Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Harold B. Lee by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints 4.7 Stars (58 Reviews)    Price verified 36 minutes ago

Harold B. Lee, eleventh President of the Church and an Apostle for over three decades, bore humble witness from a full heart "that God lives, that Jesus is the Redeemer of the world." With conviction born of years of service he said, "My humble prayer is that all men everywhere may understand more fully the significance of the atonement of the Savior of all mankind, who has given us the plan of salvation which will lead us into eternal life, where God and Christ dwell." The journey home to our Father in Heaven was a central focus of President Lee's teachings to the members of the Church. He exhorted each of Heavenly Father's children to "gain for himself that unshakable testimony which will place his feet firmly on the pathway which leads surely toward the glorious goal of immortality and eternal life." "The most important message that I can give to you and to all the world is to keep the commandments of God," said President Lee, "for thereby you can qualify yourselves to receive divine guidance while you live here on the earth, and in the world that lies ahead be prepared to meet your Redeemer, and to gain your exaltation in the presence of the Father and the Son." The First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles have established the series Teachings of Presidents of the Church to help Church members deepen their understanding of gospel doctrines and draw closer to Jesus Christ through the teachings of the prophets in this dispensation. This book features the teachings of President Harold B. Lee, who said: "The laws of God given to mankind are embodied in the gospel plan, and the Church of Jesus Christ is made responsible for teaching these laws to the world." "Let there be burned into your souls those lessons that shall keep you always with your eye fixed upon the eternal goal, so that you won't fail in life's mission, so that, whether your life be short or long, you shall be prepared when the day comes to go into the presence of Him whose name you ...

Jātaka Tales: Volume 4: Folk Tales of the Buddha's Previous Lives (Jataka Tales) by Eric Van Horn (Smashwords) 4.1 Stars (14 Reviews)    Price verified 31 minutes ago

The J?taka Tales are the Buddhist equivalent of Aesop's Fables. They are morality stories. In the Buddhist cultures of that time, these were the stories that children grew up hearing. They were the popular entertainment of their time. Families would gather together in the evening after the day's work was done and share these tales. And it is from these stories that people learned about the standards of conduct for followers of the Buddha. Like Aesop's Fables, the main characters in these stories can be a king, a merchant, a craftsperson, or an animal. This collection contains stories 151-200 of the 547 total stories. There are a number of stories about friendship. J?taka 157 tells the story of a jackal and a lion whose families stay friends for generations. J?taka 162 tells the story of both good and bad friendship, with the good friendship coming between a black deer, a leopard, a lion, and a tiger. J?taka 190 tells a story of both friendship and deep faith. J?takas 173 - 176 have mischievous monkeys at the heart of the story, but in J?taka 177 a monkey is finally the hero. A monkey named "Senaka" saves his entire tribe by quick thinking. In other J?takas we have tree fairies, elephants, and even people (!). In one story a man is rumored to have become a monk. This inspires him to actually become a monk. In all, these stories represent the breadth of human experience. What we see is that in 2500 years, the spectrum of experiences has not changed at all.

Mishpachah: The Jewish Family in Tradition and in Transition (Studies in Jewish Civilization Book 27) by Leonard J. Greenspoon (Purdue University Press) Price verified 10 hours ago

Dictionary definitions of the term mishpachah are seemingly straightforward: "A Jewish family or social unit including close and distant relatives-sometimes also close friends." As accurate as such definitions are, they fail to capture the diversity and vitality of real, flesh-and-blood Jewish families. Families have been part of Jewish life for as long as there have been Jews. It is useful to recall that the family is the basic narrative building block of the stories in the biblical book of Genesis, which can be interpreted in the light of ancient literary traditions, archaeological discoveries, and rabbinic exegesis. Rabbinic literature also is filled with discussions about interactions, rancorous as well as amicable, between parents and among siblings. Sometimes harmony characterizes relations between the parent and the child; as often, alas, there is conflict. The rabbis, always aware of the realities of life, chide and advise as best they can. For the modern period, the changing roles of males and females in society at large have contributed to differing expectations as to their roles within the family. The relative increase in the number of adopted children, from both Jewish and non-Jewish backgrounds, and more recently, the shifting reality of assisted reproductive technologies and the possibility of cloning human embryos, all raise significant moral and theological questions that require serious consideration. Through the studies brought together in this volume, more than a dozen scholars look at the Jewish family in wide variety of social, historical, religious, and geographical contexts. In the process, they explore both diverse and common features in the past and present, and they chart possible courses for Jewish families in the future.

