Sinossi

Volga River Beliefs explores the deep spiritual connection between the Volga River and Slavic traditions, examining its role from pre-Christian times to the present day. It highlights how the Volga is not just a river but a symbol of life, death, and rebirth, profoundly influencing Russian spirituality. The book uniquely combines historical research with folklore, delving into how pagan rituals once revered the river as a divine entity, a practice later adapted during the Christianization of Russia.

 
The book progresses chronologically, first reconstructing pre-Christian beliefs using archaeological evidence and folklore to show the river's significance in pagan rituals. It then examines Christianity’s impact, revealing how some pagan veneration practices were syncretized into Christian dogma. Finally, it investigates the Volga's modern spiritual role, looking at neo-pagan movements and popular culture to understand its enduring influence.

 
This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the Volga's spiritual importance across different eras, connecting religious studies, history, and cultural anthropology.

Salty Cowboy - A Cooper Family...

Elana Johnson

The last Cooper sibling is looking for love...she just wishes it wouldn't be in her hometown, or with the saltiest cowboy on the planet. But something about Jed Forrester has Cherry all a-flutter, and he'll be darned if he's going to let her get away. But Jed may have met his match when it comes to his quick tongue and salty attitude... 
Cherry Cooper isn't thrilled to be back in Sweet Water Falls, though she knows it's the right place for her right now. Her parents are aging and unwell, and she's been gone long enough. She wants to help Mama and rekindle her relationships with her siblings, which would be easier if they weren't all so blissfully happy. 
She's not unhappy, and a certain cowboy at the farm next door definitely makes a smile brighten her face faster than anything or anyone else has in a long time. But Jed's already broken up with her once because of his short temper and quick tongue, and Cherry really doesn't want to play games. 
Jed Forrester isn't the game-playing type of cowboy anyway. He's just trying to break down Cherry's impossibly high walls so he can get inside her heart. Or at least her head, to figure out why she's so resistant to him when they have such a great time together—and she sure doesn't seem to mind kissing him... 
Can Jed use his saltiness in his favor and win over Cherry's heart? Or will she keep pushing back at him until he gives up?

Universal Offer of Salvation -...

PhD Bob Thiel

Will all be offered salvation? What did early Christians teach? Does the Bible show that Jesus came to save more than a few? Is salvation available when God decides? Will God’s will be done? Are the only ones saved now are those who accept the call now? Will God forgive what the blind could not see? The Bible clearly teaches that those gentiles who have been subject to condemnation will have an opportunity for salvation. But will some few will intentionally reject God’s generous offer? If so, what happens to them? How can all Israel be saved? The Apostle Peter said that all the prophets spoke about apocatastasis—have you examined the hundreds of scriptures that support this? Despite claiming sola Scriptura, Protestants generally oppose Apokatastasis. Roman Catholics claim eternal torment for most, but the Eastern Orthodox and Church of God teach differently. What is the truth about God’s plan of salvation that few today understand?
