Books about Treasuring from Amazon.com

God is the treasure of our lives. He is part of everything we do, think, act, and say—literally, he is a part of us. This precious heirloom of Christ himself must be passed on to future generations But how?

Treasuring God in Our Traditions presents the importance of passing along Christ-centered traditions and a Bible-saturated legacy in Christ to future generations. Noël Piper helps her readers recognize how the “everyday” routines of life and the “especially” celebrations of holidays and dates can be practically passed down to future generations. When parents and grandparents seek to pass along the treasure of God to their children and grandchildren, they will develop and deepen their love for him.

When family traditions are rooted in the Bible, the next generations will see that the greatest treasure that anyone can have is the treasure of God.

An inspirational guide to finding deeper spirituality and meaning in life, by Ronald N. Beshara, STL, JCL. While grounded in the author's Christian experience, this is a book for everyone who wants to explore a relationship with God, self and others, and to becoming a more active participant in one's own life. In his book, Monsignor Beshara urges us to celebrate the journey of life rather than anticipate the completion of some quest or goal. Whether in recovery from chemical dependency or not, readers will resonate with Msgr. Beshara's descriptions of spirituality within the Twelve Step Journey. In engaging style, the author explores such profound questions as "Is this all there is?" "What is Spirituality and how do I 'get' it?" With scripture, personal stories, and insights from philosophers, world history's religious leaders, authors and scholars, Msgr. Beshara vividly draws in the reader to explore spiritual fulfilment. He employs exercises and capsuled lessons at the end of each chapter. The seemingly simple is often the most illusive. To find spirituality, Msgr. Beshara leads us back to a truth that life itself in the treasure. In a society that is consumed with achievement and acquisition, there is little time for contemplation, self-knowledge or appreciation of the moment. The author shows that "love serves life," that service is ultimately fulfilling..

Among the many who treasure Algonquin Park in Ontario, Canada are a small group of leasehold residents who have occupied small corners of the Park since the earliest days of the 20th century It is a book about their heritage, the depth and breadth of their roots in the community, their traditions and experiences living and settling in the forest 35 miles from the closest town , their passion for Algonquin and its tradition of multiple-use, their community and its activities and their contributions both large and small to the environment and to quality Park experiences for all who visit. Treasuring Algonquin is all about that leasehold community of 300+ leaseholds spread across 19 lakes paralleling for the most part the old railway right-of-way whose forebears were invited by the Ontario Government to establish cottages in the Park. Until 1954 cottagers were welcomed with open arms, support and encouragement. For some families it's the fifth generation who are now learning to appreciate Algonquin and its beauty. Most of the time, you'd hardly know they were there ­ until you run into trouble while paddling on one of the lakes, lose your way, need medical attention or get caught in a storm or a heavy northwind. Then they miraculously appear to provide help and guidance and occasionally save your life. Mostly in residence on weekends from ice-out to ice-in, and for a few weeks in the summer, members of this small but vibrant community of 9000+ extended family members 'have become as much a part of Algonquin as the loons and the ladyslippers'. Through much "detective-work", Clemson has blended current and historical narratives with extensive research, through files seldom searched, to provide a glimpse into the lives of the leaseholders who have treasured their experiences in Algonquin Park throughout the past century..
