Book Description
There has never been a more vulnerable time for priests in the Catholic Church. Although the Catholic religion continues to play an important role in peoples lives around the world, the role of the priest has become publically scrutinized and questioned. In The Potter and His Earthen Vessels, author Dan Corcoran provides an objective, unadulterated perspective on the history of the role of the priest in the Catholic Church. Beginning with a historical look at the role of church leaders in the early Christian church, Corcoran expands on the characteristics that modern-day priests need to embody in order to effectively lead and minister to their churchesand honor God. The Potter and His Earthen Vessels also explores the inherent humanity of these men of God, all of whom are imperfectbut in whom God has entrusted his Word, endowing them with special gifts and talents. Priests from all time are Gods earthen vessels, and these servants of God can help make a difference in the lives of believers. Even though the priesthood is changing and has experienced difficulties in the past, a fresh and personal perspective on the lives of men who form the priesthood can offer us a way to understand the necessity of the priesthood for Gods kingdom and our eternal salvation.

The Potter and His Clay How To Know God's Present Purpose For Your Life Now, Starting Well and Finishing Strong, The Christian Grace Race Written from a heart to help all believers discover and know the perfect will of God for their lives. Some who have discovered His will, have been sidetracked and detoured from it. In a marathon it is not how you start the race, but how you finish! This book is a study of the process in making clay pottery in ancient times, and how in allegorical language it relates to the spiritual journey of our Christian life today. The ultimate goal of this book is to give scriptural guidelines on how to help you finish the Grace Race and complete God's destiny for your life! "Your message is so timely and powerful. Wow! I pray that your book will make it into the hands (and hearts) of everyone who so desperately needs to read it! I agree with you that we are living in somewhat of a paradoxical time. Sometimes it seems as though everyone has given up on revival and living for Jesus. Yet, we also live in a time where so many hunger for more. Your book sounds an alarm while simultaneously raising a banner of hope for those who think true Christianity has done nothing but disintegrate." -Michael and Kathy from Plano, TX Alan Burns is founder and director of "Rivers of Life Outreach Ministries."

The Ignatian Guide to Forgiveness
Author: M Berzins McCoy
Publisher: Messenger Publications
ISBN: 1788125290
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Forgiveness is hard. But Jesus knows how much we need it. True forgiveness can be complicated because the pain of betrayal, loss, deception, and personal attack clings tightly to our emotions, memories, even our bodies. We may intend to forgive yet become stuck in our own mixed motives, others’ silence or anger, and the skewed stories we believe and tell about our lives. In The Ignatian Guide to Forgiveness, Marina McCoy delves into the principles of Ignatian spirituality and uses gentle honesty to lay out 10 steps toward forgiveness, including: • Sort out true desires • Honor anger while deepening compassion • Make friends with time • Create a new story • . . . and more. Each chapter offers stories, real-life steps to take, and a powerful prayer for healing Forgiveness is hard, but it’s also possible—with our “habits of mercy” and God’s abundant grace.
