Towards Christian Initiation and Spiritual Formation (Two Booklet Set)

Description: Towards Christian Initiation and Spiritual Formation in the 21st Century (Two Booklet Set)While those who understand the Christian scriptures more literally are worthy of the utmost respect and consideration, so too are those of a more skeptical bent who are hungry, nonetheless, for both the practical and spiritual wisdom revealed in the Bible’s mytho-poetic narratives and archetypal symbolism—those who, despite their skepticism, value the spiritual rootedness and revelation that the Christian tradition and Christian communities have to offer. Indeed, both ways of approaching these narratives– let us say the literal/historical approach AND the metaphorical/symbolic approach –must be respected, going forward, if we are to make a compelling and unified stand against the ignorance and akrasia of the modern world. For, believe it or not, it is only by coming together in this way that we can inspire the next generation of young people, 1) to recognise and honor THE REALITY that IS the mind of Christ, 2) to take up their cross, and 3) to begin walking in that light, allowing their eternal life to inform every aspect of their temporal existence, here and now. NOTE: This is a Two Booklet Set:Booklet One: Confidential Instruction for Sincere Skeptics and Honest CriticsLike most publications from Yeshua21.Com, this booklet is intended for sincere skeptics and honest critics. If the explanations that serve to allay the doubts of most Christians fall flat on your ears, read on... If you find the typical arguments of Christian apologists regarding the historicity of the gospel narratives, the authority of the Bible, and the overall coherence of the Christian worldview less than persuasive, read on… Assuming only that you still feel in some sense drawn to Christianity, despite these obstacles, read on… If, in the final analysis, you really would like to be a Christian if only you could do so with a clear conscience, this booklet is a must read for you.[Booklet One contains 56 pages, total, including stapled self-cover. It is printed with an Ink-Jet printer on standard 20 lb. paper. The Yeshua21 domain name appears on the front cover, but has been edited out of the picture used in this listing in order to comply with Ebay's rules.]Booklet Two: A Collection of Christian PrayersThis small collection of prayers, from a variety of Christian sources, is for sincere skeptics and honest critics whose hearts remain open. The idea is to hit the ground running—to begin participating in the Christian tradition in a meaningful way, here and now, with a view to authentic awakening. We are multidimensional beings— body, soul, and Spirit —and contemplative prayer and meditation can facilitate the realization and integration of all these dimensions of our being. Such realization is prerequisite to: 1) the possibility of authentic self-knowledge, 2) the experience of meaningful, abundant life, and 3) the possibility of political healing and cultural renewal.[Booklet Two contains 20 pages, total, including stapled self-cover. It is printed with an Ink-Jet printer on standard 20 lb. paper.
