Online With God: A Triangle Theory for Personal Empowerment and Biblical Understanding

$24.95
UNAVAILABLE

Status: OUT OF STOCK INDEFINITELY

We often hear of God described as the Trinity: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 

Dr. Philip Chacko points out these three entities as the sides of a triangle, perfectly balanced around a center of love and peace. As God made humans in his image, it only makes sense that humans themselves are made up of triangles as well. Dr. Chacko theorizes that each of us holds four different triangles at our core, each concerned with a different element of our inner being. But as humans, our triangles are not perfectly balanced like that of God—but He is the one and only power whose force can balance our triangles into true harmony. 

In Online with God, Dr. Chacko explores how each of our inner triangles is wired, describes how we can discover them for ourselves, and explains the true value of connecting with God in order to do so. Through this connection with God, we reach deeper understanding of the self, achieve balance, and empower ourselves to be all that we have the potential to be. With Dr. Chacko's vast knowledge of scripture and included forty-day devotional plan for further biblical understanding, Online With God stands as a thorough guide to connecting with the Creator, finding inner peace, and empowering the self for all that is to come.

AUTHOR BIO

Dr. C. Philip Chacko retired from the Christian ministry after forty-four years of serving churches in Texas. He authored worship materials used internationally in alignment with the liturgical calendar, including the Love on the Cross, Forty Days with Jesus, Women of the Cross, and Fifty Days to Power programs. Philip was raised in Kerala, a state along the southwestern coast of India, where rich orthodox traditions were first instilled by the disciple Thomas in AD 52. After graduating from Southern Asia Bible College in Bangalore, India, he came to the United States to study further at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Brite Divinity in School in Fort Worth, Texas. At Texas Christian University, he earned his Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees. After more than twenty-two years as a pastor of Disciples of Christ churches, Philip became the area minister for the Northeast region of Texas and served sixty-four congregations until 2006. He returned to pastoral ministry before retiring in 2019. He has three adult children and three grandchildren. He enjoys writing and gardening with his wife, Elizabeth, in Tyler, Texas.

PRAISE

"Theologically brilliant and astute… I highly recommend this persuasive biblical and scholarly treatment on the work of the triune God in the world. It is written with passion, in a reader-friendly style with well-crafted words and powerful illustrations…The book with its provocative insights is a special gift of God for us all!" - Dr. Saphir Athyal, Director of Faith & Development at World Vision International and Founder-Chairman of Asia Theological Association, and Former Principal of Union Biblical Seminary

"I have thoroughly enjoyed 'Online With God.' I often read a book with the leading question: 'Does this leave me thinking in new ways?' The simple answer is, yes, it does! It offers a succinct description of spirit and soul, mind and body and the relationship of these to the triangle of the Holy Trinity. It is refreshing and renewing to read. I will follow the 40 days and read them again, one day at a time! …[Dr. Chacko's] book offers nothing less than a truly holistic view of the human condition. It moves us from brokenness experienced as disharmony among our natural internal dialogue partners to a clear understanding of healing, harmony and full spiritual union with Self-God-Other. I closed the book saying to myself, 'I also want this kind of internal harmony so that I can be a person who creatively changes the world (through my words and my actions)." - Rev. Dr. Tamara Nichols Rodenberg, President of Bethany College

"Rarely does one bask in an illumination of complex matters that sparks a person to act and think in a whole new way about God, the world, human life and the intricate relationships among them all. Dr. Philip Chacko has delivered such a description of the character of God-'the Trinity' or 'Triangle' of relations-of One Being as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, whose form of Life becomes constitutive of the image that every human embodies." - Dr. David P. Moessner, A. A. Bradford Chair of Religion at Texas Christian University

"In this book, Dr. Chacko shares his understanding of humans and how God, the source of creative energy, desires to work in us to help us fulfill our human potential for love and relationships. He shows how our new internal world enables us to create a new external world. Drawing upon Scripture and his rich understanding of the human experience, Dr. Chacko offers the practice of spiritual disciplines to get us started and to enrich our journeys toward becoming people who, out of their enjoyment of the fullness of life, help to make a better world. Dr. Chacko calls us to believe that we can be the 'salt of the earth and light of the world.'" - D. Newell Williams, President and Professor of Modern and American Church History at Brite Divinity School and Texas Christian University

"'Online With God' is a delightful blend of scholarly thought and practical instruction. While the first two chapters describe the nuts and bolts of the triangle theory, the book slowly evolves into familiar examples that showcase the relatability of the theory. I especially like the last two chapters with the exercises and spiritual disciplines, where [Dr. Chacko] show[s] us how to get started on a balanced life." - Judy Phariss Collins, Manager of Pastoral Care at Texas Health Kaufman

"Dr. Chacko is a man of faith as he radiates God's light and love to all who know him. Through his teachings, he brings each of us closer to understanding the power of our living Lord. 'Online With God' allows us to realize the connectivity we can experience by keeping God as the center of our lives. Dr. Chacko reminds us of the discipline needed to be in harmony, so we can be led by God to do his will and in return receive the fullness that only God can give. Your life can be changed if you embrace the triangle theory!" - Pylar Pinkston, First Vice President and Senior Investment Manager of Wells Fargo Advisors

"Insightful and unique approach to the physical, mental and spiritual… some of the hurtful backlash of COVID is showing up as we are in a mental health crisis. Pastors, as those who proclaim the Gospel, find themselves in the middle of this crisis seeking to bring Good News to the "broken." 'Online with God' offers great insight into this dynamic of mind, body, and spirit."
- Rev. Dr. Chris Pulliam, Senior Minister of First Christian Church
