Book excerpt: Within the haven of our homes, we should surround ourselves with things that uplift us. Handmade objects such as quilts, oil paintings, well-written novels, and embroidered pillows-expressions of our own creativity and that of others-can feed our souls. House of Belief is a unique take on interior design, a vividly illustrated and lavishly photographed how-to guide that assumes no special design talent on the part of the reader, just a strong desire to express individuality. Kelee Katillac encourages us to use the tools we have at hand to create home environments that express ourselves rather than the whims and dictates of the interior design industry.
Book Synopsis House of Faith or Enchanted Forest? by : Charles W. Hedrick
Download or read book House of Faith or Enchanted Forest? written by Charles W. Hedrick and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since The Renaissance of the fourteenth through seventeenth centuries, and particularly since the Enlightenment of the eighteenth century, the ancient creeds of faith have been under serious fire, and the struggle has not gone well for popular religion in America. The rapid advances made by the physical sciences in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and the corresponding reliance on scientific accomplishments in American life have been matched by the growing influence of reason in the way Americans think about religion. Except for pockets of resistance, these developments have negatively influenced the practical role of traditional religion in American life. These essaysùpublished over a twenty-year period as newspaper editorials addressed to the general publicùconfront popular beliefs and morals with the challenge of human reason. At issue in this meeting of faith and reason is nothing less than the nature of religion in the twenty-first century. Will faith embrace reason to create a House where both dwell in harmony or will faith ignore the claims of reason and continue to live in an Enchanted Forest? Each essay, written in the practical language of the streets, attempts to dialogue with the general reader and gently provoke critical thinking on sensitive issues of belief. "Charles Hedrick is a scholar who has come clean. From the 'buckle on the Bible Belt' comes this honest, intelligent, and creative reflection on the struggle between reason (and/or science) and personal faith. Charlie's reminder to take our personal absolute truths (house of faith) a little less seriously and enjoy the diversity of thought and experience (enchanted forest) is practical, powerful, and incredibly timely."-Glenna S. Jackson, Professor, Department of Religion and Philosophy at Otterbein College "House of Faith or Enchanted Forest? is a personal and lively journey along the path of faith and doubt. Charles Hedrick poses deep questions that for centuries have haunted philosophers, historians, and theologians alike. This book awakens and celebrates critical thinking yet remains warmly accessible and resolutely honest. Anyone who wishes to re-think life's great questions in light of the changing face of Christianity will find joy in reading this book. Here is an excellent resource for discussion groups, book clubs, and inquiring individuals."-David Galston, Director of the Eternal Spring learning Centre, Hamilton, Ontario "Charlie Hedrick asks a lot of questions in this provocative collection of short essays. One specific question that, perhaps, sums up the others, 'Can a critical thinker also be a person of traditional religious faith?' Spanning a wide range of topics, Hedrick offers readers challenging questions to ponder, rather than easy answers to swallow. Yet, by pondering such questions, careful readers will find themselves closer to honest answers than they were before they read this helpful book."-J. Bradley Chance, Professor and Chair, Department of Religion, William Jewell College

Book Synopsis Religious Belief by : James Kellenberger
Download or read book Religious Belief written by James Kellenberger and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the different forms that religious belief can take. Two primary forms are discussed: propositional or doctrinal belief, and belief in God. Religious belief in God, whose affective content is trust in God, it is seen, opens for believers a relationship to God defined by trust in God. The book addresses the issue of the relation between belief and faith, the issue of what Søren Kierkegaard called the subjectivity of faith, and the issue of the relation between religious belief and religious experience. After the introductory chapter the book continues with a chapter in which features and forms of belief allowed by the general concept of belief are presented. Several of these forms and features are related to the features of religious belief examined in succeeding chapters. The book's final chapter examines God-relationships in the Christian tradition that de-emphasize belief and are not defined by belief.