olam he-zeh v'olam ha-ba: This World and the World to Come in Jewish Belief and Practice (Studies in Jewish Civilization Book 28) by Leonard J. Greenspoon Price verified 12 hours ago

Dining on Leviathan. Discoursing with Socrates. Debating the nature of existence in the afterlife. These are among the topics authors address in this wide-ranging account of how Jews have conceptualized the world to come and structured their lives in this world accordingly. Some authorities portrayed the afterlife as an endless round of feasting and drinking of chazerie that would put the fanciest Las Vegas buffets to shame. There were visionaries who mapped out otherworldly climes populated by monstrous creatures. Others, decidedly more staid, saw the world to come as a location where neither food nor wine would be consumed; instead, it would offer the opportunity to bring moral certitude to questionable practices that could not be eradicated in this world. More down to earth are comparisons between Rabbi Akiva and Socrates, and analyses of influential thinkers like Moses Mendelssohn and Emmanuel Levinas. And more practical are discussions of how concepts of the afterlife serve to determine mourning practices, or more broadly, how humans should fashion their lives in the here and now. The chronological range of these chapters also is impressive. The earliest documents discussed are from Apocryphal literature, including apocalypses, that were composed from 400 BCE to 200 CE. There are creative analyses of rabbinic material and documents from the medieval period through the twentieth century. Evolving ritual and liturgical practices bring readers up to the early twenty-first century. Each of the thirteen authors whose works are brought together in this volume shows historical, cultural, and religious sensitivity both to the unique features of these differing manifestations and to the elements that unite them. For the readers of this volume, which is equally rewarding for general audiences and for specialists, the result is a carefully nuanced, creatively balanced exploration of the breadth of Jewish thought and practice concerning some of the most profound and ...

Next Year in Jerusalem: Exile and Return in Jewish History (Studies in Jewish Civilization Book 30) by Leonard J. Greenspoon Price verified 10 hours ago

Next Year in Jerusalem recognizes that Jews have often experienced or imaged periods of exile and return in their long tradition. The fourteen papers in this collection examine this phenomenon from different approaches, genres, and media. They cover the period from biblical times through today. Among the exiles highlighted are the Babylonian Exile (sixth century BCE), the exile after the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple (70 CE), and the years after the Crusaders (tenth century CE). Events of return include the aftermath of the Babylonian Exile (fifth century BCE), the centuries after the Temple's destruction (first and second CE), and the years of the establishment of the modern State of Israel (1948 CE). In each instance authors pay close attention to the historical settings, the literature created by Jews and others, and the theological explanations offered (typically, this was seen as divine punishment or reward for Israel's behavior). The entire volume is written authoritatively and accessibly.

Wealth and Poverty in Jewish Tradition (Studies in Jewish Civilization Book 26) by Leonard J. Greenspoon (Purdue University Press) Price verified 11 hours ago

Economic inequity is an issue of worldwide concern in the twenty-first century. Although these issues have not troubled all people at all times, they are nonetheless not new. Thus, it is not surprising that Judaism has developed many perspectives, theoretical and practical, to explain and ameliorate the circumstances that produce serious economic disparity. This volume offers an accessible collection of articles that deal comprehensively with this phenomenon from a variety of approaches and perspectives. Within this framework, the fourteen authors who contributed to Wealth and Poverty in Jewish Tradition bring a formidable array of experience and insight to uncover interconnected threads of conversation and activities that characterize Jewish thought and action. Among the questions raised, for which there are frequently multiple responses: Is the giving of tzedakah (generally, although imprecisely, translated as charity) a command or an impulse? Does the Jewish tradition give priority to the donor or to the recipient? To what degree is charity a communal responsibility? Is there something inherently ennobling or, conversely, debasing about being poor? How have basic concepts about wealth and poverty evolved from biblical through rabbinic and medieval sources until the modern period? What are some specific historical events that demonstrate either marked success or bitter failure? And finally, are there some relevant concepts and practices that are distinctively, if not uniquely, Jewish? It is a singular strength of this collection that appropriate attention is given, in a style that is both accessible and authoritative, to the vast and multiform conversations that are recorded in the Talmud and other foundational documents of rabbinic Judaism. Moreover, perceptive analysis is not limited to the past, but also helps us to comprehend circumstances among todays Jews. It is equally valuable that these authors are attuned to the differences between aspirations and ...

