Book Description
David Knight was forty years a priest before he learned that priests don't hear sins in confession. "What you are really revealing is your ideals," he says. "The real you has a different set of ideals, reflecting your heart instead of your lapses. This 'you' abides with God." With these words Father Knight reveals that A Fresh Look at Confession is unlike anything you may have read about the sacrament. He speaks about the heart of confession, its meaning and mystery, and why it is so necessary for authentic followers of Christ. This is deep theology, explained in clear language. But it's also much more: Father Knight's moving, intensely personal account of his own journey as a sinner takes readers beyond theory and into the awe-inspiring reality of our complete redemption in Jesus, who does not just forgive, but who "takes away" the sins of the world. From a varied background as missionary, teacher, pastor, professor, retreat director, and campus minister, Father Knight's ministry has come to focus on making mystical experience commonplace in conscious Christian living. Book jacket.

Author: Chad B. Van Dixhoorn Publisher: Banner of Truth ISBN: 9781848714045 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 484
Book Description
This accessible, biblical, and thoughtful work digests years of study and teaching into bite-sized sections. Van Dixhoorn's work is historical and practical in its focus. It deliberately presents readers with more than another survey of Reformed theology; it offers a guide to a particular text, considers its original proof-texts, and seeks to deepen our understanding of each paragraph of the Confession.

Book Description
What does confession mean? Why do I need forgiveness? How can I reconcile a broken relationship? Explore life-changing biblical insights about sin, confession, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Whoever thought that confession could be about God confessing his love for us? In Confession we are reconnected to the voice of God in our soul who whispers -- Do not be afraid. I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine. You are precious in my eyes. God's love transforms our lives and affects our relationships with others. Misplaced guilt and shame paralyze individuals, causing division, bitterness, and blame. Freedom and Forgiveness outlines God's true nature, explores spiritual graces, and promotes spiritual healing found in the sacrament of Reconciliation. This book leads the reader into the gentle and tender embrace of a loving God who longs for a restored relationship with his children. Father Farren's Irish storytelling background comes to the forefront as he writes simply but effectively, opening the door for people to be free to confess their need for God and experience his limitless forgiveness.

Book Description
Scott Pomfret serves as a lector at St. Anthony Shrine in Boston. He also writes gay porn. His boyfriend is a flaming atheist, and his boyfriend’s Protestant grandmother considers Catholicism a sin worse than sodomy. From Pentecost to Pride, from the books of the Bible to the articles of the Advocate, Pomfret’s wry, hysterically funny memoir maps with matchless humor the full spectrum of the gay Catholic experience.

Book Description

But then one of them confesses to the group. It’s a terrible shock, but Julie and the others aren’t going to turn on one of their own just like that—Al was terrible, after all.

Author: Allan Janssen Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers ISBN: 1498286259 Category : Religion Languages : en Pages : 208
Book Description
With the understanding that confession is a witness to the gospel, Confessing the Faith Today investigates how a sixteenth-century Reformation confession, the Belgic Confession, can assist contemporary Christians testify to the truth of Gods gracious turn toward creation and do so in the context of the twenty-first century's competing claims. A close examination of the internal coherence of the Belgic Confession, along with an exploration of how that confession might engage contemporary life, offers fresh insight into how Christians might articulate what is at stake in the gospel. Janssen encourages the church to enter a conversation with the forebears of the faith, acknowledging the historical nature of not only the confession but of God's involvement in all creation.
