he has been teaching and writing about for more than thirty years.
Book Synopsis Theology as Retrieval by : W. David Buschart
Download or read book Theology as Retrieval written by W. David Buschart and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tradition is the living faith of the dead." —Jaroslav Pelikan The movement to retrieve the Christian past is a mode of theological discernment, a cultivated habit of thought. It views the doctrines, practices and resonant realities of the Christian tradition as deep wells for a thirsty age. This movement across the church looks back in order to move forward. David Buschart and Kent Eilers survey this varied movement and identify six areas where the impulse and practice of retrieval has been notably fruitful and suggestive: the interpretation of Scripture, the articulation of theology, the practices of worship, the disciplines of spirituality, the modes of mission and the participatory ontology of Radical Orthodoxy. In each area they offer a wide-angle view before taking a close look at representative examples in order to give finer texture to the discussion. More than a survey and mapping of the terrain, Theology as Retrieval inspires reflection, practice and hope.
