First published in 1937, Letters by a Modern Mystic is a
compilation of excerpts from letters Christian missionary Frank C.
Laubach wrote to his father. Within them, Laubach shares his
findings of the greatest experiment of his life: attempting to live
in moment-by-moment communication with God. Short, simple and
extraordinarily powerful, this little book offers a profoundly
challenging but life-changing way of living. Laubach's letters are
thoughtful and honest, documenting his failings and struggles with
this spiritual discipline - but also showing the joy, wonder and
transformation he experienced by connecting with God and living in
communion with him every minute of the day. Easy to read and full
of wisdom, Letters by a Modern Mystic is essential reading for
anyone seeking to deepen their connection with God or wanting to
make their spiritual formation part of their everyday life. With a
foreword by Pete Grieg show its continued relevance for today, it
will challenge you to see that it is possible to live in communion
with God in every moment and change the way you approach your
faith. Included at the back of this book is 'The Game with
Minutes', the practical guide Laubach developed to assist others in
applying the principles and spiritual practices in his letters. It
is a game that has transformed countless lives - and it is time for
a new generation to play.
In Celtic Spirituality, acclaimed translator and scholar Philip
Freeman allows the voices of the Celts to speak once more. Though
the Celtic civilization has long disappeared, lingering traces of
their spirituality haunt Ireland and the surrounding land.
Tantalizing snippets of faded manuscript pages, ancient stone
carvings, and spells from the mystery-shrouded Druids have sparked
the imagination of generations of modern seekers. Translated from
their original languages--Gaulish, Latin, Irish, and Welsh--the
passages and stories in Celtic Spirituality are true artifacts of
the Celts' vibrant and varied religion from both the pre-Christian
and early Christian period. From a ritual of magical inspiration to
stories of the ancient gods and adventures of long-forgotten
heroes, Freeman has unearthed a stunning collection of Celtic work.
The translation is accessible to the modern reader, but maintains
the beauty and vibrancy of the original. Celtic Spirituality
includes material that has never been translated before, offering a
new glimpse into the wisdom and wild magic of the Celts.
"One day a group of young people will escape the Sorcerers of
Teletsia and travel to a land in the far north to gain subtle inner
power which will enable them to free their fellow country people
from the evil that has held them in a stranglehold for so
long."Based on the timeless tales of India, this colourful and
evocative fantasy novel weaves a narrative that will entertain and
delight the reader whilst simultaneously touching on the essentials
of daily life; of the struggles each of us faces; and of the
journey to inner enlightenment. A fantasy indeed, yet firmly
encapsulated in reality.
Many Christians believe God can do anything, but they don't
understand the completion of His plan through Jesus' death, burial,
and resurrection. It is in the discovery of what God has already
done, that our walk with Him becomes a joy and an adventure! Jesus'
sacrifice on the cross was great. He exchanged His perfect life and
all the power of heaven for our sins, our weaknesses. Through Him
our eternal destiny is set. Yet in our day-to-day lives, It seems
that we still deal with so many challenges - sickness, financial
struggles, difficult relationships, our own shortcomings. Is it
possible to walk in victory in this life? Andrew Wommack reveals
powerful truths in this practical view of the work of Jesus
Christ-truths that are life changing. Readers will learn how Jesus'
death, burial, and resurrection not only paid for their eternal
salvation, but gave them everything they need for abundant life
right here, right now. Andrew encourages readers to avoid being
like the "dog constantly chasing his tail, not realizing he already
has it." As readers begin to understand the extent of the work on
the cross, their walk with God will be renewed and their life in
Christ will become an adventure beyond anything they ever though
possible! Wommack approaches faith from a no-nonsense and unique
perspective in that he challenges the reader to evaluate their idea
of faith in God. Written along the same lines as Kenneth Hagin's
How to Turn Your Faith Loose and Right and Wrong Thinking, Wommack
goes a step further by revealing the erroneous teachings that
encourage believers to beg for God's help. Instead he shows that
Jesus already finished His work when He was resurrected and now
it's the believer'sresponsibility and privilege to enforce that
victory against the powers of darkness.
What happens after you die? What is Heaven like? What do angels do?
This book describes the visions of many believers including General
William Booth the founder of the Salvation Army.
For the first time, Etty Hillesum's diary and letters appear
together to give us the fullest possible portrait of this
extraordinary woman. In the darkest years of Nazi occupation and
genocide, Etty Hillesum remained a celebrant of life whose lucid
intelligence, sympathy, and almost impossible gallantry were
themselves a form of inner resistance. The adult counterpart to
Anne Frank, Hillesum testifies to the possibility of awareness and
compassion in the face of the most devastating challenge to one's
humanity. She died at Auschwitz in 1943 at the age of twenty-nine.
