The Church: Foundations and Mission - Carrie J. Schroeder, MDiv, EdD Cover Art

The Church: Foundations and Mission

The Church: Foundations and Mission by Carrie J. Schroeder, MDiv, EdD

The Church Foundations and Mission is the fourth semester course (second semester in year 2) in the new high school series Live Jesus in Our Hearts. This series takes a fresh approach to the Framework outline, bringing in new themes such as in-depth use of scripture, extensive online resources, and an invitational, evangelizing approach. The Church Foundations and Mission continues the series commitment to combine the Framework content points with Scripture reading and exegesis. The course studies the Church’s mission by exploring its foundations, images, and structure. At the same time, the course takes a deep dive into the Gospel of Matthew, the Gospel of the Church. The words and actions of Jesus in Matthew help lead to a deeper understanding of what it really means to be “church.” To help flesh this out, every unit also has one or more articles that explore Pope Francis’ writings on what it means to be the Church in today’s world.

What Grows in Weary Lands - Tish Harrison Warren Cover Art

What Grows in Weary Lands

What Grows in Weary Lands On Christian Resilience by Tish Harrison Warren

How do we cultivate faith that endures? From award-winning author and former New York Times writer Tish Harrison Warren comes a fresh vision for navigating burnout and weariness through ancient Christian practices—guiding us toward lives of resilience, renewal, and flourishing. “Warren is one of our best living spiritual writers. . . . It would be impossible to overstate how warmly I recommend this book to all.”—John Mark Comer, New York Times bestselling author of Practicing the Way and The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry Early Christians often grappled with a reality we rarely talk about in contemporary life: that God seems to abandon the soul at times, leaving us feeling as if we are alone and left to our own resources. These are times of futility, when work and relationships feel hard, when prayer feels unsatisfying, and we question whether our efforts are amounting to anything. For centuries, Warren notes, times of “aridity” were seen as necessary prerequisites for growth and maturity. Yet in our culture fixated on speed and optimization, we risk losing this deeper sense of the human journey and the resilience that comes with it. Writing for a moment when two-thirds of Americans are dissatisfied with their work, and a sense of languishing is widespread, Warren draws from both her own season of exhaustion and the rich well of Christian tradition—particularly that of the earliest Christian monks—to discover the habits and mindsets that anchor us in times of doubt, difficulty, and spiritual dryness. She offers hope to those who feel like life is overwhelming, taxing, and disorienting. What Grows in Weary Lands speaks to anyone longing for a life of depth in a distracted age. Warren helps us see that nothing is wasted—that even in desert seasons something good is growing, rooted in grace and reaching toward glory.

Inside Scientology - Janet Reitman Cover Art

Inside Scientology

Inside Scientology The Story of America's Most Secretive Religion by Janet Reitman

" The most complete picture of Scientology so far." —Garry Wills,  New York Times Book Review Based on five years of research, access to confidential documents, and extensive interviews with current and former Scientologists, Janet Reitman sheds some long-awaited light on the ever-elusive religion of the Church of Scientology. Scientology, created in 1954 by pulp science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, claims to be the world's fastest growing religion, with millions of members and huge financial holdings. Celebrity believers keep its profile high. But Scientology is also a very closed faith, harassing journalists and others through litigation and intimidation. Its attacks on psychiatry and its requirement that believers pay as much as tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars for salvation have drawn scrutiny. Ex-members use the internet to share stories of harassment and abuse. Reitman offers the first full journalistic history of the Church of Scientology in an account that establishes the truth about the controversial religion. She traces Scientology's development from the birth of Dianetics to today, following its metamorphosis from a pseudoscientific self-help group to a global spiritual corporation with profound control over its followers and ex-followers. This is a defining book about a little-known world. "[A] searing expose." — People Magazine "A masterful piece of reporting." — Washington Post "This book is fearless." — Wall Street Journal "[A] frightening portrait of a religion that many find not just controversial, but dangerous." — Boston Globe "[Reitman's] revelations — including abuse allegations against church leader David Miscavige and details about the organization's aggressive courtship of Tom Cruise — come with impressive backup." — Entertainment Weekly

