Find Peace in Advent! - 4 Weeks to Worrying Less at Christmas

Gary Zimak

Beschreibung

Is it really possible to find peace during one of the busiest and stress-filled times of the year? Catholic author and self-described “recovering worrier” Gary Zimak offers a practical, scripture-based approach to Advent so we can make room for Jesus in our chaotic, busy, and fast-paced lives.  While most Catholics have an awareness of Lenten practices, we often don’t know what to do during Advent—even if we know both seasons are times of preparation. On top of this, the holiday season arrives with its own busy rhythms with family and friends. Many of us know that Advent is supposed to be a special season, but we are so pre-occupied with getting ready for the holidays that we fail to benefit from it. Find Peace in Advent! will enable you to deepen your relationship with Jesus and find peace during one of the most stressful times of the year. This book, which uses a similar approach to the bestselling Give Up Worry for Lent!, requires only a few minutes of reading each day and helps you grow closer to Jesus and experience the peace that only he can give. The daily readings and reflections are easy to digest and connect to the daily Mass readings and the rhythm of the Advent season. With each entry, Zimak guides you to ponder foundational truths of faith and apply them to your own life with four simple steps:  Read  Reflect  Respond  Pray     As you continue to meditate on scripture and practice the simple action steps at the end of each reflection, you will find it easier to let go of your stress and worries and instead take small steps to deepen your relationship with God and make him the center of your life.  There is no better time to seek interior peace than Advent, which is a time to prepare to celebrate the many ways Jesus reaches into our lives. This four-week process is more than a survival guide to a busy season—it is a journey by which we learn to walk with Jesus, the one who guides our feet onto the path of peace.

The Last Human to Read the Bible...

David Goode

Professional studio audio readings of The Holy Bible, without music or drama, so you can experience the scripture as written. 
With AI tools flooding the market, anyone with a keyboard can now slap in text, click a button, and download a convincing-sounding voice over. Considering The King James Bible is nearly 800,000 words in length, producing over 72 hours of finished audio, it requires a Samsonian effort and a lot of hours to record, edit, proofread, master and produce. 
But we did it. The old-fashioned way - with a real, live human. No music, no drama. Just pure scripture, as written, word for word. 
Enjoy, and may your life be filled with peace!

Leviticus - Old Testament

Christopher Glyn

Throughout Leviticus, Israel remains encamped at Mount Sinai while God appears in the Tent of Meeting, dictating to Moses his specifications regarding the Jewish ceremonial laws. The laws are extremely detailed, outlining every aspect of how and when religious offerings are to be presented to God. God gives the instructions himself, and his voice comprises the majority of the text. A brief narrative interlude describes the anointing of Aaron and his sons as Israel’s priests. At the ceremony, God appears and engulfs the altar in a burst of flames, eliciting shouts of joy from the people. Soon after, God also sends fire to consume two of Aaron’s sons when they neglect to make the right preparations for approaching the altar.
