Book Description

What a marvelous difference it makes in our lives when we draw close to the Holy Spirit! Regardless of what our past has been, in every trial or difficulty that may afflict us now, whatever we may face in the future, when we draw near to the Holy Spirit, our lives change for the good. Closeness with the Holy Spirit is the blossoming in us of the graces of our Baptism and especially of our Confirmation. It is then that the Holy Spirit irrevocably seals us with Himself so that we belong completely to Him. Even more, He gives Himself completely to us, to belong to us, to be ours to possess and enjoy. The Holy Spirit who is the Father's and Son's infinitely sweet and mutual Love is now ours, our Beloved and intimate Friend, our Consoler, Healer, and Guide! If we are weighed down with problems and worries, if we long for more love and joy and peace, the Holy Spirit invites us to come close, to let Him do for us what we cannot do ourselves. As the saints experienced in their own weakness, the Holy Spirit is our fierce Protector who loves us tenderly and who fights powerfully for us. We draw near to the Holy Spirit by speaking to Him throughout the day, using the most tender of names, as the Church herself does in her beautiful hymns and prayers to the Holy Spirit. Let us entrust to Him everything that concerns us, asking Him to possess us completely, and to anoint our every breath and every second of our lives. The saints bear witness to how powerfully and tenderly the Holy Spirit dwells within us. May we discover for ourselves the wonders the Holy Spirit accomplishes in those who draw close to Him!

Book Description

In Drawing Near, John Bevere invites readers to explore a life of intimacy with God. Emphasizing the need for obedience, he urges us to practice-just as we would practice anything we hope to improve-our communication with the Holy Spirit. Understanding that prayer is a dialogue, not a monologue, Bevere encourages us to listen at the Father's feet. Study questions in each chapter offer opportunity for reflection, and a "How to draw near to God" section offers practical steps toward developing true intimacy with Him.

Book Description

In our postmodern, experience-oriented culture, people are longing for greater authenticity, integrity, and depth in their pastors and leaders. Board directors, church members, and staff alike are all eagerly seeking leaders who effectively integrate their spirituality and leadership. Pastors and executives, however, often struggle with knowing how to integrate their spiritual values and practices into their leadership and management roles. Designed for pastors, executives, administrators, managers, coordinators, and all who see themselves as leaders and who want to fulfill their God-given purpose, The Spirit-Led Leader addresses the critical fusion of spiritual life and leadership for those who not only want to see results, but who also desire to care just as deeply about who they are and how they lead as they do about what they produce and accomplish. Geoffrion creates a new vision for spiritual leadership as partly an art, partly a result of careful planning, and always a working of the grace of God

Book Description

Heaven: it's everything we're made for, the answer to our inmost longings, our true Home whose depths of joy we can only imagine. And who can tell us more about this blessed realm than the saints — the souls closest to God while here on earth who now dwell beside His royal throne? What they say about Heaven has the fragrant anointing of the Holy Spirit who authored the Scriptures and from whom they draw their wisdom. Open these pages, then, and enter the Celestial Kingdom. Ponder all the rapturous beauty that the saints describe. Bask in the consoling warmth of their tender love for us and grow ever stronger in the desire to share in their heavenly delight. Here you'll come to know the very heart of Heaven: our sharing in the ecstatic love and life of the Trinity. You'll taste the joy of the saints triumphant, ponder the mysteries of our glorious resurrection, and come to understand death as the beautiful gateway to Heaven that it is. Best of all, you'll learn how to begin to live in Heaven even now — by adoring the Blessed Trinity dwelling in your soul, by receiving the precious Body and Blood of the Lord in the Eucharist, and by growing in the heavenly virtue of charity. The wisdom of the saints in these sublimely beautiful pages will quench your fear of death and awaken in you a blessed hunger to join your departed loved ones and to delight with them in the Three Divine Persons who are the very heart of Heaven's splendor.