40 días de viaje en silencio hoy - S. Zambrano Cover Art

40 días de viaje en silencio hoy

40 días de viaje en silencio hoy Una guía para escuchar a Dios en el silencio by S. Zambrano

¿Cuándo fue la última vez que te quedaste en silencio de verdad? No el silencio de no tener nada que decir. El silencio de elegir escuchar. 40 Días de Viaje en Silencio es un devocional cristiano que te lleva de la mano a través de un proceso espiritual profundo: desde el ruido que has elegido sin darte cuenta, hasta el lugar tranquilo donde Dios te ha estado esperando todo este tiempo. Durante cuarenta días, recorrerás cinco etapas que Jesús mismo conoció: el ruido, el desierto, la escucha, la sanación y el regreso. Cada día incluye un versículo ancla, una reflexión honesta sobre la vida real, una cita de los grandes maestros contemplativos como San Juan de la Cruz, Santa Teresa de Ávila y San Agustín una práctica de silencio concreta y guiada, una pregunta que acompaña el alma todo el día, y una oración escrita desde el corazón, no desde el manual. Este no es un devocional de respuestas fáciles ni frases vacías. Es una invitación a lo que siempre has querido pero quizás no sabías cómo encontrar: una relación más profunda, más honesta y más viva con Dios. Porque el silencio no estaba vacío. Solo estabas demasiado ocupado para notar que Él seguía ahí. S. Zambrano escribe desde su propio camino: con vulnerabilidad, con humor cuando hace falta, y con la convicción de que Dios puede encontrarte exactamente donde estás.

Charlie Kirk and His Stop, In the Name of God - Charlie Franklin Cover Art

Charlie Kirk and His Stop, In the Name of God

Charlie Kirk and His Stop, In the Name of God How One Man's Crusade to Reclaim Faith and Freedom Is Reshaping American Politics, Culture, and the Christian Right by Charlie Franklin

What happens when one young man decides that God, country, and freedom are worth everything? Charlie Kirk was eighteen years old when he looked at the state of America and decided he could not stay silent. No political connections. No family fortune. No establishment backing. Just a folding table, an unshakeable conviction, and a faith that told him the soul of a nation was worth fighting for. In Charlie Kirk and His Stop, In the Name of God, you will discover the full story of one of the most consequential voices in American public life today. From the founding of Turning Point USA in a high school gymnasium to commanding one of the most powerful conservative media platforms in the country, Kirk's journey is a testament to what becomes possible when courage, faith, and purpose align. This book takes you inside the movement that is waking up campuses, energizing churches, and inspiring a generation of young Americans to stand up for the values their culture has told them to abandon. You will understand, perhaps for the first time, why Kirk's message has resonated with millions of believers who felt that no one was speaking their language — and why the forces arrayed against him are fighting so hard to make him stop. Covering every dimension of Kirk's public life and mission, this book explores: The founding of Turning Point USA and the audacious decision to take the fight directly to America's campuses The theological case for a Christian America, drawn from the Declaration of Independence and the words of the Founding Fathers themselves How Kirk built a media empire that functions as a modern ministry, reaching millions with a message of faith, freedom, and national renewal The growing alliance between the MAGA movement and the evangelical church, and what it means for the future of American Christianity The organized opposition attempting to silence Kirk, and what their desperation reveals about the stakes of the battle A hopeful and historically grounded vision for the next Great Awakening in American life Whether you are a longtime supporter of Charlie Kirk's work, a pastor navigating faith and politics, a student searching for the courage to stand, or an American who senses that something precious is slipping away and wants to understand why, this book was written for you. The fight for America's soul is not over. The invitation is open. The moment is now. Stop, in the name of God — and choose to be part of what comes next.

