Blessed, Broken, and Scared. What does that mean? We know that Jesus took bread, blessed it, broke it, and shared it with His friends saying, "This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me." The Last Supper challenges us to live in such a way that we actually become the sacred food of Jesus Christ for others as we share our lives with them. And that can be scary! Blessed, Broken, and Scared calls the reader to a conversion from living a scared life to living a shared life. It is in sharing our life with others that we find the healing and peace we truly seek. All people are wounded by the world and have areas of hidden brokenness in their life. This book offers hope, healing, and change as it explores the profound implications of God's mercy, forgiveness, and love. "Brian addresses some very important issues in a conversational style that invites you into his book. Let this book, in a "sea of purple," be a place for us to share and be blessed. This book will truly encourage us to be Eucharist for one another." Fr. Martin Schratz OFM Cap. Brian has been sharing his Blessed, Broken, and Scared retreats around the country for years. Now the message has been captured in this book. Here is what some past retreatants have had to say: "Brian opens himself to all and helped us see that our brokenness isn't a deterrent to God's love and healing. Our retreat was truly a special day." "Should be required for today's Christians and Catholics." "One of the best day retreats that I have attended in nearly 40 years! So much to reflect on and put into action." "I have been to many seminars, webinars, retreats and have been blessed to have read many great books, but I have to say...this retreat impacted my life as to learning more about God's will in my life than any other book, resource, event ever has! Thanks be to God!" Brian Pusateri is a Christian author and speaker. Brian felt his life was forever changed when God spoke to his heart while attending a retreat in 2011. With the God-inspired message of mercy and unconditional love, Brian has been impacting others all over the country and around the world with his weekly letters, talks, and retreats. Brian and his wife of 45 years, Mary Beth, live in, and love the Carolina mountains.

Intellectual turmoil and spiritual yearning for many years. What about disserting for Holy Spirit? The divine power of God has given us freedom to choose Christ or the devil, but God's will remains absolute and always comes first. In God's divine providence, our prayers are answered while his will remains intact, but because of his constant love, he can release the grace to guide us in all matters. After researching and examining the reality of parents bringing up leadership, I wish to share cogent information that there is a critical mass of parents trapped in ignorance, lacking vision and loving leadership. Hence, the youth are reliant on parents who may be destroying and breaking their hearts. And yet, the parents' hearts are bleeding as the drugs, cheap beer, consumption, and carefree, mass-commercialized sex practices take the toll on youths' lives. There is a dire desperation, and the parents are turning in the drugs, commercial sex, and booking for money at whatever cost-even involving evil rituals, building partnership with the fallen angels, and baying for blood to meet the set targets. The problems are insurmountable, since everything is shrouded by secrecy and a husband can buy several cars for a wife who lives to flatter life but does not know what is in store for her. The evil prosperity is spreading very quickly as the brutal spirit of competition takes root, and this is fueled by the powerful images of power, wealth, fame, love, and beauty found everywhere on the internet, in advertising, on TV shows, and in print and electronic media.

If you’re looking to learn how to get the most out of prayer, this book is indispensable. As St. Augustine notes, When we pray, we speak to God; when we read Scripture, God speaks to us. The key to enriching our prayer is learning the language of Christianity, and the most effective way to learn the language of Christianity is an ancient technique known as lectio divina (“divine reading”). In these pages, you will learn: ● How God speaks directly to each of us in Scripture. ● How to overcome the obstacles to a consistent and fruitful prayer life. ● Why the fourfold method of lectio divina leads us directly into the heart of contemplative prayer. ● Strategies for reading - and praying - the Bible fruitfully. ● What Christian meditation is and how it differs from non-Christian approaches. ● How everyone - not just saints and mystics - can truly reach mystical union with God. In this succinct book, Catholic theologian and biblical scholar Dr. Tim Gray walks you through the Bible and the wisdom of the saints to reveal the practical steps of this great treasure of our Tradition. Learning the simple steps of lectio divina will provide a practical and effective way for you to enhance your prayer life through the power of God’s Word.

We all encounter times when our spirit feels dry, when doubt looms. The opportunity to tour Israel came at a good time. For months, my life has been a mindless plodding through necessary routine, as monotonous as an all-night shift on an assembly line. Life gets that way sometimes, when nothing specific is wrong but the world around us seems drained of color. Even my weekly worship experiences and daily quiet times with God have felt as dry and stale as last year's crackers. I'm ashamed to confess the malaise I've felt. I have been given so much. Shouldn't a Christian's life be an abundant one, as exciting as Christmas morning, as joyful as Easter Sunday? With gripping honesty, Lynn Austin pens her struggles with spiritual dryness in a season of loss and unwanted change. Tracing her travels throughout Israel, Austin seamlessly weaves events and insights from the Word . . . and in doing so finds a renewed passion for prayer and encouragement for her spirit, now full of life and hope.

OVERCOME SPIRITUAL DRYNESS, BE RESTORED, REVIVED, AND ENJOY SPIRITUAL FRESHNESS AGAIN!!! "How tragic when a Christian leader, like Samson, has once known special times of the Lord's enabling when the spirit came upon him "in power" and then begins to rely on his own 'know-how, ' his busy endeavours, and his administrative skills more than on the Lord," Dr. Wesley Duewel We ebb spiritually in such a slow manner that we hardly can notice. We pull off that "ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price" without any knowledge. Subtly, we die; yet notice it, we hardly can. Think about it: Why is Your Spiritual Life Recently Becoming Such an Uphill Task? Spiritual Dryness can be a dangerous spiritual state, if not properly understood and handled. ✓ "Overcoming Spiritual Dryness" is a must-read for every born-again Christian whose appetite for God and spiritual hunger has greatly declined. But apart from those who are on the verge of collapse, it is also for whoever thinks he is standing in the Faith. ✓ This book will help to restore a sinking Church and a collapsing Minister whose joy for service is gone. He has been struggling daily to live right, without taking time to deliberate or prepare himself for the benefit of the flock. ✓ When personal needs and demands overtake the Ministerial mind; when Christians measure success by worldly standards; when decisions for spiritual things are looked at, judged, and considered by sight and not by faith; then of a truth, a state of DRYNESS has set in. ✓ When God is only given a second and not a first place, then, one must accept the truth and quickly seek restoration and refreshing. Read this book! It is the best pill for a spiritually declining state. But it must never stop with you only...get others to get it and read.

Christians know that God loves them, but can easily feel that he is perpetually disappointed and frustrated, maybe even close to giving up on them. As a result, they focus a lot—and rightly so—on what Jesus has done to appease God’s wrath for sin. But how does Jesus Christ actually feel about his people amid all their sins and failures? This book draws us to Matthew 11, where Jesus describes himself as “gentle and lowly in heart,” longing for his people to find rest in him. The gospel flows from God’s deepest heart for his people, a heart of tender love for the sinful and suffering. These chapters take readers into the depths of Christ’s very heart for sinners, diving deep into Bible passages that speak of who Christ is and encouraging readers with the affections of Christ for his people. His longing heart for sinners comforts and sustains readers in their up-and-down lives.
