  The Globalisation of God -...

  Today there is a diversity crisis. Biodiversity loss is at the level of mass extinction. Cultural diversity is also being lost, with migration, modernisation, and language loss. 
  The roots of this crisis lie in the 4th century CE. In this century, the Roman Church set its sights on creating a universal church. With the god of Judaism at its centre, it aimed to spread to all nations. 
  The central commandment of this faith passed on by Moses is that there can only be one god. No other gods can be tolerated. When Judaism was a small tribe, in the midst of many polytheist cultures, diversity was maintained. However, as monotheism began to expand throughout the world via Christianity, and then via Islam and other monotheist religions, this diversity was slowly eaten away. 
  We now live in a world where over 50% of the world's population claims to be monotheist. 
  Being monotheist is a human perspective on our world and our lives in it. It shapes the world we create. That perspective is defined by the god in which one believes. The god of monotheism lives in heaven, is male, single, and a father-figure. He issues commandments and judgements, and expects respect even from those who do not believe in him. 
  When that perspective is projected onto our lives and our world, it creates an intolerance for diversity, it authenticates male dominance and authoritarianism, and, perhaps most significantly, it presents nature as an object without a sacred presence. 
  This book traces the history of the globalisation of this god up to the present day. In its path, it first rooted out diversity within Christianity itself. Being on the fringes of Europe, and outside the Roman Empire, Celtic Christianity survived longer than most. It eventually succumbed in the 12th century. The story of Celtic Christianity's suppression is told in this book as an illustration of the effects of globalisation. Diversity cannot be tolerated.

  HOLY BIBLE - JEREMIAH: NEW LIVING TRANSLATION (NLT) The Holy Bible, New Living Translation, is an authoritative Bible translation, rendered faithfully into today’s English from the ancient texts by 90 leading Bible scholars. The NLT’s living language breathes life into even the most difficult-to-understand Bible passages—but even more powerful are stories of how people’s lives are changing as the words speak directly to their hearts.  The New Living Translation is perfect for every age and stage of life, allowing every member of the family to read the same text.   What method did the translators use in making the NLT?  The translators of the New Living Translation set out to render the message of the original texts of Scripture into clear, contemporary English. As they did so, they translated as simply and literally as possible when that approach yielded an accurate, clear, and natural English text. Many words and phrases were rendered literally and consistently into English, preserving essential literary and rhetorical devices, ancient metaphors, and word choices that give structure to the text and provide echoes of meaning from one passage to the next.  On the other hand, the translators rendered the message more dynamically when the literal rendering was hard to understand, was misleading, or yielded archaic or foreign wording. They clarified difficult metaphors and terms to aid in the reader’s understanding. The translators first struggled with the meaning of the words and phrases in the ancient context; then they rendered the message into clear, natural English. Their goal was to be both faithful to the ancient texts and eminently readable. The result is a translation that is both exegetically accurate and idiomatically powerful. More than 90 Bible scholars, along with a group of accomplished English stylists, worked closely together toward that goal. In the end, the NLT is the result of precise scholarship conveyed in living, contemporary language.

  Read by the author. 
  Room for Good Things to Run Wild is the antidote to widespread Christian malaise. If you feel like life is happening to you, that your faith has been reduced to trite platitudes, and that no matter how many new things you try, you still end up with a dissatisfying Christian life, this book offers relief from the mediocrity of Christian living through the sacred and satisfying journey of becoming an every day saint. 
  After spending too many days staring at the hamster cage of his uninspired life through the bottom of a glass of Scotch, Josh Nadeau knew there were only 2 ways left to go: further down or finally up. Disillusioned by his faith and disenchanted by the world around him, Josh chose up out of a desperation to discover the Jesus who had formed the saints of old.  
  Steeped in literature and doctrine, art and raw daily life and accompanied by original illustrations and living liturgy this book will bring you on the journey back to an embodied theology that understands that we know, not just with our minds, but also with our bodies. From Canada, to England, to Ireland and Spain, Josh follows the Jesus Way, teaching you how to be just as honest about the pain of your life as the pleasure of your life.  
  Rediscover the full and wild world that God has created for you in the way He has created you to experience it. Room for Good Things to Run Wild is a call into the Holy Ordinary; a new way to see that wakes the soul and satisfies the body.
