This is not your everyday Christianity. Open your eyes to the impact that your body and mind have on your spirituality. Learn the skills necessary to create peace of mind while living in this raging world. By reclaiming the forgotten Christian skills of calming the stress in your body and mind, you can be much better equipped to know the peace that Christ offers. And you will find out about the war raging in your mind that blinds you to the abundant life Christ promises -- and what to do about it.Rare Peace, Raging World opens a world that requires an inquiring mind seeking answers beyond the surface. If you grasp that your flesh and mind can overwhelm even your best intentions to grow spiritually in Christ, this book offers new hope for knowing God's peace. By learning how to better manage your flesh and your mind, you position yourself to know peace of mind and to discover greater potential for your life.
Rande Howell believes that modern Christianity ignores the power that your flesh (your neuro-biology) has over your mind and your spiritual growth. Learning to calm the body and still the mind, unknown in today's Christianity, is essential in finding peace of mind. Without these skills, his belief is that you stay stuck in a hidden war going on in your mind that stunts your ability to experience joy -- keeping you from opening your heart to God's peace and limiting your potential as a human being.
This book explores the spirituality in which Rande's Ignite Work is grounded. The universality of the Christian spiritual tradition is explored by two characters, Martha and Mary, as they confront the limitations of a myopic rule-bound view of Christianity that has limited their capacity to come to a deeper, broader, understanding of the interconnection of all spiritual traditions. It is about opening the eyes to possibility, rather than shutting out that which does not conform to a limited world view.
