Art, Imagination and Christian Hope


Book Description

In hope, Christian faith reconfigures the shape of what is familiar in order to pattern the contours of God's promised future. In this process, the present is continuously re-shaped by ventures of hopeful and expectant living. In art, this same poetic interplay between past, present and future takes specific concrete forms, furnishing vital resources for sustaining an imaginative ecology of hope. This volume attends to the contributions that architecture, drama, literature, music and painting can make, as artists trace patterns of promise, resisting the finality of modernity's despairing visions and generating hopeful living in a present which, although marked by sin and death, is grasped imaginatively as already pregnant with future.

Hope


Book Description

Hope Heart of Peaceful Endurance A Godly Resilience In our ever-evolving world where nefarious happenings are occurring regularly and positivity seems to be obscure, we all seem to be searching for hope. It is the possession we need and perhaps long for to encourage every passing day. When things look impossible or in despair, we have to build up our hope and lean on our faith. Hope is a skill. In this easy-to-read yet powerful book, Charlene takes you through five practical steps on employing your hope skills. There is exploration through subjective and dictionary definitions of hope before introducing the steps of this indistinct skill. In addition, we will journey through ways that hope can be stolen and, conversely, how we can sustain or reinforce our hope through action even during trying times. We are more resilient than we give ourselves credit. By using Bible verses, real-life narratives, constructive levity, and pragmatic ingenuity, the goal is to convey to the reader * how to identify and utilize the hope steps * how to prevent the enemy from stealing your hope * why you have to watch your words or words spoken over you * what the Bible has to say about hope * how to look for the butterfly moments and pursue resilience * how antagonistic feelings can affect your hope * why hope is the link between faith and wellness * where our hope comes from * why you are worth it and being kind to yourself During tough times, hope is not the easiest to hold on to. However, it is the best gift you can give yourself. Be encouraged and allow God to minister to you. Happy reading!

Called to Witness Hope


Book Description

This is a meditation about the vocation of the catechist. Whether you are a seasoned catechist or considering the invitation to become one, Called to Witness Hope reflects on the joy as well as the responsibilities of being someone who echoes the faith to others. A catechist is, first and foremost, a person living the grace of Baptism in the everyday, a joyful missionary disciple, a passionate witness of God’s love in history. Starting with some thoughts on the calling to be a catechist, the book invites readers to contemplate four images meant to inspire deeper appreciation for this ministry: evangelizer, bridge, companion, and prophet of hope. Called to Witness Hope builds upon the impetus generated by Pope Francis’s institution of the ministry of catechist in his apostolic letter Antiquum Ministerium (2021), the text of which is part of the book. This book is neither a commentary on the apostolic letter nor an analysis of the specialized ministry of the instituted catechist. This is a work about all catechists and for all catechists—a meditation on the beauty and power of this vocation.
