I am not Christian by any stretch of the imagination, but this sounded so different from what I usually see in Christian non-fiction/spirituality books that I had to try. This. Was. Brilliant! A call for Christians to rise up against hatred is exactly what many Christians need to hear today. Even if you aren't Christian, you can't help but be impressed by Arnold and what he was writing, and urging others to do. A must-read. ( ) The Inner Life is the first volume of Arnold's major work, The Inner Land. Arnold calls the book an appeal in light of the approaching political and social crises he saw coming. Since the five volumes that make up The Inner Land were completed after Hitler's rise to power in Germany, the crises Arnold sees coming was real, and decidedly apocalyptic, but there is no hyperbole in this first volume but rather an examination of the human heart and soul in light of the teachings of Jesus and what we know about the heart and Spirit of God. Arnold was a man of his time, but again and again I was struck how closely his insights resonate with those of contemporary writers calling for conversion. In some respects, though his approach is from the German philosophical and exegetical tradition, his conclusions echo those of people from diverse traditions, like Gandhi, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and John Dear. This book is a call to conversion, and we badly need to hear and heed its call to communal love and nonviolence. Det här är en av LibraryThings förhandsrecensioner. Inner Land invites us to discover the abundance of a life lived for God. It helps us to master the life we are called to by God. Eberhard says only there can our life be placed under the illuminating light of the eternal and seen for what it is. Only there will we find the clarity of vision we need to win the daily battle that is life. This is a very moving and spiritual book. For years I devoted my life to God and any ministry He sent my way. The Holy Spirit was leading me in wonderful ways and when I obeyed, I was blessed with seeing God at work for others. Inner Land shows us the abundance of a life lived for God. Trust in God and recognizing His Voice was imperative to my life and alto that of the author of "inner Life" by Eberhard Arnold. This book is the first of five volumes. you won't want to miss any in the series. Det här är en av LibraryThings förhandsrecensioner. A still small voice from one of the stormiest periods of history. Volume 1 of The Inner Life discusses the architecture of our inner life – heart, soul and spirit. This will be the foundation for reflection in the remaining volumes on how to take action from our spiritual center, even and especially in times of violent social upheaval.This book goes deep and is worth reading slowly. I received an ARC of this book from the publisher. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

A trusted guide into the inner realm where our spirits find strength to master life and live for God. It is hard to exaggerate the significance of Innerland, either for Eberhard Arnold or his readers. It absorbed his energies off and on for most of his adult life--from World War I, when he published the first chapter under the title War: A Call to Inwardness, to 1935, the last year of his life. Packed in metal boxes and buried at night for safekeeping from the Nazis, who raided the author's study a year before his death (and again a year after it), Innerland was not openly critical of Hitler's regime. Nevertheless, it attacked the spirits that animated German society: its murderous strains of racism and bigotry, its heady nationalistic fervor, its mindless mass hysteria, and its vulgar materialism. In this sense Innerland stands as starkly opposed to the zeitgeist of our own day as to that of the author's. At a glance, the focus of Innerland seems to be the cultivation of the spiritual life as an end in itself. Nothing could be more misleading. In fact, to Eberhard Arnold the very thought of encouraging the sort of selfish solitude whereby people seek their own private peace by shutting out the noise and rush of public life around them is anathema. He writes in The Inner Life:"These are times of distress. We cannot retreat, willfully blind to the overwhelming urgency of the tasks pressing on society. We cannot look for inner detachment in an inner and outer isolation...The only justification for withdrawing into the inner self to escape today's confusing, hectic whirl would be that fruitfulness is enriched by it. It is a question of gaining within, through unity with eternal powers, a strength of character ready to be tested in the stream of the world." Innerland, then, calls us not to passivity, but to action. It invites us to discover the abundance of a life lived for God. It opens our eyes to the possibilities of that "inner land of the invisible where our spirit can find the roots of its strength and thus enable us to press on to the mastery of life we are called to by God." Only there, says Eberhard Arnold, can our life be placed under the illuminating light of the eternal and seen for what it is. Only there will we find the clarity of vision we need to win the daily battle that is life, and the inner anchor without which we will lose our moorings. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
