Book Description
Do you have six minutes a day to spare? Six short minutes each day--that doesn't sound like much time, does it? But it is all the commitment you need to start down the path to a richer spiritual life. 'The Love Exchange' is a simple, biblically based prayer method that touches the deepest need of the human heart: to love and be loved. In this book, Margaret Therkelsen challenges you to spend three minutes a day expressing love to God, then another three minutes acknowledging God's love for you. Building intimacy with God is something anyone can do. By sharing her own journey, Therkelsen invites you to take part in the unique prayer program that she follows. This book provides specific instruction on how you can focus your prayers and life so as to further a closeness with God. Writes Therkelsen, "As this Love Exchange deepens, God can have more of you than he has ever had, and your life will be hidden in him, freely alive and transformed in his living presence."

The Great Exchange (Foreword by Sinclair Ferguson)

Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
Believers often take for granted the great act of salvation provided to us by the work of Jesus Christ. Beginning with the Old Testament sacrifices and the prophecies that foreshadowed Christ, authors Jerry Bridges and Bob Bevington guide believers through the biblical overview of Christ's atonement. The Great Exchange helps believers see how the Old Testament practices tie in with the New Testament discussion of Christ's great work of salvation. As believers work through these principles, they will begin to recognize that even though we deserve condemnation and punishment from a holy God, he has given us the opportunity to experience his great riches through his Son, Jesus Christ. The clear gospel message presented throughout the entire book offers a great appreciation of Christ for believers and an opportunity for salvation for unbelievers.
Author: Jeff MusgraveThe Communism of Love
Author: Richard Gilman-OpalskyPublisher: AK Press
ISBN: 1849353921
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
Exploring the meanings and powers of love from ancient Greece to the present day, Richard Gilman-Opalsky argues that what is called “love” by the best thinkers who have approached the subject is in fact the beating heart of communism—understood as a way of living, not as a form of government. Along the way, he reveals with clarity that the capitalist way of assigning value to things is incapable of appreciating what humans value most. Capitalism cannot value the experiences and relationships that make our lives worth living and can only destroy love by turning it into a commodity. The Communism of Love follows the struggles of love in different contexts of race, class, gender, and sexuality, and shows how the aspiration for love is as close as we may get to a universal communist aspiration.

Book Description
Love... War... Pleasure... Pain... Born and raised in fast-paced New York, sixteen-year-old Eve is mature for her age and welcomes new adventures. When she is seduced by the good looks, flashy car, and the silken touch of an older man, she finds herself irresistibly hooked. Benefitting from Tony's generosity and free-flowing cash, she gets her first taste of being pampered and spoiled, and she becomes the envy of her high school friends. But her fairy tale romance crashes down around her when she discovers that Tony has been leading a double life.Thus begins the cycle of Eve desiring true love but having difficulty finding it. She seeks revenge on Tony with a neighbor but that quickly takes a wrong turn and, eventually, she moves to Los Angeles with another older man that she feels can help her establish her acting career. From there, she falls head over heels for a boxer, who turns out to be bad news. Eve truly falls in love with a musician who she believes is "the one." The difference is that he is struggling when they fall in love but once he becomes an overnight success, the tables turn once again. Eve has to face the fact that she is better off alone, that she can accomplish her dreams on her own merits, and that she has exchanged enough of herself-her mind, body, and soul-for material things and promises. Jam-packed with drama, eroticism, and thought-provoking scenes, Even Exchange by Karlie Redd is a page-turner that will have readers up all night anticipating the unforgettable climatic ending. "In Even Exchange, Karlie Redd pens a vivid and intriguing story about a young lady who has to learn about life the hard way. Continuously seeking love in all the wrong places, Eve finally discovers that the love she seeks is within herself. A poignant coming-of-age cautionary tale about what it means to mature too quickly and eventually learn from your mistakes. The eroticism is top-notch but, more importantly, many young ladies can learn from this novel and grow to embrace themselves instead of believing that they can't flourish and succeed alone. Even Exchange is an "evergreen" story that will delight readers for decades to come."Zane, NY Times Bestselling Author, Producer, and Publisher

Author: Kerrie HidePublisher: Austin Macauley Publishers
ISBN: 1398452297
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
Grounded in Christian love mysticism, Love’s Oneing gives voice to the luminous consciousness that awakens from within our oneness in God in contemplation. With great sensitivity, the book offers nuanced insight into the marriage of kenosis and desire in contemplation, through the rich tapestry of writings from nine mystics: Julian of Norwich, the Cloud of Unknowing author, Meister Eckhart, Mechthild of Magdeburg, Clare of Assisi, John of the Cross, Teilhard de Chardin, Beatrice Bruteau and Ilia Delio. With the delicate eye of a spiritual director immersed in mystical literature, Kerrie Hide situates these mystical teachings within contemplative prayer, whilst offering a scholarly exploration of contemplative practice to embody the insights. Deeply grounded in traditional and contemporary mystical classics, Hide celebrates how the Christian mystical tradition lays a foundation for the evolutionary growth of communion consciousness and the insights of quantum science, highlighting key moments in contemplation that when surrendered into, open into divine love. Born of intellectual reflection, lived experience and contemplative wisdom, Love’s Oneing makes a unique contribution to the existing literature on contemplation at a time when the recovery of the mystical dimension of life is crucial for the future of our planet in this climate crisis moment.
