Philosophies of Spiritual Leaders: Inspiration and guidance to strengthen your relationship with God

There is a lot going on in the world today, and spiritual leaders are needed more than ever. People are searching for the meaning of life and their Purpose, but are being turned off by organized religion. There are people protesting the funerals of fallen soldiers, and condemning unwed mothers and anyone who doesn’t live up to seemingly impossible standards, all in the name of religion. This is causing conflict in the minds of people about who God is, and whether He is a Being of condemnation or one of love. Many people think they need to clean up their lives, and become pristine and perfect before they come to God and that is simply untrue. In this book, Christy shares insights and quotes from Spiritual Leaders who have impacted millions of people around the world with their messages of love, acceptance and forgiveness. Her goal is to promote wholeness and self-love through a relationship with God. This book is for anyone who wants to know how to apply Biblical principles to their everyday life. It’s in plain language, not scriptural, and shares lessons that other leaders have learned along their journeys of life. If you want to know what leaders have struggled with in their lives, and how they are being used by God to serve others, this book is for you! Christy Rutherford is a Leadership and Success Coach and assists stressed out and overwhelmed professionals. www.christyrutherford.com

Sacred Intentions: Morning Inspiration to Strengthen the Spirit Based on the Jewish Wisdom Tradition

A daily inspirational companion of comfort, reassurance and hope, grounded in the wisdom and strength of Judaism. To help you start each day of the year on a positive note, there is an inspiring quote from a Jewish source and a brief, striking reflection on it through which you can gain new understanding and perspective.

You’ll turn to Sacred Intentions again and again for optimism, hope and renewal. With a wealth of contributions by over 40 respected and inspiring spiritual leaders from all parts of the Jewish community, this lovely book will help you start the day with a powerful positive attitude.Sacred Intentions, as its subtitle explains, offers “daily inspiration to strengthen the spirit, based on Jewish wisdom.” Rabbis Kerry M. Olitzky and Lori Forman, both experts on Jewish spirituality, collaborated to create this pocket-size devotional companion. For each day of the year, Sacred Intentions provides a quotation from Scripture, Midrash, or other holy texts, or from contemporary writers such as Rabbi Lawrence Kushner (“The wilderness is not just a desert through which we wandered for forty years. It is a way of being. A place that demands being open to the flow of life around you.”) and Rabbi Judith Abrams (“You don’t want to change, yet at the same time you don’t want to stay the same. So how does Judaism suggest you begin changing without toppling the construct of your existence? Change one tiny thing at a time.”) Brief commentaries on each quotation will help readers bring to bear the wisdom of this devotional on every hour of their days. Sacred Intentions is well-designed, straightforward, and accessible. For many, spending time with this book will also be habit-forming. And what a habit–learning to see blessings everywhere we look.
