Описание:
In the teachings of Jesus, there are prayers, and then there is prayer--the silent, loving communion with the divine, beyond words or ritual. With Father Thomas Keating's book Open Mind, Open Heart, hundreds of thousands discovered the transformative power of Centering Prayer as a form of Christian meditation. Now, with The Path of Centering Prayer, Keating's senior student, friend, and advisor David Frenette reveals the profound depths of this practice, making it easier for meditators to deepen their connection with God.
Has your spiritual path grown routine or unfulfilling, or is it at a crossroads for new discovery? For all Christians who seek to move closer into the presence of the divine, The Path of Centering Prayer offers guidance in this rewarding and time-honored meditation practice, to help break through obstacles and illuminate the way.
"This book in my view is the best, most comprehensive, and most practical book on centering prayer." --Father Thomas Keating
"In this beautiful book, David Frenette expands the map of the known Centering Prayer universe. With the blessing of his spiritual father, Thomas Keating, David develops and gently reshapes fundamental building blocks of the Centering Prayer teaching. This is an important moment in the Centering Prayer lineage transmission, when a faithful student emerges into mastery. David's work will breathe significant new life into your personal practice." --Rev. Cynthia Bourgeault, author of Centering Prayer and Inner Awakening
"This excellent book represents Christianity come to maturity Here you will find good theology, good practice, good psychology, and a recovery of the foundation itself--how to live in communion all the time." --Fr. Richard Rohr, OFM, founding Director of the Center for Action and Contemplation
"With simplicity and great wisdom, David Frenette reconnects you to the universal tradition of how to open to God, how to pray in silence, and finally, how to let the spirit pray within your heart. If you want, or need, to be drawn deeper into prayer, read this book and live its guidance." --Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, PhD, Sufi teacher and author of Prayer of the Heart in Christian and Sufi Mysticism
"In his lucid guide to Centering Prayer, David Frenette navigates a path for beginners and seasoned practitioners who wish to enter ever-deepening states of loving friendship with the Divine." --Mirabai Starr, author of God of Love: A Guide to the Heart of Judaism, Christianity and Islam
"This wonderful book provides direction, encouragement, and support for a prayer practice with ancient roots. Drawing on his considerable experience as a spiritual director, David Frenette skillfully shares stories and offers wisdom that illuminates the heart of the practice and will lead practitioners through the subtle challenges that inevitably arise in the process of living into ever-deepening levels of prayer. This is a book not only to be read, but to be consulted regularly for insight and help along the way." --The Right Reverend Robert O'Neill, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Colorado
"The Path of Centering Prayer is a beam of light in what can sometimes be a dark and unknown journey with God. It is written from the heart of David's relationship with God and his discoveries along his contemplative journey in solitude, in community, and in spiritual direction. From this place of wisdom, David enlightens readers with encouragement and enrichment, which will nourish them in their own commitment to the centering prayer practice and the contemplative life." --Gail Fitzpatrick-Hopler, President of Contemplative Outreach, Ltd.
This far-ranging book presents God, the Ultimate Mystery of non-created Reality, as Christ--the One Who loves us. Spirituality beyond language and in general; the inner mystical meaning of the Cross of Christ; differing Christian windows found in the stages of evolving consciousness identified by Integral Theory; and Centering Prayer's close relationship to all of this are core themes in this work. An important insight of Integral Theory reveals that when people are unaware of the stages of evolving consciousness, they tend to believe that the perspectives of their own stage(s) are the only true or realistic views--which is actually untrue and leads to needless confusion, conflict and misunderstandings among individuals in different stages of evolving consciousness.
Additionally: prayer; the allegorical sense of Scripture; Lectio Divina; grades of evolving love; duality/non-duality; and apophatic theology are also major topics discussed. The gift of non-conceptual contemplation, into which Centering Prayer leads us, is shown to be a key to Christian unity and harmony among all religious and spiritual traditions seeking to serve the One Who loves us. Non-conceptual Centering Prayer--as a movement into simplicity and silence--is readily available to people seeking a deeper spirituality in all denominations and in all stages of evolving consciousness.

