Knowing with the Heart by Roy Clouser Pdf

The famous scientist and philosopher Blaise Pascal memorably said that the heart has its reasons the mind will never know. But too often it's forgotten that Pascal, in referring to the heart's reasons, was not talking about hunches or cozy feelings. Instead he had in mind our intuitive knowledge of the first principles of number, time, space, and motion. And he believed God can be known in the same way, so that belief in God has the same justification as scientific and mathematical principles. Was he right? In Knowing with the Heart, Roy Clouser develops a broad, compelling case for Pascal's position. Against the current climate of religious relativism, Clouser concludes that Christians are entitled to say they know God is real. Written in clear and nontechnical language, Knowing with the Heart is intended for believers concerned with the credentials of their faith--and those who don't believe in God but are willing to investigate and reconsider.

Knowing by Heart by Anthony J. Steinbock Pdf

Drawing on and developing the phenomenological work of figures such as Edmund Husserl and Max Scheler, Knowing by Heart: Loving as Participation and Critique provides an account of the various feelings and feeling‐states that pertain to matters of the heart. Anthony J. Steinbock’s work investigates the special kind of knowing that is revealed most profoundly through love. Knowing by Heart describes the movement of loving as a participation that bears on all beings. Eschewing the dichotomy of rationalism and sensibility that has dominated discussions of love and emotion, Steinbock understands the heart as a vast schema ranging from the deepest loving to affects and felt conditions. The book brings into focus the importance of a full‐bodied relational account of a normative critique based in emotion. From a phenomenological description of diverse feelings to the normativity of loving as the discernment of the heart, this work evaluates hating’s relation to loving. At the basis of all this is a phenomenological and philosophical anthropology in response to the basic question: In reality, who and what are we?

Knowing the Heart of the Father by David Eckman Pdf

Maybe you're thirsting for a felt experience of the Bible's truth. Perhaps Christianity is irrelevant to where your heart is really at. What if you could : have an all-encompassing sense that you have a loving heavenly Dad? Have a sense of being enjoyed and delighted in by Him? Recognize that He sees you differently than you see yourself? Realize that who you are is more important to Him than what you do? These four experiences are integral to biblical Christianity. Discover what often stands in the way of them, and how you can begin to know the heart of the Father in a deeper way as he works these realities into your life.

The Knowing Heart by Kabir Helminski Pdf

As human beings we stand on the threshold between two realities: the world of material existence and the world of spiritual Being. The "knowing heart" is the sacred place where these two dimensions meet and are integrated. In Sufi teaching the human heart is not a fanciful metaphor but an objective organ of intuition and perception. It is able to perceive all that is beautiful, lovely, and meaningful in life—and to reflect these spiritual qualities in the world, for the benefit of others. Every human heart has the capacity and the destiny to bring that world of divine reality into this world of appearances. The Sufis, mystics of Islam, have been educators of the heart for some fourteen centuries. Their teachings and methods are designed to help us awaken and purify the heart, to learn to listen to our deepest knowing. In The Knowing Heart, Kabir Helminski presents the Sufi way as a practical spirituality suitable for all cultures and times—and offers insights that are especially valuable for our life in today's world. In cultivating a knowing heart, we learn to experience a new sense of self, transform our relationships, and enhance our creative capacities. Most important, we learn how to meet the spiritual challenge of our time: to realize our sacred humanness.

Knowing By Heart by Lee Whitney Pdf

Knowing By Heart is a loving tribute to family life on a small farm. In the mid-1970s, the author and his family made a momentous decision; they turned their summer residence in the province of New Brunswick into a fully developed homestead way of life. At the time of this decision, Lee Whitney was a professor of medieval literature and history at the University of Toronto. Their New Brunswick property was a 70-acre farm tucked into a hillside overlooking the Kennebecasis River Valley in the south-central part of the province. Once the decision was made they "never looked back and never regretted it." Soon after their arrival in the community, the editor of the Kings County Record induced Lee Whitney to start writing a weekly column about his family's life on their homestead farm. He titled the column, "A Letter from Home," and used the pen name "Jacob Erdman." The column was a hit with readers and continued for over three decades. Knowing By Heart is composed of essays drawn from this archive and arranged into chapters and themes.

Living Presence by Kabir Edmund Helminski Pdf

"This is an excellent book that explains spiritual principles and how to carry them into everyday life . . . Highly recommended."—Library Journal Sufism is a centuries-old spiritual psychology leading to presence in life. Presence is our capacity to be whole in the moment, in alignment with our deepest wisdom. With unusual clarity, this book describes how presence is different from ordinary habits of mind, and how it can be developed. Drawing on the words of the great Sufi, Rumi, as well as traditional material and personal experience, this book integrates the wisdom of Sufism with the needs of contemporary life. Living Presence offers a wisdom that is both universal and practical. It shows how we can bring spirituality and psychology into a balanced system that honors and awakens the soul. “I am pleased to give Living Presence a high recommendation: It is sober, thoughtful, and well worth deep reflection. Helminski is concerned with out interactions with each other, with cultivating love and a desire to serve the Highest through serving each other . . . a valuable emphasis in a culture like ours that tends to think of spiritual development as special and solitary experiences.”—Noetic Sciences Review by Charles Tart, Ph.D.

The God of the Towel by Jim McGuiggan Pdf

Since childhood, you've sung the words, Jesus loves me, this I know. The tune is as familiar as your own mirrored reflection. But sometimes we have difficulty believe that the creator and sustainer of the universe could be bothered with people like you and me -- much less really love us. But when God put on flesh and entered our world, he washed dirty feet, he soothed suffering souls, and he forgave fallen sinners. His message is loud and clear -- he loves us Jim McGuiggan's passionate, devotional readings draws you beyond the commands, the laws, and the history and paint and insightful portraits of God that reveal his tender heart of love,
