DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe renowned author of eight books and abbess of the online retreat center Abbey of the Arts, Christine Valters Paintner takes readers on a new kind of pilgrimage: an inner journey to discover the heart of God. Eight stages of the pilgrim's way--from hearing the call to coming home--are accompanied by scripture stories of great biblical journeys and the author's unique and creative practices of prayer, writing, and photography. As she did in The Artist's Rule and Eyes of the Heart, Christine Valters Paintner once again helps readers travel to the frontiers of their souls to discover the hidden presence of God. In The Soul of a Pilgrim, Paintner identifies eight stages of the pilgrim's way and shows how to follow these steps to make an intentional, transformative journey to the reader's inner "wild edges." Each phase of the exploration requires a distinct practice such as packing lightly, being uncomfortable, or embracing the unknown. Paintner shows how to cultivate attentiveness to the divine through deep listening, patience, and opening oneself to the gifts that arise in the midst of discomfort. Each of the eight chapters offers reflections on the themes, a scripture story, an invitation to the practice of lectio divina, and a creative exploration through photography and writing.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNew York Times bestseller and Newbery Honor Book! A gorgeously written, hopeful middle grade novel in verse about a young girl who must leave Syria to move to the United States, perfect for fans of Jason Reynolds and Aisha Saeed. Jude never thought she’d be leaving her beloved older brother and father behind, all the way across the ocean in Syria. But when things in her hometown start becoming volatile, Jude and her mother are sent to live in Cincinnati with relatives. At first, everything in America seems too fast and too loud. The American movies that Jude has always loved haven’t quite prepared her for starting school in the US—and her new label of “Middle Eastern,” an identity she’s never known before. But this life also brings unexpected surprises—there are new friends, a whole new family, and a school musical that Jude might just try out for. Maybe America, too, is a place where Jude can be seen as she really is. This lyrical, life-affirming story is about losing and finding home and, most importantly, finding yourself.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis is a devotional book that is inspired by Holy Spirit. It has been in the works since 2008. I wrote this devotional with one most important objective: to help people to understand the meaning of the word they are saying about themselves and each other and to help encourage people to meditate on the Word of God each day in order to empower themselves and each other in love, peace, and joy. It is for everyone, especially for every Christian worldwide, both denominational and nondenominational. This devotional is a word meditation form the Word of God (Bible). The Word This devotional provides a word for you each day to meditate on and to discuss with your friends and fellow Christians. It can be a devotional for a group discussion such as Group Book Club, Christian Group Book Club, Bible Study Group, and Friends Book Study Group. The Bible Reference This devotional provides a clear and understanding meaning of the word based on biblical principles; in addition, this devotional provides the Bible verse of each word and where it has been used in the Bible, the meaning of the word, and a practical application to our daily life. This devotional has a different title for each month, and it contributes to growing in understanding of the word from the Bible each day and every month. The Commentary This devotional portrays the character of God. The readers will gain deeper insight to God, His character, and His ways. They will be inspired to be more like Jesus. This devotional has a meaningful commentary on each Word and helps the reader to understand and give productive preceptive about the Word of God. This devotional will empower and encourage sons and daughters of God, believers and nonbelievers to dive into the Word of God each day. It's amazing what can happen when hostility is greeted with gentleness, when harshness is greeted with tenderness, when anger is greeted with love and understanding. When someone is shouting at you, you've got an incredible opportunity not to shout them down but to show them love and Jesus. Like I always say, "Keep Believing!"

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhere is Home? This question troubles many of us. We may live far from where we grew up, away from those we love or in a culture not our own. But we all need somewhere to belong, to find a sense of home in this world. Jo Swinney was born in the UK, but grew up in Portugal and France. She went to an English boarding school, did a gap year in southern Africa and in her twenties studied theology in Canada, where she met her American husband. Now back in the UK, she's had more reason than most to wonder what 'home' really means. Is home where you come from - where you live now - where the people you love are - or what? Interweaving a frank and poignant retelling of her own story with theological and psychological insights, Jo's original and authentic exploration of home in all its many and varied forms is a heartfelt call to find our home in the things that are truly of most value.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOriginally published in 1995, as part of the Ethnoscapes: Current Challenges in the Environmental Social Sciences series, reissued now with a new series introduction, The Home: Words, Interpretations, Meanings and Environments, written by by leading theorists and empirical researchers offers an interdisciplinary and multi-cultural spectrum of viewpoints on the study of the home concept. Among the disciplines covered are environment-behaviour research, anthropology, geography, archaeology, architecture, political science, and linguistics-place name research. The authors in this volume focus on refining our concepts of home, our knowledge of the uses of home, and the relationship of home to the study of cultural interpretation. In so doing, they inspire our thinking on the following themes: the struggle to maintain cultural continuity in the face of socio-political change, and the attempts to humanize the present and future built environment. This volume will be interesting to all scholars of cultural interpretation, geographers, and architects, and at the same time useful in graduate studies courses in environmental social sciences and environmental design as reference and source of cutting-edge case studies.
