Audacity of the Spirit by A.F. Losev demonstrates the merits of the dialectical method to understand antiquity, history, culture and philosophy. The book is a guide to dialectics for beginners and a major philosopher’s summing-up of his reflections to a general audience. It is an English translation from the Russian original Дерзание духа (Politizdat Moskva, 1988), translated by Peter R. Weisensel and Vitali I. Betaneli.
"In recent decades we have become more aware of the chameleon nature of this word. It has a huge range of meanings from a variety of perspectives: it is used in theology both ancient and modern, in psychology, in world religions and in disciplines as diverse as business, agriculture, medicine, art, astronomy, mathematics, not to mention the Christian journey and its exercises of virtue and striving, of reconciliation and compassion, of prayer, mysticism and liturgy. For all of Aristotle's dictum that we are rational animals, we now know that we are all spiritual beings, even if we might not be able to express the spirituality which gives meaning to our existence." "Jack Finnegan, a Salesian priest, who teaches both spirituality and psychology at the Mill town Institute, Dublin gives us a fascinating book that explores the whole area. Every paragraph has its own gems of insight and felicitous language. He steers us through traditional and post-modern writings so that we are challenged to new visions, but in such a way that we will not be afraid to let go of the narrower vision we will initially bring to reading this book. At the heart of the book Dr. Finnegan sees spirituality in terms of a poetics."--BOOK JACKET.

The Audacity of God's Power by Femi Folorunsho Pdf
How much worse could it get for me? After several failed marriages, unemployment, and the threat of losing my house a few years ago, I had to turn to God for a 911 intervention. At that point in time, I just lost my job and my ex-wife had just moved out with all her furniture, including the accessories and mattress. I thought I had reached my limit, but with Gods grace I bounced back and refused to be defeated. One of the greatest lessons learned then is to stay faithful to God, hold on to Him because He's the only one that could help me throughout my days in the wilderness. The Audacity of Gods power shows how toughness of a man or woman cannot be measured through their physical stature, but rather the ability to stay strong and reach-out to God for assistance. Challenges are inevitable, they are like the weather or a season, no matter how undesirable they appear at one point. A better one will surely replace the not too great ones. As for me, it was my willingness to ask for Gods help that ultimately saved me and allowed Him to go the extra mile for me and my family.
Yes, indeed, the tomb of Jesus was empty the third day! Is this a myth or a reality? Despised and rejected of men as a blasphemer, was his crucifixion a murder or a sacrifice? He was revered as Son of God, Son of Man, Lamb of God, and the Lion of tribe of Judah! Did Jesuss personality actually fit the billing of these self-contradictory designations? By inspiration? Does inspiration then automatically confer absolute literary authenticity on every ecclesiastical work selected by few individuals and published in sacred books? To what extent can we rely on this axiom? Made from the rib of Adam? Till this very moment, every male Jew is proud of his heritage of not being born as a woman or as a slave! So is it a burden of inferiority crises to be created as a woman? Most importantly, was Eve really a by-product from the rib of Adam? Homosexuality! The battle rages on, for and against. But is apparent attraction between homosexuals based on sexuality or due to other compelling reasons that result in same-sex couples walking down the aisle to tie the conjugal knot? These and other spiritually burning issues were deeply x-rayed. The work exposes barriers already set up assiduously by traditional beliefs, ideas, and schisms of religious dogmatisms. It challenged time-honored views and rent asunder many a false claim. Therefore, it is not unexpected if its contents attract relentless criticisms and opposition from circles of those already sided with rigidity and hypocrisy of philosophy and religions, particularly those professionally involved in the trade of perfidy. Truthfulness can never breed doubters nor idiosyncrasies of fundamentalism, whose main goal was to enslave minds of other human beings. It is on this basis that readers may recognize the true worth of this work.
Experience Oneness with the Divine and Light Up the World On the publication of her first book, Larry Dossey, MD, author of Prayer Is Good Medicine , wrote: “Martella-Whitsett is a wise guide." Her new book makes the audacious claim that each of us can be “the light of the world” Jesus instructed his followers to be. Martella-Whitsett offers a path for living a deep and authentic life outside of the strictures of traditional religious categories. A refreshing approach, in essence, on how to be spiritual without being religious. We need to jettison the idea of a God who is out there and above us. God is not a super-human who gives and takes, punishes and rewards. God does not require human suffering and repentance. We truly find God when we go inside to connect with divine light, realize our oneness with God and others, and let our light shine in the world. Martella-Whittset looks at what “divine light” is and how it is both audacious and normal to claim it for ourselves. Next she introduces us to 12 spiritual powers we can all develop and learn to use on a daily basis: faith, understanding, will, imagination, zeal power, love, wisdom, strength, order, release, and life itself. When we consciously shine our spiritual powers on ourselves, not only are our lives improved, but all of humanity can be enriched and transformed. Let your light shine!
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Barack Obama’s lucid vision of America’s place in the world and call for a new kind of politics that builds upon our shared understandings as Americans, based on his years in the Senate “In our lowdown, dispiriting era, Obama’s talent for proposing humane, sensible solutions with uplifting, elegant prose does fill one with hope.”—Michael Kazin, The Washington Post In July 2004, four years before his presidency, Barack Obama electrified the Democratic National Convention with an address that spoke to Americans across the political spectrum. One phrase in particular anchored itself in listeners’ minds, a reminder that for all the discord and struggle to be found in our history as a nation, we have always been guided by a dogged optimism in the future, or what Obama called “the audacity of hope.” The Audacity of Hope is Barack Obama’s call for a different brand of politics—a politics for those weary of bitter partisanship and alienated by the “endless clash of armies” we see in congress and on the campaign trail; a politics rooted in the faith, inclusiveness, and nobility of spirit at the heart of “our improbable experiment in democracy.” He explores those forces—from the fear of losing to the perpetual need to raise money to the power of the media—that can stifle even the best-intentioned politician. He also writes, with surprising intimacy and self-deprecating humor, about settling in as a senator, seeking to balance the demands of public service and family life, and his own deepening religious commitment. At the heart of this book is Barack Obama’s vision of how we can move beyond our divisions to tackle concrete problems. He examines the growing economic insecurity of American families, the racial and religious tensions within the body politic, and the transnational threats—from terrorism to pandemic—that gather beyond our shores. And he grapples with the role that faith plays in a democracy—where it is vital and where it must never intrude. Underlying his stories is a vigorous search for connection: the foundation for a radically hopeful political consensus. Only by returning to the principles that gave birth to our Constitution, Obama says, can Americans repair a political process that is broken, and restore to working order a government that has fallen dangerously out of touch with millions of ordinary Americans. Those Americans are out there, he writes—“waiting for Republicans and Democrats to catch up with them.”

