Devotional Discovery by Tracy Curington,Abigail Curington Pdf
Can we not find a good reason to praise the Lord with a new song upon the earliest day of a new year? We might begin our song by praising God for His forgiveness of sins, the deliverance of sinners, and the protection of His saints. Next, we might give Him glory for every blessing, for every answered prayer, and for the fulfilment of His promises to humankind. Then we could go further in our exalting Jehovah by honoring His person, for He is good, kind, loving, just, holy, wise, merciful, and gracious though “all we like sheep have gone astray.” In Devotional Discovery, authors Tracy Curington and Abigail Curington take a deep dive into exploring God’s word through 366 days of devotionals, giving you an opportunity to explore every chapter and verse of God’s word in one year. Written by a father-daughter duo, this devotional offers a companion resource to reading the Bible. Each devotional ends with a suggested scripture reading.

We normally think of pain and suffering as bad, and we do our best to avoid them. But since they are inevitable parts of life, maybe we should adjust our thinking. Instead of grumbling about our problems or blaming someone else, let’s look to the Bible to see how God uses our trials to draw us closer to Him. Why? Seeing God in Our Pain shows the root causes of our pain and suffering and allows us to see Him more clearly as a God who really does care.
Thirty Days in God's Word by Concordia Publishing House Pdf
The Bible can seem huge and intimidating for someone who has never read it. Where do you even start? How do you begin to understand each passage? Even those who use Scripture regularly sometimes find it difficult to understand how it all fits together. Journey through the sixty-six books of the Bible in thirty days. Thirty Days in God's Word: A Path of Discovery provides overviews and historic context of each book and points toward God's plan of salvation in Christ.
Life is a challenging journey from the victimhood of our false self, based in fear and shame, to the discovery of our true self, based in love and gratitude. Each day in this devotional includes a scripture, an inspirational quote and an excerpt from one of my books: "In Search of the Heart, Shattering the Gods Within, Contemplation: Intimacy in a Distant World" and "Shame: The Human Nemesis." I invite you to come, read, and be still. If you are hurting badly inside, it will be difficult, but I challenge you to write your own reflections on what it means to discover your authentic self. As you reread the devotional each year, adding to your reflections, you will develop a deeper awareness of your soul, your true self. As you embrace your inner life, you will become a missionary to your own heart. In the words of St. Paul: "I pray that the eyes of your heart may be opened so that you may know the hope of your calling, the riches of his glorious inheritance, and the power of God's love dwelling in you" (Eph. 1:17). Marcel Proust wrote, "The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." Modern life with its urgent time pressures and burgeoning technologies leaves us disillusioned and disconnected from ourselves, each other and nature. As a result, we tend to create a world where friends walk as strangers and strangers as friends. Paraphrasing Georgia O'Keeffe: No one sees a flower No one makes a friend. To see a flower Takes time. To make a friend Takes time. And . . .we have no time. It is easy to blame our predicament on external circumstances and forget the words of the wisdom writer: "Guard your heart for out of it comes the issues of your life" (Prov. 4:23). Sadly, the heart, like a sponge, absorbs the hurt and shame of our lives. Unless we release the pain, there is no space in our heart for love. Facing shame, which I define as Self Hatred Aimed at ME, is not easy because shame buries our authentic self encouraging us to live our lives out of an illusory false self. As we age, this false self becomes more entrenched making us puppets of our external reality and circumstances. As a result, we follow the shadow rather than the substance of our existence. Our greatest challenge and hope is to face our hurt and shame and open our hearts to the eternal "love which never lets us go and the face which never turns away." Only in silence and stillness will we discover the vision of our authentic self filled with love, gratitude and forgiveness. As the Psalmist wrote, "Be still and know that I am God" (Ps 46:10).

Books and Religious Devotion by Allan F. Westphall Pdf
In Books and Religious Devotion, Allan Westphall presents a study of the book-collecting habits and annotation practices of Thomas Connary, an Irish immigrant farmer who lived in New Hampshire in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Connary led a pious life that revolved around the use, annotation, and sharing of religious books. His surviving annotated volumes provide a revealing glimpse into the utility of books for a common reader—and they show how one remarkable, eccentric reader turned religious books into near icons. Through a careful excavation of book adaptations and enhancements, Westphall gives us insight into the range of opportunities provided by the material book for recording and communicating Connary's religious fervor. The study also investigates the broader nineteenth-century cultural setting, in which books are seen as testimonies of personal faith and come to function as instruments of social interaction in both domestic and public spheres. Underlying Connary’s many and varied interactions with books is his belief that working in books, as physical objects, can be a devout exercise instrumental in human salvation.
Devotional Cross-Roads by Hedwig Röckelein,Galit Noga-Banai,Lotem Pinchover Pdf
The collection of essays presented in “Devotional Cross-Roads: Practicing Love of God in Medieval Gaul, Jerusalem, and Saxony” investigates test case witnesses of Christian devotion and patronage from Late Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, set in and between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, as well as Gaul and the regions north of the Alps. Devotional practice and love of God refer to people – mostly from the lay and religious elite –, ideas, copies of texts, images, and material objects, such as relics and reliquaries. The wide geographic borders and time span are used here to illustrate a broad picture composed around questions of worship, identity, religious affiliation and gender. Among the diversity of cases, the studies presented in this volume exemplify recurring themes, which occupied the Christian believer, such as the veneration of the Cross, translation of architecture, pilgrimage and patronage, emergence of iconography and devotional patterns. These essays are representing the research results of the project “Practicing Love of God: Comparing Women’s and Men’s Practice in Medieval Saxony” guided by the art historian Galit Noga-Banai, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the historian Hedwig Röckelein, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. This project was running from 2013 to 2018 within the Niedersachsen-Israeli Program and financed by the State of Lower Saxony.

What if there is more to Jesus than what the media portrays? What if there is more to Jesus than what your college professor might tell you? And what if there was a book of the Bible written to counter these common misconceptions about Jesus-to answer skeptics-to expose the truth. Would that change the way you view your life? Would it change your priorities? Values? The Discovery is a 21-day devotional journey through John's Gospel that will challenge you to revisit, or visit for the first time, the Jesus of Scripture. The Jesus who is much more than a distorted icon of pop culture or an obscure figure in history.

Devotion by Constance M. Furey,Sarah Hammerschlag,Amy Hollywood Pdf
"What brings religious scholars Constance Furey, Sarah Hammerschlag, and Amy Hollywood together in Devotion is a shared conviction that "reading helps us live with and through the unknown." For them, the nature of reading raises questions fundamental to how we think about our political futures and modes of human relation. Each essay suggests different ways to characterize the object of devotion and the stance of the devout subject before it. Furey writes about devotion in terms of vivification, energy, and artifice; Hammerschlag in terms of commentary, mimicry, and fetishism; and Hollywood in terms of anarchy, antinomianism, and atopia. They are interested in literature not as providing models for ethical, political, or religious life, but as creating the site in which the possible-and the impossible-transport the reader, enabling new forms of thought, habits of mind, and modes of life. Ranging from German theologian Martin Luther to French-Jewish philosopher Sarah Kofman to American poet Susan Howe, this volume is not just a reflection on forms of devotion, it is also an enactment of devotion itself"--
