  Some people are lucky enough to get paid to do what they love. But many are not. 
   
   
   
  What if your vocation doesn't align with your passion? In You Have a Calling, award-winning author Karen Swallow Prior has encouraging news: If we pursue the good, true, and beautiful in all our work, we will find our greatest fulfillment. 
   
   
   
  In an age when passion and calling are often confused, Prior helps listeners understand that passions come from within, while our calling, or vocation, comes from without and is about being called by others to serve. That crucial distinction can help us understand how God can use both our passions and our work, even if for different purposes. 
   
   
   
  This book will appeal to everyone who wants to know that their daily work, ordinary though it may be, can fulfill a higher calling to God. Listeners will emerge with a renewed sense of purpose, knowing they are created for virtue in all they do because they are created in the image of God.

  Exploring Courage in Light of the Gospel 
  Throughout Scripture, important biblical figures have faced numerous adversities with remarkable courage. In the New Testament, the apostles endured persecution, imprisonment, and even death for spreading the good news of the gospel. Yet, amid their struggle, they continued to expand the kingdom of God—even rejoicing as they suffered for Christ. How can believers exhibit this same courage today? 
  In Courage, author Joe Rigney explores the Christian virtue of fortitude and its connection to the gospel. From a theological perspective, Rigney argues that courage—used in the proper context—is a sign of God's salvation and a believer's faith in Christ. In this concise and practical book, readers will defeat feelings of anxiety, anger, and fear as they gain boldness from God to endure all of life's circumstances. 
  
  - Explores Christian Fortitude: How the gospel shapes this important Christian virtue   
  - Practical Study: This concise guide encourages Christians to build up their boldness through Christ 
  - A Part of the Growing Gospel Integrity Series: Created in partnership with Union School of Theology
  - Written by Joe Rigney: Author of The Things of Earth; Strangely Bright; and More Than a Battle: How to Experience Victory, Freedom, and Healing from Lust.

  Hinduism - A Journey Through the...

  Hinduism, one of the oldest religions in the world, boasts a profound legacy that has shaped the cultural, philosophical, and spiritual landscape of India and beyond. Its origins can be traced back over 4,000 years, evolving through various historical epochs and absorbing influences from numerous cultures. This rich tapestry of beliefs and practices has fostered a resilient and adaptive tradition that continues to thrive today. 
  At the heart of Hinduism is a complex belief system that encompasses a wide range of deities, rituals, and philosophies. The religion recognizes a multitude of gods and goddesses, each representing different aspects of the divine. This polytheistic nature allows for a personal connection to the divine, where devotees can choose their preferred deities based on individual beliefs and experiences. The reverence for sacred texts, such as the Vedas, Upanishads, and the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata, further illustrates the depth of Hindu thought. These texts not only provide spiritual guidance but also explore profound philosophical questions about the nature of existence, ethics, and the cosmos. 
  Hinduism's influence extends beyond spirituality; it has significantly shaped Indian culture, art, literature, and social practices. Festivals like Diwali and Holi, which celebrate the triumph of good over evil and the arrival of spring, respectively, are deeply rooted in Hindu mythology and are celebrated with great enthusiasm across India and among the Indian diaspora. The intricate dance forms, classical music, and vibrant visual arts inspired by Hindu themes reflect the religion's profound impact on creativity and expression.
