Aflame with Devotion by Judy Hannen Moe Pdf

In the early part of the twentieth century, as millennial expectations swept through a fast-changing world, there were many in the United States who sought spiritual awakening. On any given night in the country's most vibrant cities, rooms were filled to capacity with spiritual seekers gathered to listen to gurus, teachers, and charlatans holding court on biblical prophecy, the End Times, and a myriad other religious subjects. Among the inquisitive souls attending such meetings in Washington D.C. was the young Pauline Hannen, the first in her family to investigate what was at the time a little-known religion of the East called the Bah ' Faith. Pauline was enthralled by what she heard, and she quickly immersed herself in study of the new Faith and shared all that she learned with her sisters, Fanny and Alma Knobloch, and her mother Amalie. Her husband, Joseph Hannen, soon embraced the Faith as well, and the Hannens and Knoblochs became active members of the small but growing American Bah ' community. Their embrace of the Cause came at significant personal sacrifice as it meant breaking with the social mores and status quo of Washington society as they strove to put the Faith's social teachings into practice. They were privileged, however, to visit and correspond with 'Abdu'l-Bah personally and were intimately involved in serving Him throughout His visit to North America. Clearly aware of the significance of the times in which they lived, the families documented their correspondence and activities meticulously and left extensive written records of their lives. Author Judy Hannen Moe, the great-granddaughter of Joseph and Pauline Hannen, has combed through several archival collections in order to piece together the story of these inspiring souls as well as those of others in their orbit. The resulting book is a treasure trove of highlights from the early days of the Faith in America, and an intimate glimpse of the lives of a handful of brilliant and devoted servants of the Cause.

The Matrix of Mysticism by Martin Hudale Pdf

The Matrix of Mysticism A Call for a New Reformation is on the cutting-edge pioneering into rarely-explored theological and religious history of Roman Catholicism. This book reveals that while under influence of humanistic and mystical teachings of the Roman Church, many Catholic priests committed vicious acts of homosexual molestation against Catholic adolescent boys and children. Using the 2002 clergy sexual-abuse scandal as a launching pad, the author exposes the cause and effect relationship between Catholicisms celibate-monastic mysticism and its long history of clerical sexual dysfunctions. The author documents how the Catholic Churchs occult Gnostic/Neoplatonic worldview regarding the antagonistic differences between the flesh and spirit became the motivating cause for its history of clerical sexual promiscuity and antifeminine mind-set as well as its rationale to deify Mary, the mother of Jesus, as an incarnation of the divine feminine. Martin Hudale spent 12 years in pre-Vatican II Catholic boarding schools and seminaries. During this time, he studied various Roman Catholic doctrines pertaining to dogmatic, moral, ecclesiastical, sacramental and patristic theology. He was required to study Aristotelian and Platonic philosophy along with logic, epistemology and the Latin and Greek classical literature. As a result, he has the background experience, knowledge and credibility to write this book. After being ordained a Catholic priest, he worked four years at an inner-city parish church in the United States where his awareness of the homosexual and immoral lifestyles among some of his fellow priests was an important factor causing him to leave the priesthood. After he became a born-again Christian at the age of 40, he spent approximately 25 years researching and writing this book while receiving an M.S.degree in Counseling Psychology. He is presently married to his wife of 35 yrs. and the father of three adult children.

Marvels and Miracles in Late Colonial Mexico by William B. Taylor Pdf

Miracles, signs of divine presence and intervention, have been esteemed by Christians, especially Catholic Christians, as central to religious belief. During the second half of the eighteenth century, Spain's Bourbon dynasty sought to tighten its control over New World colonies, reform imperial institutions, and change the role of the church and religion in colonial life. As a result, miracles were recognized and publicized sparingly by the church hierarchy, and colonial courts were increasingly reluctant to recognize the events. Despite this lack of official encouragement, stories of amazing healings, rescues, and acts of divine retribution abounded throughout Mexico. Consisting of three rare documents about miracles from this period, each accompanied by an introductory essay, this study serves as a source book and complement to the author's Shrines and Miraculous Images: Religious Life in Mexico Before the Reforma.

