Sinopsis

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.

    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! 
    Once learned and integrated, these spiritual teachings will be with you forever!

    Take three speedboats, a disgruntled ghostwriter, and a hit TV show starring a gorgeous but impossible diva and created by a driven genius who may be losing his marbles. Add a fearless and gleefully profane stuntwoman, an ancient Mafioso with a chihuahua, and a revenge-crazed blonde in gladiator sandals. Stir in a thug with a heart of gold and an inveterate slacker who yearns for glory. Whisk a loopy but tender romance into the mix, turn the whole crew loose in the liberating and seductive sunshine of the Florida Keys—and what do you have?  
      
    SHOT ON LOCATION, the new and long-awaited Key West novel by Laurence Shames.  
      
    Hilarious and suspenseful, wisecracking and wise, this is the most intoxicating story yet from the author of such cult classics as FLORIDA STRAITS and SUNBURN. Longtime Shames fans will rejoice at his return to the fictional turf of Key West and the reappearance of some of his most beloved characters. And new readers will find themselves in for a hell of a ride as Hollywood glitz meets Florida funky.
