  Letting Go Finding You - Uncover...

  Too many of us are stuck on the treadmill of consumer spirituality, clinging to the illusion that we are in charge of our own spiritual growth and development. But the path of true transformation, according to Enneagram teacher Hunter Mobley, isn't in doing more, but in doing less—in letting go of control and adopting a contemplative posture that will naturally lead us to our true self. 
   
   
   
  Most of us focus our Enneagram work on trying to overcome the passion of our Enneagram number. Sometimes referred to as the "sin," this is the expression of our personality that habitually gets us into trouble and blocks us from growth. The lesser-known virtues, on the other hand, describe the God-image in us and are the best articulations of our true selves. The Enneagram mystery—hiding in plain sight—is that how we have come to know ourselves (reflected by our passion) is the opposite of who we truly are (which is reflected by our virtue). We don't have to struggle against our passion; we can simply let go and embrace the virtue that has always been at our center. 
   
   
   
  Letting Go, Finding You will show how a contemplative spiritual path, informed by the Enneagram, will allow you to finally stop striving after false promises and start surrendering to the truest version of yourself.

  In this third installment of the Theology of Home series, Carrie Gress, Ph.D. and Noelle Mering turn their attention to the role of the sea in our memories and imaginations. Drawing from literature, mythology, and scripture, At the Sea pulls out the rich connections between the sea and mystery, recreation, yearning, and joyful reunions. With themes of home and womanhood woven throughout, it is a voyage that explores: 
  • Why we often associate maritime language with the feminine 
  • The rich symbolism of the Church as an ark 
  • The sea’s mysterious balance between power and peace 
  • Christ’s many encounters with water in the Gospels 
  • The sea’s ability to draw our souls out to God 
  • Why we try to bring pieces of the coast and oceans into our homes 
  • Our Lady’s role as Stella Maris 
  With reflections from other writers who join Gress and Mering, At the Sea serves as a love letter to the time we spend on the beach with our families, romping in the waves, toes in the sand, eyes lingering on the pink sunsets beyond the horizon. All are invited to bring the salty balm of the sea into their home—indeed, into their souls—with this title that enkindles in us a new awareness and appreciation for the majesty and splendor of God and his creation. This edition of Theology of Home includes the characteristically beautiful photography readers have come to know and appreciate from the series that captures home life, nature, family, and of course, the sea.

  The Love of Thousands - How...

  Is it possible that angels, saints, and even our departed ancestors support and inspire us throughout our lives? How can we connect with them in a real way? Christine Valters Paintner, popular spiritual writer and abbess of the online Abbey of the Arts, says these sacred beings are paving the way for our journey toward God’s love, even as we pass through a world rife with struggle, discord, and violence. In The Love of Thousands, she helps us open up our spiritual imagination to encounter our heavenly helpers, allowing us to become everyday mystics.  Paintner describes saints, angels, and our ancestors as sacred beings who surround us like concentric circles, watching over us with compassion and offering us spiritual guidance throughout our lives.  In The Love of Thousands, she guides us to see the ways these beings support us, from the care of our guardian angels, to the wisdom of the mystics, to the witness of our loved ones who have crossed the threshold to the light of God’s presence.  Paintner’s gentle guidance reveals that we can be inspired and sustained when we are open and attentive in exploring our connections to these holy companions walking alongside us. Transformed by the encounter, we can grow into the kinds of ancestors—part of the Communion of Saints—who offer spiritual support and wisdom to others in turn.  Throughout The Love of Thousands, we are led to explore and better understand  the teachings from scripture and tradition about the four archangels, the protection offered by our guardian angels, and what it might look like to wrestle with angels as Jacob did in the Old Testament;  the witness of the saints and mystics, with an exploration of how we are all called to be mystics;  the tradition of relics and the practice of pilgrimage;  the presence of our ancestors, inviting us first to claim the blessings of our family heritage and then to embrace grief and explore healing the wounds of our lineage.     Each chapter includes a reflection, practice, meditation, and creative exercise that will help cultivate an ongoing relationship with angels, saints, and our ancestors. Paintner also suggests various ways to engage with this book to reflect more deeply on the spiritual content, such as reading it over the course of a year or with others as a form of spiritual pilgrimage.

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.  
  Divine Favour is worth reading! Whether in Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe, South America, Canada, or the USA, divine favour is non-negotiable! This generation has no regard for God’s divine favour at all. Instead, it has more faith in human effort, opinions, or educational qualifications than in God. Exalting anything else in your life above God’s favour will land you in trouble. Divine favour is also divine grace or divine help! Each time you turn your back on God’s grace, disgrace will find its way into your life. Think about how Paul the Apostle attributed all his life and ministry accomplishments to God’s grace. It is safer that way! 
  Saints, divine favour is a must in this world we live in. Without it, your life will always get incapacitated, in every way. Of course, we live in a competitive world such that for you to excel in life, you will always need the favour of God. Only the spirit of pride in people, even Christians, will always dismiss God’s plan or agenda concerning favour. Many people have lost relevance in life because of neglecting the favour of God, which is in Christ Jesus. They think education, whom they know, and their popularity is superior to God’s favour. God forbid! 
  Get this book! You will scale greater heights of wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and spiritual growth in Christ Jesus!!

  When it comes to our personal well-being, success is often more dangerous than failure. As we try to fulfill others' expectations, we deplete our time, energy, and enthusiasm and end up feeling wrung out or burned out, sometimes even flaming out in spectacular ways. It may feel like the solution is just to quit—our jobs, our passions, our ministries—but there is a way to pour into others and take care of ourselves. 
   
   
   
  Sharing the dramatic, true, and untold story behind the creation of Convoy of Hope, Hal Donaldson and his daughter Lindsay Donaldson-Kring pull back the curtain on Hal's journey to greater mental, physical, and spiritual health amid the all-engrossing task of starting and sustaining a ministry. They reveal the toll ministry and compassion work can take on both individuals and families, then point toward healing and wholeness. 
   
   
   
  Insightful and encouraging, this book offers practical, real-world solutions to persistent problems associated with being the hands and feet of Jesus in a hurting world.
