A Friendship Like No Other
Author: William A. BarryPublisher: Loyola Press
ISBN: 0829429697
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
Live in the love of a God who desires a relationship with you. Throughout A Friendship Like No Other, renowned spiritual director William A. Barry, SJ, explores the premise that God wants to relate to us as a close friend. Barry has contemplated this idea—radical for many Christians—throughout his lifetime, and he explains that it actually traces back to the “developing revelation of God contained in the Bible.” A Friendship Like No Other offers three well-supported and practical sections: prayerful exercises to help lead you to the conviction that God wants your friendship; a close look at objections to this idea; and reflections on experiencing the presence of God and discerning those experiences. Brief, personal meditations are woven throughout. Grounded in biblical tradition and with a clear focus on Ignatian spirituality, this book offers a fresh, heart-changing approach to living joyfully in the freedom of the divine embrace.

God Gives Us Friends

Author: Rich WilkersonPublisher: HarperChristian + ORM
ISBN: 0718032713

Languages : en
Pages : 234
Book Description
Pastor and writer Rich Wilkerson Jr. shines a spotlight on every Christian’s calling to reach the world, seek the lost, and save sinners with Jesus’ scandalous message of the gospel of grace. In Friend of Sinners, we learn: that by following his example, we can have the same clear conviction and compassion for the lost that he did, that His gospel of scandalous grace cannot be overestimated, and How to embrace the truth that we all need Jesus equally. The Bible calls Jesus a friend of sinners. What does that mean? In Friend of Sinners, Rich Wilkerson Jr. shows readers the profound implications of the reality that Jesus calls us “friends, not because of who we are or what we have done, but because of who he is. While he was on earth, Jesus knew that people needed to feel like they belong before they would want to behave. He understood that the power within him was greater than the darkness around him, so he loved fearlessly.

When I spoke to the Lord about friendship, He told me that there is one who possesses everything that we need in a friend. If we have accepted Jesus in our hearts then we are given Holy Spirit. He becomes our best friend. The world does not know anything about Him because they have not accepted Jesus into their heart. Proverbs 18:24 "A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." His name is Holy Spirit.
Created to Be God's Friend Workbook

Pages : 167
Book Description
What if we knew our lives - our everyday lives - Held a significant place in God's great plans? Would not everything take on a different cast? Henry Blackaby, author of the bestselling Experiencing God book and bible study material, believes that no Christian need live without a God-given direction. "To understand that in fact God did know you and choose you from eternity," he writes, "will give you an enormous sense of purpose in life." In Created to Be God's Friend Workbook, Henry Blackaby and Kerry Skinner turn to the Old Testament patriarch Abraham to show how we can walk in growing faith and friendship with God. The Bible's compelling portraits of Abraham have profound relevance for us; through them we see how faith and obedience lead to a lifetime of joyous blessing, even when they seem bewildering and difficult. This stand-alone workbook, which can also be read as a companion to the trade book Created to Be God's Friend, provides illuminating questions and provocative insights, allowing individuals and groups to explore how to: Let God take the initiative to make us His friends Follow the Lord's timing when striking out for new territory and taking risks Deal with the consequences of divine commands and opportunities we have ignored Avoid letting success distract us from following God's call Believe that God can bring what He started to a grand conclusion "For the God of the universe to have thoughts and purposes for us," Blackaby and Skinner remind us, "also means that He will be at work in us and around us to bring them to pass." It was true for Abraham's life. It can be true for ours as well. This format is designed for either individuals or group leaders. Created to Be God's Friend is a remarkable study in our relationship with a personal God who is constantly working in each of our lives. Previous editions: 0-7852-6758-1.
