Sacred Instructions
Author: Sherri Mitchell
Publisher: North Atlantic Books
ISBN: 1623171962
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
A “profound and inspiring” collection of ancient indigenous wisdom for “anyone wanting the healing of self, society, and of our shared planet” (Peter Levine, author of Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma). A Penobscot Indian draws on the experiences and wisdom of the First Nations to address environmental justice, water protection, generational trauma, and more. Drawing from ancestral knowledge, as well as her experience as an attorney and activist, Sherri Mitchell addresses some of the most crucial issues of our day—including indigenous land rights, environmental justice, and our collective human survival. Sharing the gifts she has received from the elders of her tribe, the Penobscot Nation, she asks us to look deeply into the illusions we have labeled as truth and which separate us from our higher mind and from one another. Sacred Instructions explains how our traditional stories set the framework for our belief systems and urges us to decolonize our language and our stories. It reveals how the removal of women from our stories has impacted our thinking and disrupted the natural balance within our communities. For all those who seek to create change, this book lays out an ancient world view and set of cultural values that provide a way of life that is balanced and humane, that can heal Mother Earth, and that will preserve our communities for future generations.

Be Ye Transformed Leader's Guide

Publisher: Koinonia House
ISBN: 9780975253441
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 101
Book Description
The leader's guide provides answers to the workbook questions.Paul declares '...be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed [how?] by the renewing of your mind...' (Romans 12:2) This is our Biblical injunction from the Lord. The question is: How do we do it? What is the practical application of taking every thought captive, renewing our minds and putting on the Mind of Christ?In this sequel to The Way of Agape, Nancy shares that, ?without a renewed mind, our lives will remain the same as they've always been, no matter what we do or try. No matter how many Bible studies we attend, no matter how many Scriptures we know or how much we pray, without a mind change, our lives will still have the same problems, the same failures and the same defeats as they always have. The battle is truly waged in our minds!?--------------------------------------------------------------------- ?Be Ye Transformed is a must-read for anyone who wants to see a positive change in their Christian walk. It not only teaches us how to ?take every thought captive,? renew our minds and put on the Mind of Christ, it also contains an expansion of Nancy's original model of the human personality (i.e., the hidden chambers), which she meticulously crafted from the Scriptural pattern of Solomon's Temple. Practical, field-tested examples from years of ministry makes Be Ye Transformed a classic Christian work.'William P. Welty, M.

Sacred Pace
Author: Terry Looper
Publisher: HarperChristian + ORM
ISBN: 078522338X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
How do we hear from God and discern His will when it’s time to make big decisions? Terry Looper shares a four-step process for doing just that - a process he has learned and refined over thirty years as a Christian entrepreneur and founder of a multi-billion dollar company. At just thirty-six years old, Terry Looper was a successful Christian businessman who thought he had it all—until managing all he had led to a devastating burnout. Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams but miserable beyond belief, Terry experienced a radical transformation when he discovered how to align himself with God’s will in the years following his crash and burn. Sacred Pace is a four-step process that helps Christians in all walks of life learn how to slow down their decision-making under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, sift through their surface desires and sinful patterns in order to receive clear, peace-filled answers from the Lord, gain the confident assurance that God’s answers are His way of fulfilling the true desires he has placed in their hearts, and grow closer to the One who loves them most and knows them best. Sacred Pace is not another example of name-it-and-claim-it materialism in disguise. Instead, it walks Christians through the sometimes-painful process of “dying to self” in their decisions, both big and small, so that they desire God’s will more than their own.
