What does healthy male spirituality look like? In From Wild Man to
Wise Man, Father Richard Rohr explores masculinity and what it
means to be a Christian man, offering a reflective and helpful
guide to lead men to understand their wilderness as path to God's
wisdom. Drawing on the four archetypes of masculinity, as well as
Biblical examples, he explores what men need in order to develop a
healthy, balanced male spirituality throughout their faith journey.
He covers topics such as unresolved grief, expression of emotion
and the stage of a man's life, offering an honest and compassionate
structure to help men grow in their spirituality. From Wild Man to
Wise Man is a book for any man wanting to explore the masculine
side of his spirituality in a balanced way. It will be helpful for
older men wanting to engage more deeply or in a new way with their
spirituality, and for younger men just starting out on their
journey of faith. It also includes an appendix with a structure for
the book to be used by small groups. For anyone questioning what it
means to be a man in our society today, From Wild Man to Wise Man
will leave you with a nuanced, thoughtful understanding of male
spirituality and a fresh perspective on modern masculinity and
identity.
Michael Savage is learned in many walks of science and respects
much of it as much as he respects his religion but he will talk
conclusively of the existence of God and the necessity of faith in
our nation.
Politics will have to be touched on because the left is
quite simply at war with God, and Savage believes they are
jeopardizing our very existence by removing references to religion
from many areas of American life.
Internationally renowned motivational teacher and popular
theologian Caroline Myss has created a transcendent work of unique
insight and revelation in Entering the Castle. A highly original
inner path to self-knowledge, the Castle is also the road to
spiritual knowledge of God and your own soul. In fact the soul is
your spiritual castle and doing interior soul work helps you find
your path in the world.
Teresa of Avila's vision of the soul as a beautiful crystal
castle with many mansions, and many rooms within those mansions, is
the template for this modern spiritual journey on which you meet
different aspects of your self and spirit and prepare for the
ultimate encounter with God and your own divinity. Seven stages of
intense practices and methods of spiritual inquiry develop your
personal powers of prayer, contemplation, and intuition, which in
turn reinforce your interior castle and build a soul of strength
and stamina.With stories and inspiration from mystics of all
traditions, Entering the Castle is a comprehensive guide for the
journey of your life -- a journey into the center of your soul.
There, peace, God, and a fearless joy wait for you to discover
them...and claim them for your own.
In this grave hour, we long to experience the embrace of infinite
love from our Father in heaven. The importance of this great need
is owing to an avalanche of problems that are now confronting us.
We are hateful, lonely, hurting, scared, and confused. The cruelty
in our culture has reached a state of emergency. Our generation has
experienced the painful revelations of widespread abuse in
leadership. At every turn we have come up short. No matter what we
do the trouble persists and the fear remains. More connected than
ever, but more divided, we cannot help but see a longing in
ourselves and our neighbors for relationship, shared truth, and
clarity of purpose. In the face of animosity, failure, isolation,
and betrayal is a love that speaks to our greatest longings and
heaviest needs, but have we taken God's love for granted? Now more
than ever, and more than anything, people need to find their way
into the compassionate embrace of their Father in heaven. The Great
Love of God provides an accessible, passionate exploration of how
the divine love casts out fear, provides ultimate hope, and never
fails.
