Book Synopsis Fundamentals of the Faith by : Peter Kreeft
Download or read book Fundamentals of the Faith written by Peter Kreeft and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2009-10-27 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kreeft considers all the fundamental elements of Christianity and Catholicism, explaining, defending and showing their relevance to our life and the world's yearnings. Here is a book to help you understand your faith more fully and to explain it to others more winningly. Like every religion, this faith has three aspects, corresponding to the three parts of the soul and filling the innate needs of all three parts. Kreeft uses these three divisions as the basic outline for his Christian apologetics. First, every religion has some beliefs, whether expressed in creeds or not, something for the intellect to know. Second, every religion has some duty or deed, some practice of program, some moral or ethical code, something for the will to choose. Finally, every religion has some liturgy, some worship, some "church", something for the body and the concrete imagination and the aesthetic sense to work at. Creed, Code and Cult; Words, Works and Worship, are a most useful way of outlining any religious faith, including the Catholic Faith of Christians. "These essays were written for Catholics by a Catholic. But I believe that nearly everything I say here will be found by the orthodox Biblical Protestant reader to be his faith as well: That solid and substantial core that C.S. Lewis called "mere Christianity" Peter Kreeft

Book Synopsis Starting Right by : Kenda Creasy Dean
Download or read book Starting Right written by Kenda Creasy Dean and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Starting Right: Thinking Theologically About Youth Ministry is the first academic textbook that introduces youth ministry students (whether undergraduate or graduate level) to a marriage of solid research, real life, and accessible design. Whereas most college-level texts may reflect a thorough (though impenetrable) mastery of the field, they tend to expect readers to plow through unnecessarily thick prose and bland design because “it’s good for them.” Youth Specialties doesn’t agree. In this debut title to a continuing academic book line, college and seminary students will be introduced to real-life research, real-life youth ministry dilemmas, and real-life solutions.Contributing writers represent a spectrum of Christian Education thought and practice, as well as widespread recognition in their field...transdenominational, yet the perfect background to ministry in any denomination or ministry organizationThis text includes thorough indexes, design, and graphics that compel readers from page to page (now that’s a first for a college text!); organization that permits professors to use any part of the text, in any order, rather than plod through the entire book from beginning to end; a perfect primary text that gives students a rich, academic, and readable (though not “popular”) grasp of every aspect of youth ministry a typical Intro course touches, while also serving as an ideal secondary text.

Download or read book Hope Endures written by Colette Livermore and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-12-02 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The searing memoir of an extraordinary woman who served as a nun for eleven years in Mother Teresa's order, Hope Endures is a compelling chronicle of idealistic determination, rigid discipline, and shattering disillusionment. InÊher life's journey from certainty to doubt, Colette Livermore enters the Missionaries of Charity order in 1973 with unwavering faith and total surrender ofÊher will and intellect after seeing a documentary on the order's work in India. Only eighteen at the time, Livermore has been studying to enter medical school -- a lifelong goal -- but virtually overnight severs her many ties with family, friends, and the life she's known in beautiful, rural New South Wales in order to train as a sister to aid the poor. In the process, she also gives herself over to the order's unexpectedly severe, ascetic regime, which demands blind obedience and submission. Given the religious name Sister Tobit, Livermore serves in some of the poorest places in the world -- the garbage dump slums of Manila, Papua New Guinea, and Calcutta -- bringing hope and care to people who are desperately ill, hungry, abandoned, and even dying, and comforting whomever she can. Although she draws inspiration and strength from her humanitarian work, Livermore and other nuns risk their own physical health, as they are sent to dangerous areas while being unschooled in the languages and cultures, untrained in medical care, and sometimes unprotected by vaccines. Livermore herself succumbs to bouts of drug-resistant cerebral malaria that almost kill her and to a new strain of hepatitis. Over time she also beginsÊto notice that the order's rigid insistence on unquestioning obedience harms the young sisters mentally, emotionally, and spiritually -- and she experiences a terrible inner struggle to find the right path for herself. As she tries to respond to the suffering around her, she often falls into an incomprehensible conflict between her vow to obey and her vow to serve, between religious strictures and the practice of compassion, between authority and personal conscience. Pressured to stay with the order by Mother Teresa and other superiors, as well as by the younger nuns, Livermore nonetheless decides to leave at age thirty and attain her medical degree, continuing to take health care and relief to impoverished people in remote areas -- the isolated aboriginal communities of the Outback and war-torn East Timor. Even as she serves others as a medical doctor, she continues in a crisis of faith thatÊeventually leads her to become an agnostic. Hope Endures is the eye-opening, deeply affecting story of a brave woman's search for meaning in a world that is rent with tragedies and contradictions. It is also an unflinching critique of any faith that insists on blind obedience. For true hope to endure, Dr. Livermore demonstrates, we must always strive to question, to face the hard truths, and to discover the courage to follow our convictions.