Hearts Aflame by Bill Vincent Pdf

In "Hearts Aflame: Journeying Deeper with God through the Lives of David and Samuel," readers are invited to delve deep into the biblical narratives surrounding two of the most profound figures in Christian theology: King David and the prophet Samuel. Drawing upon their storied journeys, the text illuminates the pathways to living a life wholly devoted to God, offering readers a wellspring of wisdom on how to cultivate their relationship with the divine. Navigating the intricacies of leadership, righteousness, and moral responsibility, the book explores the consequences of actions, both taken and avoided, as seen through the lives of these iconic figures. Through an intimate exploration of their paths, readers are encouraged to reflect critically on their own spiritual journeys, understanding the magnitude of maintaining a steadfast and devoted heart, akin to that of David and Samuel. Taking readers through the concepts of prophetic, priestly, and kingly anointing, the book elucidates the distinct levels of spiritual authority, encouraging believers to rise to their highest potential in their service to God and their communities. Drawing parallels to contemporary ministry, the text questions the efficacy and integrity of current religious leaders, calling for a revolution of true devotion, untainted by worldly concerns. Furthermore, "Hearts Aflame" dives deep into the thematic undercurrents of prayer, humility, and devotion, offering insights on how to cultivate a spiritual life rich with intimate moments with God, a life characterized by unyielding faith and deep-rooted trust in God's grand design. As readers journey through the book, they are provided with reflective pauses, offering them the sacred space to introspect and potentially transform their spiritual paths, rejuvenating their hearts with a refreshed fervor for the spiritual realm. Drawing upon the profound symbolism of biblical texts, the book elucidates the divine call to prayer and the necessity of a heart deeply tuned to God's will, paralleled with a life of devoted service. A pivotal addition to the book is the discourse on the kingly anointing, an advanced level of spiritual authority that fosters a collective spiritual awakening, potent enough to transform cities, regions, and nations. Unveiling the avenues to attain such a towering stature in spiritual realms, the text beckons believers to aspire for this summit of spiritual potency, laying forth the blueprints of ushering in an era characterized by mass deliverance and healing through God's omnipotent power. In the final chapters, the readers are summoned to an intimate self-reflection, with a heartfelt invitation to revisit their spiritual bearings, to shed the callouses enveloping their hearts, and to rejuvenate their spiritual lives with a new depth of understanding and commitment. Concluding with a powerful prayer, "Hearts Aflame" invites readers into a covenant with God, setting the stage for a journey of deepened faith, enriched spiritual authority, and an unyielding commitment to God's divine plan. It is not just a book but a beacon guiding believers towards a life echoing with the reverberations of a heart truly aflame for God. Let yourself be led on this transformative journey, as you step into the rich legacies of David and Samuel, guided by the earnest desire to please God with a heart ablaze with divine love and commitment.

Heart Aflame by John Calvin Pdf

John Calvin described the Psalms as "an anatomy of all the parts of the soul." The description is an apt one, says Sinclair B. Ferguson in the foreword to this volume, "since every experience, every emotion, all the heights and depths, all the joys and sorrows, all the mysteries of human life, are here." These select readings from Calvin's Commentary on the Psalms provide us with a year's worth of rewarding daily meditations. Calvin wrote as one whose own experience is mirrored in the Psalms. Here we witness his remarkable knack for seeing the real issues, particularly how Christ is the focus of all of Scripture.

Power Through Prayer by E. M. Bounds Pdf

WE are constantly on a stretch, if not on a strain, to devise new methods, new plans, new organizations to advance the Church and secure enlargement and efficiency for the gospel. This trend of the day has a tendency to lose sight of the man or sink the man in the plan or organization. God's plan is to make much of the man, far more of him than of anything else. Men are God's method. The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men. "There was a man sent from God whose name was John." The dispensation that heralded and prepared the way for Christ was bound up in that man John. "Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given." The world's salvation comes out of that cradled Son. When Paul appeals to the personal character of the men who rooted the gospel in the world, he solves the mystery of their success. The glory and efficiency of the gospel is staked on the men who proclaim it. When God declares that "the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him," he declares the necessity of men and his dependence on them as a channel through which to exert his power upon the world. This vital, urgent truth is one that this age of machinery is apt to forget. The forgetting of it is as baneful on the work of God as would be the striking of the sun from his sphere. Darkness, confusion, and death would ensue.
