Sinopse

Fire Rituals explores the pervasive use of fire, purification, and offerings in religious rituals across diverse cultures and throughout world history. It examines how these elements shape religious experiences and understanding, highlighting their enduring power. The book argues these aren't just symbolic gestures; they actively construct the relationship between humanity and the divine, fostering transformation and renewal.For instance, the book details how purification rituals, like water rites, serve not only physical but also spiritual cleansing. The book progresses by first examining fire's elemental symbolism across various religious contexts. It then delves into purification rituals and finally analyzes divine offerings, from sacrifices to modern charitable giving.By drawing from archaeological records, sacred texts, and ethnographic studies, Fire Rituals provides a comparative analysis of religious traditions. This approach reveals how the human impulse to connect with the divine manifests through tangible ritual action, challenging purely theoretical interpretations of religion.

    "Beautifully written memoir"— NYT Bestselling Author Melanie Shankle  
    Each day, it seems another Christian institution or leader breaks our trust, raising questions about whether faith is an asset or a liability for living today. After almost three decades as a pastor, Gregg Koskela watched the disillusionment and pain grow as their church community splintered and broke apart. Looking for wisdom and a perspective on faith that has stood the test of time, he found Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179)—a remarkable medieval woman who experienced the living vitality of God in all of creation. Her mystical visions are wild, but her faith is rooted in the gritty earth, seeing in the incarnation of Jesus an antidote to our modern tendency to separate the spiritual from the physical world. 
    Hildegard reminds us that though institutions and relationships break, God is still worth seeking. Koskela weaves his own experience with her life and words, honestly sharing his own journey toward finding this God who Hildegard makes so life giving.

    You can be totally honest with God.  He wants to know exactly how you feel. When We Pray Like Jesus will help you express your deepest emotions to God and have confidence in His will for your life. You’ll explore Jesus’s prayer in the garden of Gethsemane and see His ultimate example of intimacy with the Father. Learn how to trust God the same way Jesus did when He said, "Not my will, but yours be done" (Luke 22:42).  Even as a popular Christian author, speaker, and media host, Elisa Morgan struggled with what to pray—Could she be honest about what she really wanted? Did she trust God enough to abandon her will for His? Did it have to be one or the other, or could it be both? And in that struggle between needing to be heard and desiring to follow the Father, she found the answer. Elisa shares her journey of growing closer to God and incorporates lessons from Scripture to help you find peace in your own prayer journey.  "Applying the two sides of prayer can move us deeper in dialogue with God," Elisa says. "On and on, deeper and deeper, further and further, we flow into oneness that reflects the unity Jesus enjoyed with his Father."  Experience the hope of praying with honesty, abandoning your will, and growing closer to God.

    The Walk is a book written to those who have expressed a desire to follow Christ as his disciple. It assumes no prior understanding of what that means, nor does it assume that the person has actually come to the point of professing faith. It uses as a starting point someone who is simply wondering, "What next?" 
     
     
     
    Stephen also addresses those who have grown up Christian and may be wondering how to step out in their own faith. 
     
     
     
    The Walk is designed to be used as much as read. It will be helpful to someone who wants to read on his own, but also includes readings and projects that will make it useful as a workbook for that individual, in a mentor relationship, or for use in groups. 
     
     
     
    The division into twelve chapters is ideal for a typical Sunday School quarter.

    Youth ministers were once missionaries, meeting teenagers where they gathered in schools, malls, and parking lots. But over the past decade, something changed. Youth workers have struggled to connect with anxious kids glued to their phones and have found themselves filling the role of therapist for adolescents coming of age on the internet.We need a new approach. A veteran in youth ministry, Andrew Root explains how the church got here—and why soothing teenagers hasn't alleviated their mental health crisis. It is not their inner lives but their relationships that need mending, Root argues. Youth workers can guide young people toward true connection and healing through art rather than through therapy and medication.Providing both robust theology and practical solutions, Does Youth Ministry Have a Future? is indispensable for pastors, youth workers, and campus ministers serving the anxious generation.
