  10th Anniversary Edition 
  For generations, we've been taught to fear the cold...  
  And while there are consequences to extreme cold exposure, with proper training, anyone can thrive in the cold and learn the lessons it has to teach. You may recognize Wim Hof from TV specials or YouTube clips; you might have seen him running barefoot above the Arctic Circle or swimming in ice-cold waters. 
  While performing these incredible feats, Wim remained warm, comfortable, and centered, establishing himself as epitome of what is possible when someone uses the cold as a tool to train their body.  
  Scientists became fascinated with Wim -- was he a genetic anomaly, the proof of evolution, or something else entirely? Well, in fall of 2009, college student Justin Rosales decided to follow in Wim's footsteps to discover if he, too, could conquer the cold.  
  In this dual-perspective autobiography, Justin and Wim's lives intersect as they share their journeys and methods for becoming Icemen -- and prove that it's possible for you, too.

  "Divinity of the soul is our birthright. We do not acquire divinity through yoga. What we acquire is belief in our divinity. All the practices of prayer, bathing in holy rivers, and telling the beads of the rosary are practices for gaining belief in ourselves, in our innate purity. Breath-control and meditation concentrate the mind, through which we feel the peace of the soul. Charity, austerity, vows of fasting – these give us faith that we are already pure." - from the Introduction by Swami Adiswarananda 
  Chapter 1 Swami Vivekananda at Thousand Island Park 
  Chapter 2 Sri Ramakrishna As A Guru 
  Chapter 3 My Master Sri Ramakrishna

  A Midwinter God - Encountering...

  “I believe we all carry grief that has gone unnamed and unmourned,” writes best-selling author Christine Valters Paintner. “Nothing in our culture prepares us to deal with darkness and grief. We are told to cheer up and move on, to shop or drink our way to forgetting the pain we carry. Yet I believe that being faithful to our own dark moments is the path of true prayer.” In her book, A Midwinter God: Encountering the Divine in Seasons of Darkness, Paintner offers an invitation to enter the wisdom of holy darkness and to find there a path toward hope and spiritual maturity.  Paintner has experienced multiple journeys through grief that have brought her face-to-face with what she calls the “midwinter God”—the seeming absence of the God of life in dark and fallow seasons of loss. She has learned to confront her own terror in that darkness and to approach it with curiosity to see what it has to teach her. This endeavor has illuminated a path for her to embrace a life of profound depth, one that honors both the trials of suffering and the richness of joy.  With her characteristic integrative and creative practices, Paintner, abbess of the online Abbey of the Arts, guides her readers to view darkness as a place where seeds of holiness begin to germinate. Each chapter of this book unfolds as an invitation to grow in understanding of holy darkness and also meditate, reflect, and create with these elements:  Paintner’s reflections on various themes of loss and acceptance  Insights on a scripture passage written by Paintner’s husband, John  A guided meditation to bring the teachings into your heart  Prompts for an expressive arts practice to process these insights through creativity  Reflection questions to integrate what you have experienced  Writing samples from people who have worked through this material in an online retreat     Autumn and winter are vital to the health of nature and to our own bodies. It is a time of releasing and letting go—a season that invites us to slow down, to welcome the growing darkness, and to grow stiller and quieter. Darkness can be an uncomfortable and uneasy place, but it is also a place of profound incubation and gestation, a source of tremendous and hard-wrought wisdom. With Paintner as our guide, we can encounter this midwinter God with vulnerable courage that leads us to hope-filled wholeness.

  David's Tabernacle - How God's...

  An ancient pattern of worship is re-emerging on the earth.  
  In Acts 15, the apostle James quotes the book of Amos, declaring that the “tabernacle of David” will be restored, and the people of the earth will respond to God’s gracious invitation into fellowship with Him. 
  David’s tabernacle is being restored in our day by the enthronement of God upon the praises of His people through worship! The Lord is birthing a global day-and-night worship and prayer movement that will lead to a historic harvest of souls entering His Kingdom. 
  Worship creates encounter with the living God and His presence, bringing heaven to earth: wholeness and transformation to individuals, to cities, and to nations. You will discover your original purpose and eternal destiny as you step into David’s Tabernacle. 
  Endorsements 
  "God described David as a 'man after his own heart.' David's Tabernacle helps you and I discover what was IN David's heart that moved the heart of God! This is one of the best books written on the subject! I highly recommend it!" -Dr. Jason Hubbard, International Prayer Council 
  "I believe that the topic of David's Tabernacle and the centrality of God's presence is one of the most important and often neglected in the church today. I am so grateful for Matthew's leadership and for this book. The content of this book could be revolutionary for those that read it with an open heart and mind. I highly recommend it!" - David Bradshaw, Founder of Awaken the Dawn 
  “This is a must read for any one who desires to be right at the center of what God is doing across the earth right now in preparation for the return of His Son, the son of David. The intertwining of theology, personal experience and prophetic insight will make David’s Tabernacle an enjoyable read for everyone.“ - R.A. Martinez, President, MAPS GLOBAL

  · Discover how total obedience leads to a powerful and effective life and ministry 
  · Solid biblical teaching from a beloved and trusted theologian 
  · Learn to apply sound doctrine to real life 
   
  Culture is saturated in self-interest and self-preservation, and the church has become complacent--and complicit. Many Christians want God to move--but only if they don't have to move. In an age of spectacle and opulence, we've lost sight of sacrifice and obedience.  
    
  In this never-before-published compilation of teachings, A.W. Tozer turns to Bible passages and stories like Abraham and Isaac, unpacking them to reveal spiritual truths crucial to a lifetime of fruitfulness and power: unwavering obedience. With wisdom and practical insight, he reveals how to 
  · surrender completely to Jesus without compromise  
  · obey even when shrouded in confusion and questions 
  · stay the course when your surrender and obedience are challenged 
  · live each day in full obedience to Christ 
    
  When you are committed to a life of non-negotiated obedience, you will discover a power in your Christian life that you didn't know before--and can't explain now. Obedience will cost you everything. But it will give you everything God has intended for you.
