DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis small, spirited book, a collection of reflections contributed primarily by the participants of a retreat and edited by its sponsor, an authority on spirituality, examines the role of the human body in the Christian spiritual life. It asks us to recover a conviction of the goodness of our bodies and how God created us so that we can reclaim a positive, healthy attitude toward our individual bodies, toward the social body, the community around us, including the Church, the "earthbody," the body of the natural world, and become spiritually whole. Fr. Thomas Ryan, as editor and contributor, leads with an introduction, reflections on the positive aspects of the human body, and the modalities of body expression in the Christian and non-Christian-Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, Eastern Orthodox-traditions: meditation, prayer, yoga, exercise and rest, sex, fasting and feasting, silence and solitude, and acts of corporal mercy. He is followed by James Wiseman, James Dickerson, Casey Rock, and James Hall with a,short overview of historical Christian attitudes toward the body, the benefits of yoga and Kripalu philosophy for Christians, and the ways of integrating personal spiritual practices with political, social, and environmental justice, through mission groups, Manna Inc., L'Arche, and wilderness groups. Devotees as well as newcomers to health, fitness, especially yoga, nature, and spirituality rooted in the body, are sure to be receptive of its positive message.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book takes you on a journey that unpacks and demystifies what spiritual growth is and how it unfolds. The aim is to set you on your own path toward genuine, personal spiritual transformation. The book provides all the tools you need - biblical, scientific, and practical - so that you can develop your own pathway for spiritual growth. What is unique about Victor Copan's approach to spiritual growth is that he explores recent findings of brain research as well as scientific research on habitformation and brings them into conversation with the process of spiritual formation. Research on the brain and on habit formation has uncovered significant insights about the process and dynamics of human transformation that can be fruitfully incorporated into our own pursuit of spiritual transformation. Tapping into this research allows us to work in concert with how God designed humans to function - body, soul, and spirit.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLearn to celebrate your body by attending to daily spiritual practices In Honoring the Body, Stephanie Paulsell speaks to those who have ever wondered how to celebrate the body's pleasures and protect the body's vulnerabilities in a world that seems confused about both. What we need, she shows, are practices that honor the body. Paulsell invites readers to explore how we might honor the body in daily activities--bathing, clothing, eating, working, exercising, loving, and suffering--seeking wisdom from Scripture, history, and contemporary experience, in story and song and poetry. She argues that the accumulated wisdom of religious traditions provides the resources for a rich practice of honoring the body. This practice will not be just an individual practice, however. It will be a shared, communal practice, one we engage in with others. Honoring the Body is for those who want to honor their body and the bodies of others, who wish for a community that cherishes, attends to, celebrates, and soothes the body.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs the Holy Spirit returns the 21st century church to the pattern of the New Testament, He is helping the saints walk in a dynamic understanding and a functional experience of the Body of Christ. He wants believers to know how the Body works -- starting from Christ the Head -- so they can overcome and so the church can inherit the Kingdom of God in an unprecedented manner in history. Revelation of the Body connects believers with the spiritual dynamics coming from the Father and Jesus Christ, the ascended Man in heaven, to create the all-powerful culture of the Body. Small group assignments engage members with the Word and the Spirit for growth in authentic authority the demonic realm and for integration with other believers who are holding fast to the Head. The Manual is a must for apostles and pastors seeking to form local congregations into spiritual wineskins that flow with the invading Kingdom of God.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA refreshing and liberating perspective to the church member who has actively participated in the life of their local church for 10, 15, 20 or more years, yet still feels spiritually dry. The author peels back the institutional veneer of the local church to delve into the spiritual dynamics that operate organically within and upon souls that believe in Jesus Christ. This divinely inspired work shines a much needed guiding light upon key faith concerns that impact the liveliness of a believer's walk, regardless of his/her situation of life. Addressed are such concerns as the revolving door of new converts, clarity about the nature of a genuine confession of faith, organic elements of God's transformation of the believer's soul and the necessity of being immersed into the revelation of Christ and His gift of God's life within us. Through this work the institutional veneer around the believer's religious life is put into perspective; thereby enabling a fluid fellowship with Jesus Christ and a vibrant servant.