Описание:
This unique book draws on "the secret wisdom of Israel" (Qabalistic Tree of Life) to describe the soul's inner purification, healing and rebirth in Christ rooted deep in the mysterious process and inner silence of non-conceptual contemplative prayer. "Prayer in secret" (Matt. 6:6) is prayer in the unconscious. Using the Tree of Life as a map of universal creation and the individual soul (Macrocosm and microcosm), Centering Prayer and Rebirth in Christ offers a detailed and revealing look into the hidden workings of the Spirit in the soul's inner depths. When read slowly and thoughtfully, this book elevates the mind, offering what is, for most of us, a new vision of our evolving life in Christ and Christ in us.
The essence of Centering Prayer is consenting to God's presence and action in us and in our life. The work of the Spirit in us aims to bring us from the limitations and disappointments of our false self (over-identifi cation with the separate-self sense of ego and its ill-conceived desires) into the fulfillment of our true self as a spiritual being. As the false self's obstacles are removed by the divine action, which needs our willing consent and cooperation, our growing freedom to consent becomes cause for increasing peace and joy in the soul. This is a gift of divine love that brings us step by step into the fullness of our life in Christ--which is a continuing rebirth into the limitless light, life, and love of the divine consciousness.
The intended purpose of Centering Prayer's conceptual background is to support the actual practice of non-conceptual contemplative prayer and the wondrous process of inner spiritual unfolding that Centering Prayer facilitates.

Описание: The culture in which we live is an infectious and polarizing wilderness. Facing the challenges of society will require strength outside of us to be successful. It will require faith in God, through His Son Jesus Christ, to address hate, injustice, implicit bias, division, poverty, anti-Semitism, etc. Now more than ever, we must stand on the promises of God through obedience to His Word and not sit on His premises if positive change is to take place in our culture through Christianity. As the scriptures tell us, "For unto us a Child was born, a Son was given, and the government is on His shoulders; and His name is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:6). God promises victory to those who believe, obey His Word, and stand on His promises.

Описание: You were raised up for this moment to speak on behalf of Heaven.The battle is raging. Two realms are seeking to influence the natural world - light or darkness. There is no middle ground. Depending on how you participate and show up in life, either Heaven or Hell will advance its agenda into the Earth. The invisible world, by and large, does not simply manifest its objectives and agendas. It seeks a person and requires a voice. The choice is yours: will you be a voice for Heaven to advance in the Earth... or an idle endorser of Hell's agenda to steal, kill and destroy? Mario Murillo is a bestselling author, popular blogger, and minister of the Gospel. He has been an evangelist for nearly 50 years. As culture has changed, Murillo's message has remained fixed and steadfast. As culture shifts again, God is looking to raise up an army of prophetic people whose voices have impact and actually shape the direction of their nations. Do Not Leave Quietly is a prophetic call to action for every single reader to:
To fulfill your destiny, live with purpose and feel significant.
Give your life and voice to speaking what the Spirit of God is saying.
Activating the key to seeing signs and wonders flow.
Discover the secret to prophesying with power and holy thunder.
Enter the doorway to releasing deliverance.
It's time for the people of God to break the silence. It's time for those who carry the Word of God to boldly speak forth in love and truth. You were born to be a voice of breakthrough
Описание: Are you the type of leader who would intentionally allow your ministry effectiveness to be undermined? Do you blindly pursue after emerging trends in ministry and in culture that might lead you into pitfalls? Would you consciously let your own thoughts and feelings influence and misguide you in your decision-making? Probably not. When you give an account of your leadership to God, I'm sure you'll want to have done everything you can to hear him say, "Well done " Soliloquy № 7 looks to the timeless wisdom of Solomon and exposes five areas where church leaders like you can become susceptible to developing flaws in your thinking and make your ministry ineffective. You'll discover how these mental mistakes affect the way you think when it comes to: - Defining and achieving success in ministry - Being missionally relevant and culturally relevant - Making disciples and building ministries - Responding to difficult people, situations, and seasons of ministry - Deciding when to "Go with the flow" or "Go against the grain" Soliloquy № 7 takes a unique approach to explore these issues, challenging you to contemplate, clarify, and re-calibrate your thought process so you can lead with a new paradigm of how you think in ministry.
