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.

    A dying marriage. A heroic Amish midwife. A nameless baby girl. 
    When Dr. Michael Reynolds gets an opportunity to take over a country veterinarian practice in Sugarcreek, Ohio, he jumps at it. His wife, Cassie, a Columbus attorney, is climbing the corporate ladder with lightning speed and refuses to go with him. Neither will compromise.

    Sugarcreek’s best, Officer Rachel Mattias, hunts for the baby’s family, but her investigation takes her to the inner-city streets of Cleveland, where she has to fight through a dark maze of lies, suspicion, gang culture, and an overwhelmed children’s services agency. 
    When two people’s dreams collide, who will win? 
    Can an Amish midwife have the courage to stand up against serious threats?  
    Will Rachel’s vow to uphold the law endanger an innocent?

    How to Teach Buddhism to Children

    This is an audiobook of Bodhi Leaves No. 9 by Dr. Helmuth Klar, 'How to Teach Buddhism to Children' found in the Pariyatti Edition of Collected Bodhi Leaves Vol. I, narrated by Christa Michel.
     
    Excerpt:
     
    "...How can Buddhist parents best teach their own children Buddhism? since they will seldom have the opportunity to teach it to other children, let alone the children of non-Buddhist parents. As I do not wish to theorize, I shall speak only from practical experience with my own children, and so of Western children in general. It is moreover particularly the Western child which is exposed to a Christian or materialistic environment, and hence is in need of a carefully considered Buddhist education. In a Buddhist country, steeped in its centuries-old Buddhist tradition, the position of a Buddhist child is (or should be) far easier. In such a favourable environment a good and effective Buddhist educational system may have developed. But even if it had it would be a great mistake for us, as Westerners, to copy it without due consideration.

    A Teachable Spirit - The Virtue...

    Being a know-it-all isn't a fruit of the Spirit. But the ancient call of Jesus beckons us to "love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength" (Matt. 22:37). How do we love God with our mind? In A Teachable Spirit, A.J. Swoboda helps followers of Jesus develop the discipline of teachability. 
    In a world marked by distraction, mind-numbing entertainment, endless content, polarization, and a decreasing desire to humbly learn from those we dislike, the way we engage sources of information like news media, science, and social media content could not be more important. Thankfully, the Christian faith provides sharp tools and rich traditions for learning how to be the best learners. By drawing on his experiences as a professor, theologian, and lay pastor, Swoboda explores the potency of seeing learning as a part of one's spiritual formation to Jesus. 
    With the right posture, Christians can learn from even the most unexpected places.