Download or read book Young! written by Alexander Jumbo and published by Alexander Jumbo. This book was released on 2017-12-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome To: ‘Young!’…. ‘Look Half Your Age or Less’ Dear Reader, thank you for reading this book. We do not only have to look ‘Young!’ we also should feel like somewhere between the age we look and our actual age. It is my duty first to convince you that what we call aging is nothing but a bundle of illnesses. To attain our aims per title ‘Young!’ it is essential we possess some knowledge of these topics that are explained in this book: Body nutrients Human body Family life Methods that can assist us acquire peace and happiness; and The methods we can use to push back aging. This is the first Book in the World that informs readers about how aging feels. It is the first Book in the World that warns readers about the pains and ills of aging. It is also the first Book that wholeheartedly advises readers to turn their back to aging. Battering aging will only bring you peace and happiness. Many are trying to do it, many have done it in the Far East, and we can do it. Since age fourteen I have been very much interested in the topics of ‘Peace, Good health, and Happiness’. I started being very interested in keeping fit from 1979 when I noticed my heart beating irregularly. Since then, I have been responsibly devoted to researching good health and youthfulness, particularly in the past nine years. And now I must give information so gathered to assist enthusiasts get back youthful looks. I believe I have a good, wide experience. I lived in Tropical Africa for thirty-eight years. During this period, I lived in rural communities, suburban, towns, and cities. And, God supporting me, I have lived in Temperate Europe for thirty-seven years, living in the City of Aberdeen in Scotland, and in the City of London in England. I have been in contact with all grades of people living in or visiting these African and European communities. I love nations in North and South America, where I spend most of my holidays. I direct my Pilgrimages to Israel in the Middle East. For Ancient Cultures that possess some very holy aspects so true that one can find hardly practiced in Christianity, I look to India and China for positive aspects of Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism; for there are some doctrines in these religions that preceded Christianity, that can make a good Christian better. For instance, the Buddhist doctrine of ‘Lovingkindness’ is like ‘Beatitudes’, and can expand the ‘Beatitudes’ to include reasonable love for animals and for other creatures in our environments. Knowledge of Life and Living as much as I have gained and can remember, is for me to leave for generations after mine, to assist in any little way to ease the burden of life, and increase harmless happiness. Without naming any person, I am bringing into this book most of my health experiences, and the health experiences of others I am close to, and the physical health changes of persons I am not close to, but have seen for a good period. I have also worked part-time as a home carer for elderly men and women. So-called ‘aging’ is a horrible thing. It is a destroyer. People hardly know when they get trapped by it. Some simply belief that they will age, so ‘aging’ very quickly arrives. A few try their best to push back ‘aging’, but an accident or problem may set ‘aging’ off. Here we learn how to keep it off and stop aging so soon as in our 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, or even 70’s. A reasonable person ensures that he or she is giving a correct message by having lived for several years in accordance with the message he is giving. And, yes indeed, I have; thanks to God! I have no dental records for I have never been treated by a dentist. I hardly have a painful tooth or swollen gum. I realise I had not been very good at caring for my teeth, nevertheless I have not lost any tooth; they are complete: 32 adult teeth, and are swiftly recovering. So, I don’t need a dentist, for I am very successfully caring for my teeth recently. For over 25 years I have been my only hairdresser, taking care of my hair almost effortlessly, and it’s booming. My health record is available to every reasonable news person. It has been very consistent since I was residing in Aberdeen, Scotland over 40 years ago. For decades, I did not see a health advisor or a doctor. I had a sharp painful muscle over my heart area in 2015, and mistakenly thought it was a heart problem. Arriving at the Emergency Department of the University College London Hospital, UK, I was informed that my heart was perfect. Each chapter of this book has messages very