Living the Truth in Love

Languages : en
Pages : 357

Book Description
Living the Truth in Love grew out of the desire to provide answers to the questions posed for the Synod on Marriage called by Pope Francis: How can the Christian community give pastoral attention to families with persons with same-sex attraction? While avoiding any unjust discrimination, how can the Church give such persons pastoral care in light of the Gospel? How can God's will be proposed to them in their situation? People who want to be instruments of Christ's love to those who experience same-sex attraction (SSA) seek guidance on how best to do so. They need to listen to the stories of those who experience SSA and the stories of those who have accompanied them on their journeys. They also need to ground their responses in a genuine Christian understanding of the human person and of human sexuality. This volume includes essays that lay out the Christian view of the human person and of human sexuality, essays that challenge the bifurcation of sexualities into "heterosexual" and "homosexual". Topics include an explanation of the meaning of the word "disorder", a discussion of the therapeutic power of friendship, and an application of Saint John Paul II’s personalism to the question of same-sex attraction. Psychologists and counselors explain various ways of affirming those who experience SSA and of leading them to experience the power of Christ’s healing love. Several of those who experience SSA tell their touching and inspiring stories.

The Truth About Love and Fear

Author: Rudolf Eckhardt
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1504310101
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 363

Book Description
We live every day without being aware that fear controls many of our choices and decisions. The consequences our fear-based behavior has on our life and relationships also contributes to the collective fear and distrust in the world. When we recognize fear for what it really is, we can initiate an effort to deal with it. In The Truth About Love and Fear, author Rudolf Eckhardt shows how we can take individual responsibility for our issues by addressing our fears and insecurities. This will transform our lives and the lives of those around us. He provides answers to questions about consciousness, life, and relationships and discusses how life is about being and not about doing; you can be a powerful person, rather than just engaging in acts of power; true change is different from changing your feelings, perception, thoughts, and behaviors; it feels to experience unconditional love; fear and guilt have power; and love and fear influence your mind and control your behavior. The Truth About Love and Fear leads you to a new understanding of the nature of unconditional love, acceptance, and trust and explains the potential of your personal power and the lack of it in your life. It challenges your present way of thinking, makes you question your perception, ad changes your belief of who you are and the way you see your relationships and life. It alters your thoughts of your past, your present, and your future.
