In The Uncluttered Mother, Dana Laquidara presents a process that takes you on a journey to stress-free motherhood (that’s not a typo). Yes, it’s possible to go from Calendars & Clutter, to Health & Habits, to Inspiration & Intuition, knowing that Laquidara’s personal experience and compassion are leading you by the hand.

The Uncluttered Mind
Author: Pastor Tony Ruiz Ma Mfti Cas
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781498440103
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
"I can't allow anyone to get too close to see my vulnerabilities." "It's up to me to control the world I live in, and no one else has the right to interfere." "All people are just takers, and I can't allow them to take what I have." "Nobody cares; I have to look out for myself." These and a myriad of other thoughts clutter the minds of many people, but especially the minds of addicts. Negative, debilitating thoughts and emotions crowd out healthy responses to the challenges of life. Counterproductive patterns of relating to others foster a downward spiral of shame and condemnation that is difficult to escape. But there is hope for the addict-and for anyone who struggles to free himself from the clutter of a mind filled with hopelessness and despair. Antonio Ruiz knows of what he speaks. A former addict himself, he knows all too well the confusion of a cluttered mind, but he also testifies boldly to the peace and freedom of mind that come from a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Unabashedly, he proclaims the transforming power found in a personal relationship with Christ and the clarity of mind it brings. Offering the hope of a better way to anyone struggling with addiction, Ruiz challenges his readers to sweep out the clutter of old ways of thinking and embrace the beauty of an uncluttered mind. Author Info Antonio Ruiz, along with his wife, Mary, is an associate pastor at Bread.n.Water Ministries in Riverside, California. Working under senior pastors John and Jennifer Panyagua, they minister to the homeless and less fortunate through both practical help and scriptural teaching. Ruiz has a master's degree and is a prelicensed marriage and family therapist. He also holds state and national certifications as a drug and alcoholism counselor. Both he and his wife are long-time recovered addicts who tirelessly serve others desiring to find freedom from addictions of all kinds. Tony Ruiz was a long time member of The Coasters (The Bobby Nunn) singing group with many hit records to their credit. Tony Ruiz is now singing a new song for the glory of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. In his C.D. he has many of his legendary friends most of whom are with the Lord now. Many thanks to Doris Jackson of the Shirelles, Don Myrick of Earth, Wind and Fire fame, with his group the Phoenix Horns, Randy Jones of the Original Penguins and the Billy Richards Coasters. Tony Ruiz entitled his CD. Gratitude, Songs from My Heart. It is a highly inspirational Contemporary Soulful Music and available on YouTube and www.tatemusicgroup.com Store.

Pages : 193
Book Description
Would you like to grow in life-giving ways as you age? Do you have the courage to let go of former ways of thinking to receive God's love and life in new ways? As we age, we experience the loss of physical stamina, independence, and career fulfillment. Yet within each of these losses is a holy invitation to grow. God calls us to let go of our need for accomplishment and embrace the gift of fruitfulness so that we might be transformed in this final season of our lives. In Aging Faithfully, spiritual director Alice Fryling explores how to navigate the journey of retirement, lifestyle changes, and new limitations. In this season of life, we are invited to hold both grief and hope, to acknowledge ways of thinking that no longer represent who we are, and to receive peace in the midst of our fears. We all age differently, and God calls each of us to new spiritual birth as we mature. When we embrace the aging process, we grow closer to God and experience his grace as he renews us from within. Whether you are approaching the beginning, middle, or end of your senior years, you are invited. Come and be transformed. Aging Faithfully includes questions for group discussion and suggestions for personal meditation.

What on Earth?
Author: Barney Wiget
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1666795496
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
In his most famous Sermon, Jesus announces a Kingdom so counterintuitive that it appears upside down in contrast to conventional wisdom. By prescribing both a revolutionary personal piety and a radical social possibility he teaches us how to become better people who in turn make the world better. His vision for a countercultural Kingdom challenges our engagement with contemporary culture morally, socially, and even politically. The impact of this Kingdom "on the earth as it is in heaven," with a view to partnering with Jesus in his venture to nudge the world toward its intended design is the focus of this compelling treatment of the Sermon. By a lifestyle of holy nonconformity shaped by the "Blessed Attitudes" (Beatitudes), Jesus commissions his prophetic community to embody a social alternative that the world cannot imagine on its own and to foment a humble and loving cultural shift where the privileged and powerless flourish together in peace and justice. As previews of the coming attractions when Christ will return and reign as King over a new heaven and earth, Kingdom citizens work toward initiating such a world on earth as it is in heaven today.
