It's the first and greatest command - the most important thing. But even if we want to love God that way, most of us don't. Are we doomed? Absolutely not. Drawing from psychology, Shakespeare, loads of Scripture, and her personal experience falling in love at 13 (and staying in love for 26 years), Gerhardt makes a story-rich case for a surefire way to fall in love and stay in love with God. Inspiring, warm, genuine, and practical, Look to Love is both convincing and comforting. This isn’t a book to shame you into reading your Bible. It’s an invitation and a help.

God has many ways of teaching us. Jesus taught by example. Men looked at how he lived, and decided to walk that way also. He also taught by precept, speaking directly to people, in a way we might call teaching today. But his favorite way of teaching was through the use of the parable. He loved to tell stories—stories with spiritual meanings. "In the fall of 1987," Jamie said, "I visited Israel with a camera crew. We had obtained permission from the Israeli government to set up cameras at ten of the sites where Jesus told his best-known parables.

Prostitution, incest, drunkenness at the Lord's table, sectarianism, and babble all were problems in Paul's rag-tag startup church in Corinth.

In Death, the End of History, and Beyond, Greg Carey offers resources for understanding multiple, even conflicting, ways that the Bible imagines these ultimate realities.

Read how God has revealed himself to this person and the message is for everyone to hear. You will read about where we actually get created and what becomes of each and every one of us, as well as what the Bible says is going to happen to the earth. This book will be hard to put away. You will sense the Holy Spirit in the writing but from one down-to- earth man. Sensitive to a world that has both believers and non-believers where scientists are constantly commenting on TV about how the earth is made and the universe.

Only you can awaken from this Masonic-induced hypnosis that we have been under, and become aware that you have been an unconscious member of the "captivated audience."

Imagine if someone who had never heard of Judaism or Christianity read the Old Testament. How could the relationship between God and humanity possibly be understood? In Joseph's Bones, Segal approaches the Bible from this fresh perspective—one framed by the story of the Israelites' fidelity to Joseph—and finds something an account of the human condition that reads like an existential novel about the struggle of mankind against the unpredictable and often unwarranted wrath of God. This is a rarity in Biblical interpretation—brilliant and rigorously argued, "a work of stunning originality."

Blending memoir, spirituality, and travel, Near the Exit examines how cultures confront and have confronted death by investigating Egypt's Valley of the Kings, Mayan temples, Colorado cremation pyres, Day of the Dead celebrations, Maori settlements, and tourist-destination graveyards.