Is Judaism Democratic?: Reflections from Theory and Practice Throughout the Ages (Studies in Jewish Civilization Book 29) by Leonard J. Greenspoon (Purdue University Press) 3.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 11 hours ago

As government by the people, democracy has always had its proponents as well as opponents. What forms of government have Jewish leaders, both with and without actual political power, favored? Not surprisingly, many options have been offered theoretically and in practice. Perhaps more surprisingly, democracy has been at the heart of most systems of governance. Biblical Israel was largely a monarchy, but many writers of the Bible were critical of the excesses that almost always arise when human kings take charge: the general populace loses its freedom. In rabbinic Judaism, the majority ruled, and many principles that support modern democratic institutions have their basis in interpretations offered by the classical rabbis. This is true even though rabbinic Jews did not govern democratically. When Jews did have some degree of self-governance, democratic principles and institutions were often upheld. At the same time, so most communal leaders insisted, God-the ultimate judge-ultimately judges everything and everyone. Modern Israel provides the first instance of an independent Jewish nation since the Hasmonean monarchy of the second and first centuries BCE. On an almost daily basis, common features uniting democracy and Judaism, as well as flash point of controversy, are highlighted there. The fourteen scholars whose work is collected here are mindful of all of these circumstances-and many more. In a style that is accessible, clear, and balanced, they allow readers to assess these issues based on the most current thinking. This volume is required reading for anyone interested in how religion and politics have interacted, and continue to interact, in Judaism and among Jews.

Who Is A Jew?: Reflections on History, Religion, and Culture (Studies in Jewish Civilization Book 25) by Leonard J. Greenspoon (Purdue University Press) 2.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 9 hours ago

Jewish identity is a perennial concern, as Jews seek to define the major features and status of those who "belong," while at the same time draw distinctions between individuals and groups on the "inside" and those on the "outside." From a variety of perspectives, scholarly as well as confessional, there is intense interest among non-Jewish and Jewish commentators alike in the basic question, "Who is a Jew?" This collection of articles draws diverse historical, cultural, and religious insights from scholars who represent a wide range of academic and theological disciplines. Some of the authors directly address the issue of Jewish identity as it is being played out today in Israel and Diaspora communities. Others look to earlier time periods or societies as invaluable resources for enhanced and deepened analysis of contemporary matters. All authors in this collection make a concerted effort to present their evidence and their conclusions in a way that is accessible to the general public and valid for other scholars. The result is a richly textured approach to a topic that seems always relevant. If, as is the case, no single answer appeals to all of the authors, this is as it should be. We all gain from the application of a number of approaches and perspectives, which enrich our appreciation of the people whose lives are affected, for better or worse, by real-life discussions of this issue and the resultant actions toward exclusivity or inclusivity.

The Meaning of Life by Vimal Sehgal B.Tech. IIT Delhi 4.1 Stars (48 Reviews)    Price verified 10 hours ago

Love is divine and Divinity is love personified. The author explains that divine love is the meaning of life and shows the reader how everyone can attain peace, love, immortality and happiness by the easy method of mantra meditation. The book elaborately describes love as the ultimate reality, love is divine, reincarnation and its significance, immortality and bliss, law of karma, mind and meditation, bhakti yoga and the art of dying. The book also presents a synthesis of science and religion by explaining the fundamentals of life and consciousness and by giving the characteristics of life and matter. Included are some fascinating tales from ancient Vedic scriptures which illustrate the philosophy with the medium of real life drama. Love is the highest value. From our experience we can surmise that the feeling of love is the most pleasing and gives us ecstasy and pleasure. The feeling of love is cherished by all and the exchange of feelings of love is remembered fondly within our hearts. Love nourishes us and really love is our life. Without love life is meaningless. Indeed the meaning of life is love. Our present education system does not teach students the meaning of life. The tragedy of life is that, consequently, a person may go through life without ever knowing the meaning of life or why he came to this world in the first place. Topics covered include: ?The Meaning of Life ?Love is divine ?Immortality and bliss ?Meditation and bhakti yoga ?Reincarnation and its significance ?Laws of karma ?Proof of God's existence + Location of soul ?Life is but a dream ?The art of dying About the author: The author is a disciple of the late Swami Mangal Maharaj, secretary Shri Chaitanya Gaudiya Ashram in India.

