José Luis Stevens

Beschreibung

Building on his decades-long training in and teaching of shamanism and other spiritual traditions, José Luis Stevens, PhD, offers fifty-eight simple but extraordinarily effective rituals and practices that can bring about profound spiritual growth. The Shaman’s Book of Extraordinary Practices is a rare treasure chest of transformative meditations and exercises.  A Shaman’s Toolkit for Spiritual Transformation   “What if,” asks José Luis Stevens, “I told you that profound transformation doesn’t require years of intense spiritual practice? That positive change can happen through simple, daily rituals?” The Shaman’s Book of Extraordinary Practices offers a toolkit of simple, time-tested practices to do just that.   In this new book, author José Luis Stevens offers a toolkit of fifty-eight simple, daily practices for profound spiritual transformation. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need intense meditation retreats or to leave behind your home, job, and relationships in order to seek. You can awaken right now, today, in whatever circumstances already surround you.   For convenience, the author has organized the practices into six loose categories, though he emphasizes that one needn’t do the practices in any specific order: Preparatory—Establish a foundation of essential basic skills Energetic—Unblock and redirect stuck energy Relational—Deepen your relationship with others, nature, and yourself Physical—Use your body as a portal to the divine Creative—Harness the power of the imagination for spiritual growth Perceptual—See and perceive things in fresh new ways    For decades, Stevens has practiced and taught shamanism and other spiritual traditions. Over the years, the author has tested these practices and refined them. In The Shaman’s Book of Extraordinary Practices, Stevens has collected dozens of the most powerful of these transformative rituals and presents them in a way that is accessible to both new and experienced spiritual seekers alike.

The Ten Commandments

Arthur W. Pink

The Ten Commandments by Arthur W. Pink is a short introduction to God’s Moral Law. Pink shows that the Moral Law is still binding on all men today, that humanity will be judged for its violation, and that it is the rule of life and means of sanctification for the Christian. At one time, this was the prevailing understanding in Christianity.God gave the commandments for His own glory and also for the good of man. Each commandment has both a positive and negative force. If something is forbidden, the opposite virtue is enjoined. The chapter on the Fifth Commandment has a helpful section directed to parents and children. This little book is particularly relevant to the current struggles of our modern Godless and antinomian era, and it is vital that we return to these truths.This audiobook is read from the original as much as possible, with only minor changes to make it understandable to a listener.

Bearing God - Living A...

Marlena Graves

Imagine yourself with Jesus, in a boat on the sea, as a sudden storm fills the other passengers with fear. When the priest read this Gospel story in Mark 4, Marlena Graves didn’t see herself as the terrified disciples, lacking faith. She wasn’t Jesus, peacefully sleeping through the danger. She wasn’t the wind or the waves. According to Graves, “I was the boat! And then it occurred to me that, like Jesus’ mother, Mary, I, too, am a God bearer.” Journey with Graves and discover these things:  We are all vessels that carry Jesus as we journey throughout our lives.  Boats are made for the water―they have a mission―and that mission always involves others.  Jesus is not disturbed by any storms (or our reactions to them).  Our lives, which carry Christ and the gospel, are to bring salvation to others, especially those who have been thrown overboard in life.  There is a destination―life with God―at the heart of spiritual formation. As we bear God and go out to sea, God is also bearing us into oneness with him.  Bearing God is a short and enthralling read that will awaken you as a disciple of Jesus to a sense of adventure in your calling. Using the metaphor of Christians as vessels for Christ, Bearing God is packed with inspirational lessons and principles to help readers grow in their spirituality. An ideal discipleship resource for churches, small groups, and personal devotion.

Before You Climb Any Higher -...

Jonathan McReynolds

Read by the author.
We long for mountaintop experiences, but they’re difficult to achieve and impossible to maintain without the rest, nourishment, and strength found in lush, life-giving valleys. GRAMMY Award winner Jonathan McReynolds shows us why having a valley mindset is not what you think—it’s about receiving God’s grace, love, and encouragement as His beloved child.
Life is full of mountains to ascend, driven by our dreams, ambitions, and callings. But it doesn’t take much for even the strongest climbers to grow weary or lose their way. It’s important to have a “mountain mindset” to help us establish goals, to make steady progress, to achieve success, to do big things for God. A great mission requires from us a little grind, a little hustle, a little competition. But also plenty of time in the valley.
Most people equate valley moments with difficulty and pain, but a “valley mentality” is different according to Jonathan McReynolds. He’s reached the mountaintop—GRAMMY Award, nationwide tours, millions of followers, and more—but he experienced more refreshment, rest, and encouragement from the Lord off the mountain. He writes, “The valley is not about finishing anything, studying anything, or doing anything, but simply being a child of God.” In Before You Climb Any Higher, readers will discover: Taking breaks from climbing is necessary for your mental healthWays to find rest, renewal, and authentic community in the valleyIdentity should never be wrapped up in success and accoladesHow to prepare for the mountain climb with lessons learned in the valleyIt’s possible to live abundantly in the valley and on the mountain
We are more than our accomplishments, more than our mountaintop accomplishments. We are sons and daughters of God, who is calling us to rest in the valley, to replenish our souls, to be formed by the Spirit, to discover abundant life that is found only in Him.