important for good health, life and living. Chapter 1 basically informs you that two persons of same age, say 30, can look different ages; one looking about 50, and the other looking about 18. Chapter 2 informs you about healthy feeding and its benefits. Chapter 3 reminds you about the different systems of the human body and how they function. Chapter 4 takes us back home to relationship between father and mother, and between parents and children, to ensure a peaceful and happy atmosphere for them, so, helping them look younger. Chapter 5 knows that everyone needs peace to progress in this life, so it marshals out sound principles for a peaceful life on this earth plane. Chapter 6 goes into the labor of assisting us discard the looks and feels of so-called aging; and pulls us away from evil beliefs that cloud our mentality to cripple us when we should be, otherwise, high-jumping or engaging similar strong sporting activity! Study Chapter 6, and live super! And finally, Chapter 7 is about the Writer: Alex. In areas of life I am not that conversant with, I have downloaded texts from the best of permissible sources, or made links to the best of websites. This book answers such questions as: “Can anyone inform me about how aging feels; how it hurts; and how I can, at least, avoid some effects of aging; for there is hardly any advisory service about it, and Grandma and Grandad who were old told me nothing about aging?” ‘Young!’…. ‘Look Half Your Age or Less’ is a worthy book to gift your parents, uncles and aunties, and even your children of age 15 and above, to assist them with improving their health and happiness. This book is full of information. Reading carefully through this book, and testing the techniques for at least a period of three months, must give you a positive outcome. You could even notice a positive change in less than one week. ‘Young!’…. ‘Look Half Your Age or Less’ is a book that directs you to easy sources of healing if you are not well. If you have, by chance, found yourself in the doldrums of unhappiness, this is a book that can lift you out; and if you are feeling frail, this is the book that informs you of good foods, good supplements, and good exercises to restore strength, happiness and youthfulness. I have written this book not only for encouragement to me to push back aging, but also for the personal enjoyment and encouragement to Readers who are interested in keeping healthy and ‘young-looking’. Have a very happy reading of this book!

Book Synopsis Growing Happy Kids by : Maureen Healy
Download or read book Growing Happy Kids written by Maureen Healy and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-04-03 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every parent wants his or her child to be happy and grow into a productive, fulfilled adult . . . and according to parenting expert Maureen Healy, the secret to that success is in providing a foundation of inner confidence. Parents and teachers know that confidence and inner strength are important attributes, but in an era where self-worth is often measured by possessions and attractiveness, most have no idea how to model true inner confidence for their kids or how to help them cultivate it. Real power—or inner confidence—is necessary to overcome obstacles, pursue our unique dreams, and be truly happy. Maureen Healy, a spiritual teacher with twenty years of experience as a child development expert, literally traveled the world from the Bronx to the base of the Himalayas to learn the connection between inner confidence and lasting happiness, and she shares that wealth of knowledge in Growing Happy Kids. Combining her Buddhist training, her background in child psychology, and the latest scientific research, Maureen shares her revolutionary model that defines inner confidence and cultivates a child's sense of optimism and connection. She explores each part of her system, which she called The Five Building Blocks of Confidence, with the mind of a scientist, yet the softness of a real parent who wants to raise strong, happy children. By using those building blocks—biology, beliefs, emotions, social, and spiritual—parents, teachers, and anyone who touches the life of a child can gain the skills necessary to foster happy kids who are strong, self-reliant, and confident. "In Growing Happy Kids, Maureen Healy has given us rich and valuable tools to assist us in honoring and supporting our children in building their self-confidence and helping them become happier. It is a MUST read for all parents, educators, and people who care." —Edwene Gaines, author of The Four Spiritual Laws of Prosperity "Drawing on her own extensive research and experience, Maureen Healy wisely leads parents and caregivers into the heart of awakening and activating the innate confidence with which every child is born. This is a book that parents will read over and over again." —Michael Bernard Beckwith, author of Spiritual Liberation: Fulfilling Your Soul's Potential
