Beschreibung

Whether we know it or not, we all have family members or friends who are fighting hidden battles of doubt, alienation, isolation, guilt, compulsions, grief, or hopelessness. But often we don’t know exactly how to offer the Good News of Jesus to them in these struggles—at least not beyond offering our “thoughts and prayers.” Mission-Ready Friendship is a roadmap for how to truly befriend your friends, not by solving their problems for them but by going deeper to become the friend Jesus created you to be.  Jason J. Simon grew up in a faithful home but wandered into darkness through his high school and college years. For years, he struggled with shame and despair until Chip, a guy he met while eating donuts after Mass, noticed that darkness and disrupted it by being an intentional, thoughtful friend. This relationship changed Simon’s life and eventually inspired him to lead the Evangelical Catholic, a national organization dedicated to helping people discover how God is already at work in the lives of our innermost circle.  This book spells out simple and incremental practices any Catholic can use to develop deeper, more purposeful friendships. You will learn how to  become more invested, curious, and empathetic toward others;  pray for the people God has placed in your life;  be ready for the ways God is prompting you to build deeper friendships; and  bring intentionality to your relationships to accompany them closer to God.     Jesus himself used these practices with his followers and sent each of them to use mission-ready friendship to share his good news with others. It’s a simple but powerful approach to relationships that promises to change lives, including your own.

    In her quest to live a vibrant spiritual life, Karen Wright Marsh had a revelation: she didn't need to find and follow the perfect plan; she needed people she could follow. 
     
    In Wake Up to Wonder, Marsh introduces you to those people--faithful yet oh-so-human Christians from across centuries and cultures. Inspired by their example, she offers playful, simple practices that bring deeper meaning and purpose to everyday life. 
     
    In the company of diverse spiritual companions, you'll journey through physical health, prayer, activism, Scripture reading, creativity, and beyond. Each chapter includes hands-on invitations such as writing prompts, space for personal reflection, and "Try This," a collage of spiritual and personal experiments anyone can do. 
     
    As you wake up to wonder, you'll discover what these twenty-two historical figures already knew: that a life of spiritual depth, amazement, and connection is within reach--today and every day.

    To seek, pursue, and fall in love with Jesus with radical abandon. 
    Single Woman Mandy Hale shares with readers what can happen in their lives by praying this powerful prayer. She has shown women how important it is to be secure in singleness by being smart, strong, and independent. In this all new book, she will prompt readers to never settle and not miss out on the beauty that can be found in times of “waiting.” The Single Woman Says: 
    “Whether you’re idling in stubborn sinfulness or walking in seeming never-ending singleness or living with any sort of waiting: Waiting for love, waiting for babies, waiting for marriage, waiting for a cure, or a miracle, or a sign, or for GOD . . . I hope my journey will make the wait a little easier and the uncertainty a little bit more beautiful.” 
    Starting with relationships, but going beyond into areas like career, friendships, and life, Mandy will guide readers through what you can achieve if you look beyond your current circumstances, never settle for less than what God has for you, and find beauty in the waiting.

    When a mother loses a baby, a depth of grief emerges unlike anything else. Confusion, frustration, and heartbreak overwhelm her mind. A questioning and wrestling with God unfolds, and she must learn how to navigate her life that is now forever changed. 
     
     
     
    This was the story of Rachel Dickey, a registered nurse who tragically lost her son at eighteen weeks gestation. Having faced this overwhelming grief, she speaks directly to listeners about her firsthand experiences and encourages moms to look to the truth of Scripture as they navigate their loss. 
     
     
     
    Looking for answers, Rachel began an in-depth study of what the Bible says regarding the life of the unborn, answering critical questions like, "When does life begin?", "Did God love my unborn baby?", and "Is my baby in heaven?" 
     
     
     
    A Water Lily among the Wildflowers teaches what the Bible says about these questions and many of the other questions grieving mothers have regarding this loss. Rachel notes how men and women grieve differently and offers tools to keep a marriage and relationship strong. She also addresses the wounding impact that other people have, taking a look at some of the hurtful statements many hear grieving the loss of their babies.

    Everyone knows that meditation is good for us. Every doctor, psychologists, fitness teacher and even your friends and neighbors tell you so. Maybe, you yourself are practicing meditation for long. 
    Despite the increased popularity of meditation practices, the modern meditation systems primarily focusing on psychological and physical well-being are only partially successful. Moreover, very few meditation practitioners aim at attaining self-awareness or the status of super consciousness.  
     The Author emphasizes that physical and mental health are only additional benefits, or byproducts of meditation and the aim should be much higher. For this, we need to understand the original meditation systems explained in traditional gems of books, including Patanjali Yog Sutra, Vedas, and Upanishads.  
    Meditation is second stage of Internal part of Yoga. It needs successful completion and control of earlier six stages. Currently, most of the Yoga gurus, in order to simplify the process, do not stress on this requirement.  
    While five internal parts of the Yoga (Yama, Niyama, Aasan, Pranayam and Pratihar) may be practiced outside, or among a group; there is need to perform the three internal stages of Dharana, Dhyan (Meditation) and Samadhi in a secluded place. 
    Result is that we get a fast food type Meditation, mostly ignoring basic stages and stopping at the Pratyahar stage providing mental calmness and health benefits. 
    Very few reach the Meditation stage and then goal of meditation, i.e., attaining the stage of super consciousness is forgotten. 
    The book explains the process in very simple way. The series of books also expounds the 32 Brahm Vidyas, wisdom extracted from major Upanishads. We find eleven such wisdom here in first part of the book, ideal starting point for meditation.

    Before the commandments and the wilderness… there was a promise. 
    The Moses Chronicles: Prelude opens the door to a world poised on the edge of destiny. As the patriarch Jacob draws his final breath, his sons gather in Egypt—carrying secrets, guilt, and fragile hopes for the future. In this deeply human retelling of Genesis 49 and 50, the legacy of Joseph and the rift among his brothers set the stage for the Exodus long before Moses is born. 
    This is the story of what came before:Joseph, mourning his father while defending the family that once betrayed himAsenath, navigating her dual role as Egyptian noble and Hebrew matriarchDinah, finally stepping into healing and unexpected redemptionEphraim and Manasseh, caught between privilege and prophecy 
    Through palace whispers, tribal tension, secret plots, and unexpected acts of grace, The Moses Chronicles: Prelude traces the emotional and political fault lines that shape the world Moses will inherit. 
    Written with reverence and resonance, this is the story before the staff struck the Nile. The story before the sea parted. 
    This is the story before the basket on the Nile. 
     The quiet before slavery.
