HEALING PRESENCE
Author: Alex Mathew
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 214
Book Description
This book is written in a theistic context; that, I believe God is in control. It is not an easy proposition to intelligent, technical and scientifically thinking AI Robotic brains. Existence itself is the Love-Truth that infill and surrounds all that exist, It is The all-inclusive - ‘IS’. Existence itself is a present- continuous-ongoing-event that can only be represented by ‘IS’ or the present-continuous- state-of-being. The idea of meta-love counseling or ‘beyond’ counseling is, being-in-the- moment-that-reveals-itself to the one who is ready in sensitive alertness to receive whatever IS. This book maintains that none is entitled to alter the perpetual ‘IS” The ‘Counselor’ as Jesus meant will lead you into situations that redeem and heal. The idea is very simple. In that particular state-of-being the counselor whom we refer to as the Christian-Meta-Love –Counselor or a Healing Presence, functions as a conduit of healing in the confused, suffering, broken, desperate, defeated, self-centered, unforgiving individuals to gain freedom from their private bondage to experience Healing. It is not as much as what the Meta-Love-Counselor does but who she or he is within the glorious presence of Jesus who in fills the Meta-love-counselor to function as an agent of the healing in and through the Meta-love-counselor only acts as a channel of healing. The Holy Spirit; source of all comfort and healing begins flowing to the person in need, through you, who functions as a genuine conduit for the happening, healing process. The dynamics of such happenings is not explainable technically; as it is there for anyone in the Spirit to experience it and for those outside it to reject outright. Without love, the counselee will only be influenced to believe everything is fine. Love-Truth makes all things possible including all comforting, healing and wholeness. Surrounded by Love-Truth, all things become possible. Surrender in Love-Truth to sense the magic of love.

Heal the Pain, Comfort the Spirit
Author: Dorene O'Hara, M.D.
Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press
ISBN: 1512804967
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
Specialists estimate that as many as 60 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, and approximately 20 percent of the population in most developed countries reports having chronic pain. According to one study, chronic back pain alone afflicts more than four million Americans, and nearly 50 percent of these are disabled by it. Pain is the most frequent cause of disability in the United States, with as many as 50 million Americans on short- or long-term disability leave from work at any one time. As these figures suggest, chronic pain is extremely difficult to treat successfully—it is a complex and baffling phenomenon, poorly understood even in the medical centers devoted to its diagnosis and treatment. In Heal the Pain, Comfort the Spirit Dorene O'Hara, an anesthesiologist with extensive training in pain management and clinical pharmacology, explores treatment techniques developed over many years of studying, treating, and lecturing on chronic pain. She also examines the important contributions made by other clinical professionals and by practitioners of alternative medicine. Combining a general survey of the forms of pain therapy with suggestions for how patients can find the most appropriate treatment plan for themselves, Heal the Pain, Comfort the Spirit provides needed answers for pain sufferers as well as practitioners.

Torn to Heal
Author: Mike Leake
Publisher: Cruciform Press
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
God is radically dedicated to our ongoing growth in spiritual maturity and holiness. This is both glorious and terrifying. It is glorious because the Lord of heaven and earth is for us. But it is terrifying because we are idolaters. This means that when God brings greater redemption into our lives he also brings a death sentence to our fallen desires. In love, God will do whatever it takes - even tearing us to shreds if necessary - to replace our feeble pleasures with lasting desire for himself. Sadly, in our culture two false responses to suffering have become deeply embedded in the Church: deadly dualism and shallow stoicism. Each can effectively hijack God's good purpose in suffering. Torn to Heal equips us to understand and reject these false and self-defeating approaches to suffering, and to embrace God's good purpose in our trials.

Homo Florens?
Author: Nadia Marais
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666767115
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
What does it mean to flourish? Human flourishing lies at the heart of the good news of the gospel, and yet contemporary theologies know not only one way of speaking about what it means to flourish. If we embed our theological grammars of flourishing in the doctrine of salvation, as the doctrine in which theological flourishing talk is arguably rooted and from which rich fruit may be borne, there is not one but various ways in which to speak about what it means to flourish. Yet what governs our speaking? Why do we speak of flourishing as we do? The various conceptions of human flourishing that are outlined in this book – piety, joy, and comfort; being fully alive, healing, and dignity; grace, happiness, and blessing – represent a collection of attempts not only to imagine human flourishing, but also to imagine ways of speaking about human flourishing. Perhaps what theology could offer to the vibrant and robust conversations on human flourishing lies exactly in the reminder to take care about how we speak about that which is truly and deeply human: our longing to flourish.
