Sacred Thirst Meeting God in the Desert of Our Longings


Free Download M. Craig Barnes, "Sacred Thirst: Meeting God in the Desert of Our Longings"
English | 2001 | ISBN: 0310219558 | EPUB | pages: 224 | 1.1 mb
Jesus once said, "Whoever drinks of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty." So why are Christians still thirsty? We throw ourselves into church work, Bible studies, prayer, missions, fellowship. Yet still we search restlessly for something more. What are we missing?Perhaps the answer is, more of Jesus. Church meetings and programs, ministry, Christian counseling, and home groups are all good, but they are not him. It doesn’t matter how devoted we are to these wonderful activities; they are not the same thing as communion with Jesus. Our souls crave him alone.In Sacred Thirst, author and pastor Craig Barnes brings us face-to-face with our desperate longing for God. Like the woman at the well, we have tried to satisfy our parched souls with so many other things―even religious things. But when we get to the bottom of our desire, we find Jesus quietly waiting with his living water―intimatecommunion with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.This book is filled with unique insights into human experience and the character of God. With his keen understanding of the needs of contemporary Christians, Barnes points to the only way our thirst will ever be satisfied. Drawing from his rich background in the Bible and his tender insights as a pastor, he leads us into a new understanding ofourselves and the uncontrollable but gracious God we seek.

Circular Economy Meeting Sustainable Development Goals (Issues in Environmental Science and Technology, Volume 51)


Free Download Circular Economy: Meeting Sustainable Development Goals by Sadhan Kumar Ghosh, Gev Eduljee
English | October 13, 2023 | ISBN: 1837670692 | 318 pages | PDF | 7.72 Mb
Sustainability from an economic and environmental perspective is linked to the way we extract and consume the earth’s finite resources and is implicit in the definition of a circular economy (CE) as a model of production and consumption designed to retain value within the economic system. This can include conserving natural resources, making sustainable products by incorporating recyclability in product design, changing consumption behaviour, and adopting more sustainable business models. The UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of objectives for improving health and education, reducing inequality, and protecting our shared environment globally. The CE is a key enabler to achieving these objectives.
