Beatitudes - Front Lord's Prayer - Center of the Sermon on the Mount (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The author hopes this small 'Primer' will stimulate deep contemplation of two of Christianity's most famous and powerful sayings within the context of where Jesus spoke them, chapters five, six, and seven from the Gospel of Matthew, the Sermon on the Mount. Having imbibed the spiritual truths from this starting point of Jesus's teaching ministry, the reader will then follow where Jesus leads to nine mountain-top experiences subtly and not so subtly embedded by Matthew within his gospel to contemplate nine biblical characters, Adam, Abel, Noah, Abraham, Joseph, Moses, (think of Moses and Elijah with Jesus during His mountaintop transfiguration), David, John the Baptist and Jesus. Lastly, the reader will contemplate the Catholic Church's sacraments as the source of strength Christ gives those traveling the arduous beatific journey away from self-indulgence towards self-giving.

Autorenporträt

Dr Richard Manning M.D. completed his undergraduate studies at the University of Pennsylvania, medical school at Thomas Jefferson University, and surgical training at the George Washington University Hospital. In 1993, he joined a local team of healthcare workers on a ten-day medical missionary trip to Haiti, where his desire to serve in the developing world was born. From 2004 through 2013, Dr Manning worked with a team of expatriate healthcare professionals in Kabul, Afghanistan to transform a bombed-out and dilapidated hospital into one of the nation's leading academic healthcare institutions. By the time he left, over three hundred Afghan staff were managing the hospital completely. Dr Manning has continued supporting the hospital and Afghan team operationally and financially by solidifying the hospital's links with outside funding agencies. Rick and his wife Linda are blessed with five children and eight grandchildren.
