Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MOST OF US HAVE LIMITED SPIRITUAL VISION - and don't even know it! - With two trillion galaxies in an expanding universe, how could it be that only the Christians are "saved?" - Traditional religious symbols are losing power in a changing world (Most people don't even know they are supposed to be symbols) - Our rational minds keep wanting to question but conventional religious leaders tell us to just "trust" them (or trust scripture, or tradition) - Despite declining church attendance, interest in the spiritual search is at an all-time high. New ways of making meaning are arising. - A study of all religions reveals a common core - a longing shared by all humans. Could this be the basis of the spiritual search? - In the 21st century we need a BIGGER STORY of what religion and spirituality are all about. Our traditional scriptures were written in a time when people had no idea of the vastness of the universe. The spiritual messages they were able to receive suffered from lack of awareness about science and about wisdom from other cultures: their worldview was insular. Today educated people have little excuse for maintaining this kind of insularity. Advances in science and global communications call us to develop a more comprehensive (less myopic) perspective about the UNIVERSAL human search for meaning and connection that formed the basis for ALL our religions. In Overcoming Spiritual Myopia, practicing optometrist and award-winning author, Margaret Placentra Johnston* challenges you on a journey toward a BIGGER STORY about religion and spirituality.

Book Synopsis Become Conscious of Wholeness by : Edwin E. Olson
Download or read book Become Conscious of Wholeness written by Edwin E. Olson and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-11-30 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can we transcend our tribal, philosophical, and religious differences? Is it possible to develop a global consciousness to resolve the peril to our biosphere and other human-made existential crises? Become Conscious of Wholeness: Humanity’s Only Future explores how connecting human consciousness with Universal Consciousness will give individuals and societies a sense of being complete, not fragmented. Accessing Universal Consciousness, the fundamental wisdom, intelligence, and love in the Universe, will align their identity and purpose and free them from limiting beliefs and fears. Universal Consciousness is the organizing, unifying force, beyond space and time, filled with the creative potential from which our diverse philosophies, religions, and primordial traditions emerged. When Consciousness is understood from multiple scientific, spiritual, psychological, and mystical perspectives, what is of ultimate value becomes clear—our relationships with each other and the Earth, our essential Wholeness. The reader will explore various portals to Universal Consciousness, drawing upon their own mystical and spiritual experience to develop a more holistic Self. Specific action steps are also presented to reframe religion, reimagine education and mental wellbeing, and reform the business organizations, government agencies, and divisive politics that perpetuate a fragmented view of reality.

Book Synopsis Faith Beyond Belief by : Margaret Placentra Johnston
Download or read book Faith Beyond Belief written by Margaret Placentra Johnston and published by Quest Books. This book was released on 2012-09-25 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Faith Beyond Belief gives a much-needed voice to the “good” people who have left their church but whose spirituality continues to mature. Johnston uses first-person stories as well as known spiritual authorities in describing various stages of religious growth. Some of these real-life accounts are by nonbelievers; others are by those among the growing numbers of the “spiritual but not religious.” All are thoughtful people with too much integrity to live what they consider a lie. The stories of the nonbelievers-including an ex-Catholic, a former Mormon, and a clandestine Muslim apostate who left his community after the attacks of 9/11-show how complete confidence in human reason can lead away from literal religious interpretation. But, while that step is a necessary one on the spiritual path, it is only intermediate. Her second set of stories are of people at the “mystic” level who can tolerate paradox and see truth and reality as multidimensional. Johnston’s book will help doubters to see things in a new light as well as those who are struggling to clarify their own spiritual vision. It also points beyond the atheist/believer controversy wrecking such divisive havoc in our culture today.

Book Synopsis Daily Devotions: to Obtain an Overcoming Life by : Joyce Tracy
Download or read book Daily Devotions: to Obtain an Overcoming Life written by Joyce Tracy and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2012-11-16 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To Obtain an Overcoming Life is a series of devotions on how to overcome the negative traits and behaviors in our life such as; fear, pride, temptation, finding fault, jealousy, making excuses, rebellion and self, or selfishness. These are very important and valuable as they teach us how to obtain the power to live a victorious life in Christ Jesus. It begins with self for unless we can overcome self we wont be able to overcome other negative traits, as all hinge on self. There are devotions on making right choices and how to set goals and priorities; about attitudes and faith, having a continuous praise in our heart to the Lord and how to obtain our final reward in heaven thus the Road to Eternal Life. As we strive for the Kingdom, we have mountains to climb and valleys to cross, were faced with hills and barriers, and each step has a new name. They are there to keep us out of Heavens territory. We must over - come and step over; failures and past failures, handicaps of every kind, peer pressure, fear, anger, and defeat. Approximately two-thirds of Jesus teachings were in parables. A parable is an earthly story with a spiritual or heavenly meaning, teaching Christian morals, principles and values. Many of these devotions will be based on some of these parables.

