Beschreibung

In "Occultism and Common-Sense," Beckles Willson presents a compelling examination of the intersection between occult practices and rational thought within the late 19th-century cultural milieu. Emphasizing clarity and accessibility, Willson employs a distinctive literary style that blends scholarly analysis with vivid illustrations, drawing from a rich tapestry of historical and philosophical sources. The book critically explores the prevailing superstitions of the time, juxtaposing them against an emerging rational discourse, thus illuminating the complexities of human belief systems in a rapidly modernizing world. Beckles Willson, a noted figure in the early occult revival and a clear thinker with a keen interest in the metaphysical implications of contemporary thought, was shaped by the intellectual currents of his time. Living through a period marked by the tension of emerging scientific paradigms and traditional beliefs, Willson's insights are informed by his own experiences within the esoteric communities, allowing him to provide an authentic perspective on the subject matter. His scholarly background further enhances the work's authority and lends it a depth that challenges both skeptics and enthusiasts alike. I highly recommend "Occultism and Common-Sense" to readers interested in the delicate balance between esoteric practices and rational inquiry. This thought-provoking volume not only enchants with its rich historical narrative but also invites readers to reflect on the convergence of belief and reason in their own lives, making it an essential addition to the library of anyone intrigued by spiritual philosophies.

    In this forty-day devotional, Cuban American writer Kat Armas shows us that reading the Bible with fresh eyes allows us to experience God in new and liberating ways.  
     
    Many Christians today are seeking to disentangle biblical teaching from power structures that marginalize women and people of color. There's a hunger for a new kind of devotional that offers refreshing and relevant ways to connect with God and the Bible--ways that challenge readers to seek out a more liberated and embodied faith. 
     
    Drawing from personal narrative and Scripture, Armas highlights biblical passages that point toward decolonized themes centered on creation, wisdom, spirit, the body, and the feminine. Sacred Belonging helps us see how Scripture directs us to live a liberated faith, where we belong to God, the earth, and one another.

    If God is really at work in our lives, how can we see His active involvement in our circumstances? Seasons: Stories of Loss, Light, Hope and Harvest tells the story of an ordinary woman who has taken faith steps that haven’t always turned out the way she envisaged. But what Celina Mina discovered is this: 
    When we apply to our inner world what nature’s seasons teach us, we begin to see that every situation, event, heartache, relationship and success leads to meaning, redemption and fulfilment. 
    Through vulnerable personal stories about grief, healing, calling, love and motherhood, combined with biblical teaching, Celina invites you on a journey to understand why we all need autumn’s loss, winter’s light, spring’s hope and summer’s harvest. 
    Reflection questions and practical tips are included at the end of the audiobook to enable listeners to apply the teaching to their own season of life. 
    Celina Evelyn Mina is a preacher, teacher and writer, and loves helping people apply biblical principles to everyday living. She is a part of the communication team at her local church, ARK CPH. Celina is a gifted communicator known for the way she unpacks Scripture and weaves personal stories into her messages to illustrate the relevance and power of the Bible in all areas of life. Based in Copenhagen, Denmark (but always an Aussie at heart!), Celina is married with two children and enjoys reading, going to concerts and exhibitions, being by the ocean, having meaningful conversations and drinking chai lattes. Seasons: Stories of Loss, Light, Hope and Harvest is her first book.

    A Jewish Paul - The Messiah's...

    What was the apostle Paul's relationship to Judaism? How did he view the Jewish law? How did he understand the gospel of Jesus's messiahship relative to both ethnic Jews and gentiles? These remain perennial questions both to New Testament scholars and to all serious Bible readers. 
     
     
     
    Respected New Testament scholar Matthew Thiessen offers an important contribution to this discussion. A Jewish Paul is an accessible introduction that situates Paul clearly within first-century Judaism, not opposed to it. Thiessen argues for a more historically plausible reading of Paul. Paul did not reject Judaism or the Jewish law but believed he was living in the last days, when Israel's Messiah would deliver the nations from sin and death. Paul saw himself as an envoy to the nations, desiring to introduce them to the Messiah and his life-giving, life-transforming Spirit. 
     
     
     
    This new contribution to Pauline studies will benefit professors, students, and scholars of the New Testament as well as pastors and lay listeners.

    Nailing Outdated Leadership Practices to the Cross
    Traditional leadership teachings and styles haven't changed much in years. But the world is changing and so are Christian leaders—women need room for their natural gifts to shine and people of color needed space to elevate the values they bring into their roles. Even seasoned leaders are growing weary of the status quo, craving innovative ways to lean into new ways of thinking for the good of their organizations and the emerging generations they serve.
    In this transformative resource for leaders of all ages, Nicole Massie Martin inspires us to crucify our ministry idols and nail our outdated leadership practices to the cross. Sharing leadership principles and case studies wrapped in biblical precepts and pastoral wisdom, she leads us through seven areas of traditional leadership that need to be reframed:
    
    - Power
    - Ego
    - Speed
    - Performance
    - Perfection
    - Loyalty
    - Scale
    Get ready to take the leap of faith into new leadership realities, and discover how crucified living can lead you to nail it.
