Kaleidoscope
Author: Ineda Pearl Adesanya
Publisher: Church Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1640651659
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
A comprehensive resource for understanding the various components of spiritual direction. Early mystics of the Near East and northern Africa created the monastic traditions and were the first psychologists, exploring various practices to test the human capacity. In medieval times, spiritual direction was common in the Roman Catholic monastic traditions. It extended significantly into Protestant Christianity in the late twentieth century by predominantly white and affluent organizations. Spiritual direction has progressively become a global, multi-religious and interfaith practice. This book is a comprehensive and concise text from a spiritual director of color, offering inclusive resources and tools to spiritual directors of many faiths and for people of diverse cultures and traditions. Core skills such a deep listening, hospitality, and discernment are presented with cutting-edge lessons on internal liberation, systemic trauma, and imaginative discovery. Spiritual direction is taught by more than 100 educational institutions and spirituality centers in the US alone, but typical curriculum generally does not reflect current cultural reality and growing diversity. This is a textbook for anyone who studies spiritual direction as both preparation for and deepening of their calling.

Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success
Author: Lennox Cornwall
Publisher: One Truth Publishing
ISBN: 0999406701
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success shows how failure is truly an opportunity, and not the final nail in your coffin of hope. In this new perspective, the analysis of what constitutes success aligns perfectly with Earl Nightingale's proposition that success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. Using this truer, more worthwhile meaning for failure allows you to pursue success to its limits. The author acknowledges that there is nothing new to creating success: a worthy ideal, vision, plans, hard work, building an effective team, persistence and character are certainly still required, and Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success is explicit about these. But, like the golfer who changes his grip before winning a dearly sought after first Major championship, sometimes you need to see things a little differently to finally make that yearned for breakthrough to your own success. Herein lies the true value of the material contained in Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success. Supporting the empowering acronym—failure as a Fruitful And Informative Lesson Urging Renewed Effort—the author cleverly uses illustrations and his own poetry before each chapter. These make for an enlightening preview of the coming chapter. The effect on your attention is as much entertaining as it is illuminating, ensuring you get the chapter’s intended message.

Standing in the Gap
Author: Gladys Blews Wilson
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1449721060
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
All my life, God, the Father, was standing in the gap created when my biological father gave up his quest to be reconciled with my mother. However, I didnt realize God was there for me until I was almost forty years old. At that time, I discovered a new reality of His presence when cancer invaded our family, a frenzied teenager tried to kill our daughter, Val, our best friend was brutally murdered, and we discovered a psychopath stalking our daughter, Robin. I believe the key to this new reality was starting each day by reading the Bible and making notes about what I thought God was saying to me. Through this process I worked through my rebellion against a God who wanted to start the on-going process of transforming my life into the image of His son, Jesus Christ. He waited patiently for me to open the door of my heart to His Lordship. Are you entirely satisfied with your life or do you question the reality of you faith in the cruicible of trials? Have you wondered if life is fair or questioned why a loving God would allow pain and suffering? Standing in the Gap will show you that God the Father is standing at the door of your heart right now. He will never force His way in. My prayer is that this book may empower you to make the most important decision of your life a decision to open the door. www.betweenthesacredandthecommon.com