Mere Christianity - C. S. Lewis Cover Art

Mere Christianity

Mere Christianity by C. S. Lewis

Mere Christianity has sold millions of copies worldwide in over half a century. It is one of the most popular introductions to the Christian faith ever written. This classic brings together C. S. Lewis's legendary broadcast talks from the war years in which he set out to simply "explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times." By rejecting the many boundaries that has been dividing Christianity’s many denominations for centuries, Lewis provides an unparalleled opportunity for both believers and unbelievers alike to hear a powerful, rational case for the Christian faith. This book is a collection of sparkling brilliance that is strikingly fresh for the modern reader and at the same time confirms C. S. Lewis’ reputation as one of the foremost writers and thinkers of all time. “If wit and wisdom, style and scholarship are requisites to passage through the pearly gates, Mr. Lewis will be among the angels.” - THE NEW YORKER “Lewis is the ideal persuader for the half-convinced, for the good man who would like to be a Christian but finds his intellect getting in the way.” - NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW “It is not surprising that Lewis’s time-proven views are still flourishing while most other mid-20th-century works are nearly neglected.” - WALL STREET JOURNAL “C. S. Lewis understood, like few in the past century, just how deeply faith is both imaginative and rational.” - CHRISTIANITY TODAY

The Book of Enoch - Thomas R, Horn & Enoch Cover Art

The Book of Enoch

The Book of Enoch by Thomas R, Horn & Enoch

The Bible, as we hold it today, is esteemed by many religious institutions and especially Conservative Christians to be the inspired, inerrant Word of God. This doctrinal position affirms that the Bible is unlike all other books or collections of works in that it is free of error due to having been given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2 Tim. 3:16, 17). While no other text can claim this same unique authority, the Book of Enoch is an ancient Jewish religious work, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah, which played a crucial role in forming the worldview of the authors of the New Testament, who were not only familiar with it but quoted it in the New Testament, Epistle of Jude, Jude 1:14 15, and is attributed there to "Enoch the Seventh from Adam" (1 En 60:8). The text was also utilized by the community that originally collected and studied the Dead Sea Scrolls. While some churches today include Enoch as part of the biblical canon (for example the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church), other Christian denominations and scholars accept it only as having historical or theological non-canonical interest and frequently use or assigned it as supplemental materials within academic settings to help students and scholars discover or better understand cultural and historical context of the early Christian Church. The Book of Enoch provides commentators valuable insight into what many ancient Jews and early Christians believed when, God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets (Heb. 1:1). As Dr. Michael S. Heiser in the Introduction to his important book Reversing Hermon so powerfully notes: For those to whom 1 Enoch sounds unfamiliar, this is the ancient apocalyptic literary work known popularly (but imprecisely) as the Book of Enoch. Most scholars believe that 1 Enoch was originally written in Aramaic perhaps as early as the 3rd century B.C. The oldest fragments of the book were found among the Dead Sea Scrolls and dated to roughly the second century B.C. This places the book squarely in the middle of what scholars call the Second Temple Period (ca. 500 B.C. 70 A.D.), an era more commonly referred to as the Intertestamental Period. This book will use the more academic designation ( Second Temple Period ) [...] The Watcher story of 1 Enoch, as many readers will recall, is an expansion of the episode described in Genesis 6:1-4, where the sons of God (Hebrew: beney ha- elohim) came in to the daughters of man (Gen 6:4; ESV). Consequently, Watchers is the Enochian term of choice (among others) for the divine sons of God. While the story of this supernatural rebellion occupies scant space in Genesis, it received considerable attention during the Second Temple Period [...] The Enochian version of the events of Gen 6:1-4 preserves and transmits the original Mesopotamian context for the first four verses of the flood account. Every element of Gen 6:1-4 has a Mesopotamian counterpoint a theological target that provides the rationale for why these four verses wound up in the inspired text in the first place. Connections to that backstory can be found in the Old Testament, but they are scattered and unsystematically presented. This is not the case with Second Temple Jewish literature like 1 Enoch. Books like 1 Enoch preserve all of the Mesopotamian touchpoints with Gen 6:1-4 when presenting their expanded retelling of the events of that biblical passage. The Book of Enoch is therefore intended to be an important supplemental resource for assisting serious researchers and students in the study of the Bible.

