Sinopse

Danube River Mythology explores the profound spiritual and cultural significance of the Danube River throughout European history. It delves into how ancient societies perceived and revered the river, examining its role in religious beliefs, rituals, and the formation of cultural traditions. The book reveals how the Danube functioned not merely as a geographical feature but as a sacred entity, influencing the worldview of those living along its banks.For example, archaeological findings and textual accounts uncover evidence of water deities and river worship, illustrating the Danube's sacred status. The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, drawing from archaeology, religious studies, and history to offer a comprehensive understanding. It progresses through time, first examining pre-Roman and Roman-era beliefs, then exploring the adaptations and interactions with Christianity during the Middle Ages.Finally, it analyzes the river's depiction in modern art, literature, and its impact on present-day cultural identity and environmental awareness. Ultimately, the book emphasizes the enduring impact of the Danube on shaping cultural identities and belief systems, challenging traditional historical narratives by highlighting the profound influence of natural features on religious and cultural development.

    St. Thérèse of Lisieux sought a new way to Heaven: "A little way that is quite straight, quite short: a completely new little way.” Blessed with personal limitations that might have discouraged another, Thérèse believed God would not have given her a desire for holiness if He did not intend for her to achieve it. She learned to humbly accept herself as she was and trust completely in God’s love.  
    First given as a retreat by renowned author Father Jacques Philippe, The Way of Trust and Love navigates excerpts of St. Therèse’s writings phrase by phrase, extracting powerful, resonating insights. To Thérèse, the journey seemed “little” as she traveled it. One hundred and fifteen years after her death, the message of the young saint and Doctor of the Church has traveled around the world, inspiring millions. With this newly translated study of her spirituality, many today will rediscover—or find for the first time—the relevance of “ the little way,” in all seasons of life.

    The Message of Samuel -...

    In the books of 1 and 2 Samuel, we witness the transition of Israel from tribal confederacy to established monarchy. And, as Mary Evans shows in this passage-by-passage commentary, during such a transition questions of identity and power are unavoidable.
    In the aftermath of the decline of the judges, priests abuse their priestly privileges; Israelites covet the centralized authority of their ungodly neighbors; and a throne is won, forsaken, redeemed, lost, and found again. Throughout this era we see, hidden behind the faults and failings of Israel's best and brightest, the faithfulness of a God who looks on the heart and directs the path of every king and kingdom.
    Part of the beloved Bible Speaks Today series, The Message of Samuel offers an insightful, readable exposition of the biblical text and thought-provoking discussion of how its meaning relates to contemporary life. Used by students and teachers around the world, The Bible Speaks Today commentaries are ideal for those studying or preaching the Bible and anyone who wants to delve deeper into the text. This edition features the current NIV Bible text and a new interior design.
