Experiencing Jesus' Joy through Obedient Discipleship: Second Edition
Author: Dr. James B. JosephPublisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0989825647
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
Experiencing Jesus' Joy through Obedient Discipleship helps people understand their God-given purpose for existing and understand that each person of every society, culture, and religious background must decide if the one true God is worthy to follow. Although everyone has a nature that has been marred by disobedience toward God, God continually works in everyone's heart and mind to teach the reality of His desire for each to learn to return His love and voluntarily submit to His leadership thereby becoming part of His eternal close-knit holy family. All who listen and learn to return God's love become followers of Christ. Experiencing Jesus' Joy through Obedient Discipleship helps its readers understand the creation more fully including being made in the image of God, spiritual warfare, self-centeredness, spiritual awakening, commitment, sojourning with God, and being His representatives to those who are still struggling with Satan's deceptions and their own self-centeredness.
Quiet strength, a memorial sketch of the life and works of T.P. Boultbee

Author: SangharakshitaPublisher: Windhorse Publications
ISBN: 1911407082
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 664
Book Description
This is the continuing story of Milarepa and his disciple Rechungpa, first encountered in volume 18 of The Complete Works. As portrayed in The Hundred Thousand Songs of Milarepa, Rechungpa is a promising disciple, but he has a lot to learn, being sometimes proud, distracted, anxious, desirous of comfort and praise, over-attached to book learning, stubborn, sulky and liable to go to extremes. In other words, he is very human, and surely recognizable to anyone who has embarked on the spiritual path. He all too often takes his teacher's advice the wrong way, or simply ignores it, and it takes all of Milarepa's skill, compassion and patience to keep their relationship intact and help his unruly disciple to stay on the path to Enlightenment.In the story that begins this volume, matters come to a head when Milarepa burns the books that Rechungpa went all the way to India to acquire, but by the end of the volume, Rechungpa is able to set out on his own mission to teach the Dharma. Much happens in between.Sangharakshita's commentary, based on seminars given in the late 1970s and early 1980s, draws from the stories of Milarepa and his wayward disciple much valuable advice for any would-be spiritual practitioner.

Discipleship in the Ancient World and Matthew’s Gospel, Second Edition
Author: Michael J. WilkinsPublisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 172523596X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
With a comprehensive sweep of the relevant literature--including classical and Hellenistic sources, the Septuagint, and the New Testament--the author defines disciple and related terms as they were used in the ancient world. Pertinent Semitic words from the Hebrew Bible, Rabbinic literature, and Qumran documents provide additional background for the term. A special emphasis is Matthew's use of mathetes and the role of Simon Peter as a model disciple. The study first appeared in 1988 in the prestigious Novum Testamentum Supplements under the title The Concept of Disciple in Matthew's Gospel: As Reflected in the Use of the Term Mathetes. In this second edition, the author includes a new chapter outlining advances in the field since the book was first published.
