Sacred Pathways
Author: Gary Thomas
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310361184
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Sacred Pathways reveals nine distinct spiritual temperaments--and their strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies--to help you improve your spiritual life and deepen your personal walk with God. It's time to strip away the frustration of a one-size-fits-all spirituality and discover a path of worship that frees you to be you. Experienced spiritual directors, pastors, and church leaders recognize that all of us engage with God differently, and it's about time we do too. In this updated and expanded edition of Sacred Pathways, Gary Thomas details nine spiritual temperaments and--like the Enneagram and other tools do with personality--encourages you to investigate the ways you most naturally express yourself in your relationship with God. He encourages you to dig into the traits, strengths, and pitfalls in your devotional approach so you can eliminate the barriers that keep you locked into rigid methods of worship and praise. Plus, as you begin to identify and understand your own temperament, you'll soon learn about the temperaments that aren't necessarily "you" but that may help you understand the spiritual tendencies of friends, family, and others around you. Whatever temperament or blend of temperaments best describes you, rest assured it's not by accident. It's by the design of a Creator who knew what he was doing when he made you according to his own unique intentions. If your spiritual walk is not what you'd like it to be, you can change that, starting here. Sacred Pathways will show you the route you were made to travel, marked by growth and filled with the riches of a close walk with God. A Sacred Pathways video Bible study is also available for group or individual use, sold separately.

The Lost Discipline of Conversation
Author: Joanne J. Jung
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310538971
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
Recovering Spiritual Practices of the Past titles reach beyond commonly known spiritual formation practices in order to mine the wisdom of the past, bringing to light ways of thinking, living, and growing in Christ that the church today has largely overlooked. In The Lost Discipline of Conversation, spiritual formation professor and author Joanne Jung walks readers through the Puritan practice of "conference," or focused, spiritual conversations intended to promote ongoing transformation. An antidote to privatized faith, conference calls believers to biblical literacy and soul care in a context of transparency and accountability. Useful for believers in any sphere or ministry or stage in life, conference is ultimately a tool for nurturing mutual, godly authenticity within community.

Edgar Cayce's Twelve Lessons in Personal Spirituality
Author: Kevin J. Todeschi
Publisher: Yazdan Publishing Company
ISBN: 9780984567218
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 170
Book Description
For years Edgar Cayce, the most documented psychic of all time, provided a small group of individuals with lessons in soul growth and personal transformation. This volume presents a new look at those major principles. From the first lesson on cooperation through others on ideals, patience, oneness and love, this book provides specific tools for personal and spiritual development. The Cayce information suggests that each individual has a definite purpose for living. There is also the promise that with a spiritual intent we can come to understand that purpose. We are all here for a reason, a reason that joins us in search of a common heritage. Presented here are insights for awakening to our spiritual nature and to an awareness of the purpose of the soul. Edgar Cayce's Twelve Lessons in Personal Spirituality is designed as a tool for personal reflection, as a handbook for small group discussion, and even as a source of encouragement during those moments when the challenges of life seem more overwhelming than the beauty of it. For though we may be separated by language, or religion, or customs, or race, or even vast distances, we all share the earth as our temporal home, we are all Children of the same God, and we are all seekers along the way.

A History of the School of Spiritual Science
Author: Johannes Kiersch
Publisher: Temple Lodge Publishing
ISBN: 9781902636801
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
The School of Spiritual Science and its individual sections was initiated by Rudolf Steiner at the Christmas Conference (1923-1924). His intention, in his own words, was to present "the esoteric aspect." It was to have three classes, though only the First Class was instituted before Steiner's death in 1925. Recently, the written records on which the teaching of the First Class is based have been published in both German and English, which has given rise to a number of questions. Consequently, the council of the General Anthroposophical Society in Dornach, Switzerland, commissioned Johannes Kiersch to write a history of this unique organization. The result is an overview of the First Class and its development, from the early esotericism developed by Rudolf Steiner while still connected with the Theosophical Society, to the period following World War II. The author provides individual commentaries on the first "mediators" of the school, including Lili Kolisko, Harry Collison, and Count Polzer-Hoditz. The book also presents some thirty-seven original documents in an extensive appendix, which features personal notes, letters, and speeches connected with the Esoteric School. A History of the School of Spiritual Science presents a balanced history of the birth and development of the First Class and its struggles through the controversial splits and conflicts that followed Steiner's death. As Kiersch states, "The aim has been, above all, to come as close as possible to the sources and offer historical material for individuals to form their own opinion."
