Sinossi

Tiber Sacred Waters explores the profound religious significance of the Tiber River in shaping ancient Rome and its transition to Christianity. The book argues that the Tiber was not merely a geographical feature but a central figure in Roman polytheism, mythology, and the eventual rise of Vatican City. Intriguingly, the Romans deified the river, seeing it as a powerful deity named Tiberinus, reflecting their tendency to imbue natural elements with spiritual importance. The book further examines the river's role in foundational myths, such as the story of Romulus and Remus, highlighting how these narratives reinforced the river's sacred status.

 
The book uniquely connects Roman paganism with early Christian traditions, demonstrating how the Tiber's influence extended into the development of Vatican City and the adoption of certain water-based rituals. By examining ancient texts, archaeological findings, and artistic representations, the author illustrates the river's lasting legacy on Western religious history. The book progresses from introducing the Tiber as a deity to exploring its role in Roman mythology and its connection to the Vatican, culminating in a comprehensive understanding of its religious impact.

Saints of Feather and Fang - How...

Caryn Rivadeneira

From sheepdogs to wombats to coyotes to jellyfish, animals serve important biological roles in the world. But those who love animals know there's more. We know our connection to other creatures is more than fur, scale, or feather deep. 
 
 
 
In Saints of Feather and Fang, writer and lifelong animal lover Caryn Rivadeneira looks at the ways that animals—from the pets who share our homes to the mysterious creatures of the deep—serve as spiritual guides for our hearts, minds, and souls. 
 
 
 
Christian scripture teems with mammals, birds, and reptiles, and research on animals' sensory responses suggests that we not only care for our beloved animals but they, at times, care for us. A therapy pony who visits stroke victims, a rescued pit bull who shows restraint, hedgehogs that scurry down highways made just for them: these stories offer entrée to tender, whimsical, and deeply theological reflection on creaturely delight, instinct, curiosity, adaptation, fear, and awe. In them we discover and connect with the God who beckons, rescues, and shelters us with stretched-out wings.

Is God Anti-Gay? - And Other...

Sam Allberry

A sensitive exploration of the Bible's teaching on sexuality.  Is it ok to be gay and Christian? Does the Bible really say that homosexuality is wrong? Is sexual orientation fundamental to identity?  Author and speaker Sam Allberry has expanded and restructured his best-selling book, which draws on his own experience as a believer who experiences same-sex attraction. As well as exploring Bible passages that talk directly about homosexuality, this new edition frames the whole discussion with Jesus’ general teaching on sex and marriage, as well as what Jesus teaches about finding ultimate satisfaction and happiness. It also challenges the current culture narrative, which inextricably ties sexuality to personal identity, and he shows that the gospel is good news for everyone, whatever their sexual orientation.  This sensitive exploration of the Bible’s teaching on sexuality has been written to help both Christians and non-Christians struggling with the Bible's teaching on this issue, whether they experience same-sex attraction themselves or not.

Behind the Dress - One Woman's...

Christine Faour

Have you known someone who was in a cult? Do you think you know your neighbors pretty well? You really don't know what's going on behind the smile, the dress, and the doors of the house down the street. 
 
 
 
This is the story of a Canadian woman who was in the Advanced Training Institute, run by Bill Gothard, for fourteen years. The amazing thing is that she never knew she was in a cult until several years after she was out. That's what happened to Christine in 2014. She has spent the past nine years trying to deprogram and change the way she sees the world. The Advanced Training Institute had all the hallmarks of a cult, it even fit Bill Gothard's definition of a cult, but Christine and her family believed they were God's cream of the crop. Join her as she navigates the cult, goes through a divorce, finds out she was in a cult and subsequently has to unlearn all she believed to be true. Interestingly, this is the same cult the Duggar family of 19 Kids and Counting is a part of. 
 
 
 
Written with humor and candor, her story is both heart wrenching and humorous at the same time.
