Almost Home
Author: Roy J. Greenberg
Publisher: Tate Publishing
ISBN: 1613462808
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Is there anything more we can do? Is entry into God's world possible? Is conscious contact with God Himself possible? Is our world but a shadow of the world as God would have it be? We all ask these questions on our spiritual journey. Most of us seek things that promote our wellbeing. We want to love; and we want to be loved. We want to be appreciated. We want to be safe. We want to be free from worry and other turmoil. We want to be content. To these ends we devote our lives. To these ends we devote our prayers. Fortunately, a creator is never far from his creation. Deep inside, many people have asked why it has to be this way. Maybe it doesn't. Maybe we are Almost Home after all.

Ambassadors of God
Author: Amanda W. Daloisio
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 149823951X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
In a world I won't see, but I wish I would, the biographies of some others here, including a few whom we serve lunch to, would be written and be read as eagerly as you say one of me would be read. --Dorothy Day Ambassadors of God is a collection of remarkable obituaries taken from The Catholic Worker newspaper. Rich in anecdote, detail, and unexpected humor, they tell stories of men and women, living in poverty and distress, who were part of the New York Catholic Worker community. Written between 1936 and 2012, these essays shed light on people who might otherwise have been forgotten, but whose lives had a great impact on those who knew them and loved them. The Catholic Worker and the movement that grew out of it were founded by Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin. As Catholics, they sought to live out the Works of Mercy, following the Gospel and the example of the saints. Even years after their deaths, the movement continues to welcome the poor and the stranger in a spirit of nonviolence. These obituaries honor those who came to the doors of The Catholic Worker in great need, and they offer a meditation on our shared humanity.

For the Faith
Author: Jeff W. Manship
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1490743359
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 569
Book Description
What will a man dowhat crimes will he commit and what sacrifices will be makefor his faith? Is the radicalism of modern-day mullahs and their followers far removed from the strange fanaticism found in our own Christian heritage, perhaps lying dormant within our own family histories? Alan McMurdie confronts these questions when his only son commits suicide, and he is left holding the broken pieces of a family that is torn asunder by tragedies that transcend generations of faithful Mormon ancestors. A young boy conceals his baptism from a stepfather who despises all religions. Later, as a young man, he discovers a fortune in uranium in the deserts of Southeastern Utah and makes a bold decision to abandon it all for the glory of serving God. As a missionary in the Southern United States, he witnesses firsthand the heartache and the tragedy that sometimes follow those who choose faith over false traditions. Two generations later, another young boy will experience the nightmare of being sexually molested at a Boy Scout camp and later will have to confront the awful truth of his own sexuality, an immutable reality that places him at odds with the strict teachings of his Mormon faith. And an even darker secret lies buried within the familys history: a terrible secret from the distant past of an ancestor involved in one of the most shocking and sordid crimes of the nineteenth centurya crime made more hideous because it was driven by obsessive, fanatical faith. Throughout five generations, the McMurdie family has carried the burden that an overzealous faith sometimes places on its adherents. From triumphs of the human spirit to the very depths of delusion and despair, they have given all, suffered all, and witnessed allfor the faith.
