  When the goddess culture was stolen and buried, so too were women's rites of passage into our wild, intuitive femininity and maturity. 
   
   
   
  With Maiden to Mother, Sarah Durham Wilson excavates these ancient rites, guiding us through a sacred and crucial initiation from the immature Maiden into the archetypal Mother—the powerful, safe, compassionate, full-bloom feminine life force that exists within all of us. 
   
   
   
  Becoming the Mother is every woman's birthright—regardless of whether or not she raises children. The Mother is who we needed as a child, who we were meant to be in this life, and who the world needs us to be now. 
   
   
   
  Wilson teaches that while pre-patriarchal cultures honored women's natural cycles, today's society infantilizes women, idolizing youthful traits such as "pretty, pleasing, and polite" in order to keep us distracted and dependent. 
   
   
   
  In this journey, you will travel with Inanna—the ancient Sumerian goddess who ventured through the Underworld to meet her severed, dark sister and emerged fully integrated and empowered. 
   
   
   
  Wilson helps women heal the Mother Wound and dismantle our internalized patriarchy, so we may live with authenticity and feast on the richness of life.

  Sweetly Set on God introduces readers to the life and journal writings of David Brainerd (1718-1747), best remembered for his missionary work among the American Indians. Dustin Benge begins by presenting the events of Brainerd's short life and the intense personal spiritual piety that undergirded his pioneering missionary work. Then, in fifty-one excerpts drawn from Brainerd's journal, readers will discover his evangelical humiliation, his understanding that God had altered his sinful human nature, his sensitivity to sin, and his holiness of life. Read this book and come to view Brainerd as Jonathan Edwards, his biographer, did: as 'a remarkable instance of true and eminent Christian piety in heart and practice.'

  The Expressive Love of God book series delves deeply into the profound and multifaceted nature of God’s love, as it is intricately revealed throughout Scripture.  
  This series also vividly demonstrates how God's love is powerfully manifested through the life, sacrificial death, and miraculous resurrection of Jesus Christ, highlighting its enduring and transformative power for believers.  
  This idea emphasizes that God’s love is not just a distant or abstract notion, but an intensely active, personal, and sacrificial force. It highlights that His love is demonstrated through continuous actions and personal sacrifices, illustrating a caring and involved relationship with humanity.  
  This love is characterized by ongoing commitment and selflessness, showing that God's love is tangible and approachable, rather than detached or impersonal. By understanding His love in this way, we can better appreciate its depth, intensity, and the personal sacrifice it entails, fostering a more meaningful relationship with the divine.

  The Didache or The Teaching of...

  The Didache—formally “The Teaching of the Twelve Apostles”—is a sixteen chapter handbook composed in Koine Greek around 90–150 AD, most likely in Syria or Asia Minor. Throughout, it emphasizes orderly community life, describing how to recognize and receive itinerant prophets, how to appoint bishops and deacons, and how to maintain hospitality and discipline within the fellowship. The work closes with a sober eschatological charge, urging believers to watch and pray for Christ’s imminent return.  
  Although it was widely referenced by church fathers, the Didache itself was lost after the early centuries of Christianity and survived only in fragmentary quotations. In 1873, Greek Orthodox bishop Philotheos Bryennios discovered an eleventh century Greek manuscript (Codex Hierosolymitanus 54) in the library of the Jerusalem monastery of the Holy Sepulchre and published the full text in 1883. Since then, two much earlier papyrus fragments—one Greek from Oxyrhynchus and one in Coptic held by the British Museum—have confirmed its antiquity and helped scholars restore its original wording.

  We are formed by the images we view. From classical art to advertisements and from news photos to social media, the images we look at mold our ideas of race, gender, and class. They shape how we love God and our neighbor. 
   
  This practical guide helps us look closely at and understand how a wide variety of images make meaning as aesthetic and cultural objects. Elissa Yukiko Weichbrodt teaches us how to learn from art rather than critique it and how to respond to images in Christian ways, allowing them to positively transform us and how we love. 
   
  The book includes twenty-three images, most in full color, that range from classical European paintings to Central African sculpture, from Chinese ink painting to political propaganda, and from stark anthropological photographs to unconventional installations.
