Mercy in the City
Author: Kerry Weber
Publisher: Loyola Press
ISBN: 0829438939
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 143
Book Description
When Jesus asked us to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, and visit the imprisoned, he didn’t mean it literally, right? Kerry Weber, a modern, young, single woman in New York City sets out to see if she can practice the Corporal Works of Mercy in an authentic, personal, meaningful manner while maintaining a full, robust, regular life. Weber, a lay Catholic, explores the Works of Mercy in the real world, with a gut-level honesty and transparency that people of urban, country, and suburban locales alike can relate to. Mercy in the City is for anyone who is struggling to live in a meaningful, merciful way amid the pressures of “real life.” For those who feel they are already overscheduled and too busy, for those who assume that they are not “religious enough” to practice the Works of Mercy, for those who worry that they are alone in their efforts to live an authentic life, Mercy in the City proves that by living as people for others, we learn to connect as people of faith.

For Life Is a Journey
Author: Ralph G. McFadden
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1426927908
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
Ralph McFadden was married and raised two children. But in the mid-1990s, he decided that living with integrity meant living authentically, "coming out" as the gay man he was. In For Life is a Journey, author McFadden, a former pastor, denominational executive, and hospice chaplain, explores his own journey as he confronts the church's blindness to the damaging injustice of homophobia. For Life is a Journey includes McFadden's reflections about claiming his identity as a gay man and "surfacing his soul." He is honest about the depth of grief and anger that accompanied the changes he was forced to make in terms of work, his marriage, family, and friends. Through stories, poems and reflections, he discusses the sense of betrayal and abandonment that he experienced when the church that had so profoundly shaped his commitments to peace, reconciliation, and justice, now rejected him. McFadden explores his concerns on social issues that affect people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. He also recognizes the internal changes that have occurred as a result of his journey toward authenticity and truth. From the struggling, the discovering, and the exploring came renewal and rebirth.

Transcending Worry
Author: John Bloor
Publisher: Grosvenor House Publishing
ISBN: 1803816287
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
Can we transcend worry? How do we find contentment? Is it possible to stand firm when the world around us seems so uncertain? Can we still find hope in God's written word? Transcending Worry takes us on a journey of reflection through some verses from the book of Philippians 4 1-13. Familiar and much loved these wonderful verses written by St Paul to the Church in Philippi give us a lot to think and contemplate: "Do not be anxious about anything...... I have learnt to be content in all circumstances..... stand firm ........". How can these verses help us today? John Bloor, a licensed Reader and preacher in the Church of England, a Christian for over 50 years, a confessed worrier, writes having experienced a "light bulb" moment whilst listening to a talk in church on these particular verses. Inspired and written in a time of great anxiety and worry as Coronavirus swept throughout the world. John very much believed he was called by God to write and share these insights and thoughts with others. Taking several years to complete, consideration is given through personal stories, painful times and life experiences. We are transported to Paris; The Louvre Gallery - a Rembrandt painting, the Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame Church to help us contemplate and provide thought provoking questions. The book includes contributions, stories and life experiences from Saju Muthalaly, Bishop of Loughborough and other friends and church family members that very much informed John's thinking and writing. We are called to serve our faithful and loving God. What does this mean? A closer look at the Rembrandt painting, The Supper at Emmaus, we are challenged to think and reflect on what we might bring to the table.