What happens when you feel like you are losing your mind and common sense eludes you. What do you do when you are trying to live as a servant of God and a good citizen but your parents do not understand you, your wife, brothers and sisters; and even your neighbors consider you as an outcast? (Perhaps worthless).The journey seems so long and you do not know where to turn. What can you do? Where can you go? Do you leave the people you love behind or do you move to another location to bring relief from the pain everyone is feeling? Wait. Remember there is hope in God! The pain of death was at my bedside, the pangs Sheol laid hold of me; sorrows and troubles were at my doorstep. I was brought down low, and then the Lord delivered my soul from death. I am glad that God has dealt mercifully with me, for He has returned my soul to rest.
"God is still in the business of performing miracles. He desires to produce one in your life right now! The word audacity declares that one has stepped from the ranks of convention and normal expectation into daring, uncharted territory. This is especially so with regard to our prayers. Jesus Himself calls us to a life of daring prayer. The Audacity of Prayer shares the stories of modern-day miracles that have occurred as a result of audacious prayer including when:
Sergius Bulgakov is widely considered to be the twentieth century's foremost Orthodox theologian, and his book The Comforter is an utterly comprehensive and profound study of the Holy Spirit. Encyclopedic in scope, The Comforter explores all aspects of the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, as they are viewed in the Orthodox tradition and throughout church history. The book has sections on the development of the doctrine of the Spirit in early Christianity and on the development of the doctrine of procession in the patristic and later Byzantine periods. It also touches on the place of the Holy Spirit in the Trinity and explores Old and New Testament notions of the Spirit of God. A concluding chapter deals with the mystical revelation of the Holy Spirit. Made available in English through the work of Boris Jakim, today's premier translator of Russian theology and philosophy into English, Bulgakov's Comforter in this edition is a major publishing event.

Audacity of Speaking in Tongues by Oppong Kyekyeku Pdf
Theological correctness has made speaking in tongues controversial, and it confuses everyone within Christendom. Many doubts which surrendering it are creating fear instead of faith for its authenticity, meanwhile Jesus promised every believer as one of the signs to follow us. Speaking in tongues is not the Holy Spirit, but it is the evidence indicating that the Holy Spirit has come upon you. It happened on the day of Pentecost, when one hundred and twenty believers gathered together in Jerusalem. The Holy Spirit came upon all of them, and they began to speak in tongues as evidence to confirm Jesus's prophecy. Peter couldn't ignore its reality but confirmed that the Holy Spirit had come upon the Gentiles just as they received, when he heard the household of Cornelius speaking in tongues. In Ephesus, Paul also believed the fact that the Holy Spirit had come upon all the twelve converts by laying his hands on them, because they spoke in tongues. Now we contemporary Christians cannot overlook this evidence. Instead, we must continue until we pass to the next generation. Because the truth has to be told.
