In the spirit of her bestselling 'The Language of Letting Go', America's most beloved inspirational writer guides us on a sacred journey as we learn to expand our creativity, embrace our powers, and open our hearts.
Jesus Calling is a devotional and journal in one, filled with uniquely inspired treasures from heaven for every day of the year.
After many years of writing in her prayer journal, missionary Sarah Young decided to "listen" to God with pen in hand, writing down whatever she believed He was saying to her. It was awkward at first, but gradually her journaling changed from monologue to dialogue. She knew her writings were not inspired as Scripture is, but journaling helped her grow closer to God. Others were blessed as she shared her writings, until people all over the world were using her messages. They are written from Jesus' point of view, thus the title Jesus Calling. It is Sarah's fervent prayer that our Savior may bless readers with His presence and His peace in ever deeper measure.
Infuse your days with meaning. You are part of a larger Story. And the One who began the Story is at work today, in your life, in the midst of your meetings and bills and family activities that make the days rush by and blur together. In these pages Bobby Gross opens to you--and opens you to--the liturgical year, helping you inhabit God's Story every day.
Remembering God's work, Christ's death and resurrection, and the Spirit's coming will change you, drawing you into deeper intimacy with God and pointing your attention to the work of the Father, Son and Spirit right now, in and around you.
You'll be reminded daily that your life is bigger than just you, that you are part of God's huge plan that started before time and will continue into eternity.
Whether you're familiar or unfamiliar with following the liturgical year, this book makes it easy to do, offering here the significance and history of each season, ideas for living out God's Story in your own life, and devotions that follow the church calendar for each day of the year. "The power that overshadowed Mary and raised Jesus from the dead also guarantees the final redemption of all things in him; that same power is at work in us now," Gross writes. "Keeping liturgical time, making it sacred, opens us further to this power as, year after year, we rehearse the Story of God--remembering with gratitude, anticipating with hope--and over time live more deeply the Story of our lives."
This religious classic is here made available in a revised and updated paperback edition. A unique devotional for daily meditation, it dwells on the great themes of Christian piety and is drawn from Martin Luther's sermons and other works. The readings are arranged according to the church year and organized under a central theme for each week. In addition to the devotions for each day of the year, select readings are provided for Thanksgiving, the Feast of the Reformation, and a Day of Penitence. Each daily meditation concludes with a prayer, a biblical verse, or a question to ponder.
These stories of grace and courage will find their way into your heart each morning. They may even influence the way that you treat others. They have the power to slowly transform your life over the course of the next year.
The Catholic Heart is about the living love, action, and heroism of everyday Christians. Father Richard’s stories will take you from Nazi Germany to the American Heartland to the Jordan River; from Pearl Harbor to the beaches at Normandy; from ancient Israel to the apparitions of the Blessed Virgin in Bosnia-Herzegovina. You will encounter some extraordinary Catholics including America’s Elizabeth Ann Seton, Maximilian Kolbe, and Edith Stein. You will hear a child’s words of trust in God, the last words of a martyred priest, the favorite prayer of Pope John Paul II, and the startling words of Mother Teresa to the U.S. Congress. As Father Richard chronicles the Catholic heart of faith, you will find your own faith rekindled.
Author Francis Fernandez-Carvajal makes generous use of the writings of the great saints as he brings you focused and moving meditations on themes taken from the Mass readings for that day, the liturgical season, and more. This work is rich and extensive enough to serve as your spiritual reading for a lifetime, as it helps you relate the particulars of the message of Christ to the ordinary circumstances of your day. Each volume is small enough for you to carry to Adoration or some other suitable place for meditation. The whole set comes with a handsome slipcase that prevents wear-and-tear on the individual volumes.
