Summary

In "The Occult & Esoteric Works of A. E. Waite (Illustrated Edition)," readers are introduced to a comprehensive compilation of Waite's influential writings on the mystical and occult traditions that shaped the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Rich with illustrations, this edition presents Waite's unique blend of scholarly rigor and poetic prose, exploring subjects such as tarot, alchemy, Kabbalah, and the deeper spiritual truths that underpin esoteric practices. Through a seamless fusion of historical context and personal inquiry, Waite invites readers to embark on a profound journey into the hidden dimensions of the human psyche. Arthur Edward Waite was a prominent figure in the occult revival, known for his affiliation with the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and his pivotal role in the development of modern tarot. His scholarly background in history and literature, paired with a profound interest in mysticism, fueled his desire to demystify esoteric knowledge and make it accessible to a wider audience. Waite's works are a testament to his belief in the transformative power of spiritual exploration. This illustrated edition is highly recommended for both newcomers and seasoned practitioners of the occult. It serves not only as a gateway to Waite's intellectual legacy but also as a rich visual experience that deepens the reader's understanding of the complex interplay between art and esotericism. Embrace this opportunity to delve into Waite's world and enrich your own spiritual journey.

    Is there one God or three? How does one reconcile the "One God" of the Sh'ma with the "Three Persons" of the trinity? The doctrine of the trinity has been at the heart of much theological controversy. The routine objection is that the doctrine sacrifices monotheism to "tritheism." But this objection thrives on a misconception of divine personality in the image of disparate, individual, human selves. This type of rationalistic apologetics, promotive of trinitarianism on speculative rather than revelational grounds, regrettably encourages this misunderstanding. One of the reasons we suffer such misunderstanding is due to our relying on "models." Chuck explores the ostensible tensions between the Old and New Testament revelations of the ultimate mystery of the Godhead. This is a foundational study for every Christian.

    Socrates once said that a good person does not worry much about the little things, like whether he lives or dies, but only about the one big thing: whether he is a good person or a bad one.       In Ethics for Beginners, celebrated philosopher Peter Kreeft reclaims the importance of ethical study in answering life’s big questions: What is the meaning of life? How should I live? How should I treat other people? Unlike many modern texts on the subject, this one asserts that ethics is real, that good and evil are knowable, and that we can learn to act well and so become better and happier people.       Surveying the “big ideas” of the thirty-two most important ethical philosophers, Ethics for Beginners is an apprenticeship to the greatest minds in history. With expert analysis and reflection from Kreeft, it offers a challenging and unforgettable treatment that is suitable for classroom and individual use alike.

Little did Girtie know that she was in for a life changing experience that would bring the deepest joy of living and self-worth – because of loving kindness!

    "A heartbreaking but necessary book."--Christianity Today 
     
    Internationally recognized psychologist and trauma scholar Diane Langberg has come face to face with the crushing trauma of sexual abuse, trafficking, domestic abuse, and rape--and its cover-up. Tragically, she has encountered it all within Christian communities and the church. 
     
    As a highly respected trauma scholar and psychologist working in the United States and around the world for more than 50 years, she envisions a better way. 
     
    In When the Church Harms God's People, Langberg unveils what she has learned about how churches cause harm and why Christian communities often foster unhealthy leaders who end up hurting rather than protecting God's people. She also offers hope for the future, describing how churches can reflect Christ not just in what they teach but also in how they care for themselves and others. 
     
    This book is an invaluable tool for leaders and laypeople alike who want to help the church resist abuses of power and become a safe place for survivors.

    10 Things You Don't Have to Do to Be Close to God 
     
     
     
    Like a succession of failed diet regimens, the much-touted techniques that are supposed to bring us closer to God "in our hearts" can instead make us feel anxious, frustrated, and overwhelmed. 
     
     
     
    Phillip Cary explains that discipleship is a gradual, long-term process that comes through the gospel experienced in Christian community, not a to-do list designed to help us live the Christian life "right." He covers ten things we don't have to do to be close to God, skillfully unpacking the riches of traditional Christian spirituality. The expanded edition includes a new afterword.
