Grown-up faith : the big picture for a bigger life / by Myers, Kevin A.,author.(CARDINAL)406623; Wetzel, Charlie,1960-author.;
Includes bibliographical references.Invitation to a bigger life -- Why do people get stuck? -- Is life an accident or am I here on purpose? -- Why do bad things happen to good people? -- Can I really trust God? -- Why can't I make my own rules? -- Why can't God just accept me as I am? -- Isn't only one way to God narrow-minded? -- What does it mean to be forgiven? -- Why don't Christians look different from everybody else? -- Who needs the church? -- Are heaven and hell real? -- What now?Why isn't life everything we expected it to be? And why doesn't our faith resolve our frustrations and problems? Kevin Myers, the founding pastor of 12Stone Church, a congregation of more than 30,000 active attenders near Atlanta, believes the reason we don't experience a transformed life is that we fail to grow up spiritually. We focus on developing physically, intellectually, emotionally, and financially, yet our faith remains immature and anemic. In this powerful new book, Myers offers a deep yet simple roadmap to a grown-up faith through understanding the whole context of the Bible, developing spiritual intimacy with God, and gratefully embracing holy obedience. As you understand the Bible and the big picture of God's story with humanity, you begin to find answers to life's most compelling questions. As you begin to understand God more, your longing and ability to experience spiritual intimacy with him increases, as does your desire to obey what God asks of you and your ability to follow through. This is the way to the bigger life, a life even better than you expected--or even dreamed possible.

However, many people and institutions remain in "the first half of life" forever, preoccupied with climbing, achieving, and performing. But if you knew there was more to the journey, wouldn't you choose to do the "first half" quite differently? By facing challenges, mistakes, loss of control, and even suffering in the "second half of life," we learn to grow and blossom into the people we are called to be."--

Falling upward : a spirituality for the two halves of life / by Rohr, Richard,author.(CARDINAL)357609;
The two halves of life -- The hero and heroine's journey -- The first half of life -- The tragic sense of life -- Stumbling over the stumbling stone -- Necessary suffering -- Home and homesickness -- Amnesia and the big picture -- A second simplicity -- A bright sadness -- The shadowlands -- New problems and new directions -- Falling upward."A fresh way of thinking about spirituality that grows throughout life. In Falling Upward, Fr. Richard Rohr seeks to help readers understand the tasks of the two halves of life and to show them that those who have fallen, failed, or "gone down" are the only ones who understand "up." Most of us tend to think of the second half of life as largely about getting old, dealing with health issues, and letting go of life, but the whole thesis of this book is exactly the opposite.? What looks like falling down can largely be experienced as "falling upward."? In fact, it is not a loss but somehow actually a gain, as we have all seen with elders who?have come to their fullness.?? Explains why the second half of life can and should be full of spiritual richness Offers a new view of how spiritual growth happens loss is gain Richard Rohr is a regular contributing writer for Sojourners and Tikkun magazines This important book explores the counterintuitive message that we grow spiritually much more by doing wrong than by doing right."--Includes bibliographical references (page 169-182) and index.