Like Aesop's Fables, the main characters in these stories can be a king, a merchant, a craftsperson, or an animal. This collection contains stories 101-150 of the 547 total stories. J?taka 124 tells a lovely story a monk whose selflessness leads to prosperity for his monastery, and in the past how he devoted himself tirelessly to providing water for animals during a drought. J?taka 105 shows a tree fairy who calms an elephant's fears. J?taka 107 is a funny story about a priest who makes his king crazy by talking too much, and how the king enlists the help of a cripple who is deadly accurate with a pea shooter to cure him! There are a number of stories about monks behaving badly. To a Westerner this may sound strange. But in a Buddhist culture there are bound to be people who ordain as monks - often with good intentions - but who find the monastic life too challenging. J?taka 146 tells the story of three older men who find a pretty cushy way to live as monks. In all these stories represent the breadth the human experience. What we see is that in 2500 years, the spectrum of humanity has not changed at all.

According to the Quran, a person's life has been divided into two phases: the pre-death period and the post-death period. The present life is only temporary and is meant as a test. Depending upon our performance in this test, we shall be judged in the eternal life after death. The Quran aims to make one aware of this reality and help one lead one's life in this world in such a way that one is rewarded with Paradise in the life Hereafter.

Thin Black Road There's a thin black road I have traveled many times. It leads to peace In so many ways. It's kind of hard to describe For the road's oft unclear. It unfolds to me Like a lovely gift One word at a time. Then, music fills in the gaps, Making worries fade away, As unexplainable peace pours in. There's a thin black road It leads me to peace. When good or ill tidings come To threaten my equilibrium, I will travel that road And return to peaceful calm. *** This is the first inspirational Christian poetry collection. It's followed by Just Like You and My Champion. The combination book, Made to Praise, contains all three collections.

Paul and Diversity: A New Perspective on Σάρξ and Resilience in Galatians (Routledge Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Biblical Criticism) by Linda Joelsson (Routledge) 5.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 28 minutes ago

This book investigates attitudes toward diversity as expressed in Paul's letter to the Galatians and proposes a renewed understanding of the term ???? as used in this letter. ???? (sarx) is usually translated as "flesh" and has often been perceived in theological studies as a complicated and highly polysemous term. It is also a word whose interpretations have had far-reaching social, political, and religious consequences throughout history. The author argues in this volume that for Paul the term ???? is commonly adopted with reference to the collective group, and in light of a sense of collective identity in particular. A key assertion is that Paul was and remained a Jew and also continued to be deeply concerned with the prospects for the peaceful co-existence of Jews and Gentiles in the assemblies of God. The chapters draw on perspectives from classical rhetoric, modern linguistics, and social systems theory in order to describe the communicative structure of the letter, the construct of collective identity as described within this setting, and the potential for resilience in this construct. Offering a more coherent reading of Galatians, the book contributes positively to current discussions in Pauline studies and will be of interest to scholars of biblical studies and theology.

When Liberty Watkins delivers flowers to the local auto shop owned by the Truax boys, who does she run into? Blade Truax. She hasn't seen Blade in years, mainly because he's been in prison serving a sentence based solely on the testimony of Libby's sister, Mariam. Yes, Libby and Blade have history. In fact, that summer, right before he'd been charged with sexually assaulting her sister, Libby and Blade had been meeting secretly almost every day. And Libby had felt something for him -- something major. She thought he'd felt it too. Was that why she still questioned her sister's testimony, because she wanted so badly to believe in Blade? Or was it something else? Blade doesn't trust women anymore, for obvious reasons, but he particularly doesn't trust women with the last name Watkins. So, when Libby Watkins shows up at his family business, he isn't happy. How dare she stand there pretending there had been nothing between them. Did she even remember that it was her he'd been waiting to meet that fateful night when his entire life went down the toilet? They should not be together. There is way too much pain down that road for any kind of redemption. But it looks like fate has other plans when, despite Blade's objections, Libby is hired to be the auto shop's new office assistant.

