Religion Education

This thoughtful book provides cultural analysis, probes some of the most important turning-points of biblical theology, describes the experiences of those who are proving fruitful in contemporary evangelism, and exposes readers to those who are thinking hard both strategically and practically about reaching the postmodern world.

Only he who understands life will be able to take his lessons from life itself. He will draw up no capricious schemes, for he knows that no other fundamental laws of life will prevail in the future than such as prevail in the present. Theosophy will therefore of necessity have respect for the existing state of things. Even, should it still find in what is existent, very much that might be improved, yet it will not fail to perceive in the present the germs of the future. But it knows, too, that for all things nascent there is a growth and a development.

After Whiteness is for anyone who has ever questioned why theological education still matters. It is a call for Christian intellectuals to exchange isolation for intimacy and embrace their place in the crowd - just like the crowd that followed Jesus and experienced his miracles. It is part memoir, part decolonial analysis, and part poetry - a multimodal discourse that deliberately transgresses boundaries, as Jennings hopes theological education will do, too.

Your Story Matters presents a dynamic and spiritually formative process for understanding and redeeming the past in order to live well in the present and into the future. Leslie Leyland Fields has used and taught this practical and inspiring writing process for decades, helping people from all walks of life to access memory and sift through the truth of their stories. This is not just a book for writers. Each one of us has a story, and understanding God's work in our stories is a vital part of our faith.

Considered for many decades to be the most influential priest in America, Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh played what many consider pivotal roles in higher education, the Catholic Church, and national and international affairs. American Priest examines his life and his many and varied engagements - from the university he led for 35 years to his associations with the Vatican and the White House - and evaluates the extent and importance of his legacy.

The Bible is rich with leadership gold. But we haven't mined it for all it's worth. Leaders know a lot about the Bible and a lot about leadership — separately. We haven't yet explored the depths of the Bible as a primary source for leadership insight. This book aims to change that.

What was the starting point of Christianity? Was it in a little town in Bethlehem, just as the lyrics of our favorite Christmas songs contend? In truth, in the earliest days of Christianity, when Peter and Paul first set out to preach the gospel, the belief systems of early Christians were viewed as merely a new sect of Judaism.

R. L. Dabney (1820-1898) - preacher, theologian, soldier, poet, and essayist - strongly condemned the public education of his day. He saw with prophetic insight that State education could not help but be secularized since it was designed to please the people. As a result, he argued, public education would begin to teach its students not truth, but the values and virtues which were palatable to society at large. We must acknowledge that proper education is about heart and soul, not just propositions and facts. Only then will children learn truth and be equipped to live out our faith.

This work is a beginner's guide to the amazing labyrinth of the words of Isaiah. This work does not claim to be a "Isaiah for Dummies" kind of book. It teaches you how to search Isaiah's words for yourself using simple literary tools, and empowers you to comprehend the most important prophecy for our time by letting it speak for itself in ways hitherto unrealized.

Exactly what has public education been trying to accomplish? Before the 1830s and Horace Mann, no schools in the US were state-supported or state-controlled. They were local, parent-teacher enterprises, supported without taxes, and taking care of all children. They were remarkably high in standard and were Christian. From Mann to the present, the state has used education to socialize the child. Public education became the means of creating a social order of the educators' design. Such men saw themselves and the school in messianic terms.

Each of us struggles with the existential questions of meaning, purpose, and responsibility. In The Meaning of Life, the Dalai Lama examines these questions from the Buddhist perspective, skillfully guiding us to a clearer understanding which can liberate us from the prison of selfishness and suffering. Also from the Dalai Lama:
The Art of Happiness.

You know something is wrong. The paradigm you live in is unjust, rigged against those without money, and completely unsustainable from both an economic and ecosystemic standpoint. Maybe you already know what’s going on, but don’t have the time or resources to bring others up to speed. Refer them to this book.

In The Spirit of Our Work, Dr. Cynthia Dillard centers the spiritual lives of Black women educators and their students, arguing that spirituality has guided Black people throughout the diaspora. She demonstrates how Black women teachers and teacher educators can heal, resist, and (re)member their identities in ways that are empowering for them and their students. Dillard emphasizes that any discussion of Black teachers’ lives and work cannot be limited to truncated identities as enslaved persons in the Americas.

Rebekah Merkle knows which high school classes you like and which you roll your eyes at, which books you enjoy and which you kinda skim. That's because she went through this whole thing called classical education, too: She was a guinea pig in one of the very first classical Christian schools in the country.

Hideo Yonezawa (1909-1991) was a physician who lectured and wrote extensively on Shin Buddhism from a layperson’s perspective. His thoughts are made available to English speakers for the first time in Marvin Harada’s translation of Awaken to Your True Self.

Freedom. We all want it, expect it, and demand it. On the outside, you may be free to travel where, when, and with whom you want, but inside, you feel trapped in an emotional jail of depression, anger, anxiety, or fear. You may feel chained to past wounds, recurring negative thoughts, or relationships that keep you stuck and inhibit that sense of freedom you crave. While in your head, you believe that Christ brings freedom and that a relationship with God is the answer, you struggle to align your emotions with this truth.

We are going to get to know these 12 men that followed Jesus, who eventually built the Church, who turned the world upside down and died for their faith. Who were these 12? What was so special about these that Jesus would choose them? What kind of character, qualities, or talents did these have to be able to walk the earth with the Son of God for over three years?

Acaso estamos buscando a Dios todo el tiempo? ¿Lo llegamos a encontrar en algún momento de nuestras vidas? En todo lugar y en cada instante se encuentra Él, quien mandó a su hijo para que porte el pecado del mundo. Gracias a este libro, seremos capaces de apreciar la cercanía de Dios con el hombre por medio de instrumentos divinos que permitieron su comunicación, así como darnos cuenta del entorno cada vez más moderno y superficial que nos rodea, para que evitemos las acciones que nos alejan de la presencia del Señor.

In this book we explore pre-flood history along with ancient Hebrew history and biblical history that proves our creator truly has granted us inalienable rights which must be guarded.
