Seeking Freedom And Joy In The Winding Path Of Life

Things are as they are because in no other way can they be. Seeking Freedom and Joy in the Winding Path of Life: A Spiritual Journey of Learning and Self-discovery, the moving autobiography of author Antonietta Francini, MD, tells the doctor's story of surviving World War II, battling cancer, and finding the healing power of mystical and esoteric teachings during a trip to India. Growing up in Rome, Dr. Francini experiences firsthand the cruelties of World War II, whose sights and sounds make her hate God for allowing such suffering. At the age of twenty, she leaves Italy to begin a new life in Venezuela, enrolling at the university as a medical student and receiving her degree four years later. Dr. Francini soon completes specialized training in gynecology, gets married, and starts a family. But in the fall of 1964, drastic changes in her health lead to a diagnosis of invasive thyroid cancer. After radical surgery to remove the tumor, Dr. Francini still blames God for all suffering-hers and others'-and she knows she needs to recover her faith. She embarks on a spiritual quest for peace, an adventure she shares in her multifaceted autobiography, Seeking Freedom and Joy in the Winding Path of Life.

Dr. Antonietta Francini has not had an easy life. Stricken with post-traumatic stress syndrome after World War II and subsequent terminal cancer, she is a true example of courage, determination, faith, and the ways in which one woman can walk through struggles and come out a better person for it in the end. Now retired, Dr. Francini shares the compelling details of the second part of her life and how she has attained a happy, rewarding life even into her eighties. She divides her story into two parts that first detail the story of her life and then explain the philosophy that guided her behavior throughout her extraordinary spiritual journey. Upon receiving her cancer diagnosis in 1965, Dr. Francini shares how she found healing with the help of surgery, diet, yoga, meditation, visualization, and breathing exercises. But it was not until she experienced a spiritual awakening in India that she learned to completely heal her soul and understood the power of unconditional love. As she offers a glimpse into her journey, she shares the cultural and spiritual factors that influenced her well-being and how she eventually evolved through forgiveness and selfless love. Seeking Health and Joy shares the extraordinary life story of one woman's hard-earned, joyful wisdom as she learns to embrace the cosmic powers for successful aging.

With warmth, wisdom, and compassion, David Arthur Auten invites us to reclaim the secretive, intuitive nature of authentic becoming. In a time when many are increasingly disenchanted with traditional demarcations between belief and unbelief, the sacred and secular, Auten offers a refreshing account of what faith can look like beyond the bounds of religion. Those thirsting for reacquaintance with true selfhood, and the ability to heed the gift of their own inner voice, will find consolation and inspiration in the author's story of leaving behind the church, ministry, and also God, not in exchange for an atheist or even humanist outlook, but as an act of faith itself. Transgressive, insightful, and candid, Leaving God Behind is a memoir of following God beyond God, to a place of self-compassion, surrender, and homecoming.

As a cabin awaits its form and purpose, an elk seeks comfort in the tall grass, and a man ventures into the woods with his ax. His goal is to find logs that will help him build the walls, floor, and roof of his new home. At the end of the day, he returns to his wagon, his family, and his dreams. As he labors day after day, finally the cabin becomes a reality. He and his family have completed their journey toward a new life--and home. With his dream now fulfilled, Anviel welcomes his wife, Lakina, and their children, Svend and Astrid, to the cabin to laugh, cry, sing, dance, pray, and give thanks for the bounty given to them. As the family ekes out an existence in the serene valley they share with an owl--whose voice haunts Anviel--despair and tribulation eventually visit. Still, the family endures year after year. The children come of age and Anviel works hard to make ends meet--until the owl calls his wife's name, leaving Anviel left wondering when his own time will come. In this poignant tale, an immigrant family embarks on a journey toward a new beginning where a lonely cabin beckons hope for the future and renews their spirit as life comes full circle.

Most books on church leadership today emphasize techniques for growth, success, and brand-building. But Jeff Tacklind, pastor of Church by the Sea—a quirky, diverse congregation in Laguna Beach, California—knows from decades of ministry experience that sometimes effective leadership looks like standing in the middle of conflict, holding the tension. In The Winding Path of Transformation, Tacklind describes spiritual transformation as an invitation to paradox. By entering into suffering, he says, we find joy. By embracing the downward path of humility, we find glory. And by remaining small, sometimes we grow to great heights. Any leaders who have wondered if God really called them to lead a congregation will resonate with Tacklind's vulnerability in this honest and meditative account. So will readers who have found their own spiritual journey to be winding and halting rather than a constant ascent of growth. Tacklind draws from the natural world—trees, waves, mountains, and canyons—to bring to life the lessons that he has picked up along the way. C. S. Lewis, Henri Nouwen, Søren Kierkegaard and others all serve as guides who light the way on the winding path of following God.

Eloquent and original, this album of stanzas and verses shimmers and resonates with soulful, poetic song. Sorrow and tears ripple through the heart of the lyrics, yet the buoyancy of beauty, solace and peace, contemplative hope, pleasure, joy, and keen insight glisten like brilliant stars against a dark-filled sky. The fabric of the poems is emotionally exuberant as well as thoughtfully creative and imaginative.