The Dividing: The Adamic Trilogy: Book 1 by Devin Downing 4.4 Stars (1,132 Review)    Price verified 21 minutes ago

Brandon Sanderson meets The Hunger Games in this dystopian fantasy of epic proportions. Inspired by biblical theology, The Dividing will pull you into a world of magic, monsters, and mystery! Adamic is the language of the Gods. When spoken, it has the power to create worlds, to raise the dead, to make man as God. Fortunately, no one has spoken it in thousands of years. The only remnants are the written spells. The people of Cavernum depend on these spells. They're etched into the city walls, fending off the feeders -- deadly creatures with a thirst for human blood. Yet for the lower class, Cavernum isn't much safer. Children starve, and illness runs rampant. Only the elite have access to magic, and status must be earned. One's class is determined by a single competition: The Dividing. Those who excel join the guild of their choice. The rest are sent to the fields, condemned to a life of slave-labor. Princess Roselyn Malik has trained her entire life for The Dividing. She's guaranteed a spot in the royal orchestra, but equalist rebels threaten her throne. To secure her crown, Rose must acquire the power and prestige associated with the guard. Only guardsmen have access to the amulets -- powerful weapons that grant dominion over the elements. Meanwhile, in Colorado, Matt will do anything to help his terminally-ill adoptive mother. For now, that means poaching to pay the bills. Until one day, Matt is attacked by a feeder and plunged into the world of Cavernum. There too, Matt is drawn to the guard, in search of a magic strong enough to save his mother. But danger lurks beyond the walls, and Cavernum won't be safe for long.

When The Storms Come...you can take it: Coping...one day at a time (One Day at a Time Devotional Series) by Val Waldeck 4.3 Stars (69 Reviews)    Price verified 10 hours ago

"When The Storms Come" is based on the Old Testament book of Job. It takes you through the high - and low - points in his life. Walk with Job and hs family and learn how to "take" trials in the power and strength of the Lord. This is a book that will move your heart and help you to rejoice in the midst of your pain. You will be blessed as you share these insights from Job's life and apply them to your own situation. What Others Have Said About This Book: A powerful spiritual guide to overcoming and healing emotional, physical, and professional crises. The book's title is immediately compelling. Evoking the specter of the dark clouds of loss and dramatic changes, the title addresses our fear of surviving the unknown and it extends a promise to us that we can indeed cope -- and survive with hope and comfort. Our trust in the author's intent is instantaneous. Her affirmation of God's love for each member of His human race suffuses her words with continuous affirmation and encouragement. Throughout the book, she speaks in plain English of Job's losses, and her voice speaks so personally to us that we often find ourselves saying, "Yes, that's exactly how I feel." Thus, the healing begins, the aching subsides, and the grief diminishes as she reveals God's ever-present partnership in our recovery. The author structures her book so that her readers can parallel their losses with Job's successive losses. In the same way, the author explores our own sudden losses -- because life, for all of us, changes continuously, sometimes happily but often seemingly tragically. Loss, we learn, is inevitable, and therefore the author teaches us to remember and to recognize God's extended hand, ready to help us survive depression, pain, and sadness. He is ready to help us begin the healing process. The author's approach is never to overwhelm us or condemn us for our human failings of faith. Instead, her chapters are succinct, clearly written explanations and ...

The Observing One by Ahmed Hulusi 4.4 Stars (53 Reviews)    Price verified 11 hours ago

It is an overwhelming experience of perfection and beauty to witness the "oneness", i.e., the "reality", perceived as intuition or "revelation" by those in the past and relayed through allegories and metaphors, arriving at the same truth with scientific findings.. As exquisitely and descriptively as one may talk about "What beauty is", ultimately its meaning can be as diverse and numerous as its admirers. Yet no matter how infinitely various its expressions and experience may be, the concept of beauty will always remain one. In a much similar way, although God can be defined in as many different ways as His manifestations, by essence He is One. It is this Oneness, expressed in diverse ways, hence bringing about the seeming multiplicities, that is denoted by the title The Observing One. In other words, the Observing One is the essence of all the multitudinous manifestations in the corporeal world, and His infinitely various expressions is His act of observing Himself. This act of observing, according to Ahmed Hulusi, is what each individual should strive to experience. That is, to experience God, one must realize the illusionary nature of the constructed self and disable its interference, thereby becoming a conduit of God's interminable acts. Ahmed Hulusi profoundly deconstructs both the idea of a God up in the heavens, and His representative deities on earth, and urges his readers to embark on an inward quest to discover "God within". Compiled mostly of recorded conversations made in 1989, this book is a notable example of the author's ingenious and unconventional construal of classical religious teachings. Anyone, who has a spiritual yearning and an appetite for mysticism and who at the same time is an unfaltering intellectualist, is bound to enjoy reading this book. Integrating Islamic theology, in particular the esoteric teachings of Sufism, with the findings of modern science, this book enables the reader to observe the universe within. A few things the ...