Backslide - Robert P. Jones Cover Art

Backslide

Backslide Reclaiming a Faith and a Nation After the Christian Turn Against Democracy by Robert P. Jones

“Bracing—Jones presents a vision of America as “fallen into... apostasy.” But he remains hopeful, noting that “backsliding is not irreversible,” as “repentance is possible... with confession” and the “acknowledging of difficult truths.” It’s a potent reckoning."— Publishers Weekly From the New York Times bestselling author of The Hidden Roots of White Supremacy , a clear-eyed reckoning with the moral collapse of white Christianity and a call to protect American democracy. What happens when the church trades faith for power, and democracy for dominion? In this searing book, Robert P. Jones names our moment for what it is: a great Backslide . White Christianity’s devotion to Donald Trump and Christian nationalism is not only a regression into authoritarian politics but a profound act of apostasy—a betrayal of the best of the Christian tradition. Through reflections on history, his upbringing in the white evangelical South, and decades of social science research, Jones lays bare the roots of this collapse and the dangers it poses for our future. He takes us inside a faith tradition marked by an impoverished relationship to the Bible, a rejection of a genuine search for truth, and an upside-down world where empathy is considered a vice. Yet amid the wreckage, Jones finds signs of hope in efforts to remake our national holiday rituals and recover a Christianity that remains committed to democracy. Timely and unflinching, Backslide is essential reading for anyone unwilling to surrender the soul of faith or the promise of democracy. A prophetic summons to moral responsibility, it reminds us that time is short for deciding which Christianity, and which America, will prevail.

Misquoting Jesus - Bart D. Ehrman Cover Art

Misquoting Jesus

Misquoting Jesus The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why by Bart D. Ehrman

When world-class biblical scholar Bart Ehrman first began to study the texts of the Bible in their original languages he was startled to discover the multitude of mistakes and intentional alterations that had been made by earlier translators. In Misquoting Jesus, Ehrman tells the story behind the mistakes and changes that ancient scribes made to the New Testament and shows the great impact they had upon the Bible we use today. He frames his account with personal reflections on how his study of the Greek manuscripts made him abandon his once ultraconservative views of the Bible. Since the advent of the printing press and the accurate reproduction of texts, most people have assumed that when they read the New Testament they are reading an exact copy of Jesus's words or Saint Paul's writings. And yet, for almost fifteen hundred years these manuscripts were hand copied by scribes who were deeply influenced by the cultural, theological, and political disputes of their day. Both mistakes and intentional changes abound in the surviving manuscripts, making the original words difficult to reconstruct. For the first time, Ehrman reveals where and why these changes were made and how scholars go about reconstructing the original words of the New Testament as closely as possible. Ehrman makes the provocative case that many of our cherished biblical stories and widely held beliefs concerning the divinity of Jesus, the Trinity, and the divine origins of the Bible itself stem from both intentional and accidental alterations by scribes -- alterations that dramatically affected all subsequent versions of the Bible.

The Awe of God - John Bevere Cover Art

The Awe of God

The Awe of God The Astounding Way a Healthy Fear of God Transforms Your Life by John Bevere

Do you long for an intimate relationship with your Creator, but He seems elusive? Perhaps it is because something utterly essential is missing—the fear of the Lord. Don’t let this frighten you. Fearing God is very different than being afraid of God. It’s the key to everything. Holy Fear is not a topic you’ll hear much about these days. But if you want to build a faith that stands strong through troubled times, you cannot afford to ignore this book. In The Awe of God, John Bevere invites you to take a fresh look at what it means to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. This healthy, holy, and largely forgotten virtue is the uncommon path to a more fulfilled and fruitful spiritual life. In this book you will see why godly fear is the foundation of: Wisdom, understanding, and knowledgeForesight, clarity, and divine directionMaturity and conformity to the image of Jesus ChristBuilding an eternal legacyConfidence, fearlessness, and securityFreedom from the fear of man as all lesser fears are eclipsed If you look at the men and women in Scripture, the ones who lived and finish well all have one thing in common: they are marked by holy fear. The Awe of God was designed to be read slowly and intentionally, given its devotional format. At the end of each of the 42 chapters are five tools to help you deepen your understanding and apply what the Spirit of God is teaching you. With this compelling and convicting message, you can experience a revival in your relationship with God, whether you’re new to following Him or have walked with Him for most of your life.

