Author Brian McLaren Unveils Spiritual Practices for the “Not Religious” in ‘Naked Spirituality: A Life with God in Twelve Simple Words’

Cover: Naked Spirituality by Brian McLaren

San Francisco, CA (Vocus/PRWEB) March 15, 2011

More than 20 percent of Americans define themselves as “spiritual but not religious,” a growing segment that Christian churches are finding tough to attract or keep. Author and speaker Brian McLaren suggests in his new book that a transparent encounter with God is what most spiritual people are seeking – and that this encounter is too often missing from organized religion. McLaren has penned Naked Spirituality: A Life with God in 12 Simple Words (HarperOne, March 15, 2011) to outline a dozen durable, doable spiritual practices that can lead to a truly spiritual life – and even to true religion.

McLaren, heralded in 2005 as one of TIME Magazine’s top 25 evangelicals, writes: “This is a book about getting naked—not physically, but spiritually. It’s about stripping away the symbols and status of public religion—the Sunday-dress version people often call ‘organized religion.’ We are after a lost treasure as old as the story of the Garden of Eden: the possibility of being naked and not ashamed, naked before God and naked before one another, too, where we have no need to cover up, to protect, to posture, to dress to impress, just the freedom to be who we are, what we are, as we are. I hope this book will help you strip away distractions and discover that precious hidden treasure underneath.”

Naked Spirituality offers twelve words, or practices, to anchor the reader in God and free him or her to do the holistic work the gospel calls for – to pray as well as save the planet; to worship as well as lift up the poor and needy. McLaren shares music practical wisdom for living a truly spiritual life as he presents a dozen exercises for beginning and sustaining a meaningful relationship with God. Rooted in four seasons, these practices are represented by simple words which are easy to remember but rich in transformative power:

    Season One is Simplicity: This spring-like season of spiritual awakening is built on the framework of three words representing three spiritual practices – Here, Thanks, O!
    Season Two is Complexity: Like summer, this is a season of spiritual strengthening and it is marked by three concepts: Sorry, Help, Please
    Season Three is Perplexity: This autumn-like season is one of spiritual surviving, with three practices guided by these emotive words: When?, No!, and Why?
    Season Four is Harmony: As with winter, this is a season of deepening, practiced with three spiritual. concepts: Behold, Yes, and […]

McLaren invites readers to leave behind negative experiences of religion so they can become truly spiritual people and reclaim the promise of religion. He writes: “Religion, by its etymology, is about connecting us together again. In this light true religion and naked spirituality are two names for the same thing: seeking vital connection. So if religion is experienced as promoting selfishness rather than otherliness, as prioritizing one’s own personal salvation and religiosity over the well-being of others, then religion becomes anti—religious. Maybe if we name this kind of unspiritual phenomenon “de-ligion” instead of “religion,” we can save the latter word for the traditions that enhance and support naked spirituality.”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Brian McLaren is an author, speaker, pastor, and networker among innovative Christian leaders, thinkers, and activists. His groundbreaking books include A New Kind of Christian, A Generous Orthodoxy, The Secret Message of Jesus, and Everything Must Change.

Question by Me??: What ares music some stores that have online applications for 17 year olds?
For example: Walmart, Home Depot.

Any store that I can apply for online.

Best answer:

Answer by Dale
You should be able to apply for any company that offers an online application. However, I would call the employer first to see if they hire people under the age of 18. If yes, you probably will need a workers permit from your city/state. Grocery stores and food establishments are good choices for workers under 18. Best of luck in your job search!

California Based TicketKick Shows Drivers Their Way Out of a Traffic Ticket Through the Mail, Dismissals Skyrocket in Court.

TicketKick helps drivers in CA kick their traffic tickets

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) April 26, 2011

A recent survey conducted at the offices of San Diego based TicketKick shows that only about 1 out of 10 people who have recently received a traffic ticket are aware of the ‘trial by written declaration.’ This process in California allows drivers who have received a basic traffic infraction to mail in their defenses to court instead of having to stand before an officer and a judge. Of those who were surveyed, as many as 8 out of 10 people have had at least 1 ticket in the past and some have even had up to 5 tickets or more, and yet were completely unaware of what their options were in handling their ticket.TicketKick is out to change that statistic throughout all of California.

TicketKick’s Vice President of Business Development, Sara Schoonover shares music her take on this statistic: “It’s shocking to see that most people who live and drive in California every day do not know what their rights are when they get a traffic ticket. When we built TicketKick, our biggest goal was not only to help drivers get their tickets dismissed, but to be the go-to resource for answers to traffic ticket related questions, and to educate the public of what their rights and options are.”

When asked about where they stand with their competition in the industry, Ms. Schoonover said, “There really is no competition, considering we have such a high success rate all over California, we keep our fees very low, and we have an unbeatable money-back guarantee. Our customers know us for having excellent customer service, and our friendly representatives are happy to offer a free consultation for people to find out exactly what their options are. Everyone dreads dealing with the courthouse, so we’ve made the process friendly and easy. We’re on their side.”

