Many Christians are locked in a cycle of addiction, particularly in
the areas of alcohol and drug abuse. Adapting his successful Steps
to Freedom in Christ, Dr. Neil Anderson has provided an alternative
model of recovery for substance and alcohol abusers--a model that
has also freed hundreds of thousands struggling with other kinds of
addictions. But the devil doesn't give up easily. So to further
help recovering addicts still struggling with temptation, there is
the One Day at a Time devotional. Here are inspirational readings
that reinforce the Steps to Freedom and encourage those on the road
to recovery. This product is for those who want to break free from
a debilitating lifestyle of addiction, and for pastors and
counselors to use with their clients.
Ibn 'Arabi (1165-1240) has long been known as a great spiritual
master. His many works of prose and poetry are beginning to be more
accessible in translation in Western languages. They possess the
remarkable quality of being able to speak to people of all walks of
life and belief, across the apparent barrier of many centuries and
differing cultures. Despite this growing interest, the prayers
which are attributed to him remain little-known. They provide a
most precious glimpse into the real practice of the mystical life
within the Sufi tradition. This is the first time that any of Ibn
'Arabi's prayers have been published in another language. This
particular collection is one of the most beautiful, having been
revered in the Islamic world for centuries. There are fourteen
prayers, one for each day and night of the week. They include not
only the most astounding expressions of contemplation and devotion
to God, but also an unparalleled depth of knowledge of Union
(tawhid). As the translators show in their introduction, the very
structure of the prayers is a mode of contemplation, since for Ibn
'Arabi the weekly cycle itself is sacred. These prayers are
presented with notes and appendices.
