Benedict J. Groeschel Knihy

Publikácia je vhodná pre kresťanov, ktorí sa snažia brať svoj duchovný vývoj vážne a pre tých, ktorí im v tom pomáhajú. Nájdeme tu postrehy a výskumy zo psychológie spojené s tradičnou osnovou duchovného rastu. Kniha čitateľa privádza k lepšiemu vzťahu k Bohu cez poznanie Boha a poznanie osobných vlastností. Bližšie nám ozrejmuje pojem psychológia spirituality, učenie o troch cestách v duchovnom vývoji v prvej časti knihy. Druhá časť nás obohacuje o psychologické chápanie troch ciest ako etáp duchovného rastu: očistenie, osvietenie, cestu zjednotenia. Posledné vety kapitoly sú ukončené modlitbou: „ ... Pane, daj, aby som bol ochotný počúvať ťa, ktorý stojíš a klopeš práve teraz, kde stojím ja, pripravený urobiť ďalší správny krok ku tebe a s tvojou neprestajnou pomocou urobiť aj ten ďalší a ďalší a ďalší.“. Hoci táto kniha je napísaná pre hlboko veriacich ľudí, nečíta sa pre oddych, ale skôr pre zamyslenie a poučenie, predsa nám môže pomôcť zamyslieť sa nad naším vzťahom k Bohu.

Co dělat, když život ztratil smysl. Kněz a psycholog se zamýšlí nad tím, jak se vyrovnat s utrpením v našem životě. Proč dobrý Bůh dovoluje zlo? Lidská mysl nedokáže dát na tuto otázku uspokojivou odpověď. Ani tato kniha není odpovědí. Je o přežití, o využití těchto nevyhnutelně temných údobí života k růstu. Kniha je průvodcem pro ty, kdo jsou v temnotě.

A Drama of Reform is the story of the new order founded by Fr. Benedict Groeschel and seven other Capuchin friars, and of the first two decades of a reform in religious life begun in 1987. United in the desire to be authentic disciples of Jesus Christ and following in the footsteps of Saint Francis, they want to encourage the army of Christians of all denominations who are discouraged by the erosion of Gospel values in our culture.This inspirational volume combines more than 100 dramatic photos from the interesting and varied aspects of their daily lives. Along with the wonderful photos, members of the two independent communities of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal and Franciscan Sisters of the Renewal provide short essays on their life, which will enable others to experience the earnestness and enthusiasm of this young and fervent group. More than one hundred sisters and friars from a dozen countries have come together with the common desire to follow the Gospel of Jesus Christ after the example of Saint Francis and the tradition of the Capuchin reform.Well-known for their work with the poor and homeless in the South Bronx and other deprived areas, these Franciscans communicate a deep sense of the joy and love of those trying to be totally committed to living the Gospel in an increasingly de-Christianized world.

World-renown author, Fr. Benedict J. Groeschel, shows how Augustine's influential work is just as relevant today as it was 1,600 years ago. A charming and accessible approach to the master, Augustine combines a variety of translations with Groeschel's own reflections and insight.

Focuses on values and attitudes drawn from the Gospels and the literature of Christian spirituality to discover solutions to psychological problems. Father Benedict offers a series of therapeutic meditations for readers with an interest in spirituality.

To know God is the deepest human desire. And to get closer to him, we need the guidance of the women and men who have already found the way. The Journey Toward God serves us by bringing together in one book inspiring and instructive selections from the great writers who have mastered the spiritual life. Uniquely, the book draws from Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox writers, opening for us the diverse and rich treasures of Christian spirituality. A Servant Book.

Well-known author, psychologist and priest Fr. Benedict Groeschel draws on his own years of personal experiences in dealing with people's problems, tragedies and darkness as he offers help and guidance for any Christian troubled or burdened by life. If you are struggling with fear, anxiety, grief, loss of loved ones, hurt, anger or anything that makes life difficult or the road through it dark, then this book was written for you. Fr. Benedict offers practical suggestions on how to keep going and even grow with the help of God's grace, even when this help seems remote. The Christian response to the problem of evil and suffering began with the cross of Christ. Our answer is inseparable from the cross-from Jesus' own encounter with evil and his triumph over it. In this light, Fr. Benedict recalls some of our most frequently encountered sorrows and griefs: the failure of friends, financial and personal insecurity, the failure of some in the Church, our own inconsistent behaviors and weaknesses, and the death of loved ones. As we examine these painful experiences, he shows that we can find solutions in the Gospel and in the lives of saints, heroes, and very brave ordinary people

Kniha s podtitulom Duchovné odpovede na psychologické otázky na základe postojov a hodnôt evanjelia a literatúry kresťanskej spirituality hľadá riešenia na psychologické problémy. Venuje sa témam ako napríklad hriech, strach a dôvera, pokušenie, pochybnosti, nenávisť a odpustenie. Pri skúmaní očividných psychologických problémov sa autor snažil čerpať odpovede z učenia viery a kresťanskej tradície - zvlášť z evanjelia. Jeho cieľom nebolo naznačiť, že prvý postup - čiže hľadanie psychologických riešení - je chybný. Jeho úmyslom bolo skôr skúmať vplyv Zjavenia a osobnej viery na životné konflikty a ťažkosti.
