Spiritual Food For A Searching Soul

This book is about our faith that is a blessing for our personal, spiritual and human growth. Those who are humble and open to receive this blessing in their hearts are able to face the multiple challenges of life without being discouraged, distressed or felt abandoned. It is an act of humility that we all need to make in this world of confusion and pride in order to experience the true peace that the Lord came to bring to us. This book is destined to encourage anyone who is concerned with the reality of the Last Day and is willing to deepen his/her faith to stay awake and be prepared for the Lord with the help of the teachings of the faith. It does not matter if that person is an intellectual, teacher, farmer, housewife etc. The book offers a presentation of our own identity as children of God. In everyone of us, there is this spiritual dimension where God communicates with us and which allows us to be called man/woman. It is an aberration that some people call themselves atheists as if they don't believe in God. The irony is that God believes in them and He allows them to be alive and to represent Him on Earth for a particular mission. Confused with the many material things to which they are exposed, those people make the choice not to believe in God. Such a decision is a denial of their own existence because a man or a woman can exist only in relationship with God their Creator. No human being on earth can give life to himself. So, this book is a reaffirmation of our faith expressed in a very simple manner without any complication. This book is also a reminder for us to love our Church and to defend it even though there are many things that are causing us disenchantment. We should not be discouraged rather be happy to know the path that leads to peace and salvation. The Church was started with the betrayal of Judas which has caused the cross of Jesus. This kind of distraction will continue to be present in our world, in our communities and even in the behavior of our leaders however if God is with us who can be against us? Jesus has given us the road we shall follow if we want to be with God our Father. My book is written in harmony with the teachings of the Catholic faith. It goes to the heart of the human person, inviting him/her to maintain the faith in order to understand better his/her role in a world of violence and secularism. We have become violent not only to others but also to ourselves in choosing beliefs and attitudes that do not help us to become obedient, humble and happy people. Many men and women come into the Church but they have an erroneous interpretation of the faith and of the hierarchy. They are not happy about this or about that. They think that they can pick and choose whatever they want. But, it is important to understand that the Church is not and has never been a democracy. The Church is a hierarchy which finds its foundation in the authority the Lord Jesus receives from the Father and through which He said to Peter: "You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church. And the gates of the underworld can never hold out against it".

In an era when we are encouraged to make decisions based on feelings, it is important to know that feelings can push us to make many mistakes in our lives, harm ourselves and hurt others. They can be the cause of our misery especially if we are particularly sensitive and a suspicious person. The difficulty is that feelings can give us a wrong perception of what is happening and cause us to believe what we feel is accurate, while the truth is far away from what we perceive. In our spiritual journey, feelings can be like temptations. If we listen to them, we may reject or destroy a blessing that the Lord has sent us. If we are involved in a relationship and there is something we don't understand, before making any accusation, it is better to ask questions and verify if the perception we have is really true. It is so easy to be judgmental while we are far away from the truth. We all have the capability to bring about peace, if we choose to do so, because the Lord has blessed us all with the gift of conscience where He continues to speak to us wherever we are. If we refuse to be conscious of this duty in which we have to work in developing better ways to communicate, there will always be problems in our midst. Many relationships are destroyed today because someone in the relationship feels something and starts a war based on his or her feelings. This book is written to accompany those who decide to enter a spiritual journey following the Lord so that they may be prudent in using their feelings. The faith is a good tool to channel our feelings in a proper manner. If we follow the Lord by being faithful to the faith, this will certainly help everyone to avoid conflicts, division and violence, which doesn't come from the Holy Spirit but rather from the enemy.

Sacred Pathways reveals nine distinct spiritual temperaments--and their strengths, weaknesses, and tendencies--to help you improve your spiritual life and deepen your personal walk with God. It's time to strip away the frustration of a one-size-fits-all spirituality and discover a path of worship that frees you to be you. Experienced spiritual directors, pastors, and church leaders recognize that all of us engage with God differently, and it's about time we do too. In this updated and expanded edition of Sacred Pathways, Gary Thomas details nine spiritual temperaments and--like the Enneagram and other tools do with personality--encourages you to investigate the ways you most naturally express yourself in your relationship with God. He encourages you to dig into the traits, strengths, and pitfalls in your devotional approach so you can eliminate the barriers that keep you locked into rigid methods of worship and praise. Plus, as you begin to identify and understand your own temperament, you'll soon learn about the temperaments that aren't necessarily "you" but that may help you understand the spiritual tendencies of friends, family, and others around you. Whatever temperament or blend of temperaments best describes you, rest assured it's not by accident. It's by the design of a Creator who knew what he was doing when he made you according to his own unique intentions. If your spiritual walk is not what you'd like it to be, you can change that, starting here. Sacred Pathways will show you the route you were made to travel, marked by growth and filled with the riches of a close walk with God. A Sacred Pathways video Bible study is also available for group or individual use, sold separately.

Spiritual Food or SOUL FOOD is just as important to eat as eating breakfast, lunch or dinner! I am sure you have heard this phrase before, "YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!" It is usually a statement that is made in reference to food. However, it can also be applied to the things we "feed" our thoughts, minds and spirits on a daily basis. The foods we eat are responsible for sustaining our physical bodies and allowing us to maintain good health. Likewise, the PROSPERITY of our SOULS depends on our SPIRITUAL FOOD CHOICES. In other words, what we put in our MINDS by way of our EYES, our EARS, and our MOUTH and the WORDS that come out of our MOUTHS, have the potential to nourish or deplete us SPIRITUALLY! As Believers, we must be sure we are constantly feeding our spirits with the right things, which should mostly or even ALWAYS come from the God's Word.
