A Spiritual Uplifting by Dorris Owney Jackson Pdf

A SPIRITUAL UPLIFTING is a collection of experiences, encouragement and inspiration that helped me to be who I am today. A true believer and woman of God. To show others that everyday is not sunshine but that God delivers us through it all. One thing I realized in my belief that God answers all prayers. Sometimes it's YES what we all want to hear. Sometimes it's NO to protect us from forces we can't see. Sometimes it's WAIT you can't handle it right now. My poems are intended to uplift, elevate and console the mind. To remind those reading them there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Trouble comes to make us stronger. We were never promised there wouldn't be trials and tribulations. But, we were promised that we are not alone or forsaken. Our heavenly father always has a ram in the bush. In these contents there is something encouraging and inspiring for everyone. Even those whose lives have been sweeter (easier) than others. Prayerfully you will uplift someone else. Within are my truths, some of my life experiences. Along with the assurance that life is an awesome gift. No matter what one might face. There have been good people and good times in my life. There have been some not so good people and times. We can one day look back on the good and tough times smile and be thankful for the experiences that helped us realize our purpose in life. I inspire you yo stay positive to pray your way through. Laugh when you feel like crying. To put your trust and faith in God not in man. Know that God has all power in his hands. "I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future". Jeremiah 29:11 So relax, enjoy and allow your soul to be soothed. Life is worth the living.

Ragged by Gretchen Ronnevik,Elyse Fitzpatrick Pdf

When we mistake spiritual disciplines for to-dos, time slots on our schedule, or Instagram-able moments, we miss the benefits of Christ's continual and constant work for us. In Ragged, Gretchen Ronnevik aims to reclaim spiritual disciplines as good gifts given by our good Father instead of heavy burdens of performance carried by the Christian. Only when we recognize our failures to maintain God's commands do we also realize the benefit of our dependence on his promises. Gretchen uses this distinction on law and gospel, presented throughout Scripture, to guide readers through spiritual disciplines including prayer, meditation, Scripture reading, and discipleship among others. Despite our best efforts, the good news is that spiritual disciplines have less to do with what we bring before God and more about who Christ is for us, not only as the author but also as the perfector of our faith.

Spiritual Encouragement by Christina R Jussaume Pdf

This is my seventh collection of poetry. It is the second book in a series I am writing with the theme, "Spiritual Healing of Mind, body, and Spirit." The first book in the collection was "Spiritual Enlightenment." Within this collection you will find poetry in many styles, most accompanied by a Bible verse that inspired. There are approximately 90 styles in this collection. There is a detailed glossary explaining each style I used and it's origin. I seem to be on a journey to write daily using Bible verses as the focal point of a subject always giving praise and honor to God, our Creator. This collection is meant to uplift anyone from the pit of despair bringing you the feeling of tranquility. All my writing I dedicate to God; for I write to bring him the glory. It is He that has given me the gift of expression in poetry. I hope you will enjoy this newest collection. It is written with the intent to raise your spirits giving you the feeling of peace, contentment and hope.

Born with Wings by Daisy Khan Pdf

The dramatic, spiritual memoir of a prominent Muslim woman working to empower women and girls across the world—for readers of Malala Yousafzai and Azar Nafisi. Raised in a progressive Muslim family in the shadows of the Himalayan mountains, where she attended a Catholic girls’ school, Daisy experienced culture shock when her family sent her to the States to attend high school in a mostly Jewish Long Island suburb. Ambitious and talented, she quickly climbed the corporate ladder after college as an architectural designer in New York City. Though she loved the freedom that came with being a career woman, she felt that something was missing from her life. One day a friend suggested that she visit a Sufi mosque in Tribeca. To her surprise, she discovered a home there, eventually marrying the mosque’s imam, Feisal Abdul Rauf, and finding herself, as his wife, at the center of a community in which women turned to her for advice. Guided by her faith, she embraced her role as a women’s advocate and has devised innovative ways to help end child marriage, fight against genital mutilation, and, most recently, educate young Muslims to resist the false promises of ISIS recruiters. Born with Wings is a powerful, moving, and eye-opening account of Daisy Khan’s inspiring journey—of her self-actualization and her success in opening doors for other Muslim women and building bridges between cultures. It powerfully demonstrates what one woman can do—with faith, love, and resilience. Praise for Born with Wings “A heartfelt, deeply personal, and touching account of a Muslim woman’s spiritual journey and her work to empower women and girls around the globe.”—Her Majesty Queen Noor “Daisy Khan is one of the most prominent Muslim voices in America and an icon of female empowerment across the globe. This beautiful story of her spiritual journey is an inspiration to anyone who seeks to change the world.”—Reza Aslan, author of No god but God and Zealot “At a time when news headlines cast Muslim societies as war-torn or rigidly traditional, Daisy Khan offers a subtler, and ultimately more optimistic, vision. Through her own story, and the stories of other change-makers, Khan reminds us how Muslim women are asserting their rights while holding fast to their faith.”—Carla Power, author of If the Oceans Were Ink “A lyrical, poignant, emboldening, and, most of all, deeply important book.”—Bruce Feiler, author of Abraham and Walking the Bible

Magic In Islam by Michael Muhammad Knight Pdf

The progenitor of "Muslim punk rock" and one of today's freshest spiritual voices pushes back against the common assumption that the historic faiths have no occult or magical tradition in this richly learned historical and personal journey through the practice of magic in Islam. Magic in Islam offers a look at magical and occult technologies throughout Muslim history, starting with Islam's earliest and most canonical sources. In addition to providing a highly accessible introduction to magic as it is defined, practiced, condemned, and defended within Muslim traditions, Magic in Islam challenges common assumptions about organized religion. Michael Muhammad Knight's deeply original book fills a gap within existing literature on the place of magic in Islamic traditions and opens a new window on Islam for general readers and students of religion alike. In doing so, the book counters and complicates widespread perceptions of Islam, as well as of magic as it is practiced outside of European contexts. Magic in Islam also challenges our view of "organized religions" as clearly defined systems that can be reduced to checklists of key doctrines, texts, and rules. As a result, Magic in Islam throws a monkey wrench into the conventions of the "intro to Islam" genre, threatening to flip popular notions of a religion's "center" and "margins."

Agnostic by Lesley Hazleton Pdf

“Vital” –The New York Times Book Review “Provocative…[Hazleton] paddles the river of doubt with energy and exuberance.” –The Seattle Times A widely admired writer on religion celebrates agnosticism as the most vibrant, engaging—and ultimately the most honest—stance toward the mysteries of existence. One in four Americans reject any affiliation with organized religion, and nearly half of those under thirty describe themselves as “spiritual but not religious.” But as the airwaves resound with the haranguing of preachers and pundits, who speaks for the millions who find no joy in whittling the wonder of existence to a simple yes/no choice? Lesley Hazleton does. In this provocative, brilliant book, she gives voice to the case for agnosticism, breaks it free of its stereotypes as watered-down atheism or amorphous “seeking,” and celebrates it as a reasoned, revealing, and sustaining stance toward life. Stepping over the lines imposed by rigid conviction, she draws on philosophy, theology, psychology, science, and more to explore, with curiosity and passion, the vital role of mystery in a deceptively information-rich world; to ask what we mean by the search for meaning; to invoke the humbling yet elating perspective of infinity; to challenge received ideas about death; and to reconsider what “the soul” might be. Inspired and inspiring, Agnostic recasts the question of belief not as a problem to be solved but as an invitation to an ongoing, open-ended adventure of the mind.
