Beschreibung

Southwestern Journal of Theology 2024 Book Award (Discipleship / Spiritual Formation) 
 
The psalms endure. Throughout the centuries, Christians have read, prayed, and sung this rich collection of poems. But in our current age of distraction, the daily rhythms of modern life revolve more around screens than biblical texts. 
 
This book argues that the psalms are poetry for the soul, poetry that shapes us. Beyond highlighting the poetry of the Psalter, the book attends to the theological freight of these poems. As such, we learn to read Scripture more attentively and love God and the world well. The first part of the book explores how we can read the psalms amid the pull of modern distractions. The second part highlights the various features of several psalms, showing what these poems can teach us about living in a more focused, attentive way. 
 
This engaging book demonstrates how our thoughts, emotions, and worship of the triune God are sharpened and deepened through the psalms. In an era of dimly lit faces and multitasking, the poetry of Psalms remains ready to train our ears, steady our hearts, and teach us to pray so that we might flourish in Christ. The book includes a foreword by Elizabeth Robar.

    The book of Micah is a Prophetic Oracle. The prophet Micah wrote it 742-686 B.C. shortly before the Northern Kingdom’s fall in 722 B.C. Key personalities are all the people of Samaria and Jerusalem. The purpose of the book of Micah was to proclaim warning and judgment to both the Northern and the Southern Kingdoms. His message was similar to that of Isaiah and was written at about the same time. Micah described the impending judgment that would eventually exile the nation.

    Some truths are too powerful to stay hidden. 
    Loretta, a former slave in the pre-Civil War South, defied the odds, amassing wealth and influence that no one of her status was supposed to achieve. Yet, behind her success lay secrets, ones she carefully recorded in a hidden journal—truths too dangerous to share during her lifetime. 
    Over a century later, Josh and Sheila’s marriage teeters on the edge after a devastating fight that shakes the foundations of their faith. While grappling with the fallout, Josh uncovers Loretta’s hidden journal—a discovery that reveals a shattering truth. This revelation forces Josh and Sheila to confront the buried past as they wrestle with whether love and faith can survive the weight of long-hidden secrets.

    If you’ve been studying the Law of Attraction and manifestation, you know how important it is to be a vibrational match to your desires... 
    But how? 
    -Is there a formula you could follow to manifest faster, stress-free, and effortlessly? 
    -Could it be that trying too hard to be a vibrational match for something only pushes it away? 
    -Are our minds always needed for manifesting? 
    -What to do to be in charge of your vibration (even if things go south)? 
    -Can we manifest faster by letting go and lazily indulging in self-care and relaxation? 
    -How do you release negative beliefs or past conditioning to realize what you truly want? 
    -Why is manifesting money so hard for most people, and why a simple “money normalization” formula could be your path to financial success and abundance? 
    -Why complete alignment, that is- knowing what you want and having pure desires is so important for successful and lasting manifestations? 
    Finally- why going after goals and desires that are not truly yours can only make things harder or add to manifesting unwanted circumstances? 
    It is my intention that after going through the contents of this audiobook, you will realize the answers to these questions for yourself! 
    Manifesting Alignment is your transformational guide to help you create deep changes within yourself so that you can become an unstoppable magnet for your desires!

    "People go to Key West for lots of different reasons. Joey Goldman went there to become a gangster …" 
      
    So begins this classic Key West caper, the hilarious and touching book that launched a much-loved series and introduced the world to Bert the Shirt and his chihuahua Don Giovanni, two of the most unforgettable characters in contemporary fiction.  
      
    Joey, the illegitimate son of a major NY mafioso, decides to break away from a decidedly unpromising future in the old neighborhood of Queens. But will the old neighborhood and the Family let him go in peace? Not if knucklehead half-brother Gino has anything to say about it. As Joey is finally establishing his new life in sunny Florida, Gino involves him in a disastrous scam featuring a boatload of stolen emeralds and several squads of very nasty thugs. Finding within himself resources of smarts and courage he never knew he had, Joey beats long odds and muddles through to a brilliant solution to the problems dumped on him by Gino.  
      
    Cleverly plotted, enlivened by pitch-perfect dialogue, FLORIDA STRAITS is a completely satisfying mystery, but it's more than that as well. Think of it as a fish-out-of-water coming-of-age novel, a comedy of very bad manners with an unlikely hero you will root for from page one.
