Minding the Heart
Author: Saucy, Robert
Publisher: Kregel Publications
ISBN: 0825479908
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
The heart is the most important biblical term for the person's nature and actions. Indeed, the heart is the control center of life. It is the very place where God works to change us. But how does this growth take place? How are Christians to discover the steadfast spirit of David's psalm? In Minding the Heart, Robert L. Saucy offers insightful instruction on what spiritual transformation is and how to achieve it. He shows how renewing one's mind through meditation, action, and community can begin the process of change, but ultimately the final change—the change that brings abundant life—can only come through a vital relationship with God. "The renewing of the heart is an inescapable human need," writes Saucy, "but the solution lies only within the realm of the divine." Drawing from inspiring Bible passages as well as selected scientific studies, Saucy demonstrates how to make lasting change so Christians can finally achieve the joys of becoming more like Christ.

Unmasking the lies of Traditional Christianity
Author: Richard Ravenbrook
Publisher: Arising Voice Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 111
Book Description
In a world increasingly driven by external forces, we often lose sight of the sacred wellspring within. We are bombarded with messages that tell us how to believe, how to act, and how to live, often leaving us feeling disconnected from our own inner truth. This book is a call to return to that wellspring, to rediscover the wisdom that resides within each of us. It is an invitation to embark on a journey of self-discovery, a journey beyond the confines of prescribed dogma and into the boundless realm of personal experience. I, often called The "pagan preacher," invite you to explore the mysteries of faith through a lens of personal awakening and compassionate understanding..This is not a book of answers, but rather a guide to questions. It is not a book of doctrine, but a celebration of the diversity of spiritual paths. It is an invitation to embrace your own unique expression of faith, to find your own way to the divine
