  What if the most important word is the one in the middle?  We often think of doubt as the opposite of faith, but could it actually strengthen our relationship with God?  According to John Ortberg, best-selling author and pastor, the very nature of faith requires the presence of uncertainty.  In this refreshingly candid look at a life of faith, he traces the line between belief and unbelief: less  a dividing line between  hostile camps than a razor’s edge that runs through every soul.  His findings point us toward the relief of being totally honest.  Questions can expand our understanding, uncertainty can lead to trust, and honest faith can produce outrageous hope.  Written from Ortberg’s own struggle with faith and doubt, this book will challenge, comfort, and inspire you with the truth that God wants all of us—including our doubts.

  He asks the questions--because we need the answers 
   
  · explore 31 questions God asks in the Bible 
  · start a personal conversation with God 
  · take part in His revelation, transformation, and victory 
   
   
  It's common for us to ask God questions, but we don't often reflect on the questions God asks his people throughout Scripture. But when we understand that God asks these questions not because he needs the answer but because we do, we begin to see each inquiry as an invitation for a personal conversation--and encounter--with the King of kings. 
    
  In this deeply thoughtful book you will study, and answer, 31 questions God asks in the Bible. As you respond to his voice, you will move into an extraordinary relationship with him, standing in awe as he 
  · opens your eyes for clearer and greater vision 
  · reveals what has been hidden 
  · exposes deeper motives for repentance and restoration  
  · draws you to the center of his will 
  · affirms your calling and purpose 
  · and more 
    
  He asks not for himself, but to empower us to experience his renewal, restoration, revival, victory, hope, healing, and confidence. To reveal his purposes to us--for our sakes--so we may seek the answers that bring about the revelation and transformation we need to fulfill our destiny in Christ.

  The future is now. Philip Jenkins has chronicled how the next Christendom has shifted away from the Western church toward the global South and East. Likewise, changing demographics mean that North American society will accelerate its diversity in terms of race, ethnicity and culture. But evangelicalism has long been held captive by its predominantly white cultural identity and history. 
   
   
   
  In this book professor and pastor Soong-Chan Rah calls the North American church to escape its captivity to Western cultural trappings and to embrace a new evangelicalism that is diverse and multiethnic. Rah brings keen analysis to the limitations of American Christianity and shows how captivity to Western individualism and materialism has played itself out in megachurches and emergent churches alike. Many white churches are in crisis and ill-equipped to minister to new cultural realities, but immigrant, ethnic and multiethnic churches are succeeding and flourishing. 
   
   
   
  This prophetic report casts a vision for a dynamic evangelicalism that fully embodies the cultural realities of the twenty-first century. Spiritual renewal is happening within the North American church, from corners and margins not always noticed by those in the center. Come, discover the vitality of the next evangelicalism.

  Alien Goddess - UFOs AI and the...

  What if the beings we call "aliens" are not invaders, but messengers from higher realms of consciousness, warning us against the dead-end path we are racing toward? What if the true threat to humanity is not an alien invasion, but rather our surrender to machines? And what if the antidote resides in wisdom we abandoned long ago? 
   
  Alien Goddess enters this urgent conversation with a perspective no one else is offering. Drawing on contemporary accounts of contact phenomena, esoteric texts, and ancient mythologies, it asks what happens when a civilization replaces the sacred with the synthetic. Who becomes the architect of human destiny when the soul is written out of the equation? 
   
  Part I—The Messengers: UFOs investigates the possibility that UFO phenomena are visitations from consciousness realms within the liminal spaces of multidimensional realities. 
   
  Part II—The Message: AI critiques the promises of transhumanism and artificial intelligence (AI), exposing the confusion between artificial experiences and true spiritual evolution. 
   
  Part III—The Goddesses of Ascension offers an alternative in the initiatory wisdom of Goddess traditions. 
   
  Alien Goddess is both a warning and a map.

  The “evil eye” is rich with cultural anecdotes and traditions, mystical lore, and modern concepts. This book takes a deep dive into the origins of the evil eye, from ancient Egyptian practices to those found in ancient Greece and Rome. Most people are unaware that the world’s major monotheistic religions are replete with references to the evil eye. What did Jesus say about it in his Sermon on the Mount? The prophet Muhammad warned against the dangers of the eye, but what remedy did he provide to offset misfortune? Why and how does the evil eye appear in rabbinic literature and other Jewish texts? The Evil Eye answers these (and other) timeless questions while taking listeners on a literary journey that is at once informative, enlightening, and, at times, disturbing.

Psalms are then suggested for each period of the day: waking up in the morning, pausing at lunchtime, offering up the night-time.  Psalms for early evening take us through the history of Israel and Judah, and the rich treasury of Hebrew wisdom.