Book excerpt: Meet a man forced to live in a fast changing and godless society. He faced fears about the future, concern for his safety, and the discouragement of world that seemed to be falling apart at warp speed. Sound familiar? His name was Daniel, and with the power of hope, humility, and wisdom, he not only thrived, he changed an empire while he was at it. Though he lived thousands of years ago, he has a much to teach us today. Even in Babylon, God Is in Control In Thriving in Babylon, Larry Osborne explores the “adult” story of Daniel to help us not only survive – but actually thrive in an increasingly godless culture. Here Pastor Osborne looks at: - Why panic and despair are never from God- What true optimism looks like- How humility disarms even our greatest of enemies- Why respect causes even those who will have nothing to do with God to listen- How wisdom can snatch victory out of the jaws of defeat For those who know Jesus and understand the full implications of the cross, the resurrection, and the promises of Jesus, everything changes – not only in us, but also in our world.
Book Synopsis Seeing and Believing by : Stuart C. Devenish
Download or read book Seeing and Believing written by Stuart C. Devenish and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-05-23 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a cinematic culture where multiple visions of reality "play" at the same time, it is critical that Christian believers know how to confidently identify and "discern," among other stories, the Jesus-story that defines their most important commitment in life. Using the optical metaphor of the "eye of faith," the author identifies the spiritual life as a "visual life." Through themes such as "looking through Jesus' eyes," the bible as a "visionary text," and the church as a "wide-eyed people," he builds a connecting bridge between the seeing-soul in Christian spirituality, and the twenty-first century as the "age of the eye." The key words for this exploration are spirituality, discipleship, insight, luminescence, and optical "therapy." The author proposes the need for a "catechism of the eye" that will lead to the renewal of Christian ministry, spirituality, discipleship, and identity.

Book Synopsis Earthly Stories with Spiritual Meaning by : Danny Dodson
Download or read book Earthly Stories with Spiritual Meaning written by Danny Dodson and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-09-18 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the primary teaching methods of Jesus, the master teacher, was His use of parables. Jesus' parables were simply short stories that were true to life and taught valuable spiritual truths to His listeners. Similar to how Jesus used parables, this book uses nostalgic and often humorous events from the author's own life to illustrate and explain some valuable spiritual truths from the Holy Scripture. If we are paying attention, life events can certainly teach us a whole lot about our omnipotent God. Then if we will allow God to communicate with us through his Holy Scripture, we will learn all we need to know about how to live an abundant life now and prepare for eternal life in the world to come. The author has done his share of preaching over the last fifty years. Yet much more often than not, he has been the one in the pew gleaning valuable knowledge from preachers and teachers. And when you add his secular engineering background and love of humor, this mixture of experiences has given the author a unique perspective on the truth in God's Word, which will be evident in this book. His stated purpose for writing this book is both to entertain and spiritually uplift his readers. He is hopeful that it will increase the faith of his readers and inspire them to live holy lives as we wait anxiously for our Lord's return.
Book Synopsis Overcoming the See-Saw of Wisdom Against Fear by : SHON S. LEWIS
Download or read book Overcoming the See-Saw of Wisdom Against Fear written by SHON S. LEWIS and published by . This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am so thankful that at almost forty years young, God gave me His revelation and a spiritual treasure about wisdom and began to teach me in my personal relationship with Him, how to understand the difference of living in His wisdom and not tolerating fear. Because the most common similarity wisdom and fear have is the action of apprehension or caution in decision-making in order to grow in life. Soon after, I was inspired and received an urgent call from God to log in my journal my learning experiences about how God's wisdom began giving me understanding, power, and healing to resist the seesaw of fear by using God's wisdom as a Spiritual compass to help me make wise and righteous decisions in my daily Christian life. As an author, I truly understand the emotional battle one can experience when needing healing from living in fear because of negative experiences from ungodly people and negative experiences in the world. Whether one is a new Christian or has been a Christian (living for God through Jesus and the Holy Spirit), this beautiful lifestyle with God is a continuous journey of learning how to live in God's love through challenging times while resisting evil and treating others kindly and making better choices in life to live a spiritually and physically healthy life on this earth until we go back home to heaven to live with God for eternity one day. I pray that my readers learn God's wisdom (His supernatural intelligence) for their practical living and for them to apply the ways to conquer the seesaw of fear through their learning of my experiences and growing in the Lord. Realize that I am still growing and continuing to be blessed in my relationship with God by using this powerful principle of God's kingdom, wisdom! Indeed, let your soul be refreshed in reading this anointed word of God in Jesus's name!
