Soul's Spiritual Travails


Book Description

This book attempts in making in-roads, in to ‘Spirituality’, for the usage of a common man, in personal and professional lives. Initially, the book introduces 'Terminologies', needed to grasp the ‘Concept of Spirituality’. The book takes us on the journey of ‘Decision Making’, a critical aspect of human lives. Our actions are dependent on the decisions that we make. We know that actions create Karmas. Actions are preceded by ‘Thoughts’ and have two back stage operators- 'Emotions and Intent'. 'Karmas' are thus, initiated, moment 'Intents and Emotions' are set in. Did you also know that our 'Intents and Emotions' have a source in our 'EGO'? The book goes on to provide 'Simple and Short' acronyms for its readers to 'delve into', to practice them in their routine daily life, and to make their lives more effective. The book takes us to application of 'Spirituality' in the daily routine of one day of living. This entails raising our energies high enough, even to manifest what we wish to attain and that which we wish to discard. Before coming to nine meditations in the last Chapter of the book, it also covers, "How to attain ‘Oneness’ and ‘Universal Consciousness’, much needed for living in ‘Awareness’. This would lead us to be ‘Balanced and Discriminative’. This ensures us to understand our own-selves better and make us more contributing to the society around us. Meditation makes us ‘Focus and Concentrate', initially on '3-D Object (s), then to a Line (2-D), to a Point (1-D), and finally on The Subtle SELF'. The book, paves the path for us to move beyond 'Maya-Ignorance’, which binds and limits the human through development and usage of ‘Intellect’. This would make us un-limited, free, balanced, and make us apply infinitude and oneness, in our routine lives.




The Travail of the Soul


Book Description




Called to Travail


Book Description

Called to Travail explains in depth the process and purpose of our fiery trials and God's ultimate desire to birth His presence and power into His end-time intercessors. We are on the verge of an unprecedented outpouring of the Spirit and a double-portion anointing that will cause devils to tremble and the gates of hell to crumble. Jesus will choose us in our "furnace of affliction" as we respond in trust and faith. Through deep travail and intercession, we will see millions of captive souls released from the strongholds of sin. Hear the cry of Jesus in this book, calling you to a place of deeper intimacy and trust and to abandon everything and run with Him into the harvest field.




The Secret of Happiness


Book Description

Happiness. It's what we all long for, what all human beings seek in our jobs, our relationships, our activities. We try so hard to be happy, and all too often we end up empty and unsatisfied. Why? Because, says Billy Graham in this classic work, we are looking for happiness in all the wrong places. We haven't learned the secret Jesus taught in the Beatitudes – that true, lasting happiness simply isn't to be found by seeking it directly. Happiness is a by-product, a bonus that comes when we seek what is really important. And the things that will bring us the satisfaction we long for are not necessarily what the world considers meaningful. Jesus did not have to have an outward stimulus to make Him happy, Billy Graham points out. "He had learned a secret that allowed Him to live above the circumstances of life and fear of the future. He moved with calmness, certainty, and serenity through the most trying circumstances – even death! What was His secret? He gave it to us in the Beautitudes." Presented with Billy Graham's characteristic vigor and simplicity in this landmark book, it is a secret that can transform your life.

Western Mysticism


Book Description

A renewed interest in the spiritual, with an increasing number of people today wishing to incorporate the contemplative in their active lives, prompts the reissue of this classic work, a doctrine that is at once elevated and practical. The writings are meant to be studied from three distinct points of view: religious philosophy, material for the study of those states between mind and body such as ecstasy and trance, and for the sake of their mysticism. Drawn from the writings and teachings of Saint Augustine, Saint Gregory and Saint Bernard, the writings form a coordinated body of doctrine with what three great teachers of mystical theology in the Western Church have written concerning their own religious experience and the theories they based on it. In addition, the book discusses such important topics as speculative contemplation, what mysticism is, the characteristics of Western mysticism, the practical, and the contrasts between the contemplative and active lives. No student of mysticism can possibly afford to neglect a volume so full of valuable suggestions and real insight into spiritual conditions.
