Book excerpt: The place "where God happens," according to Rowan Williams's striking new reading of the Desert Fathers and Mothers, is between each other. It's a truth that we of the twenty-first century most urgently need to learn in order to heal the experience of alienation that has become endemic to our age, and these odd and appealing ancient figures, surprisingly, hold keys to this healing. The fourth-century Christian hermits of Egypt, Syria, and Palestine understood the truth of Christian community profoundly, and their lives demonstrate it vividly—even though they often lived in solitude and isolation. The author breaks through our preconceived ideas of the Desert Fathers to reveal them in a new light: as true and worthy role models—even for us in our modern lives—who have much to teach us about dealing with the anxieties, uncertainties, and sense of isolation that have become hallmarks of modern life. They especially embody valuable insights about community, about how to live together in an intimate and meaningful way. Williams makes these radical figures, who clearly have a special place in his heart, come to life in a new way for everyone. The book includes an appendix of selections from the teachings of the Desert Fathers.

Book Synopsis Beautiful Things Happen When a Woman Trusts God by : Sheila Walsh

Download or read book Beautiful Things Happen When a Woman Trusts God written by Sheila Walsh. This book was released on 2010-02-15. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you ever question God’s ability to catch you when you fall? Do shame, fear, and brokenness keep you from fully trusting God? Do you secretly believe your dreams are unreachable? Do you secretly believe your dreams are unreachable? You are not alone. This is a book about trust. How we fight it. How we learn to do it. How it transforms us. Life is not safe. That reality slips over us as we grow. Our response to the Father in that reality allows us either to swing higher and higher with the trust of a child . . . or fearfully shrink back from the swing set altogether. As we weigh that choice, God whispers: Trust me. In a remarkably transparent account, author and speaker Sheila Walsh opens wide her lifelong battle with trust and the moment-by-moment choices she made to follow where God led. Sheila has lived a life ruled by the “hidden places” of insecurity and brokenness and knows the overwhelming beauty of a life wholly handed over to Christ. As you encounter her struggles and triumphs, you also meet ten of the Bible’s transformed—Tabitha, David, Paul, and others—who teach us that in spite of overwhelming circumstances, just one trusting encounter with Christ sets beautiful things in motion. It can resurrect dreams, instill purpose, and ignite hope.

Book Synopsis When God Happens by : Gray Temple

Download or read book When God Happens written by Gray Temple. This book was released on 2001. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eyebrows raise. The tone is skeptical. "A liberal Charismatic? How can this be?" Gray Temple, who is a liberal Charismatic, answers the question simply: "When I fell into Spirit-baptism I was an ultraliberal-pacifist-theological-existentialist: I emerged an ultraliberal-pacifist-theological-existentialist who actively loved Jesus." But, though the answer is simple, living prayerfully through its implicit tensions is not. Temple explores the role of prayer in many emotional and physical settings: from prep school days through ordained ministry; from political activism to Fundamentalist church conferences; from a flourishing Atlanta parish to a harrowing trip through Asia, where the presence--and sometimes the absence--of God is utterly palpable. Gray Temple's writing is full of surprises. His eagerness to learn, his unflinching honesty, and his humor draw the reader toward a deeper awareness of the possibilities alive in personal encounters with the divine, the moments When God Happens.
