Book Description

God is always in the process of changing us for the best, spiritually and other wise. He wants the best for us and wants to see us whole- complete with nothing missing or broken- "Shalom"(peace). He promises to never leave or forsake us. This is why we can have great hope for the future. We must hear this in mind as we go through this journey of life, trusting Him in every circumference. As you read about my life's journey and the lessons I have learned, I pray that you will let go and let God have His way in your life. He will transform your losses, your pain and disappointments into gains and joy all for His glory. Many people seem to have it all together outwardly, but inside they are devastated. They do not even know who or whose they are anymore. Their past, hurt, pain, and disappointment have left a deep wound in their soul that only God can heal. The prophet Jeremiah reveals that God has a perfect plan for our lives- a plan to prosper us in every sense of the word not to harm us. Eugenia Osho-Williams is a survivor of an interrupted life due to a senseless rebel war of her beloved home country- Sierra Leone. She endured emotional, physical, mental and financial trauma over the years. Yet today, she has a ministry of hope and healing to others. In her book "Spiritual Package for Life's Journey," she outlines the spiritual package used to get her through her life's journey. Her experience in life has taught her how unpredictable and fragile life is. This has caused her to lay a great emphasis on winning souls for Christ, beyond the four walls of a church building. People need to repent of their sins and let God be the center of their lives, for tomorrow is promised to no one.

Book Description

In this novel exploration of Reformed spirituality, Belden C. Lane uncovers a "green theology" that celebrates a community of jubilant creatures of all languages and species. Lane reveals an ecologically sensitive Calvin who spoke of himself as ''ravished'' by the earth's beauty. He speaks of Puritans who fostered a ''lusty'' spirituality in which Christ figured as a lover who encouraged meditation on the wonders of creation. He presents a Jonathan Edwards who urged a sensuous ''enjoyment'' of God's beauty as the only real way of knowing God. Lane argues for the ''double irony'' of Reformed spirituality, showing that Calvinists who often seem prudish and proper are in fact a people of passionate desire. Similarly, Reformed Christians who appear totally focused on divine transcendence turn out at times to be closet nature mystics, exulting in God's glory everywhere. Lane also demonstrates, however, that a spirituality of desire can be derailed, ending in sexual excess and pantheism. Ecologically, holy longing can be redirected from a contemplation of God's splendor in the earth's beauty to a craving for land itself, resulting in disastrous misuse of its resources. Between the major chapters of the book are engaging personal essays drawn from the author's own love of nature as a Reformed Christian, and providing a thoughtful discussion of contemporary issues of species diversity and the honoring of an earth community.

The ideas and experiences that have been rewarding to the author's life may help to enhance and open yours. The certainty associated with all belief systems is the foe of personal expansion. If we are to be fully human and experience the exultation of open ended spirituality, we have to find ways to open ourselves and our spiritual understandings to more profound possibilities of life. Life enhancement can come from any source, any relationship, time, place, encounter, event, book. There are no limitations. Dogmas to the contrary, the universe has chosen no exclusive means of revelation. What is required is the recognition of possibility and keeping oneself open, expectant, and available to receive - or give. Mr. Roberson's explorations of various philosophers, writers, religionists, humanists, and others has illuminated myriad other ways to view life and develop individually the spirit already embedded in our humanity. This book is an attempt to stimulate helpful thought, introspection, and the spiritual journey without the artificial confinements of finalized doctrine. "The greatest gift we have to give is the gift of ourselves."

Book Description

Karl Barth’s famous account of the doctrine of election in his mammoth Dogmatics has been described as the heart of his theology—a great hymn to the grace of God in Christ. Discover the person who initially stimulated Barth’s mammoth reworking of the “classical” view of the doctrine—pastor/theologian Pierre Maury (1890–1956). Their close friendship and especially a seminal paper Maury gave in 1936 entitled “Election and Faith” helped stimulate Barth’s reflection. Discover some never-before-translated works of Maury as well as a revision of a previously published piece on predestination. In this revised and expanded second edition, seven theologians reflect on the significance of these works for us today from historical, textual, pastoral, and theological standpoints, and seek to draw conclusions for us in our contemporary setting.

Book Description

In the middle of the night of October 28, 1910, Leo Tolstoy, the most famous man in Russia, vanished. A secular saint revered for his literary genius, pacificism, and dedication to the earth and the poor, Tolstoy had left his home in secret to embark on a final journey. His disappearance immediately became a national sensation. Two days later he was located at a monastery, but was soon gone again. When he turned up next at Astapovo, a small, remote railway station, all of Russia was following the story. As he lay dying of pneumonia, he became the hero of a national narrative of immense significance. In The Death of Tolstoy, William Nickell describes a Russia engaged in a war of words over how this story should be told. The Orthodox Church, which had excommunicated Tolstoy in 1901, first argued that he had returned to the fold and then came out against his beliefs more vehemently than ever. Police spies sent by the state tracked his every move, fearing that his death would embolden his millions of supporters among the young, the peasantry, and the intelligentsia. Representatives of the press converged on the stationhouse at Astapovo where Tolstoy lay ill, turning his death into a feverish media event that strikingly anticipated today's no-limits coverage of celebrity lives—and deaths. Drawing on newspaper accounts, personal correspondence, police reports, secret circulars, telegrams, letters, and memoirs, Nickell shows the public spectacle of Tolstoy's last days to be a vivid reflection of a fragile, anxious empire on the eve of war and revolution.
