'A brilliant introduction to prayer' Richard Rohr, Author of
Everything Belongs One of America's most beloved spiritual leaders
and the New York Times bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to
(Almost) Everything and Jesus: A Pilgrimage teaches anyone to
converse with God in this comprehensive guide to prayer. 'What do
we need to learn? That prayer changes us-and so changes the world
we live in; that God is always there before us; that it's God's
action that makes the difference. Practical, comprehensive, and
above all God-centered, this book is a deeply valuable companion
for growing in faith.' Rowan Williams, former Archbishop of
Canterbury In The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything, Father James
Martin included a chapter on communicating with God. Now, he
expands those thoughts in this profound and practical handbook.
Learning to Pray explains what prayer is, what to expect from
praying, how to do it, and how it can transform us when we make it
a regular practice in our lives. A trusted guide walking beside us
as we navigate our unique spiritual paths, Martin lays out the
different styles and traditions of prayer throughout Christian
history and invites us to experiment and discover which works best
to feed our soul and build intimacy with our Creator. Father Martin
makes clear there is not one secret formula for praying. But like
any relationship, each person can discover the best style for
building an intimate relationship with God, regardless of religion
or denomination. Prayer, he teaches us, is open and accessible to
anyone willing to open their heart.

Fill the Gap! contains 120 easy-to-play Bible-based games with
little or no preparation needed - perfect for picking straight off
the shelf! The ideas are designed to help local churches fill up
those awkward gaps of time in Sunday schools, midweek clubs,
holiday clubs, after school clubs and children's camps. The games
are divided equally across the Old Testament and the New Testament
and offer a fun-filled way to reinforce a teaching point or help
children unfamiliar with Bible stories. There are two games for
each story, one aimed at 4-7s and the other at 7-11s, but many of
the games can be modified slightly to make them appropriate for
older or younger children to take part. Most of the games are
suitable for both smaller and larger groups of children and many
can be easily adapted to fit different Bible stories, allowing
favourite games to be used again with a different emphasis.
Using Josef Pieper's Leisure as a point of departure, the
contributors to this volume share a mutual concern for the
diminishing role of the liberal arts in Catholic higher education.
The overwhelming impression they share is that U.S. Catholic
universities, with notable exceptions, have forgotten the very goal
of university education, and especially Catholic university
education: to aid in forming young men and women to pursue the
truth and helping them to become freer persons.
This revised edition of the best-selling 2006 title now includes
end-of-chapter questions for the readers as well as updated
material sprinkled throughout to reflect what has occurred in the
past 10-years in the church and world. The Five Marks of Mission
and what it means to be a disciple of Christ will be a focus of
this new version, which also models student-centered learning as
opposed to teacher-driven instruction. For teen study and
confirmation preparation, this book can serve as a curriculum for
helping teens discover Scripture, church history, sacraments, the
meaning and practice of prayer, and what ministry means in the
lives of real teens today. A framework for small-group gatherings
for each chapter is included as a new section in the back of the
book. Bestseller revision to release in time for Confirmation
season and in advance of the 2015 General Convention of the
Episcopal Church Includes study guide questions, plus a new
companion Leader's Guide Foreword by Dr. Lisa Kimball, Virginia
Theological Seminary
This volume brings together the work of a wide range of scholars to
explore the long and complex history of the relationships between
churches and education. Christianity has always been involved in
education, from the very earliest teaching of those about to be
baptised, to present-day churches' involvement in schools and
higher education. Christianity has a core theological concern for
teaching, discipleship and formation, but the dissemination of
Christian ideas and positions has not necessarily been an
explicitly didactic process. Educational projects have served not
only to support but also to question and even reconfigure
particular versions of the Christian message, and the recipients of
education have also both received and subverted the teaching
offered. Under the editorship of Morwenna Ludlow, this volume
explores the ways in which churches have sought to educate,
catechise and instruct the clergy and laity, adults and children,
men and women, boys and girls.
You pray it. But do you understand it? The Lord's Prayer has become
so familiar to us that we don't think about what we're praying.
It's a portrait of Jesus' heart. And in it Christians from
different times, places, and traditions have been united. We pray
it, but do we actually believe it? When Jesus taught his followers
how to pray, he emphasized how uncomplicated it should be. There's
no need for pretense or theatrics. Instead, simply ask for what you
need as though you were speaking with your earthly father. This
opens a window into Jesus' prayer life and presents us with a
portrait of his heart for his followers. Wesley Hill re-introduces
the Lord's Prayer. He shows us a God who is delighted to hear
prayer. Petition by petition, in conversation with the Christian
tradition, he draws out the significance of Jesus' words for prayer
today.

Der Autor erforscht die Anwendungsdynamiken des islamischen Rechts
(fiqh) in wandelnden Kontexten anhand der Werke von Hayreddin
Karaman, einem beruhmten islamischen Rechtsgelehrten in der Turkei.
Dabei analysiert er die Entwicklungen chronologisch seit dem Beginn
in der Prophetenperiode und die wissenschaftlichen Entfaltungen der
Nachfolgezeit bis in die sakulare Postmoderne. Anhand der
diachronischen Forschungsmethode untersucht der Autor die
innovative fiqh-Anwendung bei Karaman und zeigt seine Methode auf.
Es geht hierbei um die Anknupfung an die Tradition und die daraus
gewonnene Innovation in ihrem wissenschaftlich-argumentativen
Diskurs. Auf kritischer Grundlage begegnet Karaman den
Herausforderungen eines innovativen Aufschwungs in der sakularen
Postmoderne.
