Be The Sunshine

Sunshine Rodgers

Sinopse

The one difficulty with having the name Sunshine is that people expect me to be…. well, sunshine all the time.
 
I have learned over time to embrace the Sunshine-ness that is my name. Yes, I may not always be joyful or exuberant all the time, but I have learned that if I rely on my friends, my family, and my faith, I can conquer each day head-on and live every moment with an expectation of goodness.
 
And that's what I wanted to share in this book, Be the Sunshine. It's not a book about how to be happy or seven ways to stay positive. These pages are about being yourself, showing the world your true colors, and being mindful of the moment. These chapters contain personal stories so that we all can experience love and joy for ourselves as well as shining that light on those around us!
 
So, just follow my voice. When it comes to being the sunshine, well, I know the way!

Why Church? - Christianity as It...

PhD Scott Cowdell

An argument for the centrality of the Eucharistic church in an increasingly tribal world. 
 
 
  
As Western culture has secularized, the church has increasingly become marginalized and is seen as providing support and optional resources, rather than indispensable to the Christian life. In this volume, theologian Scott Cowdell argues for a recovery of the church as the proper context for Christian faith, life, and mission. In Why Church? Cowdell considers how we have arrived at this moment, examining how perceptions of the church have changed in response to increasing individualism and institutional failings. Suggesting that the Eucharistic Church embodies Christ's desire to draw humankind to him, Cowdell shows how the Christian life depends on Christian community. 
 
 
  
Written with adult formation in mind and from a perspective of generous orthodoxy, Why Church? makes a provocative case for the centrality of the church to Christian life. Discussion questions at the conclusion of each chapter offer provocative conversation starters for any adult education group.

Kingdom nuggets

solomon Hailu

Kingdom nuggets presents a quick look into the kingdom of God according to the teachings of Jesus and his disciples. Jesus spent more time in proclaiming the kingdom of God more than any other subjects during his ministry on earth. His top priority was to restore the kingdom of God back to the life of humanity. Hence, Jesus invited people of all walks of life to enter the Kingdom of God. Jesus spoke about the kingdom of God to ordinary people including, fishermen, outcast, criminals, tax collectors as well as to prominent people such as the pharisees, lawyers, politicians and wealthy businessmen. Furthermore, Jesus conveyed his message of the kingdom of God to diverse ethnic, gender, cultural, national and age groups. As the book reveals, Jesus emphasized the universality of the kingdom of God through his sermons and parables in every village and town he went. Equally and importantly, the disciples of Jesus took the urgent message of the kingdom of God to the nations of the world where Jesus did not reach with the message of his kingdom. The book takes us on a brief Biblical journey, beginning from the origin of the kingdom of God on earth, its temporary suspension on earth, its restoration and its final consummation on earth.

Angelic Virtues and Demonic...

OP Fr. Basil Cole

Are we truly striving for heaven or merely avoiding hell? 
The human heart’s greatest longing is to see God as He is. And yet, many people simply want to escape hell’s pain, or even worse, they follow our disordered fallen nature in choosing sinful pleasures. Our Lord said the road to heaven is narrow, but the road to hell is wide (see Matt. 7:13). Is choosing the road to heaven merely wanting to avoid pain, or is it actively pursuing the greatest good beyond imagining? 
Do we choose the good because we strive to love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength, or do we choose the good merely because we fear hell? 
God never leaves us alone in these choices. Indeed, He sends us His grace, but—to help us cooperate with that grace and fight valiantly—He also sends spiritual warriors and guides, of whom one of the greatest is Saint Thomas Aquinas. 
In Angelic Virtues and Demonic Vices, Saint Thomas guides us on how to pursue our true celestial homeland while avoiding running to a false heaven. He outlines the various vices, and their forty plus daughters, and details how to conquer them. 
After reading this work, you will not only desire to become a saint because you will see how hideous vice truly is but also see how splendid virtuous living for God is.

Crowning Glory

Pat Simmons

Cinderella had a prince; Karyn Wallace has a King. 
 
 
 
While Karyn served four years in prison for an unthinkable crime, she embraced salvation through Crowns for Christ outreach ministry. After her release, Karyn stays strong and confident, despite the stigma society places on ex-offenders. Since Christ strengthens the underdog, Karyn refuses to sway away from the scripture, "He whom the Son has set free is free indeed." 
 
 
 
Levi Tolliver, for the most part, is a practicing Christian. One contradiction is he doesn't believe in turning the other cheek. He's steadfast there is a price to pay for every sin committed, especially after the untimely death of his wife during a robbery. Then Karyn enters Levi's life. He is enthralled not only with her beauty but her sweet spirit until he learns about her incarceration. If Levi can accept that Christ paid Karyn's debt in full, then a treasure awaits him.
