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.
Each day’s reading includes teaching and encouragement, a Scripture reading from both the Old and New Testaments, and a thought for the day to draw you closer to God the Father and His purposes for you. Explore the nature and role of men as God intended, addressing such issues as: What does the Bible really teach about men and women? What does it mean to be male? What are the purpose and design of the man? How is a man uniquely different from a woman? What is a man’s role as a husband and father? What are a man’s sexual needs? How are men and women meant to relate to one another? How can a man build a better life for himself, his family, and the world?
Through this devotional, you can strengthen your relationship with your heavenly Father as you discover how to fulfill your destiny and potential as an integral part of His eternal purposes.
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.
