Shifting Sands and Solid Rock: Religious Life in a Changing World by Patricia Jordan Pdf

Pope Francis, writing a Letter to all Consecrated People, 'as a brother who, like yourselves, is consecrated to God', proclaimed the Year of Consecrated Life and outlined three main aims and five expectations for this special year. In this book, these aims and expectations have been reflected upon and woven into the text with their graces, invitations and challenges. Firstly, in looking to the past with gratitude, Sr Patricia draws our attention to the last fifty years in particular. With her emphasis on Jubilee, she emphasises gratitude and joy for the journey that has taken us to where we are now. In so doing, remembering and recounting our history 'preserves our identity, for strengthening our unity as a family and our common sense of belonging'. The call 'to live the present with passion' is presented by the author as the greatest challenge because it is the perennial challenge of the Gospel. As Pope Francis says: 'The Gospel is demanding: it demands to be lived radically and sincerely'. This is a twofold challenge to a personal and passionate love for Jesus and a reaching out to others with the love of his heart. Therefore the call to mysticism and prophecy is emphasised. Finally, to embrace the future with hope, invites us to allow the Holy Spirit to 'spur us on so that he can do great things with us'. This book will ask questions, pose challenges and invite us to 'constantly set out anew, with trust in the Lord' so that 'we may wake up the world' and be witnesses to the joy of the Gospel. Patricia Jordan is a Franciscan Sister Minoress. Graduating from Liverpool University with a B.Ed. (Hons.), she has taught Religious Education and English at secondary school level, and has both an MA (from the Franciscan Institute, St Bonaventure University) and a Ph.D in Franciscan Studies. She has been involved in the ministry of Religious Formation for over thirty years and writes here from her personal experience of Consecrated Life. She is currently Novice Director and is a member of the Leadership Team for her Congregation. She is also Director of The Portiuncula, House of Franciscan Prayer and Solitude, in Derbyshire. Her three other books, An Affair of the Heart: A Biblical and Franciscan Journey, Come Apart and Rest a While and Francis and Therese: Great Little Saints are also published by Gracewing.

Shifting Sands by Steve Donahue Pdf

How to stop thinking about life’s inevitable transitions as goals to reach and learn how to navigate through times of unpredictability and uncertainty. We live in a culture, Steve Donahue writes, which loves “climbing mountains.” We want to see the peak, map out a route, and follow it to the top. Sometimes this approach works, but not always, particularly when we are enduring a personal crisis—divorce, job loss, addiction, illness, or death. We may not know exactly where we are going, how to get there, or even how we’ll know we’ve arrived. And it’s not just in times of crisis. There are many deserts in our lives, situations with no clear paths or boundaries. Finding a job is usually a mountain, but changing careers can be a desert. Having a baby is a mountain, especially for the mom. But raising a child is a desert. Battling cancer is a mountain. Living with a chronic illness is a desert. In the desert, we need to follow different rules than we follow when conquering a mountain. We need to be more intuitive, more patient, more spontaneous. Donahue outlines six “rules of desert travel” that will help us discover our direction by wandering, find our own personal oases, and cross our self-imposed borders. Shifting Sands shows us how to slow down, reflect, and embrace the changes of life graciously, naturally, and courageously.

Old Growth in a New World by Thomas A. Spies,Sally L. Duncan Pdf

Old-growth forests represent a lofty ideal as much as an ecosystem—an icon of unspoiled nature, ecological stability, and pristine habitat. These iconic notions have actively altered the way society relates to old-growth forests, catalyzing major changes in policy and management. But how appropriate are those changes and how well do they really serve in reaching conservation goals? Old Growth in a New World untangles the complexities of the old growth concept and the parallel complexity of old-growth policy and management. It brings together more than two dozen contributors—ecologists, economists, sociologists, managers, historians, silviculturists, environmentalists, timber producers, and philosophers—to offer a broad suite of perspectives on changes that have occurred in the valuing and management of old-growth forests in the Pacific Northwest over the past thirty years. The book • introduces the issues and history of old-growth values and conservation in the Pacific Northwest; • explores old growth through the ideas of leading ecologists and social scientists; • addresses the implications for the future management of old-growth forests and considers how evolving science and social knowledge might be used to increase conservation effectiveness. By confronting the complexity of the old-growth concept and associated policy and management challenges, Old Growth in a New World encourages productive discussion on the future of old growth in the Pacific Northwest and offers options for more effective approaches to conserving forest biodiversity.

An Awakening Within by Jeffrey Alan Hall Pdf

If there is to be an awakening, it must be with in us¡ªwithin each of our souls¡ªfor that is the only place that true and lasting change can occur. We must awaken to the wonderful possibilities of what we can become as one world, and not focus on what we have been as separate nations. We must awaken to the things we are for¡ªthe things that unite us as a planet¡ªand not dwell on what we are against by drawing lines in the sand. We must awaken to the power of the God force and allow it to lead our collective consciousness to a new and higher way of being. We must awaken to the power of love. Jeffrey Alan Hall From An Awakening Within

God Is Not God’S Name by Rev. Steve Edington Pdf

I concede to the irony of writing a book with the words beyond words in its subtitle. If I were to truly go beyond words, the following pages would all be blank! I am hardly the first to deal with this conundrum, however. Jewish scholars tell us that in the aftermath of the Babylonian Exile of the sixth century BCE, the Jews ceased to use their name for GodYahwehbecause the divine name had come to be regarded as too sacred and holy to even be spoken. They had to come up with other ways to identify that which they regarded as ultimately sacred and holy. I can relate.

e-Jeanne: 2004 (Part Two: July through December) by Jeanne Halsey Pdf

e-Jeanne was a precursor of currently popular ?blogs, ? although we called her an ?e-zine.? She was assembled early in the morning (right after my morning devotions ? in fact, I realize that many of my morning devotions somehow crept into the e-Editorials), and then forwarded by e-mail to over 300 people all around the world. I did this two or three days a week for 10 years. Like I said, maybe I am a little crazy. ... 2004 was a lengthy year, filled with commentary about the impending American Presidential Election (yes, George W. Bush won again), fluctuating health issues, and much sharing of prayer requests and praise reports among the faithful and beloved Readers. 2004 was so long that I had to split it into two books; this is Part Two, covering July through December. Like its sister books, e-Jeanne: 2004 (Part Two) comes out looking like a fair-sized phone book; you?ll need strong arms and strong hands to hold it while reading ... and I strongly suggest you have a sturdy bookmark.
