Book Synopsis A Lily Among the Thorns by : Miguel A. De La Torre
Download or read book A Lily Among the Thorns written by Miguel A. De La Torre and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-07-20 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new way for Christians to think about sexuality Author Miguel De La Torre, a well-respected ethicist and professorknown for his innovative readings of Christian doctrine, rejectsboth the liberal and conservative prejudices about sex. He insteaddevelops an ethic that is liberative yet grounded soundly in theBible; a sexuality that celebrates God’s gift of great sex byfostering intimacy, vulnerability and openness between lovingpartners. In A Lily Among the Thorns, De La Torre examines theBible, current events, history and our culture-at-large to show howand why racism, sexism, and classism have distortedChristianity’s central teachings about sexuality. The authorshows how the church’s traditionally negative attitudestoward sex in general—and toward women, people of color, andgays in particular—have made it difficult, if not impossible,to create a biblically based and just sexual ethic. But when theBible is read from the viewpoint of those who have beenmarginalized in our society, preconceived notions aboutChristianity and sex get turned on their heads. Taking onhot-button topics such as pornography, homosexuality, prostitution,and celibacy, the author examines how “reading from themargins” provides a liberating approach to dealing withissues of sexuality.

Determined to forge her own path forward, Mia plots a daring escape, but could never predict the greatest betrayal of all: her own body. Mia possesses the very magic she has sworn to destroy.

As her marriage to Tamlin approaches, Feyre's hollowness and nightmares consume her.

While Feyre navigates a dark web of politics, passion, and dazzling power, a greater evil looms. She might just be the key to stopping it, but only if she can harness her harrowing gifts, heal her fractured soul, and decide how she wishes to shape her future-and the future of a world in turmoil.

It is also about perceptology, a coined term I have given this study of one’s perception. Our situations change as we go through life, therefore our perception of them changes also. Having heard intimate secrets in intimate surroundings with many women over the years, in my hairdressing career, I understand what is bothering many women today. With the aid of the subconscious mind, we can explore our early perceptions and see them in a different light. Some of these perceptions from our early life are stuck in our subconscious and are looking for solutions to be free. This is a workbook to help women find a way to let go of the negative things they have been carrying around since childhood. Using this method will allow them to see what’s real and what’s not. It is my intent to give you a plan and a pathway to follow to achieve the happiness in your life you deserve. Because the only thing you can really change in life is yourself, this book can help you do that. This book will take you from your earliest perceptions, to a different view of those perceptions. Help yourself see through the keyhole and look beyond, to what’s really going on, on the other side of the door. Let’s get real can help you do just that.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, we will explore the mystery of the thorn in the flesh. Paul stated that God had given him a thorn in his flesh in order to keep him humble because of the revelation that was in his life. However, there has been much controversy over what the thorn in his flesh was, and how God could allow such a thing to exist. In addition, there are Christians claiming that certain afflictions in their lives are a "thorn in the flesh," when they may not be. Therefore, we will endeavor to bring understanding to these concerns and discover what impact this has upon the believer today.

Book Synopsis Ascending the Celestial Hierarchy by : John Paul Thomas
Download or read book Ascending the Celestial Hierarchy written by John Paul Thomas and published by My Catholic Life!. This book was released on 2024-09-19 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guided by the Nine Choirs of Angels, ascend the Golden Staircase to Seraphic Glory! Have you ever wondered what it takes to reach the highest heights of heavenly glory? How does one become a saint, fully united to God, beholding His divine essence with the greatest clarity and love? Ascending the Celestial Hierarchy: The Golden Staircase to Seraphic Glory offers a profound journey into the mysteries of the Celestial Hierarchy and the spiritual ascent every soul is called to make. Rooted in the teachings of Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite, the vision of Saint Matilda of Hackeborn, and enriched by the insights of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Saint Bonaventure and other Doctors of the Church, this book explores the connection between the Nine Choirs of Angels and the stages of our own conversion. The Nine Choirs of Angels, from the simple Guardian Angels to the Seraphim, experience different degrees of participation in the Beatific Vision, as determined by God according to their natural gifts and mission. Human souls are invited to rise through ever-deepening stages of grace, moving from the Purgative to the Illuminative and Unitive Ways, until reaching the summit of holiness, where they share in the glory of the Seraphim—those who burn with the purest love for God. The Path to Heaven: Christ and the Mysteries of the Rosary At the heart of this ascent is the life of Christ Himself, Who not only redeemed humanity but also showed us the way to holiness. By meditating on the twenty mysteries of the Rosary, we align our lives to Christ’s journey—from His Incarnation, through His public ministry, to His Passion, Resurrection, and Ascension. Each mystery serves as a point on our spiritual road map, guiding us through Christ's example to the eternal glory that awaits in Heaven. By following the path modeled on the angelic choirs and the mysteries of Christ’s life, we discover the steps necessary for attaining the fullness of the Beatific Vision—a vision in which the greatest saints participate with the most intense love and clearest understanding of God’s divine essence. What You'll Discover in This Book: The Nine Choirs of Angels: Explore the ancient angelology of Pseudo-Dionysius and its spiritual implications, as well as how the choirs reveal different degrees of grace and participation in the Beatific Vision. Saint Matilda’s Vision of the Golden Staircase: Understand her mystical vision of nine steps as a guide for our own ascent to heavenly glory. The Mystical Tradition: Delve into the teachings of saints, such as Saint Bonaventure, Saint John of the Cross, and Saint Teresa of Ávila on the spiritual stages of conversion, aligned with the angelic hierarchy. The Power of the Rosary: Learn how to meditate deeply on the mysteries of the Rosary, using them as a practical guide for daily spiritual growth and deeper union with Christ. A Practical Path to Holiness: This accessible, practical roadmap to becoming a saint is for everyone: those beginning their spiritual journeys, those seeking to deepen their faith, and seasoned theologians. With the help of the angelic choirs, the model of Christ’s life, and the grace He merited for us, may you be led along the path to Seraphic Glory!