My Battlefield - Joyce Meyer Cover Art

My Battlefield

My Battlefield A Life Broken and Made Whole by Joyce Meyer

Beloved Bible teacher and ministry leader Joyce Meyer shares the unforgettable story of her troubled upbringing, her call to ministry, and God’s healing hand upon her life in this boldly honest and moving memoir. “I feel it’s necessary to disclose certain details of my story so readers can begin to grasp how completely God can change people, how deeply He can reach into a damaged soul and restore it, and how thoroughly He can heal a broken heart. ” —From the Introduction Joyce Meyer grew up in America’s Midwest in the 1940s and 50s. After her father’s return from the battlefields of World War II, she spent her childhood in a home warped by his relentless rage and the horrific sexual abuse she suffered at his hands—a battlefield of her own. Yet it was from these harrowing beginnings that she emerged as a pioneering figure, becoming the first modern woman to lead a global Christian ministry, investing her life in helping others, raising a loving family, and creating a legacy of hope and healing that will live on well beyond the span of her extraordinary life. Her story is a living testament to God’s ability to transform and redeem even the most deeply wounded among us. My Battlefield tells this story with the same unflinching honesty, determined faith, and surprising humor that has characterized Joyce’s teaching over the last five decades. For every heart-breaking story we read about her childhood, characterized by darkness and shame, and from the years of bitterness and anger that followed as she struggled to learn how to trust in the goodness of God and others, we also read amazing stories of God’s unique hand on her life. We watch a life once desecrated and marked for destruction be redeemed, healed, and called to do work that has brought hope and light to millions of other lives. Joyce invites you to experience both the pain and the miracle of her story in My Battlefield. “My sole motivation for writing this book is to convey to people who have been hurt, abused, damaged, or broken in some way that no matter how horrendous the situation was or how long it lasted, God can redeem it. If He can transform my life as completely as He has, He can transform yours completely, too.

Soul Care 7 Transformational Principles for a Healthy Soul by Rob Reimer

Soul Care explores seven principles that can lead to lasting transformation and freedom for all who struggle with a broken, damaged, and sin-stained soul. Brokenness grasps for the soul of humanity. We are broken body, soul, and spirit, and we need the healing touch of Jesus. Soul Care explores seven principles that are profound healing tools of God: securing your identity, repentance, breaking family sin patterns, forgiving others, healing wounds, overcoming fears, and deliverance. Dr. Rob Reimer challenges readers to engage in an interactive, roll-up-your-sleeves and get messy process -- a journey of self-reflection, Holy Spirit inspiration, deep wrestling, and surrender. It is a process of discovering yourself in true community and discovering God as He pierces through the layers of your heart. Life change is hard. But these principles, when packaged together and lived out, can lead to lasting transformation, freedom, and a healthy soul. Soul Care encourages you to gather a small group of comrades in arms, read and process together, open your souls to one another, access the presence and power of God together, and journey together into the freedom and fullness of Christ.

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry How to Stay Emotionally Healthy and Spiritually Alive in the Chaos of the Modern World by John Mark Comer

THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER WITH ONE MILLION COPIES SOLD! • AN ECPA BESTSELLER • A compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favor of a slower, simpler way of life—from the author of Practicing the Way “Prophetic, practical, and profoundly life giving . . . provides a way forward that creates hope, hunger, and a vision of a beautiful life. I consider this required reading.”—Jon Tyson, lead pastor of the Church of the City New York and author of Beautiful Resistance “Who am I becoming?” That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. Outwardly, he appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren’t pretty. So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words: “Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life.” It wasn’t the response he expected, but it was—and continues to be—the answer he needs. Too often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing at hurry, or busyness, as a root of much evil. Within the pages of this book, you’ll find a fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world.

