Book Description
Some books just analyze and separate. This one synthesizes and puts back together things that never should have been separated--while fully recognizing the busyness and endless options of our lives. Trust Kevin Goodrich to be a solid and very creative spiritual guide! Fr. Richard Rohr, O.F.M. Center for Action and Contemplation Albuquerque, New Mexico Canon Goodrich offers in Cell Phone Spirituality a simple, yet not simplistic, primer on the Christian spiritual life. His creative approach applies incarnational theological insights to the circumstances of everyday life. Those interested in promoting the ministry of the laity in the world and the concept of discipleship will find it a useful tool. The Rt. Rev. Michael G. Smith Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of North Dakota Through Father Goodrich’s eyes, I could see how items such as cell phones that I have found as distractions can be seen as means of connecting us both to each other and to God. Cell Phone Spirituality rings true to me as it offers practical suggestions on how one can talk to God in our 24/7 techno savvy culture. Becky Garrison Senior Contributing Editor, The Wittenburg Door I found Cell Phone Spirituality to be a fun read with a modern twist on how to stay connected to your spirituality and to God, especially in our fast paced world! I really like how Goodrich designed the book to be used for personal growth, or for small group discussions. Can’t wait to share it! Stacey Reid Busy Mother of Five A book for anyone who wants to grow spiritually and become closer to God.

Everything Is Spiritual

Publisher: St. Martin's Essentials

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
"An exciting vision of the future" --Michael Eric Dyson Everything Is Spiritual is an unexpected and compelling invitation to see your life in a whole new way. We have the great moments of our lives, the highs, those times when we soar, when it all makes sense, when it feels like it all has purpose and meaning. And then there are all those other moments—the lows and aches and failures and struggles and experiences that leave us wondering what the point of it all is. Are our lives ultimately bits and pieces and fragments—you try to find a little peace and hope and then it’s over? Or is there more going on here? In our increasingly polarized and disoriented world, Everything Is Spiritual gives us a radical new take on how it all fits together, how it works, how it’s all connected. Part memoir, part extended riff on the quantum nature of reality, part history of the universe, Rob Bell takes us back through the twists and turns and struggles of his story in order to help us see the larger story so that we can reconnect with our story.

Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
Can you live a spiritual life in a hyperconnected world? “Technology is part of what defines us; it’s part of what makes us human. More than that, the technologies we adopt affect the very type of humans we become. The tools we choose to use and how we use them affect how we think, how we make decisions, how we relate to one another, how we construct knowledge, even how we think about God.” —from the Introduction Every day, new technologies affect your life at home, at work and at play. But how often do you pause to consider how your computer, mp3 player, cell phone, or PDA influence your spiritual life—your beliefs, your faith, your fundamental understanding of God? With wit and verve, Stephen Spyker leads you on a lively journey through the many ways technology impacts how we think about faith and how we practice it. He explores the role of new spiritual communities, the personal relationships we have with our gadgets, our changing expectations, helping you to think about the many, often subtle, ways technology has seeped into every aspect of our lives and changed the way we “do” faith. Can online churches replace traditional houses of worship? Will my iPod give me peace of mind? Is technological convenience undermining our ability to create community and make commitments? Whether a technophile or technophobe, no matter your faith or background, this book will entertain and challenge you while encouraging you to take a fresh look at spirituality in our modern world.

The Power of Now
Author: Eckhart Tolle
Publisher: New World Library
ISBN: 1577313119
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
Celebrating 25 Years as a New York Times Bestseller — Over 16 Million Copies Sold It’s no wonder that The Power of Now has sold over 16 million copies worldwide and has been translated into over 30 foreign languages. Much more than simple principles and platitudes, the book takes readers on an inspiring spiritual journey to find their true and deepest self and reach the ultimate in personal growth and spirituality: the discovery of truth and light. In the first chapter, Tolle introduces readers to enlightenment and its natural enemy, the mind. He awakens readers to their role as a creator of pain and shows them how to have a pain-free identity by living fully in the present. The journey is thrilling, and along the way, the author shows how to connect to the indestructible essence of our Being, “the eternal, ever-present One Life beyond the myriad forms of life that are subject to birth and death.” Featuring a new preface by the author, this paperback shows that only after regaining awareness of Being, liberated from Mind and intensely in the Now, is there Enlightenment.

Finding Our Way Home
Author: Myke Johnson
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1365566862
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
In this time of ecological crisis, all that is holy calls us into a more intimate partnership with the diverse and beautiful beings of this earth. In Finding Our Way Home, Myke Johnson reflects on her personal journey into such a partnership and offers a guide for others to begin this path. Lyrically expressed, it weaves together lessons from a chamomile flower, a small bird, a copper beech tree, a garden slug, and a forest fern, along with insights from Indigenous philosophy, environmental science, fractal geometry, childhood Catholic mysticism, the prophet Elijah, fairy tales, and permaculture design. This eco-spiritual journey also wrestles with the history of our society's destruction of the natural world, and its roots in the original theft of the land from Indigenous peoples. Exploring the spiritual dimensions of our brokenness, it offers tools to create healing. Finding Our Way Home is a ceremony to remember our essential unity with all of life.
