A Faith of Our Own
Author: Jonathan Merritt
Publisher: Hachette UK
ISBN: 1455519278
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Every day, major headlines tell the story of how Christianity is attempting to influence American culture and politics. But statistics show that young Americans are disenchanted with a faith that has become culturally antagonistic and too closely aligned with partisan politics. In this personal yet practical work, Jonathan Merritt uncovers the changing face of American Christianity by uniquely examining the coming of age of a new generation of Christians. Jonathan Merritt illuminates the spiritual ethos of this new generation of believers who engage the world with Christ-centered faith but an un-polarized political perspective. Through personal stories and biblically rooted commentary this scion of a leading evangelical family takes a close, thoughtful look at the changing religious and political environment, addressing such divisive issues as abortion, gay marriage, environmental use and care, race, war, poverty, and the imbalance of world wealth. Through Scripture, the examples of Jesus, and personal defining faith experiences, he distills the essential truths at the core of a Christian faith that is now just coming of age.

Shrewd Samaritan
Author: Bruce Wydick
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 0785221530
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Learn to live the message of the Good Samaritan and make a global impact, using the resources already at your disposal. If there were a popularity contest among all the parables of Jesus, the Good Samaritan would probably win. Nobody is against the Good Samaritan because being against the Good Samaritan is like being against Mother Theresa or Oskar Schindler or the firefighters who ran into the World Trade Center. In that same popularity contest, the Shrewd Manager would probably finish last. The Shrewd Manager is lazy, deceitful, and double-crossing. Yet in this alluringly freakish parable, Jesus actually holds up the Shrewd Manager as an example, as he does with the Good Samaritan. This book is about learning to live the message of the Good Samaritan in the context of the globalized world of the twenty-first century. This means learning to love our global neighbor wisely by harnessing the resources at our disposal—our time, talents, opportunities, and money—on behalf of those who are victims of injustice, disease, violence, and poverty. The early disciples were pretty clueless about worldly resources such as time, talent, and money—and unfortunately today we still don’t really get it. There are too many kind, well-intentioned twenty-first-century people with indisputably good intentions but whose impact on the needy is hampered by their inability to diagnose problems properly, harness the resources available to them to solve the right problems, and understand cause-and-effect relationships. Shrewd Samaritan will help develop a framework to better love and care for our neighbors in an age of globalization, when the people in our neighborhoods, or at least those in our potential sphere of influence, has expanded dramatically. Increasingly it will become our global neighbor who takes us out of our comfort zone and challenges us with the needs of a broken world.

Loving from Your Soul
Author: Shepherd Hoodwin
Publisher: Summerjoy Michael Book
ISBN: 9781885469021
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
People everywhere are looking for a higher perspective on love than the popular view of romance. Loving from Your Soul - Creating Powerful Relationships," an inspiring and unusual book by Shepherd Hoodwin, goes to the core of the issue by exploring the nature of love itself. It is a collection of discourses and counseling Hoodwin channeled from the Michael entity that views love as an eternal reality not dependent on other people or situations - it is something we can learn to access all the time through connecting directly with our soul. Michael is well-known to readers of metaphysical books. There are several Michael books in print, from the work of various channels, and most of them deal with a technical body of information called the Michael teachings. However, Loving from Your Soul is not a technical book. It deals with topics such as sexuality, anger, body image, loneliness, boundaries, listening, friendship, finding a mate, and alternative lifestyles. These subjects are framed within a larger context of explorations such as "Loving Yourself," "Being at Your Source," "Different Ways of Loving," "Oneness," "Communicating Your Whole Being," and "Expanding Love." According to Loving from Your Soul, "Love is a unified experience that does not cut off any portion of your reality. When you are loving yourself, you are loving others. When you are loving others, you are loving yourself. When you are having joy in what you are doing, you are giving joy to the world - there is no separation between you and the world." "What does it mean to love and to be loved? People everywhere are seeking a higher perspective than the popular view of romance. This outstanding book goes to the core of the issue by illuminating the nature of love itself as a reality that is always available. Topics include sexuality, anger, body image, loneliness, boundaries, listening, and finding a mate, framed within a larger context. With vibrant clarity, it will have a resounding impact on the way we look at love from now on." -Sheila Andersen, Leading Edge Review "This book positively radiates love. There is genuine wisdom here." -Key Carey, author of The Starseed Transmissions Loving from Your Soul is quite beautiful. Michael comes through loud and clear. I'm delighted that Michael is around." -Ram Dass, author of How Can I Help? and Be Here Now "This is channeling at its best. Loving from Your Soul is more than just excellent-it captures a lovely combination of compassion and intellectual clarity." -John Friedlander, author of Psychic Psychology "Loving from Your Soul is superb and brings great joy. It touches the profound depths of who we are. It is far and away the best book on love I have ever read, exploring how we can love from the deepest and strongest part of ourselves. I experienced tears of recognition as I read it." -Mayo Gray, author of The Savage Season "The truths emerge powerfully in this loving, compassionate material. A wonderful experience." -Catalyst

Loving Literature
Author: Deidre Shauna Lynch
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022618384X
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 335
Book Description
One of the most common—and wounding—misconceptions about literary scholars today is that they simply don’t love books. While those actually working in literary studies can easily refute this claim, such a response risks obscuring a more fundamental question: why should they? That question led Deidre Shauna Lynch into the historical and cultural investigation of Loving Literature. How did it come to be that professional literary scholars are expected not just to study, but to love literature, and to inculcate that love in generations of students? What Lynch discovers is that books, and the attachments we form to them, have played a vital role in the formation of private life—that the love of literature, in other words, is deeply embedded in the history of literature. Yet at the same time, our love is neither self-evident nor ahistorical: our views of books as objects of affection have clear roots in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century publishing, reading habits, and domestic history. While never denying the very real feelings that warm our relationship to books, Loving Literature nonetheless serves as a riposte to those who use the phrase “the love of literature” as if its meaning were transparent. Lynch writes, “It is as if those on the side of love of literature had forgotten what literary texts themselves say about love’s edginess and complexities.” With this masterly volume, Lynch restores those edges and allows us to revel in those complexities.
