The basic requirement for CHRISTIAN COUNSELLING in tertiary institutions is a compulsory activity within the course of study; hence, the dire need for the course text "Christian Counselling" written by Rev. Kesmen Sati Yohanna (Ph.D.).The book intended to meet the yearning aspirations of the teaming students particularly, those in education, social sciences and humanities. It is also hoped that the text will solve the apathy demonstrated by many students towards counseling activities.The text has six chapters which are well structured and coherent and therefore strongly recommended for students, teachers and the entire society who are interested in learning about processes of Christian counseling.

Maurice Nicoll (1884-1963) Harley Street analytical psychologist trained by CG Jung, and disciple of 'western gurus' GI Gurdjieff and PD Ouspensky, became in later years a practitioner and teacher of mystical spirituality. This study traces through Nicoll's published writings, and through the recently rediscovered Dream Diaries, his spiritual journey from his early rejection of Christianity to his finding 'what really mattered' in a re-embrace of his natal religion, but this in a form he saw as far 'truer' than what he had earlier rejected. Nicoll learned through practising Gurdjieff's 'Work', his system of spiritual training, that the Kingdom of Heaven is neither a post-mortem experience nor a millennial restoration of Christ's Kingdom, but a state of psychological or spiritual development, the fulfilment or perfection of the individual life achievable in this life; the Gospels, neither ethical discourse nor historical biography of a god-man describe this spiritual state and how to achieve it. Nicoll's books The New Man and The Mark, works of biblical exegesis on psychological lines, explain how this message, esoterically encoded in the Gospel narrative, may be interpreted.

We encounter this God in a land "given to the hands of man", in the face of a poor person and a little one, in the silence and tears, in the joy and hope of those who never tire of sowing seeds... because the God of Jesus is found "moving from the sinful and suffering world and not from a religious height". Becoming men and women is the true Christian vocation and the Church can only be at the service of this call. Every time it gives in to the temptation of power and success, of ritualism, of clericalism, of an asceticism that distances one from the life of the world, forgets his service and his mission; forget who she really is.

Patristic teaching refers to the theological and doctrinal teachings of the early Christian theologians known as the Fathers of the Church, or the Patristic Fathers. This period is generally considered to extend from the apostolic era to the end of the eighth century. The Patristic Fathers played a crucial role in shaping and articulating the foundational doctrines of Christianity, responding to various theological challenges and controversies that emerged during the early centuries of the Church.

Francis of Assisi at a young age met the disease, and more or less serious, the disease was a dramatic event for both him and his family. In fact, illness transforms the existence of the individual by modifying family and social relationships, upsets the identity and enters a state of crisis, certainly with the outside world, but above all with one's own body.I would like in this second part of the book, through the experience of Francesco's illness, to try to look at the disease with a new perspective, which is not established by chance, but must be seen as a defense mechanism, and an attempt by the body to overcome conditions that he does not feel suitable, so that he can defend himself, and then live in good health.

The starting point is the current text of the Gospel. What Jesus said and did, the event through which God reveals himself as Lord of history, close to and involved with human affairs, is presented as a book written in the second half of the 1st century AD, in a specific cultural environment. The first level of reading is the one that applies to the book: understanding what the author intends to say, with his language and his conception of the world.

Universal salvation only happens through the name "Jesus" (Acts 3:12). For the obvious reasons, only Christians can call on the name "Jesus" to be saved. What about people of other religions who do not know the name "Jesus"? Universal salvation is through the mediator. To save all of humanity, the divine person manifested himself in history, Jesus of Nazareth. People of other religions seeking salvation invoke the name of the mediator they know. Do they have to wait for salvation until they invoke the name "Jesus"? Panikkar analyses the question in the categories of person, name, myth, symbol and history. Without relativising the belief that the name "Jesus" stands for universal salvation, Panikkar explains the value of the other names of the one mediator to whom the various religions refer. These considerations have implications for the question of salvation not only for people of different religions but also for all ETIs throughout the universe. It may take millions of light years for the name ¿Jesus¿ to reach the ETIs.

This manuscript details the revised version of the life and times of the Tibane family in Mpumalanga Province after their arrival in the place of the rising sun back in 1940s. The high influx of people from neighbouring countries were due to a number of opportunities such as the discovery of gold and urbanisation. Some came through because of the agricultural sector that kept on growing until this very day. The fast development and expansion of Johannesburg became another mile stone in pulling people for labour from around Africa.This book breaks down how the Tibane Family started and their movements around the province. Further the author also pays tribute to some of the late family members.

The mysteries of the kingdom of GOD have their place in the journey of the Christian faith; but, very often neglected because of the spirit of religion and the fact that several ravening wolves have monopolized them to use them in the wrong direction.JESUS CHRIST was very balanced in his ministry; on the one hand he used the word, and on the other, the works which were only the tangible and palpable manifestation of the preached word also associated with the mysteries.The word, the works as well as the mysteries brought balance to his vocation; and the advantage of the mysteries is especially felt in cases of deliverance giving one a head start.The mysteries are there within your reach; so enjoy them.

The main idea in this book is to apply the positive biblical hermeneutics and methods of its interpretations which are wealthy to the universal Christianity today. Indeed, the African Initiated Churches and the universal Christianity worldwide are currently challenged by several theological and biblical topics that need to be improved by a careful biblical hermeneutics and methods in order to comprehend the truths and values which are contained in the Scripture (¿).

