Sinossi

In 'Hinduism and Buddhism' (Vol. 1-3), Charles Eliot masterfully navigates the intricate tapestry of these two influential religions, presenting an insightful exploration of their philosophical underpinnings, historical evolution, and cultural contexts. Written in a clear and engaging prose style characteristic of early 20th-century scholarship, Eliot's work stands out for its systematic approach and depth of analysis. He delves into the foundational texts, key figures, and core beliefs of both faiths while also situating them within the broader landscape of world religions, thereby fostering a comprehensive understanding of their distinct yet interwoven identities. Charles Eliot's scholarly background and profound interest in Eastern philosophies significantly shaped his approach to 'Hinduism and Buddhism.' Having served as the president of the University of California and held various academic positions, Eliot's exposure to diverse cultures and philosophies led him to undertake this work. His commitment to fostering intercultural understanding is apparent, as he sought to demystify these religions for a predominantly Western audience, bridging gaps in knowledge and appreciation. This work is highly recommended for scholars, students, and anyone intrigued by the complexities of Hinduism and Buddhism. Eliot's rigorous analysis not only enhances knowledge but also encourages readers to appreciate the rich spiritual traditions that continue to resonate worldwide.

    Friendships are difficult. 
     
     
     
    Sometimes it can seem as if friends are more work and pain than they're worth, with friendship challenges that we have to endure and struggle through. Life gets in the way of our well-intentioned efforts to connect. Conflicts and differences over serious issues divide us and make us think that we could never be close to a person ever again. In today's cancel culture, it's easy to give up on people and just walk away, leaving us all more isolated than before. How can we build real relationships that are life giving and pass the test of time? 
     
     
     
    Bryan Loritts mines one of the Bible's least-known books for insights into how friendships can flourish even in the midst of sin and brokenness. With careful exposition and insight, he unpacks how the apostle Paul helped Philemon and Onesimus reconcile a most unlikely relationship with truth, repentance, and grace. With God's work and steadfast love, even the most painful relationships that have ruptured are not beyond the reach of forgiveness and reconciliation. Discover how friendships that are hard can be transformed into friendships that endure.

    Christianity Today Book Awards Finalist—Marriage, Family, and Singleness
    A Holistic Vision of Family in God's Kingdom
    The Christian world tends to have a blueprint for what families should look like, and these models of the family can be hard to live up to. In some circles, picture-perfect families are idealized and even idolatrized. Many Christians have a gnawing sense that this "traditional family" model is problematic or outdated. But is there an alternative way of understanding family that's neither idolatrous nor revisionist?
    Theologian Emily McGowin casts a holistic vision for what family can be in light of God's kingdom. Jesus is our first teacher about families in the kingdom of God, and families rightly understand themselves only in relation to God's kingdom and the church.
    In Households of Faith, McGowin
    
    - recovers biblical portraits of households of faith that are not limited to just the biological nuclear family, that can be multigenerational households of married and single, with or without children,
    - acknowledges the realities of how sin and trauma damages families and communities, and
    - calls Christians to practice family as apprentices to love who discern the times and improvise faithfulness together.

    Read by the author.  
    God is going to use someone to walk in purpose, meaning, destiny and anointing. So why not you? You can operate in your God-given abilities when you operate out of your God-given identity. 
    There is a very human tendency to believe the best for others and the worst for ourselves. To believe that someone else can operate in their full potential, while we settle to exist in our scraps of talent and personal limitations. But what if we could identify these lies for what they are and learn to take hold of the life God has actually called us to? 
    When Ed Newton was ten years old, a woman at McDonald's prophesied over him that God was going to use him in a great way. Ed, who was eating lunch with his deaf parents, didn't even have a relationship with the Lord at the time. He had no idea that the story that God was writing would one day be something he'd feel compelled to share with others. 
    Ed has walked the road of biblical identity and is now inviting others to do the same. Why Not You? is filled with his stories of growing up as a child of deaf parents (CODA) as well as other life experiences. Ed shows how the truth of God’s Word can cut through the web of self-doubt so many followers of Christ struggle with and show them who God created them to be. This book will help readers:battle through negative self-talk, doubts, and insecurities;retrain their minds to view themselves from God's perspective;see their setbacks as setups for success;stop questioning their gifts and talents and start living in them. 
      
    Backed with Scripture and a raw look at his journey from childhood until a miraculous, spiritual encounter with the Lord in early 2024, Ed shows readers that it’s not only possible for God to use them, but that God wants to use them. Each chapter challenges readers to confidently walk in the calling and identity God has placed on their lives.

    Understanding the Basics and Blessings of Covenant Theology
    From animal sacrifice in the Old Testament to baptism and Communion in the New Testament, the Bible can seem like it contains vastly different instructions for how God's people are to worship him through visible means. But Scripture is a complete story of redemption, one that is breathtaking in its unity. By observing how all biblical events connect through God's covenants with his people, believers can better grasp the beauty of the triune God and the breathtaking unity of Scripture, knowing the Father, through the Son, by the Spirit. 
    In this practical introduction, professor Ryan McGraw gives readers a framework for understanding the structure of the Bible. Explaining the blessing of covenant theology, he reveals how the sacraments illustrate God's relationship with his people throughout the ages and help unify all parts of Scripture, from God's promises in Genesis to their fulfillment in Revelation. Exploring the covenants of redemption, works, and grace, this book will give readers clarity about the gospel, and teach them how to live in fellowship with the triune God and others.
    
    - Accessible Introduction: Explains the basics and blessings of covenant theology
    - Practical: Illustrates the role of the covenant in the church, families, and everyday life
