Synopsis

Golden Temples explores humanity's enduring fascination with adorning sacred structures with gold, examining the architecture, spiritual significance, and cultural context of these magnificent sites. These temples, such as the Harmandir Sahib, the Shwedagon Pagoda, and Kinkaku-ji, are not merely displays of wealth but physical manifestations of spiritual ideals, serving as focal points for religious communities and inspiring reverence. The book uniquely combines architectural analysis with religious and cultural studies, going beyond aesthetics to uncover deeper meanings.

 
Beginning with the historical context of golden temples, the book traces their origins and explores the symbolic meaning of gold across different belief systems. It then delves into the theological underpinnings of these structures, analyzing the deities or religious leaders they honor. Finally, Golden Temples examines the social and cultural impact of these sites, highlighting their role as pilgrimage destinations and centers of community life. The book draws from architectural surveys, religious texts, and historical records to present its findings in a clear and engaging manner.

Georgia's new husband began acting strangely on their honeymoon. Then he started controlling every aspect of her life and cutting her off from her family and friends. Forbidden to finish her last quarter of university or even play and sing at her beloved piano, she learned to lean deeply on God as she raised their two young sons in this dark environment. 
The bizarre behavior escalated into mental and physical abuse, and her husband was often hospitalized after being diagnosed first with manic depression, then schizophrenia. Georgia shares her story of hard-won truths learned in seven years of isolation and control. When times were at their worst and she feared for her safety, she battled in prayer and worship. The practice of continual forgiveness set her free and gave her a song in her heart. 
While this is a story of leaning into God in the midst of deep trials, it is also a story of a new love found. Those going through hard times in a relationship, or who have family members or friends suffering with mental illness, will be encouraged by this true personal account of a woman who learned to walk with God in the midst of her trials.

If Jesus took time away from the demands of life for stillness, rest, and prayer, shouldn’t His followers do the same?  Yet living in a whirlwind of constant motion is all too familiar. Our many responsibilities and relationships are important: we want to go to our child’s game and say yes to that assignment at work and help lead that group at church. But when we go, go, go at the world’s pace, the anxiety and burnout start to weigh on our souls.   Laura Smith invites you to pause, exhale, and explore what the Bible says about slowing down. With scriptural insights and relatable personal stories, Laura offers practical habits for resisting the hectic and holding on to the slow. Packed with different ways Christians over the centuries have tapped into the abundant life of Jesus, 24 short chapters lay out spiritual and physical practices such as prayer, Sabbath, saying no, gratitude, decluttering, celebration, and worship.  If you’re tired of the crazy pace of your life but don’t know how to get off the merry-go-round, The Urgency of Slowing Down is for you. Take a few minutes each day to read a chapter so you can learn to slow down right where you are to look for God, listen for His voice, and fill your heart and mind with His presence.
