Sinopse

A balanced, accessible commentary for Spirit-filled Christians 
 
The Spirit who inspired the authors of the New Testament is at work today around the globe, as evidenced by the explosive growth of pentecostal, charismatic, and renewalist movements; the number of adherents is now estimated at more than half a billion. 
 
The Word and Spirit Commentary on the New Testament meets the need for a balanced, affordable, and accessible commentary series aimed at Christians who identify as Spirit-filled. Features include: 
 
● written by pastorally sensitive biblical scholars from the Spirit-filled tradition 
● paragraph-by-paragraph commentary 
● images, illustrations, and sidebars on pentecostal/charismatic/revival history or insights 
● engages biblical books in their ancient setting 
● emphasizes how we listen alongside ancient audiences for the Spirit's voice in our time and contexts 
 
Series volumes explore how God works in the biblical texts and how Christians can expect God to work today, even if in new or culturally surprising ways. Series editors are Holly Beers, Westmont College, and Craig S. Keener, Asbury Theological Seminary.

    ‘The Illusion of Happiness: Choosing Love Over Fear’ is book 4 in The Awakening Tetralogy. 
    From the moment we are born, we are taught to seek happiness and success in a world centered on the self. We are told that a good job, money, material possessions, a family, and enjoying life’s many pleasures are the keys to leading a fulfilling life. 
    Yet awakening often comes when, despite achieving these goals, true happiness still eludes us. We begin to sense something is missing—a quiet unease stirs within, a whisper from the spirit, the divine spark present in every life. 
    Genuine happiness, success, and meaning cannot be found in a self-centered world. They must first be discovered within, and then, by selflessly sharing our spirit’s innate wisdom and unconditional love, guide others toward discovering happiness, success, and meaning in their life as well. 
    The Illusion of Happiness describes many of the obstacles present to awakening and, by doing so, uncovers a clear path to discover our genuine purpose in life.

    Over 90 percent of couples experience some level of tension around money. In fact, money issues are the number one stressor in relationships. So many books try to fix the surface problems, such as how to budget and what to prioritize when it comes to finances, but the issues go much deeper than just a simple spreadsheet. 
     
     
     
    How do men and women view money differently? What do most couples fight about? How can they get on the same page? What questions should men/women ask their significant others before marriage? There are emotional and spiritual components to finances that most couples ignore. How can you agree on a budget if you disagree with each other on the basic purpose of money? 
     
     
     
    Thriving in Love and Money is based on original research Shaunti and Jeff Feldhahn have conducted to get to the heart of these issues. And just as they did with their bestselling books For Women Only and For Men Only, they will use this research to provide the answers and insights you need to break the tension and provide the unity you're looking for. Let this book deepen your understanding of each other, leading to clear communication, peace as a couple, and better financial decision-making.

    Dying to Live - Reflections on...

    We are all going to die. But what happens after that is the big question. Many don’t believe in life after death, or they wonder if “there just might be something on the other side.” This book is for them. It leads the reader gently and logically along a path of enquiry into this vital question, arguing from reason and experience. We can all have our opinions, but what awaits us after death does not depend on what we think is going to happen. There is reality out there. And, as this book shows, the reality is eminently positive and it fills us with hope. 
    “John Flader’s book is a must-read for those in any doubt about life after death. There are some sobering lines such as ‘What happens after we die does not depend on what we personally think it is going to be’. The studies by my colleague, Dr Jeffrey Long, M.D., another radiation oncologist, on almost five thousand near death experiences, add a wealth of data. I will be recommending this book to my patients.” 
    Prof Gerald B. Fogarty BSc, MBBS, PhD, FRANZCR (FRO), Oncologist, St Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney; Professor, Monash University; Professor, UTS Sydney. 
    John Flader has a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry from Harvard and a Doctorate in Canon Law from the University of Navarre, Spain. Since 1968 he has been in Australia, working with students at the University of New South Wales, the University of Tasmania, RMIT University, and various schools in Sydney.

    Queering the Runes is a contemporary, inclusive, and forward-thinking approach to the runes that focuses on finding queer experience, life, and joy in the Elder Futhark. Siri comes to the runes as a queer, nonbinary reader, and presents a path for reclaiming the ancestral wisdom and mystery of the runes in a way that can provide insight and understanding of their sacred nature for masculine, feminine, and nongendered aspects of self. Written as a love letter to the runes, the gods, and the people who follow the Nordic path, Queering the Runes presents an alternative approach to the runes—one that creates a gentle container for those who want to follow this heathen path. Based on the author’s personal gnosis, as well as deep academic research on runes and Nordic culture, this book explores the root culture of the runes, both in terms of myth and of lived, real folkloric experience, and paves the way for understanding how to work with runes disencumbered from patriarchy and white supremacy.   Siri Vincent Plouff presents the traditional meanings of the runes, then helps the reader to queer the runes in their own way. Included are the lore associated with each rune, exercises to apply them to modern life, activities to engage with the runes (layouts, castings, and galdr), and advice on how to use the runes for divination. Throughout, the author provides journal prompts meant to help the reader channel the energy of specific runes, to get to know their energy, as well as to use the runes to help them move forward in a journey of self-discovery.  Queering the Runes seeks to blow open perceptions of the runes, exploring them as active, living symbols available to all, as well as the inherent connection with ancestral magic that comes with rune work.