Confessions - Augustine & Sarah Ruden Cover Art

Confessions

Confessions by Augustine & Sarah Ruden

One of the great works of Western literature, from perhaps the most important thinker of Christian antiquity, in a revolutionary new translation by one of today’s leading classicists Sarah Ruden’s fresh, dynamic translation of Confessions brings us closer to Augustine’s intent than any previous version. It puts a glaring spotlight on the life of one individual to show how all lives have meaning that is universal and eternal. In this intensely personal narrative, Augustine tells the story of his sinful youth and his conversion to Christianity. He describes his ascent from a humble farm in North Africa to a prestigious post in the Roman Imperial capital of Milan, his struggle against his own overpowering sexuality, his renunciation of secular ambition and marriage, and the recovery of the faith his mother had taught him during his earliest years. Augustine’s concerns are often strikingly contemporary, and the confessional mode he invented can be seen everywhere in writing today.  Grounded in her command of Latin as it was written and spoken in the ancient world, Sarah Ruden’s translation is a bold departure from its predecessors—and the most historically accurate translation ever. Stylistically beautiful, with no concessions made to suit later theology and ritual, Ruden’s rendition will give readers a startling and illuminating new perspective on one of the central texts of Christianity. Praise for Confessions “[Ruden] has clearly thought deeply about what Augustine was trying to say.” — The Wall Street Journal “A translation of [Augustine’s] masterwork that does justice both to him and to his God . . . Repeated small acts of attention to the humble, human roots of Augustine’s imagery of his relations to God enable Ruden to convey a living sense of the Being before Whom we find him transfixed in prayer: ‘Silent, long-suffering and with so much mercy in your heart.’” — The New York Review of Books “Delightfully readable . . . In this lively translation filled with vivid, personal prose, Ruden introduces readers to a saint whom many will realize they only thought they knew. . . . Approaching her subject with deep religious and historical knowledge, [Ruden] chooses to translate Augustine as a performative, engaging storyteller rather than a systematic theologian.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Ruden’s translation makes Augustine’s ancient text accessible to a new generation of readers with a real taste of the original Latin.” — Library Journal “[Ruden’s] record as a translator of ancient texts . . . clearly establishes her considerable talent.” — Christianity Today

The Four Loves - C. S. Lewis Cover Art

The Four Loves

The Four Loves by C. S. Lewis

The Four Loves summarizes four kinds of human love--affection, friendship, erotic love, and the love of God. Masterful without being magisterial, this book's wise, gentle, candid reflections on the virtues and dangers of love draw on sources from Jane Austen to St. Augustine. The chapter on charity (love of God) may be the best thing Lewis ever wrote about Christianity. Consider his reflection on Augustine's teaching that one must love only God, because only God is eternal, and all earthly love will someday pass away: Who could conceivably begin to love God on such a prudential ground--because the security (so to speak) is better? Who could even include it among the grounds for loving? Would you choose a wife or a Friend--if it comes to that, would you choose a dog--in this spirit? One must be outside the world of love, of all loves, before one thus calculates. His description of Christianity here is no less forceful and opinionated than in Mere Christianity or The Problem of Pain , but it is far less anxious about its reader's response--and therefore more persuasive than any of his apologetics. When he begins to describe the nature of faith, Lewis writes: "Take it as one man's reverie, almost one man's myth. If anything in it is useful to you, use it; if anything is not, never give it a second thought." A candid, wise, and warmly personal book in which Lewis explores the possibilities and problems of the four basic kinds of human love- affection, friendship, erotic love, and the love of God. “Immensely worthwhile for its simplicity...a rare and memorable book”. - Sydney J. Harris

The book is aimed at presenting the core principles of Christianity — the “mere” or essential truths shared across all denominations — in a logical, thoughtful, and non-denominational way. Divided into four parts, Lewis begins by discussing the concept of right and wrong as a clue to the meaning of the universe. He then explains key Christian beliefs, such as the nature of God, Jesus’ divinity, sin, and redemption. The final sections focus on Christian behavior, morality, virtues, and faith in action. Lewis uses simple language, logical reasoning, and vivid analogies to make Christianity relatable and intellectually satisfying, whether for skeptics, seekers, or believers.

The effectiveness of our prayer depends upon our understanding of the meaning of prayer itself. In Lessons on Prayer Witness Lee first discusses the real meaning of prayer: Prayer is the mutual contact between man and God; prayer is man breathing God, obtaining God, and being obtained by God; and prayer is man cooperating and co-working with God, allowing God to express Himself and His desire through man, and thus accomplish His purpose.

