A Divine Message of Revelation written by new author Michael Anthony Gagliardi lead by the Holy Spirit. What really inspired me to write this book, was the fact that, everyday I see so many Christian people, even some in my close family, that are so unhappy with life. They always seem to struggle with everything, but yet they say that they believe in God, go to church and even pray to God. Well, during the reading of this book, you will learn and discover, what it will really takes, so you can start living a life more abundantly in every situation that comes across your life's journey here on earth.
This book series a Divine Connection With a Message From God volume II subtitle "Michael!" Yes Lord. " You Have Been Redeemed!" You will learn and discover the real meaning of what it truly means to be redeemed by God at the cross at Calvary. I will also walk you through several of what I truly believe were real personal divine connections with God in Heaven when He spoke to me about Him redeeming me and about my walk and talk with Jesus here on earth and how He healed me before He had to return Back to Heaven to again return. Why God chose me to reveal this certain things to me, I don't fully know. Maybe because my heart mind and soul were and is open to receive it or maybe I guess He knows that I will do something with it, according to His will in Christ Jesus. I truly feel that the Holy Spirit wants me to share it with as many people as possible before His second coming. Well, during the reading of this particular book series volume II, you will also learn and discover how the precious shed blood of Jesus at the cross at Calvary has and will continue to give you victory over any and every situation you face here on Earth, until you enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
In a world where advertisements lead us to hope for a life free from suffering, facing the reality of suffering can be a particular challenge. Yet the reality of suffering is one that we all face in the course of our lives. While Christianity often has the reputation of a tradition that promotes the idea that all suffering is good for you and makes you a better person, there is, in fact, much more variety and nuance to the tradition. While there are those who advocate a wholesale acceptance, there are others who question the source of suffering and call for it to be fought against. This book delves into the world of five theologians--Gregory the Great, Julian of Norwich, Jeremy Taylor, C. S....
Laypeople have a special mission in the church the way they have a special mission in society. In popular devotions the laity created a form of spirituality that lasted for over a millennium. Popular religiosity is alive in Latin America and in US ethnic subcultures. Vatican II redirected lay spirituality toward the liturgy as “the source and summit.” We will visit a parish where this ideal is put into practice, but in the wider church the role of the laity came to be restricted to ecclesial ministries. There are at least four new forms of spirituality in the making. I will first describe a vibrant evangelical church attended by many former Catholics. Next, we will visit a Guatemalan parish where over a thousand parishioners meet weekly in homes and witness to the gospel in their neighborhoods. The charismatic renewal is a major force of renewal in Latin America and among US Latinos. Finally, the spirituality of social justice is alive and well in south Chicago. In sum, this book will introduce you to six or seven major forms of spirituality alive today. Each of them defines a special place and mission for the laity in the church.
