Is Clutter Really a Faith Issue? If we accept that God desires intimacy in our daily lives, how does that translate to the clutter that sits on our tables, countertops, and storage spaces? Anyone who has tried to "get organized" knows how tough it can be, and the Christian community is no different. Is there anything in the Bible that tells us how to finally-once and for all-deal with our internal and external clutter? In her early days as a certified professional organizer, Eileen Koff quickly understood that to make a difference in the lives of her clients, she had to unveil the disorganizing lies that kept them in disarray. Simply shedding God's Word like light in a darkened room allows her clients to see the root causes of their clutter. Eileen's Organize...His Way dispels the myths, lies, and false beliefs that keep people in bondage to their possessions, and outlines realistic expectations on how to maintain the work in process. Eileen believes strongly that while our thought processes dictate our actions, those thoughts are rooted in our belief systems. Unveiling those beliefs, founded on God's Word, is the cornerstone of her book. Writing in a supportive, nonjudgmental tone, Eileen uses real-life stories, scriptures, and questions to enhance your learning and encourage you to seek out the reason behind your clutter. Organize...His Way has already changed the lives of hundreds of clients seeking Eileen's help and inspiration. Organize...His Way will change your life too!

""The sadness I feel," writes Denise Carmody, "stems from watching the capitulation of good schools, both Christian and secular, to the pragmatism of recent times and their concomitant loss of a pervasive vision of their enterprise." Such capitulation has produced a serious crisis in American higher education, including also church-sponsored higher education, leading to a preoccupation with research and publication instead of teaching and to frequent inattention to ultimate human questions." "Following an introductory discussion of teaching, research and publication, and "the difference that God makes," the book moves through such topics as human nature, physical nature, politics, divinity or ultimate reality, and education (including community services, academic freedom, and the arts and sciences)." "A concluding chapter focuses on vision in higher education, that is, gaining a clear sense of what a collegiate venture wants to do and the kind of curriculum and teaching that squares with what a college is trying to achieve."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

“Jim Marion’s book returns us to the central challenge Christianity ought to be handing us. Indeed, how do we put on the mind of Christ? How do we see through his eyes? How do we feel through his heart? How do we learn to respond to the world with that same wholeness and healing love? That’s what Christian orthodoxy really is all about. It’s not about right belief; it’s about right practice.” —Cynthia Bourgeault, author of The Wisdom Jesus What does it mean to follow the path of Christ today? Putting on the Mind of Christ is the first book to offer an integral understanding of the Christian spiritual path--one that examines the basic stages of spiritual development described by the great saints and sages, along with the psychological stages of development used by modern psychology. American mystic Jim Marion draws upon his own rich spiritual experience and deep understanding of scriptural models, to show readers how to emulate the developmental stages of the Christ: how to put on the mind of Christ to achieve spiritual illumination and communion with the Christ. He examines the seven levels of consciousness of the human personality mapped by the work of Jean Piaget, Carol Milligan, and Lawrence Kohlberg, and leads readers to the consciousness that Jesus called the Kingdom of Heaven--the highest level of spiritual development. Marion shows how inner spiritual growth has always been the true essence of Christian practice and shares his own spiritual experiences within a "Christ-focused" framework. Pioneering, transcendent, and grounded, Putting on the Mind of Christ will permanently alter the landscape of 21st-century Christianity.

In response to challenges from the emerging world, this book brings together essays that discuss and exemplify various related approaches to academic faith integration and explore how Christian faith should underpin, scaffold, and frame our understanding of academic disciplines, leading to practical implications for work or action in modern society and culture. Written by Christian scholars and practitioners from diverse backgrounds including the USA, the UK, Australia, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, and the Philippines, the contributions here all contribute a global perspective while addressing some specific issue or case in the context of Asia. They represent ingenious endeavors that illustrate the workings of a faith-integrated approach in domains as wide as higher education, business, science, psychology and counseling, politics, environment, media, social services, leadership, research, and technology. This volume will inform and inspire the reader into cross-cultural and inter-disciplinary studies particularly of religion, education, culture, society, and worldview.