TicketKick’s President and CEO is convinced that no other company in the legal industry knows as much about traffic tickets and court procedures as TicketKick does. “Most law firms cover a single area or county. TicketKick has helped drivers fight tickets in every county in California, and it’s important to know what each county’s procedures and trends are. The success of getting a ticket dismissed sometimes comes down to what kind of judge you get. We have gotten to know the policies of judges very well.” He says.

TicketKick is a registered Legal Document Assistant, providing self help services to help people fight their traffic tickets, with a similar service model to companies such as LegalZoom and E*Trade. TicketKick works with attorneys in California to develop their defenses, which utilize many different arguments and tactics in traffic ticket defense. TicketKick’s goal is to help people get their traffic tickets dismissed. Although not every customer will win their case, TicketKick offers a refund of the defense fee for most violations when customers are found guilty.

The offices of TicketKick are located in Mission Valley in San Diego, and although most of their business is conducted over the phone and on the web with customers all over the state, local customers are welcome to make an appointment to visit the offices of TicketKick and meet their team. Otherwise, TicketKick representatives are happy to offer a free consultation over the phone. TicketKick customers are encouraged to post their testimonials at Facebook.com/TicketKick.TicketKick representatives can be reached at (800) 580-1902, at http://www.ticketkick.com, or at questions(at)ticketkick(dot)com.

Light My Fire: Hot Advice from College Admission Experts at Westtown School

West Chester, PA (PRWEB) May 13, 2011

What are colleges really looking for? At an informal session on April 28, Westtown School parents and students got answers to this question, along with a peek at the forces driving college admission today, from admission directors at Haverford College and The University of Pennsylvania. Jess Lord, a 1990 graduate of Westtown who is Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid at Haverford, and Eric Furda, Dean of Admission at Penn, led a discussion at the pre-K – 12 day and boarding school in West Chester, PA, for a diverse group that included parents with children of all ages.

In an era where college admission is perceived as a grueling marathon to gain acceptance at a handful of elite institutions, Lord and Furda reassured the Westtown audience that it’s not question of winning and losing: it’s about students finding the school that best fits their needs. College admission, Lord said, is a process of self-discovery for students. The best candidates are critical thinkers, ones who know themselves as learners and who are empowered to look beyond mere prestige to other differentiators and indicators of institutional merit. Furda used the example of Westtown graduates: on an annual basis, about 100 students attend nearly 60 different colleges and universities (the average college list for schools similar to Westtown is 25). He sees Westtown students taking advantage of a full range of educational options, “and that’s powerful!”

So what do colleges look for? What’s important as students build their college resumes, and how should they present themselves on paper and in person during the application process? According to Penn’s Furda, there’s no magic formula. More than anything, he said, “We just want to know who you are.” He went on to describe four basic kinds of information admission offices are attuned to as they evaluate essays, applications and interviews: Intellect (how a student thinks and learns), Ideas (what the student thinks about), Interests (what a student chooses to do) and Inspiration (what excites the student’s passion). Susan Tree, Director of Westtown’s College Counseling Program, put it this way: “A student who can tell a compelling story using an authentic voice will always come across as a strong candidate in a competitive process,” she said.

A mother in the audience alluded to the “Tiger Mom” phenomenon when she described parents who send their children to SAT prep classes starting at age 11, get them tutors, find them summer internships and dictate their activities – all in an effort to build the most impressive college resumes. The Westtown mother asked if college admission officers could “see through” a situation like this one, where parents are the driving force behind their children’s decisions, and whether they would accept such a student.

Laughing in recognition, Lord and Furda acknowledged that Haverford and Penn have indeed accepted “cubs” of these Tiger Moms. But they hastened to add that rigorous academics and impressive credentials alone are not enough. Without a spark, something is missing. Students who can convey passion and inspiration are often more compelling candidates in the final analysis. Jess Lord added that when a college admission team sits down to decide which applicants to admit, the conversation isn’t about the credentials – the what. It’s about the why, the intangibles that get at a student’s essence. Credentials provide context for the discussion but in the end, it’s all about what kind of community member an individual will be at college.

Appropriate involvement by parents in the college application process will be different for every family, but above all else, the experts advise, make sure to put the child in the driver’s seat. Parents may need to be more involved today than in the past because the process has become so complex, but they should never forget it’s the student who will be having the experience. Parents obviously want to protect their children, and, says Jess Lord, “the stress of the process is very real, but it’s something we can all get past, and in the end it’s not something that mars our lives or defines who we are. It’s the degree to which any one of us invests ourselves in the opportunities we have – in the college experience we get to have – that’s what defines us more than anything else.”

Westtown School is a coeducational college preparatory school for grades preK – 12. Located in West Chester, PA, it was founded by Quakers in 1799. Its Upper School, with day and boarding options, attracts an international student body. Westtown offers a rigorous academic education that teaches the mind to think and empowers young people to act on the courage of their convictions.
