The Greatness of men are not based on struggling alone, neither on
their own idea nor effort; but only through the divine Grace of
GOD. It was consequently the grace of God that David was promoted
from been a Shepherd to a king. Each and every body desires to be
successful; but this success can only be obtained through the
divine power and Grace of the Almighty GOD. It is true that no body
wants to be identify with a poor man who is a failure. The desire
of every man is to be prosperous but only those that accepts GOD'S
word can enjoy "GOD' KINGDOM PROSPERITY
Ocean of Compassion: A Guide to the Life of Universal Loving
provides inspirational guidance for the cultivation of the
essential virtues necessary to live a life whose purpose is to
overcome our mistaken ways of acting and thinking and become a
Buddha for the benefit of all. It explains how to cultivate this
motivation, called Bodhichitta in Buddhism, and how to shape
universal loving into a truly transformational life through the
practice of the virtues of generosity, patience, effort, moral
discipline, concentration, and wisdom. Expressed in poetic form,
the book can help you change your thoughts, words, and actions so
as to live a meaningful life of service to others--one in which you
truly love your neighbor as yourself.
The Spirit of the Heart is a collection of poems with most written
during late 2012 through mid-2013. Each of them resulted from
personal thoughts and experiences and from studying God's Word.
Before writing down these words I processed them through my heart
to be blessed by the Holy Spirit. With the Holy Spirit dwelling in
the human heart, the heart opens up to the Truth of being. It takes
practice, patience and faith to hear and understand as the Holy
Spirit responds, conveys and directs the Truth through the magic of
the heart. My hope is that each reader will use these poems as a
guide and a catalyst to gain insight into the power and love of the
Holy Spirit, who was sent as a Comforter by the love and grace of
Jesus Christ.
The word of God is not designated to any one group or
nationality, but instead is available for all who wish to learn His
word and apply it to his or her daily life. Even better,
understanding the Bible does not require a degree in theology, but
simply an open heart and mind.
Uplifting and deeply moving, "Walking with God Is a Divine
Journey" shares ways to develop a closer relationship with God
through our life's experiences. Author Lisa Olivares Young explains
how, regardless of how your life began or how many mistakes you've
made, the promises of God are deeply rooted within us to seek the
life He so graciously desires for us.
Young uses personal anecdotes and biblical stories to illustrate
how God has worked in her life. She also explores the doubts,
fears, and perplexities she has endured in various life situations,
illustrating how she found comfort and guidance in the Bible and
through prayer. Each chapter touches upon a subject often
encountered in our walk with God, including learning from your
past;
overcoming life's challenges;
discovering your purpose;
taking the road less traveled.
Part memoir and part Bible study, "Walking with God Is a Divine
Journey" will help you develop your faith, understand God's love
and guidance, and listen to His correction, all by reading and
applying His word.
The greatest need of professing Christians today is a better,
deeper, and fuller knowledge of Christ. The Christian life can be
described as getting to know God better every day. Every Christian
should regularly?daily?read the Word of God. We should find time
for quiet time or personal devotion. For over 20 years I have been
using commentaries in my devotions. The blessings derived from the
commentaries is overwhelming. I am writing this commentary to share
some of those blessings and lessons I have learned over the years.
Following Alan Watts' acclaimed book on Zen Buddhism The Way of
Zen, he tackles the Chinese philosophy of Tao. The Tao is the way
of man's cooperation with the natural course of the natural world.
Alan Watts takes the reader through the history of Tao and its
interpretations by key thinkers such as Lao-Tzu, author of the Tao
Te Ching. Watts goes on to demonstrate how the ancient and timeless
Chinese wisdom of Tao promotes the idea of following a life lived
according to the natural world and goes against our goal-oriented
ideas by allowing time to quiet our minds and observe the world
rather than imposing ourselves on it. By taking in some of the
lessons of Tao, we can change our attitude to the way we live.
Drawing on ancient and modern sources, Watts treats the Chinese
philosophy of Tao in much the same way as he did Zen Buddhism in
his classic The Way of Zen. Including an introduction to the
Chinese culture that is the foundation of the Tao, this is one of
Alan Watts' best-loved works.
The renowned occult scholar Arthur Edward Waite left no stone
unturned when preparing this meticulously researched volume on the
life and works of the French mystic Louis Claude de Saint-Martin.
Drawing on contemporary biographies, correspondences, and all the
source materials that were available to him at the time, he put
together a biography and summary of Saint-Martin s work that is
still unsurpassed to this day. This edition is presented with
modernised typography and a new and expanded index.
For Sara, the loss of her husband, Peter, was unbearable. Soon
after he passed, Peter came to visit, taking her to various places
that only they could go. Her children, refusing to believe that she
was talking to him, assumed that she had dementia. She suffered a
fall, and from that time on never returned to her home.
But while recovering, Sara was able to travel beyond The Veil,
learning beautiful, heartfelt lessons that she was able to bring
back with her and pass on to her children. Peter takes Sara on a
journey both here and to the hereafter. Her life, and those of her
children, is never the same. She finds an abundance of peace and
serenity in a place that is timeless, where unconditional love
creates healing and comfort and where the ravages of dementia
cannot touch her.
Walking among the angels, Sara's desire is for everyone to know
the place, beyond The Veil.

This book deals about the Islamic Gnosticism and present a
comprehensive narrative about the Theoretical Gnosticism
(Irfan-e-Nazari). In accordance with Islamic Ideology the most
exalted aim of God and his divinely appointed prophets is the
training and guidance of human being in their spiritual journey
from earthly temporary abode towards the eternal God's
Celestial-Kingdom. The main contents of the book as mentioned
earlier are the etiquette and instructions of Gnostic journey, ways
and manners of servitude, detailed descriptions of deeds and
worships that must be performed by a wayfarer, and what sort of
behaviors and restrictions they must practice in order to attain
the desired results. The book consists of preface and three parts
covering the following topics: Self-purification, Human Virtues,
What to be?, Heart in Qur'an, Hard-heartedness, Self-refinement,
Self-struggle, Egotism, Worldliness, Piety, Characteristics of the
Pious, Repentance or Self-Cleansing, Training and Perfection of
Self, Faith, Means of Achieving Perfection and God's Nearness,
Invocations, Instructions, Obstacles of the Path, Nourishment of
Moral Virtues, Righteous Deeds etc. The most prevalent
misunderstanding about Islamic Mysticism which must be clarified is
that relinquishment of worldly involvement, seclusion, and
monasticism are not prerequisites for undertaking a spiritual
migration towards God-Almighty; on the contrary, as it would be
shown in the later part of this book, Islam demands from its
followers that while living among the people a normal social life
discharging the individual and collective obligations, they
shouldn't be negligent of their own selves and must pay special
attention towards their spiritual purification.
