Sinossi

A theologian explores the rich imagery and symbolism of the Bible and the Church, offering a new path for spiritual inspiration in the modern era. Does the imagery of the Bible correspond to our present understanding of the human psyche and its environment? Do the doctrinal and ritual patterns of the Church offer effective structure and spiritual orientation for modern life? In Symbolism in the Bible and the Church, theologian Gilbert Cope evaluates these pillars of traditional Hebrew-Christian “mythology” in light of our post-Darwinian, post-Freudian, and post-Einsteinian age.  In this lucid and wide-ranging study, Cope argues that the imagery and symbolism of the Bible and the Church are more vital than ever. While the scientific method has opened a door to knowledge, it has also opened a door to ignorance. The more we discover, the more we realize how little we know.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    In a single, breathtaking moment, the world is forever changed. 
    Millions vanish—mothers, fathers, children, entire families—leaving behind only their clothes and possessions. What remains is confusion, grief, and fear as those left behind grapple with the terrifying possibility that the prophecies of Scripture have come to pass. 
    In Birmingham, Alabama, Tom, Josh, and Sam confront a city collapsing under its own panic. Tom, whose wife and children were taken, must wrestle with heartbreak while clinging to the faint hope that God still has a plan. Josh questions everything he once believed, desperate for answers that seem out of reach. And Sam, already scarred by loss, wonders if redemption is even possible for a man like him. 
    In New York City, Jessie and Marcus face the calamity in a place where chaos spreads faster than hope. Jessie searches for meaning in a world gone silent, while Marcus—a man of God—sees the event as both judgment and calling. Determined to build a refuge for the frightened and the broken, he becomes a shepherd for the lost in a city that suddenly feels godless. 
    Though divided by distance, they are united by the same reality: they were left behind. Their only hope for survival lies in faith, trust, and a return to the God many had forgotten. 
    Separation Day is a gripping tale of loss, prophecy, and the desperate search for light in a world overshadowed by judgment.

    The reality of suffering is a profound aspect of the human experience, one that resonates deeply within the Christian faith. As believers, we are often confronted with the stark truth that pain and hardship are not mere anomalies; they are woven into the fabric of our lives. Yet, in the midst of our struggles, we are invited to reflect on the comforting nature of Christ. His compassion for the brokenhearted is a testament to the fact that we are not alone in our suffering. When we allow ourselves to embrace this truth, we begin to see our trials not just as obstacles, but as opportunities for deeper intimacy with God.

    · Discover the key to viewing life as both difficult and joyful 
    · Heartfelt writing on the Psalms and science from a journalist and disability advocate who has experienced significant hardship and loss 
     
     
    We want to live with joy. But life is hard. Culture tells us to ignore the hard and focus on the positive. But science shows that actually makes us more depressed and physically ill. In her transparent, hopeful way, Jillian Benfield shows how we can live with the joy Jesus promises--not by ignoring our dark circumstances and emotions, but by practicing a truer way of living: embracing the "&" in life. 
      
    Through sharing psalms, scientific findings, journaling prompts, and personal stories of parenting children with disabilities and medical complexities, Jillian offers encouraging, practical ways we can be real about our hard things & be grateful for the good things. She shows how we can be honest about our hardships & aware of God's goodness. We can acknowledge our pain & keep our eyes open to the beauty still unfolding. We can be overwhelmed, grieving, stressed, angry, confused, and unsure & we can be grateful. 
      
    Because the truth is, life is hard & life is beautiful. True gratitude is found at this intersection & leads to the joyful, abundant life God promises--no matter what is going on around us.

    Have you heard anything “Straight from horse’s mouth” except their neighing?  
    Despite the popular phrase being used regularly, no one has been fortunate enough to do so literally. Here I am going to narrate a magnificent story of a great knowledge expressed through the horse’s mouth. The person doing so is famous Dadhichi, the great sage sacrificing his body for creation of Vajra, the weapon used by Indra to defeat Vritra, the demon. 
    Dadhichi is also known as the authority in the knowledge of Madhu Vidya, the honey doctrine. Indra threatened him to not teach this Vidya to anybody else. Ashwini Duo, the great physicians replaced his original head by a horse’s head. Dadhichi spoke the knowledge to Ashwini Duo from horse’s head. Angry Indra cut this head. Then, Ashwini duo implanted original head to Dadhichi to make him alive again. 
    Madhu Vidya is a magnificent statement of the Upanishad. It is one of the thirty-two important Brahm Vidyas, meditation on which results in great wisdom. In Chhandogya Upanishad, it is explained as the nectar or essence extracted from all books of knowledge including Vedas, Brahmans, Upanishads and books of History and Purana.  
    In Bṛihadaraṇyaka Upanishad, it tells us that everything is organically related to and so mutually dependent on everything else in the world. This link is through the Universal Super Consciousness pervading both animate and inanimate beings in the world.  This eternal wisdom is very significant in modern world as the basis of sustainable development. 
    Again, modern concept of manifestation from subconscious mind, will is rooted in Madhu Vidya. The manifestation can be successful if you consider the object to be manifested as organically connected to you like any object, person of the world as per the wisdom of Madhu Vidya.

    At the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, young Jonathan Livingston Seagull caught the world’s notice as he sought to break beyond the pitiful life of those average mortals populating the earth. Conquering all, entering into the eternal bliss, Jonathan left us, as did this magical spiritual age of enlightenment. What happened? 
    In that era many seagulls emulated Jonathan; their stories never told. But one mighty bird, Johann Earlington, a contemporary of Jonathan, too looked to greater heights, too wanted answers, and too found the ultimate abode; but today, forty years after, his efforts lie in ruins. The world, his magnificent new world, has come full circle back to the pain of boredom and hopelessness of repetition. 
    As our story begins, Johann is doubting his own accomplishments; rising to great heights, finding the most glorious of all heavens, lovingly showing this new way to any gull who would listen. But the new age is dead, and there seems no resolution. 
    The end of the old brings the beginning of the new when there emerges a teacher, the Lord himself, in all majesty of Jesus, Buddha, and the still small voice. He shows Johann his errors and gives him new direction. Join Johann as he once and for all learns the true way to enlightenment. The simplicity of it may surprise you. 
    This author gives honor to Jonathan Livingston Seagull author Richard Bach who first aroused an impatient age, upon which this book is born.
