The international bestselling spiritual book, now with a new look for its 20th anniversary. Eckhart Tolle demonstrates how to live a healthier, happier, mindful life by living in the present moment.
To make the journey into The Power of Now we will need to leave our analytical mind and its false created self, the ego, behind. Although the journey is challenging, Eckhart Tolle offers simple language and a question and answer format to show us how to silence our thoughts and create a liberated life.
Surrender to the present moment, where problems do not exist. It is here we find our joy, are able to embrace our true selves and discover that we are already complete and perfect. If we are able to be fully present and take each step in the Now we will be opening ourselves to the transforming experience of The Power of Now.
“Whenever I see a Manyano woman, I see a woman who has the world in her hands and has the power to make things change because of the power that is prayer”. - Stella Shumbe
“As a Manyano, you listen to painful journeys and experiences of people … They talk about abuse at home, unemployment, children who are reckless and all the sensitive things you can think of … We come together to share our pain and struggles.’ - Nobuntu Madwe
Lihle Ngcobozi, herself the progeny of three generations of Manyano women, takes an original, fresh look at the meaning of the Manyano. Between male-dominated struggle narratives and Western feminist misreadings, this church-based women's organisation has become a mere footnote to history.
Long overlooked as the juggernaut of black women’s organising that it has been and continues to be, the Manyano has immense historical and cultural meaning in black communities across the country. To this day, it is still evolving to meet the changing needs of black South Africans.
Here, the Manyano women speak for themselves, in an African feminist meditation rendered by one of their own.
Ever since its composition in the ninth century, the use of the
Veni Creator in the liturgy of Pentecost and in Christian
assemblies has been constant, as one continuous, solemn invocation
of the Paraclete. Its language, however, is far removed from
theological discourse but inspired by symbol, image and song, by
poetry and liturgy, by prophecy and living models of holiness. The
author is one of the foremost specialists in the theology of the
Spirit. He has the master’s art of drawing the reader by
communicating his own enthusiasm for the Holy Spirit.
This book is an investment not only for your immediate future but for your eternal future. The scriptures in this devotional helped me get through a difficult time in my life. Through my pain, I experience peace. You too can find peace, if you seek peace. As you go through your daily devotional you will find weekly "walk" scriptures strategically placed for your encouragement. Not Shown are 365 photos to brighten your day or night and to help bring to remembrance the Word of God. We had such an amazing time studying God's Word and having Him illuminate his encouraging, thought-provoking, peaceful and comforting words to our hearts as we pined the words to paper. Isaiah 55:11 says, "So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing which I sent it." NKJV As you go from day to day or night to night, you too can start experiencing life in a 'new' light. It does not matter if you are not currently "walking" with God, if you are just starting to "walk" with God or if you have been "walking" with Him for years. You will receive and experience your blessing(s) as you turn the page to a new day each day of your life from year to year. This will be the one book you will need to get you through to the next year.
Die bundel bevat artikels oor geloof en kerk in veranderende kontekste. Bydraes is deur teoloë van die Universiteit van Suid-Afrika en die Protestantse Teologiese Universiteit in Nederland gelewer en is die resultaat van samewerking tussen die twee universiteite op die gebied van praktiese en sistematiese teologie.
Die fokus is op die verantwoordelikheid van die kerk teenoor armes, die aard en wese van die kerk, die Christelik Godsbegrip en die wyse waarop oor God in die prediking gedink en gepraat word. Van die boeiende bydraes is ’n vergelyking tussen armoede in Suid-Afrika en Nederland, verhale oor die wyse waarop regstellende aksie en werkloosheid Suid-Afrikaners se geloofsbelewenis raak en besinning oor die proses van kerkvereniging in die NG Kerk-familie.
Daar is ook hoofstukke oor prediking en liturgie as uitdrukking van nadenke oor God en maniere waarop tot God gepraat word. Die wye verskeidenheid invalshoeke en onderwerpe maak van hierdie boek ’n interessante leeservaring vir sowel gewone lidmate as predikante en akademici.
EL CASO DE UN CIENTIFICO A FAVOR DE LA V IDA DESPUES DE LA MUERTE
Miles de personas han tenido experiencias cercanas a la muerte,
pero los cientificos han sostenido de que son imposibles. El doctor
Eben Alexander era uno de esos cientificos. Un neurocirujano
altamente entrenado, Alexander sabia que las experiencias cercanas
a la muerte se sienten reales, pero que simplemente son fantasias
producidas por el cerebro bajo un estres extremo.
Luego, el cerebro del propio doctor Alexander fue atacado por una
extrana enfermedad. La parte del cerebro que controla los
pensamientos y las emociones --y en esencia nos hace humanos-- se
le apago por completo. Estuvo en coma durante siete dias. Entonces,
mientras sus medicos consideraban parar su tratamiento, los ojos de
Alexander se abrieron. Volvio.
La recuperacion de Alexander es un milagro medico. Pero el
verdadero milagro de su historia yace en otro lugar. Mientras su
cuerpo estaba en coma, Alexander viajo mas alla de este mundo y se
encontro con un ser angelical que lo guio a los terrenos mas
profundos de la existencia suprafisica. Alla conocio a, y hablo
con, la fuente Divina del universo.
La historia de Alexander no es una fantasia. Antes de comenzar su
viaje, no podia reconciliar su conocimiento de la neurociencia con
ninguna creencia del cielo, Dios ni el alma. Hoy en dia, Alexander
es un medico que cree que la verdadera salud se puede adquirir solo
cuando nos damos cuenta de que Dios y el alma son reales y la
muerte no es el final de la existencia personal, sino solo una
transicion.
Esta historia seria extraordinaria sin importar a quien le haya
ocurrido. Que le haya ocurrido al doctor Alexander la hace
revolucionaria. Ningun cientifico ni persona de fe la podra
ignorar. Leerla te cambiara la vida.
