Relax


Book Description

Problems and pain are inevitable in life. However, how we walk through these moments and manage them make a significant difference. Relax is a Christian book that helps readers walk peacefully even in the most difficult moments in life. Relax reflects on the peace one experiences when one constantly abiding and remaining in Christ. The theological projection is often peace after deliverance or when one gets to heaven. In contrast, this book engages readers in a level of maturity in Christ and helps one build a mindset where he or she can explore God's peace in this life, at all times, anywhere and this can begin right now. ?Relax challenges readers to stop letting oneself beaten by depression, anxiety and stress. It challenges readers to thrive in difficulties instead of allowing the difficulties to move us, similar to how the wind moves an empty plastic bag. A peace to all and for all is found only in Jesus Christ.




Peace in the Midst of the Storm


Book Description

Have you been going through a bad marriage? Have you been divorced? Do you want to end your life from all the misery from within and without? Oh, my little ones, God is not even a breath away. He is there for you. Are you the one God is calling out to? God is the god of peace and love. He is waiting for you to call out the name of Jesus for his gentle touch of salvation. He wants to free you from death, hell, and the grave. Are you the one who has run away from Jesus and his loving hands of forgiveness? Come back to him. He did not leave you. You are mad at him, but he is not mad at you. Are you the one who has lost your little child, wife, husband, brother, or sister? God Almighty, the creator of your very being, is there for you—always loving, always caring, always blessing. I have your answer, my friend. His name is Jesus Christ, the son of the living God. He is alpha and omega, our beginning, and with his presence, there will never be an end. Let me share with you my personal collection of psalms, poems, and thoughts, which God has given to me throughout the years. It is my heartfelt prayer that if you can relate to any of these life issues, you are the one this book was written for to give you peace in the midst of the storms of life. —J. Michael Vessels

At Hell's Gate


Book Description

In this raw and moving memoir, Claude Thomas describes his service in Vietnam, his subsequent emotional collapse, and his remarkable journey toward healing. At Hell's Gate is not only a gripping coming-of-age story but a spiritual travelogue from the horrors of combat to the discovery of inner peace—a journey that inspired Thomas to become a Zen monk and peace activist who travels to war-scarred regions around the world. "Everyone has their Vietnam," Thomas writes. "Everyone has their own experience of violence, calamity, or trauma." With simplicity and power, this book offers timeless teachings on how we can all find healing, and it presents practical guidance on how mindfulness and compassion can transform our lives. This expanded edition features: • Discussion questions for reading groups • A new afterword by the author reflecting on how the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are affecting soldiers—and offering advice on how to help returning soldiers to cope with their combat experiences




A Course of Love


Book Description

No matter how much is learned, if that learning remains in our heads, it is not enough. Unless learning touches our hearts, it's never going to bring us the wisdom we seek, the peace we desire, or the intimacy and connection for which we yearn. A new and more receptive way of knowing is needed, and is found in this course for the heart. "A Course of Love" was received by Mari Perron and given to be a "new" course in miracles. It is for the heart what "A Course in Miracles" is for the mind. For many, it is the next step in a journey already begun.




Sometimes I Never Suffered


Book Description

Spanning religious, historical, and political themes, a new collection from the award-winning poet I think now more than half Of life is death but I can’t die Enough for all the life I see In Sometimes I Never Suffered, his seventh collection of poems, Shane McCrae remains “a shrewd composer of American stories” (Dan Chiasson, The New Yorker). Here, an angel, hastily thrown together by his fellow residents of Heaven, plummets to Earth in his first moments of consciousness. Jim Limber, the adopted mixed-race son of Jefferson Davis, wanders through the afterlife, reckoning with the nuances of America’s racial history, as well as his own. Sometimes I Never Suffered is a search for purpose and atonement, freedom and forgiveness, imagining eternity not as an escape from the past or present, but as a reverberating record and as the culmination of time’s manifold potential to mend.
