Book Description
On our journey to our God-ordained destiny, we often get tempted to drift away from our designated paths and then take highways and byways that we were not supposed to take. We then end up lost, hurt, disappointed, moving around in circles and getting further away from our destiny. When you feel lost and far away from your destiny or Creator, check your ways and the paths you have followed. No matter how far you have travelled, make a U-turn, your Creator is waiting expectantly with open arms to welcome you back. He will never question where you come from. He will never judge what you have done. Instead, He will offer you a resting place for your troubled and broken soul. All that He wants is for you to say "God, here are my broken pieces. Please help me to put them together again, for You are the One Who created me and therefore know which piece belongs where, and You also know where other pieces have fallen." No matter where you are No matter what happened to you No matter when it happened No matter how far you have travelled, "Come and let us return to the Lord, for He has torn (that which is evil in and around us) so that He may heal us: He has stricken (the devil that leads us astray) so that He may bind us up." Hosea 6:1

Augustine's Invention of the Inner Self
Author: Phillip Cary
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0199882754
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
In this book, Phillip Cary argues that Augustine invented the concept of the self as a private inner space-a space into which one can enter and in which one can find God. Although it has often been suggested that Augustine in some way inaugurated the Western tradition of inwardness, this is the first study to pinpoint what was new about Augustine's philosophy of inwardness and situate it within a narrative of his intellectual development and his relationship to the Platonist tradition. Augustine invents the inner self, Cary argues, in order to solve a particular conceptual problem. Augustine is attracted to the Neoplatonist inward turn, which located God within the soul, yet remains loyal to the orthodox Catholic teaching that the soul is not divine. He combines the two emphases by urging us to turn "in then up"--to enter the inner world of the self before gazing at the divine Light above the human mind. Cary situates Augustine's idea of the self historically in both the Platonist and the Christian traditions. The concept of private inner self, he shows, is a development within the history of the Platonist concept of intelligibility or intellectual vision, which establishes a kind of kinship between the human intellect and the divine things it sees. Though not the only Platonist in the Christian tradition, Augustine stands out for his devotion to this concept of intelligibility and his willingness to apply it even to God. This leads him to downplay the doctrine that God is incomprehensible, as he is convinced that it is natural for the mind's eye, when cleansed of sin, to see and understand God. In describing Augustine's invention of the inner self, Cary's fascinating book sheds new light on Augustine's life and thought, and shows how Augustine's position developed into the more orthodox Augustine we know from his later writings.

The Shift
Author: Wayne W. Dyer
Publisher: ReadHowYouWant.com
ISBN: 1458754189
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 146
Book Description
As we contemplate leaving the morning of our life, where ego has played a commanding role, and entering the afternoon (and evening), where meaning and purpose replace ambition and struggle, we may encounter unexpected occurrences that accompany this new direction. It's almost a universal law that we'll experience a fall of some kind. Yet these falls or low points provide the energy we need to move away from ego and into a life of meaning and purpose. The Shift doesn't mean that we lose our drive and ambition; it signifies that we become ambitious about something new. We make a commitment to living a life based on experiencing meaning and feeling purposeful, rather than a life based on never-ending demands and false promises that are the trademark of the ego's agenda.

Yuva Bharat
Author: Devir Singh Bhandari
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 9388414071
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity.... These immortal lines of Charles Dickens perhaps aptly describe everything Yuva Bharat reflects. In an uncanny reflection of the times we are living in while this book is being released, it talks about what the world needs to read right now. For these are the times of COVID-19. These are the times when 'normal' has been redefined. Author Devir traces the journey of 69 young men and women who defined their own 'new normal'. He talks about people whose worlds collapsed way before COVID-19 had hit us and who emerged victorious against undefinable odds-people of sheer grit who did not need legs to win races; people who vested their faith in the unseen; or people who rose from the ashes like the proverbial phoenix. Some of the remarkable stories include the struggles, learnings and indomitable passions of Rajkummar Rao, Kiren Rijiju, Aditi Rao Hydari, Remo D'souza, Abhinav Bindra and Chitrangada Singh, among many others, who each went on to excel in their own craft. Yuva Bharat encompasses these tales of overcoming all odds and achieving success eventually. A compelling narrative, it takes us through life journeys and inspires us to get up in this instant and take charge of our lives. A straight shot of adrenaline, Devir gives us our carpe diem moment!