The book is about components of the winning business plan. Today's business world demands that even churches, NGOs and Faith Based Organisation must be bankable and be based on sound business principles. Unless these structures are founded and operated within the principles of business, they will not survive. For the church to strive and survive the storm, the institutions must be founded on a proper foundation and principles. The church must have a constitution and business plans to expand their growth and development. This book narrates the case of the Fountain Family Bible Church, how this ministry was born and travailed through leaps and bounds. In-spite of the challenges encountered on the way, the Lord has been good.

This research work is a historical-theological analysis on the reasons and causes of church schism among the Chins in Myanmar. The schism started in 1930s and become worse since 1978. It is estimated that there are already more than 70 denominations and sects among the Chins even before the celebration of Centennial Jubilee of the arrival of the Gospel in the Chin Land, which was held in Haka in 1999. It is sad to see the way a divisive denominationalism plays such an important role among the churches and occupies the hearts of the people. Five main possible facts have been pointed out which caused schism in Chin Christianity, such as hlimsangism (a charismatic movement), evangelical movements and fundamentalism, politico-economic factors, leadership role and socio-cultural reason.

This publication offers a reflection on the phenomenon of euthanasia within the context of history, legislation, and contemporary society. Its intention is to present a theoretical perspective capable of opposing the reasons given by euthanasia proponents and to offer practical alternatives that are more feasible and humane than "escaping suffering through death".The main idea of this book can be summarized in the following sentence: the best medicine for patients in the terminal phase of the disease, always effective and permanently available, is a competent and caring presence enriched with the human warmth that only another person can provide.

Divinely inspired study of the descriptive wisdom of the human body. A complementary impulse to confirm the working perfection of the Eternal God as it is written: And man was created in the image and after the likeness of God. Indeed, it will be a question through this work, to discover the study reserved for the whole body of Christ in general with a particular look at the person of the servant or minister of God, who represents by mandate, the latter before the lost sheep far from the fold and the working management of those who are already brought back and entrusted to their care, according to the following references:1 Stone: 5 V 2-3: Feed the flock of God which is in your keeping, not by compulsion, but voluntarily, according to God; not for sordid gain, but with devotion.Not as dominating over those which are due to you in share, but as models of the herd.

" Transformative Power of Grace: A Biblical Perspective" takes readers on a profound exploration of the concept of grace as portrayed in the Bible. Grace, often understood as unmerited favor or divine assistance, is viewed through a lens that reveals its awe-inspiring and transformative nature.Drawing from various biblical passages, stories, and characters, this book delves into the encounters individuals had with God's grace throughout Scripture. From the Old Testament to the New Testament, readers are introduced to moments where grace manifested itself in ways that left people in awe and even trembling before the presence of God.

Christology in a multi-religious context can help realise a Christology in the intergalactic consciousness of ETI civilisations. Israel-centred ¿salvation¿ turned to the world, now to the ETIs in the millions of galaxies. Pope Francis envisions baptising aliens as the door of salvation is open to them, too. If the ¿big bang¿ was the creative power of God, the apocalypse is not a galactic supermassive destructive black hole. It is a super-bright halo attracting the universe to enjoy the cosmic Sabbath with God. Panikkar's inter-religious context: the mystery CHRIST, whose symbol is the historical Jesus, will help to represent Jesus in galactic consciousness, to have a galactic Christophany that goes beyond the ecumenical Christophany that Panikkar had envisioned. In Irenaeus' Christ, the cosmotheandric principle as envisaged at creation, the protology and teleology of the universe meet. Panikkar's cosmotheandric mystery was to restore the cosmological dimension of the CHRIST. A symbol contains reality: Jesus is the epiphany, the symbol of the cosmotheandric mystery. A Christology for intergalactic consciousness will enrich a Christology in a multi-religious context.

The question of the fairness of God and the presence of evil and its ravages especially on those who are perceived to be good is confounding. One of the Bible books that tackles this subject is the book of Habakkuk. The prophetic book presents a gripping dialogue between Habakkuk and God on the question of God¿s justice. The prophet approaches God with a rare audacity in the Old Testament. God¿s response on the other hand leaves the prophet spellbound, resigning to more trust in God. The prophetic poetic nature of the work invites an application of a literary analysis in order to arrive at the prophet¿s intent. The Hebrew literature rich in its expressions, features and structure affords an opportunity of study into this gripping work of the prophet. The alternate structural arrangement of the book reveals an answer to the question of God¿s justice, which is existentially faith in God and eschatologically a visitation by God. The prophetic work of Habakkuk is a refreshing and reassuring piece in the world of injustice in which common question is; is it fair? I dedicate this book to all who have felt the brunt of evil and have lingering questions about the justice of God.

Indeed, God providentially guides and blesses all who trust Him. The book of Ruth expresses how Naomi tried to run from her problems, cover up her mistakes and gets bitter against God. But in the next phase of life, a new beginning sets in through faith, a new friend was established through genuine love and a new attitude was adopted through hope in the God of Israel. With these in place, Ruth submitted and presented herself to Boaz, who also joyfully accepted her. In spite of that, Ruth consciously waited for Boaz to act. At the end, Ruth¿s wedding with Boaz was eminent. Boaz became a kinsman redeemer to Ruth, the people blessed Ruth and God faithfully gave Boaz and Ruth a son whom they named Jesse, who became the father of David. The book of Ruth irresistibly calls on all Christians to remain faithful to God irrespective of their difficult circumstances.
