Summary

"Sacred Mountains" explores the profound spiritual significance of mountains across various cultures and throughout world history. It examines how these natural formations have shaped religious traditions, pilgrimage practices, and cultural identity. Mountains often serve as symbolic links between the earthly and celestial realms, inspiring both awe and reverence. The book delves into the historical development of religions, highlighting the influence of landscape on spiritual practice.

 
The book uniquely focuses on specific mountains, such as Mount Sinai in the Abrahamic traditions, examining its role in divine law and authority. It also explores Mount Kailash, revered in Eastern traditions, as a cosmic axis. Additionally, it investigates mountains in indigenous cultures, such as those in Native American traditions, emphasizing their role in ecological balance. By analyzing these diverse perspectives, "Sacred Mountains" offers a comparative analysis of the universal themes underlying the spiritual significance of mountains.

 
The book begins by establishing the connection between sacred space and natural landscapes, then uses case studies to develop this concept across different traditions. It draws upon religious texts, archaeological findings, ethnographic studies, and geological surveys to support its arguments. This approach provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of the enduring relationship between humanity and these majestic landmarks.

    Have you lost your footing in church? Or has the church lost its footing? 
 
 
 
Many of us feel unsteady, disoriented, even crushed after an endless string of scandals within the walls of a place meant to offer compassion and safety. Others feel forced to draw back or distance ourselves from the church. All the while, our instincts tell us this is not what Jesus wanted for his people. But what did he intend? 
 
 
 
After four decades of ministry, Anglican bishop Todd Hunter is no stranger to betrayal and pain in the church. Still, he has hope. He believes more than ever that Jesus is who the world needs and that Jesus has plans for his followers. In What Jesus Intended, Hunter offers a vision for emerging from the rubble of bad religion and rebuilding faith among a community of sincere believers. By unpacking the purposes of Jesus, we can expose twisted, toxic religion for what it is and embrace the true aims of the gospel. 
 
 
 
Come for a fresh hearing of Jesus—one that offers us the healing and goodness we've always longed for.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
The phrase “You Must Be Born Again” commands so much attention in every community, life and world today. Sadly, many people, including educated people — the elite, dignitaries, government officials, professors, doctors, politicians, and philanthropists — don’t understand what it means. Hence, there is a diverse search for what the phrase means! Some wonder if it means to be born the second time from their mother’s womb, which is impossible. It is such an enormous conversation! 
Many years ago, I stood before university lecturers sharing the exact phrase “You Must Be Born Again.” To my amazement, some of them were completely unaware of it! You may even think I’m talking about reincarnation—to be reborn in a new world as a different person or animal. It is also possible to read this book, yet you don’t even know what it means. 
Get this book, and your life won’t remain the same in Jesus’ name!!

    How to Study the Old Testament for Signs of Christ 
Believers read Scripture to follow Christ and deepen their relationship with him. But since a majority of the Bible was written before Jesus's life and death on the cross, many people rely on the Old Testament for historical context and moral guidance alone. However, when studied in detail, we see how even the Old Testament reveals Christ as the center of God's plan for redemption. 
Biblical Typology examines how the Old Testament foreshadows Christ, the church, and the consummation through types—or symbols—pointing toward fulfillment. Well-known for his academic yet accessible writing, Vern S. Poythress not only provides examples of types and analogies found in God's word but also teaches readers a practical framework and diagram for effectively examining them throughout Scripture. Readers will learn how to identify and interpret biblical typology for themselves as they deepen their understanding of the Bible and the wisdom of God. 

- Great for Bible Teachers: Teaches pastors, Bible study leaders, and thoughtful lay people how to effectively study biblical typology in the Old Testament
- Practical How-To: Not only examines Scripture for examples of Christ in the Old Testament but teaches how readers can find types for themselves 
- Uses Helpful Tools: Introduces a practical framework and diagram to effectively interpret typology within the Old Testament
- Academic yet Accessible: Written by scholar, professor, and author Vern S. Poythress
