Summary

Mount Nebo Mystery explores the historical, archaeological, and religious significance of Mount Nebo, traditionally believed to be where Moses viewed the Promised Land. It examines the historicity of the Moses narrative, the archaeological evidence found at the site, including stunning Byzantine mosaics, and the mountain's evolving spiritual importance across different religious traditions. The book highlights how Mount Nebo's symbolic role has been constructed and reinterpreted over centuries, impacting Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the biblical narrative of Moses and the Exodus, then detailing the archaeological excavations that uncovered the memorial church and monastery. It analyzes artistic and literary interpretations of Moses's final gaze and explores Mount Nebo as a modern pilgrimage site.

 
Ultimately, Mount Nebo Mystery provides an understanding of how sacred landscapes shape religious identity and the complex interplay between history, archaeology, and belief.

Nazi party and the occultism

Davis Truman

Occult figures undoubtedly played a significant role in the formation of the NSDAP, but it is equally obvious that leading Nazis later denounced and persecuted occult groups. Occult "true believers" in the party ranks were frequently marginalized and persecuted as the Nazi Party gained prominence and power after 1919. 
In any case, a surprising number of people in the Third Reich were open to occult beliefs and practices, including senior figures like Hitler and Heinrich Himmler, the head of the SS and Gestapo. 
Without a widespread propensity for paranormal thinking, which Hitler and the Nazi Party rushed to capitalize on and was exacerbated by military defeat and social crisis, the Third Reich would have been highly improbable. The National Socialist movement was not the first to use religious sentiment for political gain. However, Hitler's NSDAP was far more successful than other parties in appealing to a generation traumatized by war, violence, and sociopolitical upheaval by appealing to a supernatural imagination.

New Marriage Same Couple - Don't...

Josh Walters, Katie Walters

Read by the authors.
"For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health." We say those words and mean them. Until we don't. This is a book about creating a different, better, new kind of marriage with the exact same person—no matter how dire the circumstances—with vision, commitment, and hope in the Lord.
Remember those early days of love? When your heart felt all fluttery, and you saw your person through rose-colored glasses? They could do no wrong. You were going to have the most beautiful life with big adventures and lots of sex. Of course, everyone says marriage is work, you knew that. But that was okay; you could get through anything together. It was going to be great.
Until it wasn't.
Something happened. Or maybe nothing happened. Maybe it was one big something, or a lot of little somethings over many years that landed you in a marriage you hardly recognize. For Josh and Katie Walters, it was a big something: infidelity. Now they counsel couples who find themselves exactly where they were: lost, hopeless, and unsure of how to fix their marriage.
This book lays out the principles Josh and Katie learned in that season when God healed and restored their marriage. This process is broken into four parts and is an acronym for the word STAY:S—start with you. (Discovering that when one person changes, the entire relationship changes.)T—take quitting off the table. (Bringing your whole self to the solution and not checking out mentally and emotionally.)A—allow others to be a part of your journey. (Trusting the right people, in the right ways, at the right time.)Y—yield to vision. (Looking past what is and imagining what could be.)
New Marriage, Same Couple is a book about hope. It's about how to create a brand-new marriage with your spouse, whether you've been married for a short time, or for decades.

Stronger Together - Seven...

Dave Harvey

Read by the author. 
A vision of church partnerships that will elevate churches to greater gospel fruitfulness and enable them to thrive. 
Networked churches are the primary church planting force in evangelicalism today—but what makes them so effective, why do they remain so under-appreciated, and what are the common pitfalls that can ensnare them? 
In Stronger Together, veteran church planter and pastor Dave Harvey draws from his experiences and study of networks to walk Christian institutions, church leaders, and planters through tested strategies for starting and sustaining healthy and biblical church partnerships. 
By focusing on key virtues and shedding light on the pitfalls that oppose them, Harvey unpacks seven dichotomies that offer a practical roadmap to healthy patterns:Conviction vs. consumerismGifted leadership vs. isolationismCollaboration vs. radical individualismRenewal dynamics vs. institutionalismA kingdom mindset vs. tribalismHumility vs. egotismModesty vs. triumphalism 
  
When churches are vitally connected to other churches, they thrive, multiply, and last longer. Scripture exemplifies this, and research proves it. Stronger Together—part of the Exponential series on ministry growth and discipleship—will teach you exactly how to pursue biblical collaboration that will allow your church to flourish and your ministry to grow.
