Sinopsis

The compelling memoir of the nineteenth wife of Brigham Young, second president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. In 1869, Ann Eliza Young married Brigham Young, becoming what she believed to be his nineteenth wife. She went on to file for divorce in 1873, alleging neglect, cruel treatment, and desertion. She was excommunicated from the church in 1874, and the divorce was granted the following year. She would go on to lead a fight against polygamy, Mormonism, and Brigham Young, testifying before US Congress.  In Wife No. 19, Young shares her account of her life in the LDS Church. It served as an exposé, detailing the treatment of herself and other female church members. Originally published in 1876, this autobiography went on to be the basis of Irving Wallace’s 1961 biography The Twenty-Seventh Wife, as well as David Ebershoff’s 2008 novel, The 19th Wife.

    Christians believe in the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Yet many would be hard-pressed to explain why they believe this, or even where it might be found in Scripture. But that doesn't mean we're blindly following a merely human tradition. It just means we don't know the story of how the early church came to understand the triune nature of our God—or why it matters to believers today. 
     
     
     
    In engaging, accessible prose, The Story of the Trinity relates the settings, characters, and conflicts that led to the creation of the Nicene Creed, a simple yet beautiful statement of faith that helped early Christians express their beliefs. Rather than getting bogged down in dry semantics, this book recounts the dynamic story of how the one God revealed himself as trifold in both biblical testaments. The Trinity emerges from the pages of Scripture itself. Litfin unfolds this core doctrine of the church so that it not only makes sense, but it brings glory to God and expresses the true nature of the gospel. 
     
     
     
    If you've struggled to understand this essential yet often overlooked doctrine, The Story of the Trinity invites you to discover one of the most beautiful expressions of God's love for us, laid out in one of the church's most elegant and edifying creeds.

    Spurgeon and the Poor is a fascinating study into the life and ministry of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, exploring his understanding of the place of benevolence in the ministry of the local church. Alex DiPrima examines the way Spurgeon's belief that gospel preaching and soul-winning formed the church's mission informed his view of social concern as a compelling argument for its power. Readers will gain insight into Spurgeon's theology and experience as he ministered to the oppressed through ministries, private philanthropy, and public advocacy.

    "I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?" —Psalm 121:1 
     
     
     
    As moms, we spend a lot of time looking down: at our phones, at the toddler at our feet, at our mounting to-do lists. We also gaze to the side, envious of what others have. We might even look behind us, nostalgic about the past, or ahead in hope for a more manageable future. But what if God, through his Word, is gently placing his hand under our chins and lifting our eyes toward him? 
     
     
     
    Derived from Psalm 121, these forty devotions will help you lift your eyes from motherhood's trials and fix them upon God's character and strength. Whitney Newby provides verses, personal stories, and Scripture-based reflections that will encourage you amid motherhood's unique challenges. 
     
     
     
    These concise devotions offer powerful reminders of God's promises whenever and wherever you need them. When you fix your eyes on him and know him as your Helper, Comforter, Shepherd, and Sustainer, you can move forward with purpose and hope in your mothering journey.

    The world of the Aghoris is one shrouded in mystery, fear, and fascination. These enigmatic ascetics, followers of Lord Shiva, dwell in cremation grounds, embrace death as a teacher, and defy societal norms to seek the ultimate truth. To the uninitiated, their practices may seem bizarre, even terrifying. But to those who dare to look deeper, the Aghori way of life reveals profound wisdom and an unparalleled understanding of the human condition. 
    In "Shiva’s Shadows: The World of Aghori Sadhus", I have attempted to explore this mystical realm through the eyes of a seeker, Arjun, whose journey into the heart of Aghori philosophy unveils the essence of life, death, and liberation. This is not merely a fictional tale; it is a tapestry woven with threads of ancient wisdom, spiritual practices, and the timeless teachings of Lord Shiva. 
    Through this book, I hope to demystify the Aghoris and their path, presenting their philosophy not as a macabre spectacle but as a powerful reminder of our shared humanity, our connection to the divine, and the importance of transcending the illusions that bind us. 
    To those who embark on this journey, may you find courage in the shadows and wisdom in the unknown.
