Testimonials

“This book is a profound challenge to the Body of Christ to wake up to God’s passion for a deeper relationship with us. I particularly loved the chapter “The God Who Wrestles With Us.” You can always tell when someone has wrestled with God because—like Jacob—they walk differently. The personal stories of Randy and Cathy create a desire in the reader to experience a deeper relationship with God in a fresh transforming experience. This is a must-read!” – Frank Seamster, Evangelist, https://seamster.org/

“I’ve known Dr. Randy Colver for over forty years. His life as a husband, a father, a man of God, and a friend is the purest reflection of one who is a mature apprentice (disciple) of Jesus. His daughter Cathy is equally devoted to Christ. They both share an “epignosis” relationship with Jesus. Epignosis simply means an authentic, fully experiential, abiding relationship with Jesus Christ. Every page of this book will draw you into a transformative encounter with the Lord. “Revelationship” is a precursor of revival where the Word marries the Spirit.” – Elder Yul Crawford, Atlanta Metropolitan Cathedral

“The concept of this book is absolutely ingenious and so necessary. What a gift this resource will be to the body of Christ!” – Larry Sparks, MDiv., Publisher, Destiny Image, Author, Pentecostal Fire, LarrySparksMinistries.com

“The writers have poured you a glass of hope, for you hold an insightful and valuable book in your hand. Randy and Cathy offer you an open door through which you are welcome to come in and drink deeply of the Lord’s presence. There you will be surprised, enlarged, and instructed by God on what the love and fear of God really means, which is to know him through his word and the revelation of his presence.” – Nita G Berquist, Bible Teacher and Author, Kent, Washington

“Dr. Colver and his daughter, Cathy, take you into a deeper understanding of the nature of God and his pursuit of us. They create a ladder of experiences through each chapter based on their personal encounters with God that will stimulate a greater hunger to know Him and pursue Him. It is truly transformational and the questions, devotional readings, and time of reflection and prayer in the companion devotional guide drive home a deeper, applicable experience in your own journey in Christ. I highly recommend any book whose authors know God and provoke me to grow. This clearly is one of those books.” – Dr. Jay Zinn, Founder and Author, DiscipleshipGroup.com

“Revelationship is more than a book. It is a God-encounter…the Bible verse, “Taste and see that the Lord is good” (Psalms 35: 8), becomes alive and tangible. Revelationship is a tool in the hands of Jesus for Christians to know Him and be known by Him. This is an experience I won’t soon forget, leaving me longing for the next chapter and more of Him.” – Sharon Mullins, Pastor of Coweta Community Church, cccnewnan.org

“A powerful message that speaks to every Christian of how the transformative activity of God in our lives draws us ever closer to him.” – Dr. Sebastian Mahfood, OP, Founder and President, WCAT Radio

“If you are pursuing to create or deepen a personal relationship with God, then read this book. Why? The authors cite example after example of biblical passages which specifically highlight why God desires to reveal Himself on a personal and intimate level. Each chapter is filled with not only insights from Scripture, but also personal experiences from their own lives of how revelationship transformed and deepened their understanding of God’s love and goodness. So, if you’re looking for practical and thoughtful insights having a revelationship with God, then you will not be disappointed.” – Dr. Alan Cureton, Former President of Northeastern University – St. Paul

Theology of the Heart: Tracing a Spiritual Anatomy Within by Sr. M. Gianna Casino, LIHM

Theology of the Heart: Tracing a Spiritual Anatomy Within by Sr. M. Gianna Casino, LIHM

Theology of the Heart: Tracing a Spiritual Anatomy Within

by Sr. M. Gianna Casino, LIHM

In a world increasingly defined by fleeting pursuits, the human heart remains an enigmatic realm, harboring profound mysteries and the deepest longings of the individual. Just as the human body holds theological meaning towards the purpose of man, the human heart holds a significant theological and teleological meaning. Based on the truth that there is more to life than what meets the eye, Theology of the Heart: Tracing the Spiritual Anatomy Within is a book that embarks on an exploration of the human heart integrating through a weaving of ancient wisdom, philosophical psychology, and the spirituality of Augustine and Aquinas, and back to the words of Christ in the Gospel. This book offers readers an opportunity to delve into the very essence of what it means to be human and what makes us tick.

The book also responds directly to one of the last requests of Pope John Paul II as it delves into the intricate and often misunderstood realm of human suffering – he mentions that there is a place for the mystery of suffering in Theology of the Body and expresses hope for future development. Theology of the Heart does not neglect the biological foundation of the human person that prepares readers for a fundamental yet enlightening philosophical insight into the human interior. The audience is aimed at young men and women who are in formation for marriage or consecrated life who could benefit from a prequel in order to understand Theology of the Body and approach the mystery of suffering in their respective vocation.

La Navidad: Reflexiones a Través de Los Años

por Mario Ramos-Reyes

Este es un pequeño libro sobre la Navidad. Es un texto sin pretensiones teológicas que nace de la experiencia de un filósofo cristiano. La de afirmar una enseñanza de más de dos mil años. La de que el cristianismo no es una doctrina sino un hecho existencial. La de que Dios hecho hombre reveló al ser humano su dignidad inmensa. Un Dios que, sobre todo, vive entre nosotros. El Dios, Cristo, que nace en Navidad.

