MEDITATION MOMENTS TO MELT THE HEART


Book Description

Can God’s faithfulness be seen on the frosting covered face of a baby celebrating his first birthday? Can harvesting blueberries teach me how to overcome fear? Can patience be heard in the laughter of a toddler? Yes! Yes! Yes! Lessons retrieved from God’s Word can be melted into the heart through absorbing ordinary moments! In Meditation Moments To Melt The Heart, three points are used as a triad to lead the reader to apply God’s Truth. At one point of this triangle is a touching and true story. At the second point is a candid and timeless photo, which illustrates the story and adds a visual experience to the emotional one. At the top point is the trusted Word of God. An honest and life-altering application of a Bible passage is given in each of the fifty-two meditations. As a graduate of Cairn University (Philadelphia College of Bible), the author places utmost value on interpreting the Word of God rightly and truthfully. Meditation Moments To Melt The Heart is a devotional book to be assimilated into the spiritual core of the reader. It will melt away discouragement and doubt, and fill the reader with confidence and contentment. Praise for Meditation Moments to Melt the Heart: “Joyce is at ease with her words and conveys what she has learned in a comfortable, endearing way. I know you will enjoy the concepts from Scripture, the applications to life, and her use of word pictures, as well as real photos. Take the time to enjoy these pages. You will be drawn to the message of Christ in everyday moments, in everyday language, and in everyday situations.” — Mrs. Shirley Bubar, mentor of women enrolled in Word of Life Bible Institute, and teacher of “Christian Womanhood”, for twenty years.

Most Intimate


Book Description

The joy of intimacy—with yourself, with others, and with the whole universe. The long-awaited first book from a prominent modern American Zen teacher. For Roshi Pat Enkyo O’Hara, intimacy is what Zen practice is all about: the realization of the essential lack of distinction between self and other that inevitably leads to wisdom and compassionate action. She approaches the practice of intimacy beginning at its most basic level—the intimacy with ourselves that is the essential first step. She then shows how to bring intimacy into our relationships with others, starting with those dearest to us and moving on to those who don’t seem dear at all. She shows how to grow in intimacy so that we include everyone around us, all of society, the whole world and all the beings it contains. Each chapter is accompanied by practices she uses with her students at the Village Zendo for manifesting intimacy in our lives.
