Reframing your perspective can transform your life. We often face circumstances that we cannot change - a job we are forced to keep, a relationship that did not work out, a decision we cannot take back. The stress of life can overwhelm us, and we may not see past the obstacles in our path. In the face of unwanted challenges, we may despair over our lack of control and long for an easier way out. Laurie Short offers a simple but revolutionary idea: Change nothing that is around you yet still change everything about your life.

There can be no doubt that as a matter of fact a religious life, exclusively pursued, does tend to make the person exceptional and eccentric. I speak not now of your ordinary religious believer, who follows the conventional observances of his country, whether it be Buddhist, Christian, or Mohammedan. His religion has been made for him by others, communicated to him by tradition, determined to fixed forms by imitation, and retained by habit. It would profit us little to study this second-hand religious life.

A seductive spirit is after your soul—and most people never see it coming. The Jezebel spirit is not just a character from the Bible—it's a real, seducing force at work today, manipulating emotions, hijacking relationships, and destroying destinies. It’s not about gender—it’s about control, witchcraft, and bondage. Victims describe losing clarity, emotional control, even spiritual direction under its bewitching influence. Whether through sexual relationships or emotional entanglements, soul ties are formed—unseen chains that connect you to past lovers, manipulators, or spiritual...

In Born to Wonder, Alister McGrath, a prolific Oxford scholar, scientist, and theologian, explores the deepest mystery at the heart of life itself.

What does our Catholic faith teach us about eating well? Some of us eat too much food. Or we eat too little. Often, we eat without gratitude, without charity, without respect. But, as award-winning author and food-blogger Emily Stimpson Chapman explains in The Catholic Table, with a sacramental worldview, the supernatural gift of God's grace can transform and heal us through the food we make, eat, and share.

Andrew Murray (1828-1917) was a South African Christian pastor and an internationally known author of numerous Christian books. This enduring classic, published in 1896, was written to assist believers to pray in the right way. The book is based on the way that Christ taught his disciples to pray, and the style is simple and engaging. The chapters are titled, "The Model Prayer", "Pray to Thy Father in Secret", "In Spirit and in Truth or The True Worshippers", and "The Only Teacher".

The “modern Jesus” of progressives—supposedly friendlier and more accepting than the Savior we know from the Gospels—is gaining popularity and acceptance among self-identified Christians. But they don’t realize that progressive Christianity rejects the biblical revelation of Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh. Hijacking Jesus addresses perennial questions about the nature of Christ and his teaching, testing the historical and theological accuracy of progressive Christians.

Healing the Gospel challenges the assumption that the Christian understanding of justice is rooted in a demand for violent punishment, and instead offers a radically different understanding of the gospel based on God's restorative justice. Connecting our own experiences of faith with the New Testament narrative, author Derek Flood shows us an understanding of the cross that not only reveals God's heart of grace, but also models our own way of Christ-like love.

C. T. Studd was one of the Cambridge Seven in the 1800s. These men dedicated their lives to Christian missions work. This bold treatise by Studd encourages Christians to be bold in sharing their faith - to contain inner granite rather than melting chocolate. This is an impassioned look at taking faith seriously in a time when comfort was sought with greater enthusiasm.

"UN LIBRO ÚNICO EN SU GÉNERO" El Cumplimiento de las Promesas de Dios es producto de más de 30 años de estudio e investigación sobre el tema, y 25 años de enseñanza sobre Teología del Pacto a nivel seminario y postgrado. El libro pretende explicar la teología del pacto partiendo desde la Confesión de Fe de Westminster como punto de partida para las discusiones y como base para evaluar otros puntos de vista. Algunas variaciones de la teología del pacto son menores y no afectan al sistema doctrinal de la teología protestante, pero otras variaciones son mayores y afectan a ...

This exceptional work was published anonymously in 1882, although it has been possible to prove its authorship in the pen of the nineteenth-century Freemason Robert Hewitt Brown. The book is part of the Anglo-Saxon Masonic literary tradition of the 19th century that combined interest in the more mystical spirituality of Freemasonry with the rigor and scientific methodology of the time. In this commendable essay we can see in a fascinating way how the author tries to explain in the ritual of fraternity, ultimate and initiatory truths compatible with the truth of all times and scientific ...

What is the relationship between charity and knowledge in the theology of Thomas Aquinas? Did Aquinas in his mature thought portray charity's act as antecedent to and independent of practical reasoning? Did he view charity's motion as rendering us morally good before God, apart from whether or not we do what is right in our actions? A dominant stream in contemporary Catholic ethics holds for precisely such a concept of charity, and many recent commentators on Aquinas maintain that this is his position as well.

Letters to the Seven Churches by Jeff Culver isn’t just another commentary on the book of Revelation—it’s a deep, revealing journey into the cultural and historical world behind the text. With clarity and depth, Jeff Culver takes readers beyond the surface, unpacking how Jesus’s words to each of the seven churches were tailored specifically to the cities' reputations, customs, and even their monuments. This is the book that finally answers, “Why did He say that to them?” by reconnecting modern readers to the first-century world that originally heard the message. Rather than ...

When floods rage, fires consume, and storms shake the very ground we stand on, one question echoes through the chaos: Where is God? This timely and compassionate book was born from a heartfelt sermon and inspired by real tragedies—floods in Texas that claimed young lives and wildfires in Maui that devastated communities. Through biblical reflection, personal experience, and pastoral insight, Pastor John E. Miller guides readers through the emotional and spiritual wreckage that disasters leave behind. Rooted in Wesleyan theology and anchored in Scripture, this book offers a path forward ...

Fazlur Rahman was one of the great 20th-century Muslim modernists, whose prolific writing and sheer number of students who make up a who’s who of Islamic studies throughout North America reveal the impact that he has had on both academe and on Muslim communities throughout the world. The modernist approach is contrasted with the radical approach of Mawlana Mawdudi of Pakistan.

James Hillman is a psychologist and author of The Soul's Code, recently at the top of the New York Times bestseller list. His essay "Going Bugs" is a classic exposition of the meaning of bugs in the human psyche. Hillman examines the role that bugs - insects and creepy-crawlies - play in dreams and how human reaction to them is symptomatic of larger concerns about animals and the natural world.

TODO LO QUE HAY EN DIOS ES DIOS MISMO Sin que muchos lo sepan, un número cada vez mayor de evangélicos conservadores niega los principios fundamentales de la enseñanza cristiana clásica sobre Dios, con graves desviaciones incluso entre los teólogos de la persuasión calvinista y reformada. El libro de James E. Dolezal Todo lo que hay en Dios ofrece una exposición de la posición cristiana histórica al tiempo que se enfrenta a estas graves desviaciones contemporáneas. Su convincente crítica de la nueva posición que él denomina mutualismo teísta es filosóficamente sólida, ...

The atonement of Jesus Christ is the most important event ever to occur upon this earth. It is the keystone of all Christian religions and yet continues to be shrouded in mystery. It has remained a paradox, an unsolvable conundrum...until now. In this book the author parts the veil of mystery, and, perhaps for the first time, presents answers to the most profound questions concerning the atonement: - Why was the atonement of Christ necessary? Where did the atonement actually occur? - What exactly happened to Christ during the atonement? Why did Christ shed his blood? - How does the ...