The Book of Lamentations - David R. Slavitt Cover Art

The Book of Lamentations

The Book of Lamentations A Meditation and Translation by David R. Slavitt

This unique translation of the Old Testament book, with reflections on Judaism's mournful history, "not only allows but demands rereading" ( Pleiades ). Distinguished poet David R. Slavitt here provides a translation of and meditation upon the Book of Lamentations, the biblical account of the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 587 B.C., on the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av—Tish'a b'Av. (Six centuries later the Romans destroyed the second Temple on the same day.) Most of the Jewish population was deported to Babylon, and the ensuing period came to be known as the Babylonian Captivity. According to tradition, the Book of Lamentations was written in response to this political, social, and religious crisis. The five poems composing the book express Israel's sorrow, brokenness, and bewilderment before God. Tish'a b'Av is the day on which observant Jews fast and pray. And mourn. As Slavitt observes in his meditation: "It is forbidden on Tish'a b'Av even to study the Torah, except for the Book of Job and the Book of Lamentations. This is the day on which we grieve for every terrible thing that happens in this world. It is the worst day of the year." Slavitt's meditation provides a context for reading the scriptural text. Cast in the same style as the Hebrew poetry, his meditation recounts how sorrow and catastrophe have characterized so much of the history of the Jewish people, from their enslavement in Egypt to the Holocaust of Nazi Germany. Few translations of this remarkable book of the Bible attempt to reproduce in English, as Slavitt does here, the Hebrew acrostics. In the original, each verse begins with a different letter of the Hebrew alphabet in sequential order; Slavitt elegantly reproduces this effect using the first 22 letters of the English alphabet. More than a structural or mnemonic device, Slavitt argues, the acrostics are "a serious assertion that the language itself is speaking, that the speech is inspired, and that there is, beyond all the disaster and pain the book recounts, an intricacy and an orderly coherence."

Falling Upward, Revised and Updated - Richard Rohr & Brené Brown Cover Art

Falling Upward, Revised and Updated

Falling Upward, Revised and Updated A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life by Richard Rohr & Brené Brown

An update to the bestselling Falling Upward from Franciscan Father Richard Rohr In the revised and updated edition of Falling Upward, Richard Rohr seeks to help readers come to terms with the two halves of life. In this book, Rohr teaches us that we can’t understand the meaning of "up" until we have fallen "down." More importantly, Rohr describes what "up" can look like in the second half of life. Most of us tend to think of the second half of life in chronological terms, but this book proposes a different paradigm. Spiritual maturity is found "when we begin to pay attention and seek integrity" through a shift from our "outer task" to the "inner task." What looks like falling down can be experienced as falling upward—and is not necessarily connected with aging. This new edition focuses on practical guidance that you can use to live a life of love and meaning in a world of suffering and challenge. Falling Upward is an invitation to living the gospel and a call to ongoing transformation. Gain a spiritual perspective on the "the common sequencing, staging, and direction of life's arc" and learn how to bring forth your gifts in the second half of life Grapple with difficult feelings, fears, and emotions associated with "great love and great suffering" Learn how we "grow spiritually much more by doing it wrong than by doing it right" Understand why so many of us resist falling into the second half of life Readers of Rohrs previous works and those new to the remarkable teachings of this Franciscan priest will find comfort and inspiration in this guide to lifelong spiritual growth.

Is there credible proof that Jesus of Nazareth really is the Son of God?

In his comprehensive investigation, Strobel doesn't shy away from challenging questions, including: How reliable is the New Testament?Does evidence for Jesus exist outside the Bible?Is Jesus who he said he was?Is there any reason to believe the resurrection was an actual event?What does all of the evidence point to--and what does it mean today? Winner of the Gold Medallion Book Award and twice nominated for the Christian Book of the Year Award, The Case for Christ has been adapted into a major motion picture and has now sold over 5 million copies worldwide.

Praise for The Case for Christ: "Nobody knows how to sift truth from fiction like an experienced investigative reporter, or to argue a case like someone trained at Yale Law School. Lee Strobel brings both qualifications to this remarkable book. In addition to his own tremendous testimony as atheist-turned-Christian, the author marshals the irrefutable depositions of recognized "expert witnesses" to build his ironclad case for Jesus Christ. The Case for Christ sets a new standard among existing contemporary apologetics." --D. James Kennedy, PhD, senior minister, Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church
