Chronic Illness and the Twelve Steps: A Practical Approach to Spiritual Resilience
by Martha ClevelandA self-help guide for those who are chronically ill.When we live with a chronic illness or disability, our spirit is tested. And though we may have no say in our sickness, how we meet its spiritual challenge is entirely up to us. This is the message of Martha Cleveland's heartening book, which maps the spiral of emotional pain that steals the energy of the chronically ill--and shows how to turn this spiral into a path toward spiritual growth. Cleveland herself turned to the Twelve Steps for support during almost two decades of a recurring illness that defied diagnosis. In this book, she shares what the Twelve Step program teaches her about living with chronic illness--coping with feelings of pain, anger, hopelessness, and isolation--and about offsetting such negative emotions with spiritual wellness. An invitation to choose joy over despair, her book reveals how chronic illness can open the spirit to acceptance, serenity, and fulfillment.

Chronic Sorrow
by Susan RoosGrief and loss are burgeoning concerns for professional disciplines such as nursing, social work, family therapy, psychology, psychiatry, law, religion and medicine. Although understanding has increased in virtually all other areas of grief and loss, chronic sorrow has received scant attention. Chronic sorrow is a natural grief reaction to losses that are not final, but continue to be present in the life of the griever. This book views chronic sorrow in a life-span perspective, and reveals the effect on the griever and the people close to them. This book fills a void in the literature; and attempts to develop a comprehensive analysis of chronic sorrow that will secure its position within the field of grief and loss.

The Church As A Culture Of Care: Finding Hope In Biblical Community
by T. Dale JohnsonWe all know people in our world are struggling--eating disorders, addictions, depression, sexual issues, marital problems--the list goes on and on. Can the church help or is that an outdated concept that no longer fits modern problems? In The Church as a Culture of Care, biblical counselor Dale Johnson explains that the church is still the primary place where those who struggle can receive lasting hope and healing. Pastors and lay leaders in the church often feel inadequate to address certain needs and are unsure of how to help. This book is designed to help erase the stigma of "mental health issues" in the church and to present the church as the primary haven for answers to deep-seated human problems. Readers will learn that God has designed every function of the church to be an integral part of soul care. God has provided the church with the necessary us to care well for one another. Prayer, the Word, the work of the Holy Spirit, and Christian community are God's provisions to lead all of us to Christ--even those with the deepest struggles. Counselors, ministers, and lay leaders will be empowered to have confidence in God's purpose for the church, the power of his Spirit, and the sufficiency of his Word for soul care.

by Matthew L. Stevenson IIIHOLINESS ISN'T JUST WHAT YOU SEE ON SUNDAYS.&“I see you over there worshiping but, you know, you&’re going to have to get that piercing out of your eyebrow.&” —CHURCHGOER The Bible says God looks at the heart (1 Sam. 16:7) and we are called to do the same.

Stevenson III exposes the traditions that root us in religiosity and prevent us from spreading the good news.

The Church-Idea An Essay Towards Unity: An Essay Towards Unity (classic Reprint)
by William Reed HuntingtonWilliam Reed Huntington, a pioneer of the modern ecumenical movement, wrote this persuasive and impassioned plea for unity in 1879. It ultimately led to the Chicago Quadrilateral, the Episcopal Church's first statement about ecumenism.Now, as many Christians are considering how they might affiliate with those in other denominations, Huntington's book gains contemporary relevance. But ecumenical conversations about unity often get bogged down in resolving endless details. Huntington crystallized the discussion, proposing only four essential views for uniting all Christian churches: 1) Holy Scripture is the Word of God; 2) the Nicene and Apostle's Creeds are the rule of faith; 3) there are two sacraments (baptism and eucharist) ordained by Christ; and 4) the Episcopate is the keystone of governmental unity.In The Church-Idea, Huntington addresses the importance of uniting not only the Protestant churches with each other, but Protestant churches with the Roman Catholic Church as well. It is a plea that is historically significant, prophetic, and much needed today.-Print ed.

Church of the Small Things: The Million Little Pieces That Make Up a Life
by Melanie Shankle Ree DrummondIs my ordinary, everyday life actually significant? Is it okay to be fulfilled by the simple acts of raising kids, working in an office, and cooking chicken for dinner?It’s been said, “Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the number of moments that take our breath away.” The pressure of that can be staggering as we spend our days looking for that big thing that promises to take our breath away. Meanwhile, we lose sight of the small significance of fully living with every breath we take.Melanie Shankle, New York Times bestselling author and writer at The Big Mama Blog tackles these questions head on in her fourth book, Church of the Small Things. Easygoing and relatable, she speaks directly to the heart of women of all ages who are longing to find significance and meaning in the normal, sometimes mundane world of driving carpool to soccer practice, attending class on their college campus, cooking meals for their family, or taking care of a sick loved one.The million little pieces that make a life aren’t necessarily glamorous or far-reaching. But God uses some of the smallest, most ordinary acts of faithfulness—and sometimes they look a whole lot like packing lunch. Through humorous stories told in her signature style, full of Frito pie, best friends, the love of her Me-Ma and Pa-Pa, the unexpected grace that comes when we quit trying to measure up, and a little of the best TV has to offer, Melanie helps women embrace what it means to live a simple, yet incredibly meaningful life and how to find all the beauty and laughter that lies right beneath the surface of every moment.

Churchill-Canfield's Law: What Can Go Right Will Go Right
by Cheryl Canfield and Randal ChurchillChurchill-Canfield's Law is an empowering and inspiring look at the incredible potential of our own minds to create lives of meaning and purpose. It contains many insights on the psychological Laws of Mind: what we focus on we tend to manifest. Therefore, as Murphy s Law professes, when our attitude and focus is negative we tend to manifest the negative. The converse is a powerful demonstration of the power of the mind: when our attitude and focus is positive we tend to manifest the positive. When transformational practices like visualization, meditation and self-hypnosis are employed, outcomes can break through limitation to boundless possibilities. This book is built around several themes. First, a recognition of our inherent potential to tap into a greater awareness, giving unlimited access to intellectual and creative aspects of the mind. Second, glimpses into historical and biographical stories that serve as a foundation upon which to enrich and transform the quality of life. Third, simple examples and exercises that begin to open a vision for personal direction, focus and purpose not just for one s self, but as a meaningful part of the whole.

Cicero on the Emotions: Tusculan Disputations 3 and 4
by Marcus TulliusThe third and fourth books of Cicero's Tusculan Disputations deal with the nature and management of human emotion: first grief, then the emotions in general. In lively and accessible style, Cicero presents the insights of Greek philosophers on the subject, reporting the views of Epicureans and Peripatetics and giving a detailed account of the Stoic position, which he himself favors for its close reasoning and moral earnestness. Both the specialist and the general reader will be fascinated by the Stoics' analysis of the causes of grief, their classification of emotions by genus and species, their lists of oddly named character flaws, and by the philosophical debate that develops over the utility of anger in politics and war. Margaret Graver's elegant and idiomatic translation makes Cicero's work accessible not just to classicists but to anyone interested in ancient philosophy and psychotherapy or in the philosophy of emotion. The accompanying commentary explains the philosophical concepts discussed in the text and supplies many helpful parallels from Greek sources.
