Daily reading of the Bible is something many people want to do, but find that they do not know how to develop and continue this practice. The Upper Room Disciplines 2005 offers daily Bible readings that help develop the practice of spending deep devotional time with scripture. The daily scriptural meditations include suggestions for prayer and reflection that help readers open themselves to God's love and guidance. The Upper Room Disciplines offers a variety of perspectives on daily Bible readings selected from the Revised Common Lectionary. Each of the 53 writers develops a particular theme for a week's reading. Each writer's work begins on Monday and continues through Sunday. Over the course of that week, readers gain depth insights into scripture and daily life and grow through the daily practice of reading the Bible. Individual readers will grow in their Christian walk through Disciplines, and small groups will discover wisdom to continue to walk together as responsible disciples of Christ.

Journey with Grief
Author: Larry Warner
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780998218601
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
2019 Illumination Book Awards Bronze Medal Winner. In this small but powerful book, Larry Warner, author of Journey with Jesus, thoughtfully and sacrificially opens his soul, gently bringing the reader along on a journey through grief. His story is unique to him, but many of the emotions he suffered and the insights he gained are universal. This book is divided into two sections: a helpful comfort for the grieving, and a guide for those who choose to travel with them. Part One is an explicit, honest description of the abyss that is grief. This section helps to normalize the unprecedented and unpredictable behaviors of grief, encouraging freedom and honesty in the processing of the pain, and offering timely glimmers of hope. Part Two is a straight-forward manual for walking with someone through the abyss: simple, sensible and direct. The role of comforter is not to be taken on lightly; the journey is often long and difficult, but the ministry of presence is profoundly meaningful. This book gives people permission to grieve as they can and as they must while also equipping others to come alongside those who are hurting in ways that promote healing. This is a book for those who are suffering loss and for those who desire to be a help to those walking through their first year of grief.

An Educated Man
Author: David Rosenberg
Publisher: Catapult
ISBN: 1582437289
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 273
Book Description
A magisterial project: a dual biography of the preeminent figures of Judeo–Christian civilization overturning conventional views of Moses and Jesus as humble men of faith. By reanimating the biographies of Moses and Jesus in their historical context, Rosenberg reads their narrative as a cultural—rather than religious—endeavor. He charges that Moses and Jesus were "educated" men, steeped in the literature and scholarship of their day. There were no old or new testaments for them, only a long history of writing and writers. When scholars and clergy quote Moses and Jesus, they routinely neglect to inform us that Jesus is quoting the Hebrew Bible, often in the manner that Moses quoted Egyptian medical texts. The remarkable ability of both men to recall and transform a wide range of sources is overlooked. Where did they get these profound educations? Part biography, part critical analysis, An Educated Man challenges us to envision what defines "an educated man or woman" today—and how understanding religious history is crucial to it. Rosenberg offers a sympathetic approach to why we need Judeo–Christianity—and ultimately convinces us that the life of Jesus is unthinkable without the model of Moses before him.

Your Future Self
Author: Hal Hershfield
Publisher: Little, Brown Spark
ISBN: 0316421367
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Set your future self up for success with the “fascinating, profound, and immediately practical guide to shaping your life to come, while living more richly in the moment."―Oliver Burkeman, author of Four Thousand Weeks We've all had the desire to travel through time and see what our lives will be like later in life. But while we want the best possible future for ourselves, we often fail to make decisions that would truly make that version of the future a reality: Why do we choose steak over vegetables at dinner, waving off concerns about high cholesterol? Why do we splurge on luxury cars rather than save for retirement? Why can’t we stick to our exercise programs? Why are so many of us so disconnected from our future selves? Based on over a decade of groundbreaking research, Your Future Self is the “entertaining and powerful book” (Carol Dweck, author of Mindset) that explains that in our minds, our future selves often look like strangers. Many of us view the future as incredibly distant, making us more likely to opt for immediate gratification that disregards our health and well-being in the years to come. People who are able to connect with their future selves, however, are better able to balance living for today and planning for tomorrow. “Mind-boggling and soul-stirring” (Daniel H. Pink, author of The Power of Regret), Your Future Self describes the mental mistakes we make in thinking about the future and gives us practical advice for imagining our best future so we can make that vision a reality.
