Meeting One's True Needs

J. Paul Briggs

4.9/5 (12996 ratings)

Description:Blaise Pascal, a famous philosopher and scientist of the mid-19th Century, compared the choice of believing in God to be a much better risk than what we are often willing to gamble at the poker table. In any game of cards, we take a chance on winning but risk everything if we lose. When we take a chance on believing in God, however, we lose nothing and yet have the opportunity to win everything, and win it for eternity. Some might say, if we guessed wrong, we sacrificed our time, effort, and money given to the church, or to others in its name. But as anyone can attest, the process of being a faithful believer is healthy and positive, doing some good to the giver and receiver. So even this "loss" may actually be a personal gain ...as the giving of oneself, and energy and treasures, is its own reward. A priest once said, surely for any believer, "God and His promises are as certain as sin and its consequences." God's promises of love and mercy are ever present to all who are open to Him. The true and proper "love of self" can only be fulfilled through our "love of God and others" and is critical toward fulfilling one's true needs. It must be nurtured, as "one does not live by bread alone, but by the Word of God," ...so reading, hearing and seeing the Good News in action is essential. When one heeds this message, there will always be "a light to one's feet and a lamp to one's path" and the proper motivation enough "to do the next right and loving thing." Our faith continues to grow naturally and positively when we come to see the good all around us and begin to realize God's constant flow of grace, gifts, and miracles in common everyday experiences. This book builds upon the already vast secular and Christian "self-help" literature and attempts to organize, analyze, and interpret the best of both worlds. Though not personalized, the author does provide an integrative account of some of the most useful ideas as experienced over one life's journey. The term "true needs" is introduced to indicate that there are spiritual and social dimensions to our individual "needs." This ironically is countercultural to commonly accepted academic beliefs about our human nature. Understanding the true meaning of life however, requires a complete view of our human nature and needs, and influences how one goes about trying to improve it at every level: individual, social, societal and cultural. This 355 page, 16 chapter book is uniquely designed to help, inspire, and intellectually challenge those on the search for truth.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
