Sinopse

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.

Fascination with the end times is not just a recent phenomenon.
The young church at Thessalonica, having taken root during Paul's brief stay there, pondered when the end might come as well. Paul, in order to instruct them more fully, wrote them two letters, which taken together expound the "already-and-not-yet" character of the end times. His instruction and counsel can serve us well today.
Throughout this commentary, G. K. Beale explains what each letter meant to its original hearers and its application for us today.

In a disorienting world, with obstacle after obstacle, and the landscape of our lives shifting in ways we never expected, we can trust that as we look to our Maker, the WayMaker, our road will lead us to arrive exactly where we always hoped it would, though maybe not at all in the way we imagined. And those dreams for our lives? They can still happen—in ways only He perfectly dreamed of.  
It is true: heartache, grief, suffering, obstacles, they all come in waves. There is no controlling life’s storms; there is only learning the way to walk through the waves. In this audio Bible study, bestselling author Ann Voskamp hands us a map that makes meaning of life, that shows the way through to the places we’ve only dreamed of reaching, by a way we never expected. 
Voskamp reveals how God is present in the totality of our lives, making a way:for the marriage that seems impossiblefor the woman who longs for a child of her ownfor the parents who ache for the return of their prodigalfor the sojourner caught between a rock and a hard placefor the wayfarer who feels as though there is no way through to her dreams 
We can encounter the WayMaker in surprising ways and begin to see Him not only making poetry out of pain but working in every miraculous detail of our lives. Even now, the Way is making the way to walk through waves and into a life more deeply fulfilling than our wildest dreams.
