"Rediscovering the Beauty of Sabbath Rest"
Our bodies and souls were "created "to rest--regularly--and when
they do, we experience heightened productivity, improved health,
and more meaningful relationships.
In these pages you'll find wonderful stories of the senator's
spiritual journey, as well as special Sabbath experiences with
political colleagues such as Bill Clinton, Al and Tipper Gore, John
McCain, Colin Powell, George W. Bush, Bob Dole, and others. Senator
Joe Lieberman shows how his observance of the Sabbath has not only
enriched his personal and spiritual life but enhanced his career
and enabled him to serve his country to his greatest capacity.
You deserve to stop suffering because of what other people have done to
you.
Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of unresolved pain, playing
offenses over and over in your mind? You know you can't go on like
this, but you don't know what to do next. Lysa TerKeurst has wrestled
through this journey. But in surprising ways, she’s discovered how to
let go of bound-up resentment and overcome the resistance to forgiving
people who aren’t willing to make things right.
With deep empathy, therapeutic insight, and rich Bible teaching coming
out of more than 1,000 hours of theological study, Lysa will help you:
- Learn how to move on when the other person refuses to
change and never says they're sorry.
- Walk through a step-by-step process to free yourself from
the hurt of your past and feel less offended today.
- Discover what the Bible really says about forgiveness and
the peace that comes from living it out right now.
- Identify what's stealing trust and vulnerability from your
relationships so you can believe there is still good ahead.
- Disempower the triggers hijacking your emotions by
embracing the two necessary parts of forgiveness.
A new, but ancient, way to pray can turn your life around. Discover
how to experience God's love at your core, freeing you to love
others, and even yourself. When biblical scholar and coach Brian
Russell discovered centering prayer at a difficult crossroad in his
life, he had no idea how his life would change. "Sensing God's love
for me has been so transformational that it almost feels as though
I've experienced conversion all over again," he writes. He became
calmer, less anxious, less reactive, freed of past wounds, and a
better listener in the presence of others. Centering prayer, also
known as the prayer of silence, helps you quiet your mind from the
constant thoughts and impulses, and frees your true self to
experience more of God's love in the very core of your being. This
inviting guide gives you practical tools to make centering prayer a
consistent habit in your life, gives the history and theological
foundation for the practice, and helps identify and overcome common
obstacles. Beginners, as well as seasoned practitioners, will gain
inspiration, rich insight, and practical knowledge of a
contemplative prayer practice that can open you up to deep
experiences of inner healing and peace.