Clerics of the Light - Alpha Team: Radical Christian Adventure, Book 1 (The Revival Team Series) by Deakon Reeves 4.7 Stars (39 Reviews)    Price verified 31 minutes ago

What is more devastating than an EMP blast? More destructive than a Super Volcano? Or more debilitating than an all-out Cyber Attack... and even Biological Warfare? No apocalyptic event killed America. It was more Malignant - and all around us before we cared to notice. This is Book One in the Revival Team Series where we meet Alpha Team: The Clerics ofthe Light. A corrupt conman and false prophet has taken over a church in Little Rock, Arkansas. His only aim is to line his pockets and revel in his sense of power. He's a master of deception, but not afraid to use his personal security force (who he calls 'Ushers') in order to keep the people in line... while keeping them spending their money. And should any outsiders interfere, there's always the local band of thugs to be hired, pillagers who roam the countryside, living and feeding however they may. The Clerics of the Light run across this debauchery but not by chance. God, in His providence, has assigned them. But assignments can be dangerous... especially in these depraved wastelands of fallen America. Powers will be tumbled and new powers will arise. Alliances will form and accords broken. But can America ever be truly revived? Series Description: Decades of Moral Decay. 'Unchecked.' 'Unfettered.' An erosion of common decency. Until finally... it was too late. Feigning freedoms.

Scriptures, Shrines, Scapegoats, and World Politics: Religious Sources of Conflict and Cooperation in the Modern Era by Zeev Maoz (University of Michigan Press) 4.0 Stars (1 Review)    Price verified 10 hours ago

The effect of religious factors on politics has been a key issue since the end of the Cold War and the subsequent rise of religious terrorism. However, the systematic investigations of these topics have focused primarily on the effects of religion on domestic and international conflict. Scriptures, Shrines, Scapegoats, and World Politics offers a comprehensive evaluation of the role of religion in international relations, broadening the scope of investigation to such topics as the relationship between religion and cooperation, religion and conflict, and the relationship between religion and the quality of life. Religion is often manipulated by political elites to advance their principal goal of political survival. Zeev Maoz and Errol A. Henderson find that no specific religion is either consistently more bellicose or consistently more cooperative than other religions. However, religious similarity between states tends to reduce the propensity of conflict and increase the opportunity for security cooperation. The authors find a significant relationship between secularism and human security.

"I want to go to Heaven. There must be something I can do to get there. Just name it." So ran the conversation between Jesus and the young politician. And so concurs the thoughts of seekers today. But what if -- in spite of your sincerity -- there is one thing standing in your way? Jesus told the young ruler there was. Throughout Jesus' ministry, He helped many confront the "one thing" standing between them and God. A respected religious teacher. A common woman. A blind outcast. Although it would seem they lived worlds apart, they all had one thing in common -- the fact that there was one thing standing between them and God. One decision. One choice. One roadblock. One thing. Will you confront it?

Palimpsests of Themselves: Logic and Commentary in Postclassical Muslim South Asia (Berkeley Series in Postclassical Islamic Scholarship Book 5) by Asad Q. Ahmed (University of California Press) 4.0 Stars (2 Reviews)    Price verified 2 hours ago

A free open access ebook is available upon publication. Learn more at www.luminosoa.org. Palimpsests of Themselves is an intervention in current discussions about the fate of philosophy in postclassical Islamic intellectual history. Asad Q. Ahmed uses as a case study the most advanced logic textbook of Muslim South Asia, The Ladder of the Sciences, presenting in English its first full translation and extended commentary. He offers detailed assessments of the technical contributions of the work, explores the social and institutional settings of the vast commentarial response it elicited, and develops a theory of the philosophical commentary that is internal to the tradition. These approaches to the commentarial text complicate presuppositions upon which questions of Islam's intellectual decline are erected. As such, Ahmed offers a unique and powerful opportunity to understand the transmission of knowledge across the Islamic world.

