Prayer is foundational to the Christian life, but many people
donaEURO (TM)t understand it. What is it for? How does it work? Why
do we do it? This short and accessible book explains what prayer
is, why it exists and how it can encourage us in our life of faith.
Written by a pastor with years of teaching and counselling
experience, Why We Pray doesnaEURO (TM)t simply tell readers why
they should pray, but instead focuses on four blessing-filled
reasons that will help us want to pray. Rather than feeling
discouraged and disheartened by our inconsistency in prayer, we
feel reinvigorated to approach God with confidence and joy,
delighted by the privilege of talking directly to our heavenly
Father.
Taiz?--the word is strangely familiar to many throughout the
contemporary church. Familiar, perhaps, because the chanted prayers
of Taiz? are well practiced in churches throughout the world.
Strangely, however, because so little is known about Taiz?--from
its historic beginnings to how the word itself is pronounced. The
worship of the Taiz? community, as it turns out, is best understood
in the context of its greater mission. On the day Jason Brian
Santos arrived in the Taiz? community its leader was brutally
murdered before his eyes. Instead of making Santos want to leave,
the way the community handled this tragedy made him long to stay
and learn more about this group of people who could respond to such
evil with grace and love. In this book he takes us on a tour of one
of the world's first ecumenical monastic orders, from its monastic
origins in the war-torn south of 1940s France to its emerging
mission as a pilgrimage site and spiritual focal point for millions
of young people throughout the world. InA Community Called Taiz?
you'll meet the brothers of the order and the countless visitors
and volunteers who have taken upon themselves a modest mission:
pronouncing peace and reconciliation to the church and the world.

2013 Catholic Press Award Winner What can we learn from early
Christian imagery about the theological meaning of baptism? Robin
Jensen, a leading scholar of early Christian art and worship,
examines multiple dimensions of the early Christian baptismal rite.
She explores five models for understanding baptism--as cleansing
from sin, sickness, and Satan; as incorporation into the community;
as sanctifying and illuminative; as death and regeneration; and as
the beginning of the new creation--showing how visual images,
poetic language, architectural space, and symbolic actions signify
and convey the theological meaning of this ritual practice.
Considering image and action together, Jensen offers a holistic and
integrated understanding of the power of baptism. The book is
illustrated with photos.
Outreach 2022 Recommended Resource (Spiritual Growth) All fruitful
doing must begin with being. For many Christians, it's easy to be
swept up into the fast pace of modern life, desiring to do much for
God. But we struggle to slow down and be with God. According to
pastor, Enneagram teacher, and author AJ Sherrill, being with God
is what empowers doing for God. Sherrill shares his own journey
from "busy" Christianity to the ancient paths of contemplative
practices. He equips readers to integrate rhythms of stillness,
silence, and solitude, offering step-by-step guidance and examples
of finding solitude both personally and on retreats. Sherrill warns
that making these changes appears absurd in a society where time is
money, productivity is central, and hurry is a way of life. He
guides readers gently through the beginning and often confusing
stages of contemplative practice. Citing timely insights from the
world of neurology and mental health, he shows that solitude is
crucial not only for Christian growth but also for holistic
flourishing. Foreword by Rich Villodas. Readers will emerge,
centered in Christ, well on their way to this goal: slow down, pay
attention, be still, and be loved.
The book of Revelation is exciting! Yet, too many today think it to
be boring and hard to understand! I think it is just the opposite.
If you take the book from a literal perspective, the "unveiling"
fits, and it creates a perfect panorama of man's final days. long
with the text, I have created a practical application for our lives
today. Revelation is relevant, and it permeates the reader with
God's last word to mankind.....His Son Jesus Christ! The final
invitation alone is worth the time spent to enjoy the "book."
The face of the divine feminine can be found everywhere in Mexico.
One of the most striking features of Mexican religious life is the
prevalence of images of the Virgin Mother of God. This is partly
because the divine feminine played such a prominent role in
pre-Hispanic Mexican religion. Goddess images were central to the
devotional life of the Aztecs, especially peasants and those living
in villages outside the central city of Tenochtitlan (present day
Mexico City). In these rural communities fertility and fecundity,
more than war rituals and sacrificial tribute, were the main focus
of cultic activity. Both Aztec goddesses and the Christian Madonnas
who replaced them were associated, and sometimes identified, with
nature and the environment: the earth, water, trees and other
sources of creativity and vitality. This book uncovers the myths
and images of 22 Aztec Goddesses and 28 Christian Madonnas of
Mexico. Their rich and symbolic meaning is revealed by placing them
in the context of the religious worldviews in which they appear and
by situating them within the devotional life of the faithful for
whom they function as powerful mediators of divine grace and
terror.
