NCLA Review: Life brings invitations, some we desperately want to receive and others that we want to ignore. The invitations we say yes to, and the ones we say no to, determine the terrain of our future. The author refers to the parable that Jesus told in Luke 14:16-23 about the man who invited many guests to his banquet, but they all made excuses. Are we ignoring the invitations that matter most? Do the invitations we accept nurture and grow our body, soul and spirit? God’s invitations are meant to mend, shape, anchor and grow us into the character of Jesus. The author reminds us that we receive invitations from God to rest, to weep, to admit a wrong, to forgive, to wait, to pray, to remember and an invitation to practice the presence of people. Each chapter begins with an overview of the invitation (e.g., to wait) and roadblocks that we might face in accepting the invitation. Invitations change nothing in us unless we say, “Yes. Your will be done on earth and in me.” Rating: 4 —SV ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Some invitations we desperately want: "Will you marry me?" "Would you consider a promotion?" Other invitations we never want to receive but must respond to all the same: "What treatment do you want for your tumor?" Invitations pound away at the coastlines of the soul with a transforming force.God is also sending invitations. Sometimes they seem less compelling than anything on my to-do list. Why would I want to say yes to the invitation to rest when I'm already so far behind? Why follow when I could lead? Why accept invitations to weep or to admit I am wrong or to wait? Saying yes might slow me down, sabotage my agenda and even undo who I think I am.Adele Calhoun, author of the popular Spiritual Disciplines Handbook, offers a book about invitations like these--divine invitations we miss or ignore because we've said yes to going with the cultural flow.While these invitations from God can sometimes be difficult to accept, they can heal and restore even as they shape where we go, what we do and who we become. What we say yes to, what we say no to forms the terrain of our future.Included in this book are reflection questions and exercises as well as overview charts with recommended disciplines to guide you through each theme. As you attend to the often hidden, quiet voice of the Great Inviter, you will find yourself as God created you to be. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