TESTIMONIALS

“Con admirable exposición, el profesor Mario Ramos-Reyes nos conduce a contemplar el misterio de la Navidad. Sus reflexiones se enmarcan en una tradición, la tradición de la filosofía perennis, de esa filosofía que parte de la realidad concreta para elevarnos a la Realidad última. En las diferentes reflexiones, frutos de años de meditación y contemplación, nos muestra como el Logos infinito que se encarnó y habita entre nosotros es el fundamento de la existencia finita del hombre. Tomo sus palabras: la Navidad es fiesta, autoconciencia del ser humano de su propia identidad. Una fiesta perenne del hombre que se deja amar por el Amor, y ama con el Amor. Este pequeño libro debería ser de lectura imprescindible para todo filósofo cristiano.” Lic. Víctor Vargas. Presidente de la Asociación de Filosofía Cristiana

La disciplina spirituale: Meditazioni sull’insegnamento di Frithjof Schuon por James S. Cutsinger e tradotto da Marco Toti

La disciplina spirituale: Meditazioni sull’insegnamento di Frithjof Schuon

Scritto da James S. Cutsinger e tradotto da Marco Toti

Si tratta di un’introduzione alla scuola perennialista della filosofia religiosa comparata e di una guida per il lettore generale che cerca risposte intellettualmente serie ma accessibili alle domande sulla vita spirituale.

Due libri in uno, La disciplina spirituale è un’introduzione per gli studiosi alla scuola perennialista della filosofia religiosa comparata e allo stesso tempo una guida per il lettore generale che cerca risposte intellettualmente serie ma accessibili alle domande sulla vita spirituale.

Gli studiosi troveranno un’introduzione completa all’opera di Frithjof Schuon, la principale figura contemporanea della scuola perennialista o tradizionalista della religione comparata. Scritto da James S. Cutsinger, una delle massime autorità accademiche della filosofia perenne, il libro fornisce un commento dettagliato sull’intera gamma degli scritti spirituali di Schuon.

Ma il libro si rivolge anche ai lettori curiosi e alla ricerca in generale. Composto in uno stile semplice e colloquiale, si presenta come una lettera aperta agli studenti dell’autore. L’obiettivo è quello di tagliare con la banalità di molti insegnamenti spirituali odierni e di fornire risposte intellettualmente serie ma accessibili a domande tipicamente poste da cinici e scettici, credenti conservatori e persone attratte dalle cosiddette religioni “new age”.

I consigli dell’autore assumono la forma di una serie di meditazioni su Verità, Virtù, Bellezza e Preghiera, che Schuon considera gli elementi fondamentali di ogni autentico cammino spirituale. I temi affrontati, sia teorici che pratici, comprendono le prove di Dio, il problema del male, le virtù classiche, la predestinazione e la libertà, il simbolismo e la gerarchia cosmica, l’arte sacra, il rapporto tra metodo spirituale e grazia, le tecniche di concentrazione e meditazione, il ruolo del maestro spirituale e il destino umano. Il libro si conclude con un epilogo sulla nota tesi di Schuon sull’“unità trascendente delle religioni”.

TESTIMONIANZE

“Una magnifica introduzione al più grande pensatore religioso del nostro secolo”. — Huston Smith, autore di “ Le religioni del mondo”.

“Questo libro sarà ricordato con gratitudine dai migliori lettori come una chiave d’oro che spalanca le porte della fuga dalle tensioni interiori e dalla confusione mentale”. — Martin Lings, già custode dei manoscritti orientali del British Museum.

SULL’AUTORE

James Sherman Cutsinger (4 maggio 1953 – 19 febbraio 2020) è stato autore, editore e professore emerito di studi religiosi presso l’Università della Carolina del Sud, le cui opere si sono concentrate principalmente sulla religione comparata, sulla moderna scuola tradizionalista della filosofia perenne, sulla spiritualità cristiana orientale e sulla tradizione mistica della Chiesa ortodossa orientale.

INFORMAZIONI SUL TRADUTTORE

Marco Toti, nato a Roma nel 1976, è dottore di ricerca in “Tradizioni e Istituzioni Religiose di Ambiente Circum-mediterraneo”; è stato borsista “Fulbright” e presso l’Accademia dei Lincei; è stato giudicato idoneo come professore universitario di seconda fascia di “Storia delle Religioni” (abilitazione nazionale, 2013). Ha pubblicato vari lavori concernenti argomenti di mistica e religioni comparate, con particolare attenzione al metodo di orazione esicasta ed all’iconografia cristiano-orientale, oltre che alcune questioni inerenti al “lessico dell’ascesi” in epoca tardo-antica, agli anni ’60 in prospettiva storico-teoretica e storico-intellettuale (Concilio Vaticano II, “tradizionalismo”, “nuovi movimenti religiosi”), alla storiografia storico-religiosa (“ermeneutica” e “scuola di Roma”), agli Indiani d’America. Ha studiato, effettuato ricerche e tenuto conferenze e seminari presso varie università ed istituti europei e statunitensi; ha vissuto e viaggiato, tra l’altro, in Francia, USA, Grecia, Marocco e nel Sudest asiatico; ha scritto decine di articoli di alta divulgazione ed in ambito pubblicistico (costume, politica, Chiesa, letteratura, attualità, storia “occulta”). Ultimamente, oltre ad insegnare in istituti superiori, si sta occupando di prospettive “metapolitiche” e – nell’ambito di un più ampio discorso relativo al legame tra lessico mistico e storia culturale – dei temi della memoria, della tradizione e della malinconia come “stimmung” di Occidente.
