God is waiting. Our hearts are wanting. What must we do? F?r. William Barry, SJ, believes that God wants an intimate relationship with each one of us—and that the deepest desire of our own hearts is to have an intimate relationship with God. Yet while we pursue this desire and long for its satisfaction, we also resist it—which can lead to a painful stagnancy. How can we move forward? In God’s Passionate Desire, Fr. Barry serves as our spiritual director, leading us on a series of brief “retreats” to help us understand the foundations of our relationship with God, what threatens it, and how we can continuously move forward into a closer and more meaningful relationship with God. In his warm, conversational style, Barry offers meditations, poses questions, and gently encourages us to respond to God’s immeasurable love by following what is truly in each of our hearts—a longing to love him in return.

The Godhead, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is the ultimate expression and example of unity. In the beginning "unity stood on the precipice of nothingness in the overshadowing cloud of His Presence and simultaneously conceived and created all things by the word of His mouth." This unity-oneness "just as we are one..." continues to be established through God's Covenant Love and... Cross-like sacrifice. It's purpose is God's divine plan for: World-wide evangelism and... Preparation of a mature Bride-Church for Himself! God's most difficult problem is the strong will of man's flesh. Because of our own self-interest, The Church has desperately sinned against Almighty God. We have treated His divine imperative as our option, and to cover our sin, we have created our own optional hybrid of unity in The Church. TO THE CHURCH, UNITY IS AN OPTION! TO GOD, IT IS A DIVINE IMPERATIVE!

What moves God to tears? What causes His heart to ache with desire? If God could sleep, what would keep Him up at night? What is the real "passion" of Jesus? And do we share that same passion? Mere churchgoers may be surprised at the answer, True followers of Jesus won't be because they know the answer lies not on the padded peew, but on a skidrow sidewalk, in an understaffed AIDS clinic, a battered women's shelter, a refugee camp, a drug- and gang- infested inner- city housing project. Jesus has a passionate love affair with the poor. The downtrodden. The marginalized. The forgotten. And nowhere in Scripture is this passion more clearly defined than in the fifty-eighth chapter of Isaiah - God's passionate plea to His slumbering people to care about the things He cares about. In Pursuing the Passion of Jesus, noted pastor and author Dwight Nelson opens this powerful but often overlooked chapter in the Bible and shows in eye-opening detail how loving the least--personal and practical ministry to those who suffer- help you fulfil God's purpose for your life. As Christians, watching the world go by is not our calling. Lifting the world out of its collective misery is. In the pages of this book you will hear again the Saviour's call to share His true passion. And if you go beyond hearing to living the principles Nelson presents, you'll be blessed with a faith that works, a joy that lasts, and a heart like Christ's. - What moves God to tears? What causes His heart to ache with desire? If God could sleep, what would keep Him up at night? What is the real "passion" of Jesus? And do we share that same passion?

Have you ever been loved with “skimpy love”? Or has your love for someone else seemed to shrivel? Enter the world of God’s extravagant love: It is beyond measure. Careful study of God’s Word, along with delving into ancient customs and symbols from Biblical times, helps us understand His passionate love for all He has created. Sometimes, extravagance is found in the simple things of daily life. We usually think of “extravagance” as spending excessively on material goods. So to use that term for an itinerant teacher who had only one change of clothes and depended on others for food and a place to lay His head seems a stretch. Yet Jesus was the most extravagant person who ever lived. To understand that, we have to revise our notion of “extravagance,” focusing on intangible qualities like thoughtfulness, caring, and humility. In this remarkably imaginative book, Carole Engle Avriett guides you through the agriculture, diet, and commerce of Jesus’s culture to shed new light on God’s nature. Reading it, you will gain a deeper understanding of God’s love—a love of astonishing extravagance.

Eros is the passionate energy that makes us one with the beautiful other, with a leper, with the world of nature waiting to be embraced and cared for, with our neighbor, the stranger, with God. The Whiteheads explore this vital energy of love as the gift of a Creator madly in love with his creation a God who would bring us to life in abundance if we only say "Yes." They discuss Eros in the movements of our sexuality, as well as in our arousals of compassion and care. They examine the Eros of pleasure and of generosity. They honor the Eros of hope, of anger, of suffering. They reveal that Eros has a Source far deeper than lust, and is a pathway to a passionate God. Holy Eros recovers this fundamental energy of love as a powerful resource in the revitalization of Christian spirituality. Unlike most books on the topic it eschews easy clichs. Its reader benefit is to understand and appreciate an energy that can heal as well as hinder and to tap into its positive force.

Live in the love of a God who desires a relationship with you. Throughout A Friendship Like No Other, renowned spiritual director William A. Barry, SJ, explores the premise that God wants to relate to us as a close friend. Barry has contemplated this idea—radical for many Christians—throughout his lifetime, and he explains that it actually traces back to the “developing revelation of God contained in the Bible.” A Friendship Like No Other offers three well-supported and practical sections: prayerful exercises to help lead you to the conviction that God wants your friendship; a close look at objections to this idea; and reflections on experiencing the presence of God and discerning those experiences. Brief, personal meditations are woven throughout. Grounded in biblical tradition and with a clear focus on Ignatian spirituality, this book offers a fresh, heart-changing approach to living joyfully in the freedom of the divine embrace.
