More and more people-- especially millennials-- are turning to religion as a source of comfort and solace in our increasingly chaotic world. Rather than live a cloistered life of seclusion, the Daughters of Saint Paul actively embrace social media to evangelize, collectively calling themselves the #MediaNuns. In this collective memoir, eight of these Sisters share their own discernment journeys, struggles and crises of faith that they have overcome, and episodes from their daily lives. They offer practical takeaways and tips for living a more spiritually-fulfilled life, no matter your religious affiliation. -- adapted from jacket

Sacred Pathways reveals nine distinct spiritual temperaments--and their strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies--to help you improve your spiritual life and deepen your personal walk with God. It's time to strip away the frustration of a one-size-fits-all spirituality and discover a path of worship that frees you to be you. Experienced spiritual directors, pastors, and church leaders recognize that all of us engage with God differently, and it's about time we do too. In this updated and expanded edition of Sacred Pathways, Gary Thomas details nine spiritual temperaments and--like the Enneagram and other tools do with personality--encourages you to investigate the ways you most naturally express yourself in your relationship with God. He encourages you to dig into the traits, strengths, and pitfalls in your devotional approach so you can eliminate the barriers that keep you locked into rigid methods of worship and praise. Plus, as you begin to identify and understand your own temperament, you'll soon learn about the temperaments that aren't necessarily "you" but that may help you understand the spiritual tendencies of friends, family, and others around you. Whatever temperament or blend of temperaments best describes you, rest assured it's not by accident. It's by the design of a Creator who knew what he was doing when he made you according to his own unique intentions. If your spiritual walk is not what you'd like it to be, you can change that, starting here. Sacred Pathways will show you the route you were made to travel, marked by growth and filled with the riches of a close walk with God. A Sacred Pathways video Bible study is also available for group or individual use, sold separately.

This book addresses the deeper issues that matter most in life: faith, wisdom, values, spirituality, relationships, connection, and self-reflection. As our world becomes more and more secular, people remain restless and hungry to discuss these important topics. What does it mean to grow spiritually? What does it mean to do meaningful soul work? What are the values and priorities that should matter most? What type of culture will our children and grandchildren inherit? Here are a few insights that I believe to be true. -All human beings long for meaning and deeper purpose in their lives. -Jesus Christ continues to speak to and challenge our culture. -Issues of character and integrity are very important. -Growth in the spiritual life has become much more challenging in this busy age of technology, multi- tasking, and over-commitment. -Relationships are essential and can cause great joy and fulfillment as well as pain and heartache. -Politics and ideology have become both polarizing and toxic in many ways, deeply dividing families and friendships. -Wisdom is much more valuable than knowledge. -Social isolation and loneliness will continue to be one of the great challenges of the twenty-first century. -We live in an age of anxiety, where fear abounds and overwhelms many. -We all long to move beyond superficiality to a much deeper level of connection. -There are many values that must be passed down from generation to generation

What does Biblical spirituality look like? What does it mean to be "spiritual"? What priorities and practices inspire one to live the Christian life well? While there are a multitude of answers to these questions, very rarely are they both clear and profound. As a result, Christians can be left feeling lost and confused. In The Spirit of Holiness, Terry Delaney and Roger Duke have collected a variety of reflections on spirituality that are shaped by the Bible, theology, and the voices and examples of those who have come before us. With authors like Al Mohler, Michael Haykin, and Steve Lawson covering topics such as perseverance, depression, friendship, choice, and faith, The Spirit of Holiness encourages and directs Christians to a healthy biblical spirituality informed by their forebears of the faith.

My book consists of a number of short writings, based on the ability to communicate with spirit, and how it has helped me to understand my journey through life and all it's events. I write of understanding natural law and the balance of nature; personal responsibility and retributions in all doings. I write of examples of how this understanding has helped me, what I have discovered in being a positive person and living a positive life. I also draw attention to healing energies, and assisting self to heal the heart, mind, and soul. Helping to direct a positive outlook on life and its events. I feel anyone who reads my book will find they can identify in some way with the experiences I share, and the messages derived from these writings.

Originally published in 1997, David L. Cain revisited the personal journals that inspired the The Spiritual Reflections of a Black Man. The new insights pick up where the original left off and cover a variety of current events that include accepting our differences, adopting high values, dealing with adversity, and making tough life choices. By reflecting on life events spiritually, we show God that we are ready to learn. His promise of ask and it shall be opened unto you has never been and never will be broken. We simply have to ask in the right context, and since God is a Spirit, then it stands to reason that the right context is spiritual.
