Book Synopsis Sacred Pathways by : Gary Thomas

Download or read book Sacred Pathways written by Gary Thomas. This book was released on 2020-09-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sacred Pathways reveals nine distinct spiritual temperaments--and their strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies--to help you improve your spiritual life and deepen your personal walk with God. It's time to strip away the frustration of a one-size-fits-all spirituality and discover a path of worship that frees you to be you. Experienced spiritual directors, pastors, and church leaders recognize that all of us engage with God differently, and it's about time we do too. In this updated and expanded edition of Sacred Pathways, Gary Thomas details nine spiritual temperaments and--like the Enneagram and other tools do with personality--encourages you to investigate the ways you most naturally express yourself in your relationship with God. He encourages you to dig into the traits, strengths, and pitfalls in your devotional approach so you can eliminate the barriers that keep you locked into rigid methods of worship and praise. Plus, as you begin to identify and understand your own temperament, you'll soon learn about the temperaments that aren't necessarily "you" but that may help you understand the spiritual tendencies of friends, family, and others around you. Whatever temperament or blend of temperaments best describes you, rest assured it's not by accident. It's by the design of a Creator who knew what he was doing when he made you according to his own unique intentions. If your spiritual walk is not what you'd like it to be, you can change that, starting here. Sacred Pathways will show you the route you were made to travel, marked by growth and filled with the riches of a close walk with God. A Sacred Pathways video Bible study is also available for group or individual use, sold separately.

Download or read book Transparency and Reflection written by Matthew Boyle. This book was released on 2024. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book argues that we misunderstand the importance of the topic of self-knowledge if we conceive of it merely as a puzzle about how we can know a special range of facts. Instead, we should regard it as an inducement to reflect on the nature of the relevant facts themselves, and of the kind of mind of which they hold. In this sense, the interest of the topic of self-knowledge is metaphysical rather than merely epistemological: its primary importance lies in the light it can shed on what our minds are, rather than just on how we come to know certain facts about them. Appreciating this point puts us in a position to see a link between debates about how we know our own minds and the dark but intriguing idea that Jean-Paul Sartre expressed in his remark that, for a human being, "to exist is always to assume its being" in a way that implies "an understanding of human reality by itself." An implication of thus Sartrean standpoint on self-awareness, I argue, is that our primary form of self-awareness must be transparent: its focus must be, not on ourselves, but on aspects of the non-mental world presented in a way that is informed by an implicit self-awareness. Nevertheless-as I go on to argue-we are necessarily capable of transforming this implicit self-awareness, through reflection, into an explicit understanding of ourselves and our own mental states"--

Download or read book Researching Critical Reflection written by Jan Fook. This book was released on 2015-10-05. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical reflection helps professionals to learn directly from their practice experience, so that they can improve their own work in an ongoing and flexible way – something essential in today’s complex and changing organisations. It allows change to be managed in a way which enables individuals to preserve a sense of what is fundamentally important to them as professionals. It is particularly important as it can also help make sense of some fundamental issues, and so also has implications for how we live our lives. However, more systematic research on critical reflection is needed to help us understand what works best for professionals in different settings. This timely work explores how critical reflection is researched, evaluated and used as a research method itself, with the aim of improving how it is taught and practised in a rigorous and transferable way. Developing a more comprehensive and multi-disciplinary view of the current state of critical reflection and the research directions which need to be taken, the book is divided into four parts. It: - Provides an overview of different perspectives on critical reflection and stimulates dialogue between them - Establishes some common platforms from which to develop further research directions - Identifies the major issues in evaluating critical reflection teaching, and main methods for doing so - Contributes to social science methodological innovations by exploring how methods based on critical reflection can be used for researching professional practice - Contains contributions from academics who are internationally known and highly experienced in different aspects of critical reflection. Researching Critical Reflection is an important reference for all students, practitioners, and researchers – including in the areas of education, management, health and social work – who engage with critical reflection to develop their practice.

Book excerpt: This book should open the eyes of the reader, so they might begin to identify the many hidden blessings they have received throughout their entire life and were never really aware of them. Using each of my personal reflections, to help by giving testimonial examples, will show the reader how to uncover their own hidden reflection treasures-blessings they had never identified before. We have so many blessing from God, but most of them never get uncovered or identified. When the reader begins to open their eyes, they too begin to see their personal hidden reflections, known as blessings. They will gain strength from the Holy Spirit, when they begin to realize God has been with them throughout their entire lives.Once the reader begins the process of uncovering their own personal hidden blessings, their trust and faith in God begins to grow even stronger. With this growing faith, the Holy Spirit gives the reader the peace of mind, the reduction of worry, less stress, and the confidence to know God is truly in control of their lives. When people can achieve the unconditional trust and faith knowing that God is in control of your life, how will that change the way they live?Toward the end of the book, the reader can reflect back on many of the hidden blessing in their past. They can begin to live each day going forward, knowing that no matter what happens (good or bad), everything will turn out OK. The reader will understand with clarity that someday they will be able to look back, after difficult times have passed, and realize it was again all a part of God's plan. When they do, they will again realize everything turned out to be another blessing in God's plan for their lives. Praise God!