Download or read book Mother Teresa, CEO written by Ruma Bose and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2011-07-05 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When most people think of Mother Teresa, they think of a saint—a spiritual hero of extraordinary humanitarian accomplishments, a Nobel Peace Prize winner. But Mother Teresa was also the leader of one of the world’s largest and most successful organizations: the Missionaries of Charity. Since founding it in 1948 she has raised millions of dollars and, with over a million volunteers in more than 100 countries, it remains one of the most recognized brands in the world. How did one nun who never received any formal education in business build such an impressive global organization? Frank, realistic, and firmly grounded in practicality, Mother Teresa’s leadership style helped to inspire and organize people across the world. This book shares ten essential leadership principles drawn from Mother Teresa’s example and applies them to today’s business world. Authors Ruma Bose, an entrepreneur who volun- teered with Mother Teresa, and Lou Faust, a leading business expert, are the first to examine her in this light—as a leader whose management style and dedication to a singular vision led to one of the world’s most unlikely success stories. Mother Teresa may have been a saint, but her spectacular success was not a product of divine providence. Her genius was the simplicity of her vision and her dedication to its implementation. It was in the way she treated her people, refusing to distance herself from the everyday work of a typical sister of the Missionaries of Charity. It was in how she handled tough choices—like accepting donations from brutal Haitian dictator François “Papa Doc” Duvalier. These were the principles that made her the great leader of a global organization, and they can be applied by anyone in any organization—no sainthood required.
Book Synopsis The Young Atheist's Handbook by : Alom Shaha
Download or read book The Young Atheist's Handbook written by Alom Shaha and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07-19 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up in a strict Muslim community in south-east London, Alom Shaha learnt that religion was not to be questioned. Reciting the Qur'an without understanding what it meant was simply a part of life; so, too, was obeying the imam and enduring beatings when he failed to attend the local mosque. But Alom was more drawn to science and its power to illuminate. As a teen, he lived between two worlds: the home controlled by his authoritarian father, and a school alive with books and ideas. In a charming blend of memoir, philosophy and science, Alom explores the questions about faith and the afterlife that we all ponder. This is a book for anyone who wonders what they should believe and how they should live. It's for those who may need the facts and the ideas, as well as the courage, to break free from inherited beliefs. In this powerful narrative, Alom shows that it is possible to live a compassionate, fulfilling and meaningful life without God.
Book Synopsis Where There Is Love, There Is God by : Mother Teresa
Download or read book Where There Is Love, There Is God written by Mother Teresa and published by Image. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What you are doing I cannot do, what I’m doing you cannot do, but together we are doing something beautiful for God, and this is the greatness of God’s love for us.” —Mother Teresa, from Where There Is Love, There Is God In this book, Mother Teresa’s relationship with God and her commitment to those she served—the poorest of the poor—is powerfully explored in her own words. Taken largely from her private lessons to her sisters, published here for the first time, Where There Is Love, There Is God unveils her extraordinary faith in, and surrender to, God’s will. Love is perhaps the word that best summarizes Mother Teresa’s life and message. She sought to be an extension of God’s heart and hands in today’s world. She was called to be a missionary of charity, a carrier of God’s love to each person she met, especially those most in need. Yet she did not think that this was a vocation uniquely hers; she believed each person is in some way called to be a carrier of God’s love. Through the practical and timely advice she offers, Mother Teresa sets us on the path to closer union with God and greater love for our brothers and sisters.
