The Sacred Echo


Book Description

“Don’t Listen For the Voice of God. Listen for His Echo.” When God really wants to get your attention, he doesn’t just say something once. He echoes. He speaks through a Sunday sermon, a chance conversation with a friend the next day, even a random email. The same theme, idea, impression, or lesson will repeat itself in surprising and unexpected ways until you realize that maybe, just maybe, God is at work. According to author Margaret Feinberg, the repetitive nature of a sacred echo gives us confidence that God really is prompting, guiding, or leading. The sacred echo reminds us to pay close attention – something important may be going on here. The sacred echo challenges us to prayerfully consider how God is at work in our life as well as in the lives of those around us. The sacred echo is an invitation to spiritual awakening. Margaret writes, “I want a relationship with God where prayer is as natural as breathing. If God is the one in whom we are to live and move and have our being, then I want my every inhale infused with his presence, my every exhale an extension of his love.” If that’s your desire too, let Sacred Echo be your guide to a deeper, more rewarding relationship with the God of the universe.




Silent Voices Hidden Wisdom


Book Description

SILENT VOICES HIDDEN WISDOM Is it fearful, the unknown silent voices so long hidden? Or to hold all the emotions of sentient life? Telepathy is thought transference of mental energy from one being to another. Humans use telepathic energy constantly. We are aware the voice in our mind is never silent. We are unaware of our capability to use telepathic energy with intent. We use it every day and often do not recognize our oldest form of communication. Animals vocal cords, due to their physical structure, were not able to attain formed language as humans did. They continue to express themselves telepathically or with behavior when humans deny to acknowledge their inner ability to hear them telepathically. Discover the widening scope of using telepathic communication in our daily life. We would discover there are no secrets in the thread of life! Just imagine using telepathy to converse with all creation on earth, in heaven or other dimensions. The messages received are the wisdom of the ages and encompass the full spectrum of eternity. Telepathically conversing with sentient beings in all dimensions is funny, surprisingly delightful and compassionate. The silent voices impart wisdom and guidance in every moment of our everyday life. Our mind seeks a place for discovery in curiosity. The silent voices and hidden wisdom within us holds the key to answers from all dimensions. Journey the joy and hidden wisdom in the silent voices, in their words and prayers.




Silent Voices: Meditations for Holy Week


Book Description

A battle rages between doubt and faith. Combining the words of Scripture, tradition, and legend with the author's imagination, Silent Voices: Meditations for Holy Week contemplates what those nameless Holy Week silent participants were thinking and feeling. Can we see ourselves in the soldier, the thieves, the Marys, John, Pilate and his wife, Peter, Barabbas, Simon of Cyrene, Cleopas--even Judas? Can we feel what they felt, how they gloated, how they hurt, why they made the decisions they made? Will we put on their dusty sandals and wear their blood-stained robes? Are we willing to walk their walk, stumble, pronounce judgments, sputter denials, hear the taunts, wallow in grief, or be conflicted as they were conflicted? In these meditations the author tries to feel what it felt like to pick up his cross, or to nail him to it. From the perspective of those "silent ones" of the Gospels, with sand between our toes and the festering stench of the ancient world, we witness the sacrifice of our Lord. At the heart of each meditation are the questions "Who was this man?" "How would I have responded to his willing sacrifice?" and "How will I respond today?"

The Sacred Pulse


Book Description

Contemporary life is leaving us frazzled, overwhelmed, and out of sorts. Our life's rhythm is often borrowed from the pace of life around us. Humans have created such a loud, fast tempo of perfection and production that we often forget--if we ever knew it at all--the rhythms designed for our well-being. In The Sacred Pulse, pastor and author April Fiet invites us to examine the frantic patterns of our lives to reclaim the deeper, sacred pulses that pattern our days. Through stories, scripture, and practical guidance for daily living, she lays out twelve rhythms--including gardening, handcrafts, friendship, and holidays--that are both sustainable and sustaining. Everyday acts like mealtime and shopping, and sporadic rhythms like the occasional snow day: reclaiming these patterns can remind us of the holy movement of God in the world. In a world of hustle and bravado, silencing the noise takes practice. The Sacred Pulse shows us how to strip away all of the competing beats we have settled for so we can tap into the joyful, holy rhythms of life.




Silent Voices


Book Description

Some of the greatest English novels were written during the Victorian era, and many are still widely read and taught today. But many others written during that period have been neglected by scholars and modern readers alike. A number of these novels were written by women and were popular when published. Moreover, they reveal perspectives of 19th-century British culture not present in canonized works and therefore revise our understanding of Victorian life and attitudes. With the increasing interest in revising Victorian history and gender scholarship, especially through the rediscovery of lost texts written by women, this book is a timely and much needed study. The expert contributors to this volume argue the value of novels by such Victorian women writers as Grace Aguilar, Catherine Crowe, Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna, Annie E. Holdsworth, Ella Hepworth Dixon, Flora Annie Steel, Anne Thackeray, Sarah Grand, Marie Corelli, and others. Most of the chapters address numerous works by a particular writer. Each focuses on different social issues as well, though most of them share an interest in gender politics. Topics discussed include a 19th-century Jewish novelist's navigation through Protestant spirituality, the relationship of noncanonical governess novels to class and gender issues, and forgotten works by women crime writers. Other chapters analyze how women writers impelled social reform and subverted patriarchally defined religious issues.




Silent Voices


Book Description

Silent Voices was inspired for the purpose of presenting revolutionary stories in the form of a live stage production entitled, Silent Voices. The production introduces stories about ending the silence that has subtly contributed to the negativity, depression, physical infirmities, voids, and emptiness in countless lives. There is a loss of peace, joy, intimacy, and confident prayer when our relationship with God is not at the level that it should be. Silence has affected generations of young men, women, and children which has resulted in multitudes of people with unproductive lives.As you read this book, you will find that there are many ladies who were living their life in darkness but confidently decided to break the silence, in Jesus name, to live a productive life of peace and joy. Amazingly, they are now on the road to recovering their true purpose in life. And, you can do it too! A DVD recording and a book that will certainly have you in tears that is available to aide in the personal healing process. More details are available at [email protected]. It is my prayer that everyone who picks up this book is that God will open up your heart and allow you to receive healing, help, and wholeness as you share in the triumph that is expressed through the testimonies penned by such beautiful women.




The Life and Regimen of the Blessed and Holy Syncletica, Part One


Book Description

The life of Syncletica is one of the oldest lives of a woman saint and provides rare testimony to the life of female sanctity in the fifth century. This translation of the life forms Part One of a two-part set, while Part Two provides the first full-length study of the teachings and spiritual background of this most remarkable woman. Anchored firmly in the Scriptures and in everyday, human experience, Syncletica's teachings are as pertinent today as they were fifteen centuries ago. Her meditations, based on astute psychological insights, still have the power to inspire, to encourage, and to challenge latter-day disciples to live authentic Christian lives.