Our Eternal Relationship: 10 Contemplations for a Connected Life by Joseph V. McCarthy (Vivid Publishing) 4.3 Stars (6 Reviews)    Price verified 36 minutes ago

Many years ago, Joseph V. McCarthy dreamed a revelation that shattered his world-view and altered his life direction forever. After nine years as a correctional officer in the prison system, Joe left for a monastic life at Tarrawarra Abbey in Victoria, Australia. He lived as a monk for six years, immersed in a life of spiritual contemplation. During this time, he was introduced to "A Course in Miracles". It's message of divinity as a tangible force in the world prompted Joe to reflect on its presence in the wider community beyond the cloister. Joe left the monastery and eventually became a training officer for emergency services in a rural/tourist area. While engaged in lost person searches; flood, cliff and car crash rescues; and more, he witnessed tragic misfortune and miraculous survival. His eyes were opened to the fragility of this precious life. In his role as a spiritual director, and later as pastoral carer in a hospital, Joe realised the deep longing in all human hearts for spiritual meaning and peace. He was inspired to write 'Our Eternal Relationship', which shares the key insights and contemplations that were so transformative in his journey. From prison officer to monk to emergency rescuer to pastoral carer for the sick and dying, Joseph V. McCarthy has not flinched from witnessing life's darkest pits of despair. He believes, "There is not a person in this world who does not deserve our sympathy," and he offers simple steps towards a life of spiritual integrity and contribution, free of religious dogma.

Rowland Hill: His Life, Anecdotes, and Pulpit Sayings by Vernon J. Charlesworth (Aneko Press) Price verified 7 hours ago

Rowland Hill was humorous, but he was a great deal more, and those who know his lifework will not remember him as exemplifying one single quality, but as a good, childlike man in whom nothing for Christ was restrained. Considering him as he was overall, we will not soon see anyone like him again. There was no dishonesty or duplicity in him. He loved his Lord and the souls of men, and he threw all his might into the pursuit of doing good. Certainly few men were ever more unselfish. People called him eccentric because they themselves were out of center. With his great heart, calm soul, wise mind, and loving nature, he had learned to wait upon his Lord, and so had found the right center and true course for his being. At first, the press had its sneers for him, but it could not lessen the respect in which he was held, and in due time it turned around and joined in the chorus of his praise. His riper years were full of honor, and like his younger days, they were full of fruit unto God.

Universal Mysteries by Ahmed Hulusi 3.7 Stars (197 Reviews)    Price verified 9 hours ago

THIS TRANSLATION HAS BEEN REVISED IN SEPTEMBER 2011! Universal Mysteries is a fascinating, and in most ways, a unique book. It provides the answers to many intriguing questions about the origin and the nature of the universe, as well as the purpose of humans. It is an ideal read for contemplative minds seeking to understand the scientific basis of spirituality in a comprehensive and concise way. Over the centuries, Sufism communicated the reality of 'non-duality.' It told us what we observe as the world-out-there is in fact a virtual image and the ultimate reality is the Oneness of all that is. This Oneness, that comprises the essence of all things, can only be realized by getting rid of the delusion of being a separate 'individual.' Today, science also claims the same thing; it reports the universe is a giant hologram. As it turns out, this splendid detailed illusion only looks concrete to us because of our brains' ability to convert a boundless ocean of waves into the projection of what we observe as our physical world. We are in fact creating this quantum reality at all times, as non-local atoms localize and manifest as physical objects at the sight of a conscious observer. In other words, the apparently material world in which we are living is generated by our very act of observing and interpreting. This simply means that our universe and everything dwelling in it has two different aspects to its reality. One is the physical world, or the field of cosmic data receptive to our five senses; and the other is the spiritual world, or the dimension of cosmic energy and consciousness that our sensory perception fails to pick up on! In the same way, we can observe ourselves either as physical bodies moving through space and time within the limitations of the five senses. Or we can observe ourselves as masses of wave frequencies within the giant hologram of cosmic energy and consciousness. The former describes a human being having a spiritual experience; the ...

The Christian And Money by Zacharias Tanee Fomum (ZTF Books Online) 4.6 Stars (10 Reviews)    Price verified 12 hours ago

In this book, Z.T. Fomum talks about stewardship to the Lord manifested in giving to God. Stewardship means we give Him back everything because all we are, will ever be; all we have and will ever have, belong to Him. The author puts forth consecration as a fundamental prerequisite for a financial sacrifice to God and His work that is approved. God is interested first and foremost in you, before your sacrifice. The author also highlights the benefits of consecration. Consecration enables us to belong to the Lord together with our tithes. It is, therefore, necessary to know the fullness of the Holy Spirit and deliverance from the world's system as well as freedom from the "Self". Gifts to God and to the work of God are true investments in heaven. They move God to release abundant blessings for believers who give; especially if they give with love, established in a covenant with God. This is an important book that is easy to read and has a clear message.
