Learning Religion

I believe that remembering Bible verses (and I am no expert at this) can help provide a person with strength, wisdom, and can be very helpful with spiritual attacks from the enemy. Even if you do not believe in Christian faith, the Bible has many inspirational verses that I believe can help any person, through difficult times. This book was written in hopes of helping myself, as well as others, to learn Bible verses, so that I or they will be able to use them when needed.

Pico Iyer has made more than one hundred retreats over the past three decades to a small Benedictine hermitage high above the sea in Big Sur, California. He’s not a Christian—or a member of any religious group—but his life has been transformed by these periods of time spent in silence. That silence reminds him of what is essential and awakens a joy that nothing can efface. It’s not just freedom from distraction and noise and rush: it’s a reminder of some deeper truths he misplaced along the way. In Aflame, Iyer connects with inner stillness and joy in his many seasons at the monastery.

Learning My Name is the harrowing chronicle of a fearful prodigal putting family relationships on the line as he learns to trust the love of both his dad and his heavenly Father for the sake of putting neurotic, addictive thinking to rest. This book is more than the author's story; it is the story of humanitys interaction with God.

Jesus lived in a way that all people admire—compassionate, humble, committed, wise, and self-sacrificial. Yet Jesus calls people to do more than admire him. He invites us to learn his way and develop his character by becoming his disciples. The School of Christ is a book for those who want to take Jesus' yoke and grow to be more like him. We stand alongside his disciples as he challenges them to face their fears, abandon their ambitions, and learn to love.

Loss brings with it many layers of grief that need to be addressed. Healing from losses requires more than just talking about our pain; it involves working through the twists and turns of conflicting emotions and confronting questions that often have no satisfactory answers. It is reassembling the pieces of life that have been shattered by assumptions and expectations in order to create a new beginning. Within the process we begin to heal and recover. But as we close one chapter of life, we need tools and information to begin a new chapter.

While teaching ethics is universally applauded, how one goes about it is much more difficult and contested than is often recognized. On Teaching and Learning Christian Ethics addresses what it means to teach and learn ethics through a thorough comparison of two ethicists, Henry Sidgwick and F. D. Maurice. Where Sidgwick understood ethics as developing a method for guiding voluntary action to what is right, Maurice maintained that ethics concerns life as a whole, and that requires placing it within a metaphysical and theological realm in which the good is much more definitive than right.

Who ever imagined that sexually transmitted disease would be on the rise in the 21st century? That as teen pregnancies declined, pregnancies of unmarried women would increase? That 20th century shock at a leader’s hidden sexual sin would dissolve into 21st century indifference about a leader’s public bragging? This update of Nora Fozard’s Christian classic about the secrets of sex and marriage examines the root causes of sexual sin and offers practical solutions from the Bible for women, men, and church leaders.

Trying to lead the Christian life without the Holy Spirit’s power is like trying to function without air. It’s simply not possible. However, many Christians are attempting to follow Jesus without a close relationship with the Holy Spirit. As a result, we face a widespread spiritual crisis that is disrupting our connection to God and preventing us from becoming the people he is calling us to be.

Learning to Live Lightly depends on maturing as a Christian. We learn as we move along in the journey. We must acknowledge our need, believe in the creator, and claim his promises. Finding the path of light and hope requires a walk with the Lord and the presence of the Holy Spirit. It is possible. It is achievable. Prayer is the key to a close relationship with our Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We can live lightly in him.