Book Synopsis Masters of Belief by : Felipe Zimmer
Download or read book Masters of Belief written by Felipe Zimmer and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine taking all the distractions away: technology, your job, your car, your books, and even the people you meet daily. Picture all of them temporarily out of your life. Don’t worry, they’ll be back. But imagine living without distraction for several months. What would you come across? Perhaps, you would rediscover your beliefs, feelings, and needs––things of which you were not conscious due to life distractions. That is what author and speaker Felipe Zimmer did when he retreated to a house in the thick of nature in an effort to discover himself on a deeper level and rediscover humanity as a whole. By looking at existence from beyond the mental meanderings of daily life, Felipe’s consciousness expanded, and he was struck by inspiration not of this world but from what is beyond. As an analogy, what if we thought Earth was all there is? Then what if we received the opportunity to visit the rest of the universe? Masters of Belief is that universe as we look beyond the every day to make contact with a higher power. Exploring subjects like spirituality, mind, life, death, relationships, and much more, this book won’t tell you what to believe, but it might help you understand your own beliefs and guide you through the process of remembering who you are.
Book Synopsis The Spontaneous Healing of Belief by : Gregg Braden
Download or read book The Spontaneous Healing of Belief written by Gregg Braden and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of The Divine Matrix and Resilience from the Heart What would it mean to discover that everything from the DNA of life, to the future of our world, is based upon a simple Reality Code—one that we can change and upgrade by choice? New revelations in physics and biology suggest that we’re about to find out! A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that our universe works like a Consciousness Computer. Rather than the number codes of typical software, our Consciousness Computer uses a language that we all have, yet are only beginning to understand. Life’s reality code is based in the language of human emotion and focused belief. Knowing that belief is our reality-maker, the way we think of ourselves and our world is now more important than ever! For us to change the beliefs that have led to war, disease, and the failed careers and relationships of our past we need a reason to see things differently. Our ancestors used miracles to change what they believed. Today we use science. The Spontaneous Healing of Belief offers us both: the miracles that open the door to a powerful new way of seeing the world, and the science that tells us why the miracles are possible, revealing: why we are not limited by the "laws" of physics and biology as we know them today. Once we become aware of the paradigm-shattering discoveries and true-life miracles, we must think of ourselves differently. And that difference is where the spontaneous healing of belief begins.

Book Synopsis The Norm of Belief by : John Gibbons
Download or read book The Norm of Belief written by John Gibbons and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Gibbons presents an original account of epistemic normativity. Belief seems to come with a built-in set of standards or norms. One task is to say where these standards come from. But the more basic task is to say what those standards are. In some sense, beliefs are supposed to be true. Perhaps they're supposed to constitute knowledge. And in some sense, they really ought to be reasonable. Which, if any of these is the fundamental norm of belief? The Norm of Belief argues against the teleological or instrumentalist conception of rationality that sees being reasonable as a means to our more objective aims, either knowledge or truth. And it tries to explain both the norms of knowledge and of truth in terms of the fundamental norm, the one that tells you to be reasonable. But the importance of being reasonable is not explained in terms of what it will get you, or what you think it will get you, or what it would get you if only things were different. The requirement to be reasonable comes from the very idea of what a genuine requirement is. That is where the built-in standards governing belief come from, and that is what they are.

Download or read book Mind and Belief V written by Eugene Breen and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-08-12 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the latest in the series The Human Mind and Belief. It is akin to an impressionist painting with ideas scattered all over the text, much like the artist daubs brushes of varying colors on the canvas. The image comes to light from a distance and forms a deep impression. The basic theme is that in order to get a life, you gotta believe. It discusses work and music and the human mind, among other topics, and peers at the deeper meaning of these realities. It is a playful teasing of man, much like a cat plays with a mouse before devouring him! By leading man on a merry dance through some of his interests, and by distracting him with his own things, the clinical eye of the writer and reader observe man when he thinks no one is looking and so reveals himself in his true colors. What you see is in the eye of the beholder and many poor uneducated blind people see the truth of life when thus confronted by man in his underwear, whereas many educated intelligent clear-sighted people do not.

Book Synopsis Beauty Awakening Belief by : Jon M. Sweeney
Download or read book Beauty Awakening Belief written by Jon M. Sweeney and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2009 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What once drove men to construct enormous abbeys and cathedrals, with gargoyles, rounded arches, rose windows, dark recesses, and flying buttresses? In the modern imagination, these structures are believed to tell a series of stories about the meaning of life, but this anachronism would have astounded their medieval creators. As he explores two of the finest churches of this period - the Abbey of Mont St- Michel on the Normandy coast, and soaring Chartres Cathedral in the fields of the Loire Valley - author Jon Sweeney comes to the conclusion that, without faith, they make no sense at all. But within a life of faith, the universe that includes them is marvelous, beautiful, mysterious, and tapped into something that secularism cannot fathom. This luminous series of reflections hinges on seven words of Gothic spirituality -- space, sanctuary, stone, light, darkness, gargoyles, and flight and shows us that beauty is not just for admiring, but a key to believing, and reveals how the vision of our medieval forebears can refresh and inspire our faith today.
