"Mother Maria is a saint of our day and for our day; a woman of
flesh and blood possessed by the love of God, who stood face to
face with the problems of this century."--Anthony (Bloom),
Metropolitan of Sourozh Mother Maria Skobtsova (1891-1945) has
emerged as one of the most fascinating religious figures of the
twentieth century. As an Orthodox nun in Paris her home was at once
a soup kitchen for the needy, a center for the renewal of Orthodox
thought, and---under Nazi occupation---a haven for the rescue of
Jews. For the latter cause she ended her life in a concentration
camp. Like Dorothy Day, her writings reflect her deep commitment to
the gospel mandate that unites love of God and love of neighbor.
The introduction is by Jim Forest, secretary of the Orthodox Peace
Fellowship, and author of many books including Praying with Icons
and Confession: Doorway to Forgiveness
A Quaker mystic and social activist, Rufus Jones won a Nobel Prize
as co-founder of the American Friends Service Committee. Widely
considered one of the most significant religious voices in America
at the time of his death in 1948, his writings impart an Emersonian
vision of the ever-present reality of God in our souls and in our
world. Indeed, his quintessentially American "affirmative
mysticism" infuses all contemporary spirituality and offers an
uplifting, positive, and powerful message today.
Elisabeth Elliot plots the treacherous passage through pain, grief,
and loss, a journey most of us will make many times in our life.
Through it all, she says, there is only one reliable path, and if
you walk it, you will see the transformation of all your losses,
heartbreaks, and tragedies into something strong and purposeful. In
this powerful book, Elisabeth Elliot does not hesitate to ask hard
questions, to examine tenderly the hurts we suffer, and to explore
boldly the nature of God whose sovereign care for us is so intimate
and perfect that he confounds our finite understanding. A Path
through Suffering is a book for anyone searching for faith,
comfort, and assurance. Includes a new foreword by Joni Eareckson
Tada.
The general understanding of dA (c)jA vu is this: DA (c)jA vu, from
French, literally "already seen", is the phenomenon of having the
strong sensation that an event or experience currently being
experienced has been experienced in the past, whether it has
actually happened or not. So how would you feel if five years of
your life flashes in front of your eyes in a space of five minutes
or your dreams come to life in the same week? Samuel, I have been
in situations where dA (c)jA vu was so clear, I was not sure
whether I was dreaming or living.
We can't let man determine our happiness and our worth, we have to
trust in only God. Man says we are nothing, but God says we are big
people. In this encouraging book, Tarupiwa brings you a message of
hope and comfort. When faced with abuse, rejection and demotion,
this book will give you lessons on how you can survive and thrive
in such situations. YES, man can turn you down, but not with God,
he will bring you up, and make you enter your destiny. This
powerful book contains the secrets of your promotion by God, after
man has demoted you. With Biblical characters, Tarupiwa helps
readers to see beyond the hate, abuse, rejection or demotion and
focus on God's love. We see David, Daniel, Job, Mordecai, Joseph,
Shadrach, Mishack and Abednego, then Jesus, our Lord and Savior. We
see how they were demoted by man then later promoted by God, and we
learn a lot from their experiences. Be blessed as you read this
book!!!
This book reveals what heaven expects from the church. It reveals
what Jesus meant by I will build my church. It is not a critique
but a standard of spiritual measurement and divine alignment as to
the definition of a true church. The true church (The Ekklesia) is
not a denominational gathering of any kind, whether orthodox,
charismatic or pentecostal. The true church is one, which has
placed primacy on building the dispensational temple (the man) only
according to God s pattern. This book will be a great eye opener
for you. You will no longer strive in the flesh any more after
going through this book. The issue of competition, comparison,
sense of inferiority and superiority complex, which are some of the
distraction and strategies of the enemy, will be exposed. Your work
and ministry with God will never remain the same. You can't read
this book and still retain your old mentality and operating system.
Whatever you are building for the Lord from now on shall be to the
Lord's glory and according to his specifications. Personal agenda
will be given up. Deeper truths and insights are made available
inside this book.."
The Dead-Living Church'' re-defines the concept of church (the true
Ekklesia), her global positioning and her responsibilities
according to the original intent of God. Jesus' declaration in
Matthew 16, I will build my church and the gates of Hell shall not
prevail against it far outweighs the theological assumptions and
religious beliefs about what church is supposed to be. This book is
not a product of professionalism; it is a prophetic release by the
Spirit of the living God. The Church is not a denominational
gathering of religious people, but the Ekklesia, the people called
for an assignment, the assembly of legislating on behalf of God on
earth. This book will take you through a journey. Its intent
assuredly will awaken your spirit man to experience a paradigm
shift from Churchianity to that which is God s original intention."
