Sinopsis

In "The Triumph of the Cross," Girolamo Savonarola articulates a profound theological and moral treatise that reflects his fervent belief in the salvific power of Christ through the cross. Written during a time of intense political and ecclesiastical turmoil in Renaissance Florence, the text is distinguished by its impassioned rhetoric and prophetic fervor. Savonarola employs a mix of scriptural exegesis and personal conviction, urging readers to reject earthly pleasures and embrace a pious life centered on Christ's suffering, thereby positioning the cross as the ultimate symbol of redemption and truth amidst moral decline. Girolamo Savonarola was a Dominican friar and reformer, whose austere vision of Christianity led him to challenge the corruption of the church and the hedonism prevalent in society. His vociferous denunciations of the vices of Florence culminated in a call for spiritual renewal, which deeply influenced his writings. Savonarola's life, marked by a zealous commitment to reform and ultimately martyrdom, provides a compelling backdrop to his fervent entreaties in"The Triumph of the Cross. Readers seeking a rigorous examination of faith's transformative power will find Savonarola's work both thought-provoking and moving. It is a crucial text for understanding the intersection of religion and politics in Renaissance Italy, appealing to scholars and lay readers alike who wish to explore the dimensions of divine sacrifice and moral rectitude.

    From the bestselling author of Holy Hot Mess, a laugh-out-loud look at what happens when life goes a direction we didn't expect and we are forced to reconsider the beliefs, assumptions, and stories that have always steered our course.  Mary Katherine Backstrom grew up the most basic of all youth group kids—pH level 14—and her faith only grew as she led youth ministry, served as a missionary, and went on to become a bestselling Christian author. She knew all the practiced, perfect Sunday school answers and was driving happily down the straight and narrow, until one day her young son asked a simple question: will my Jewish best friend go to hell? In the months and years that followed, that single question continued to snowball. MK challenged and reconsidered every part of the faith she’d been raised to accept so completely. Not That Wheel, Jesus! is Mary Katherine’s hilarious journey from certainty to doubt to going nuclear on the socials (“it was my heresy era”), and then of slowly and painfully finding her way back to a different, less defined faith. It’s the heartfelt and achingly honest story of a spirituality that went off the road and crashed and burned in spectacular fashion, right before God and everybody. And then, slowly, through grace and plenty of therapy, grew richer and deeper than she ever could have imagined.

    When did Satan fall? We know that the angels were created prior to the Earth. We find Satan had already fallen in Genesis 3. The mystery is, when did he fall? It appears that there are substantial Scriptural references to his rebellion, his agenda, and the subsequent catastrophic judgment that ensued. This raises the whole issue of the origin of evil. And why hasn't God simply wiped him "and sin" out completely? It is also disturbing to recognize that Satan tempted Jesus by offering him the kingdom, power and the glory in the temptations recorded in Luke 5. How could Satan lay a legitimate claim to these?

    Buddhism in its course of development has completed a form which distinguishes itself from its so-called primitive or original type—so greatly, indeed, that we are justified in emphasizing its historical division into two schools, Hinayana and Mahayana, or the Lesser Vehicle and the Greater vehicle of salvation. As a matter of fact, the Mahayana, with all its varied formulae, is no more than a developed form of Buddhism and traces back its final authority to its Indian founder, the great Buddha Sakyamuni.

    A thrilling tale of the Devil's final ride between the darkness and dawn, watching as mankind falls victim to the curse of progress and speed, rejecting all peace and silence, all reflection and godliness. As he goes, he gathers phantoms and monsters, hell-bound victims and dark shadows, all the while telling the natural world to rejoice, for it will soon be free of the curse of Man.Written in 1910, this Christian tome is as relevant today as it was a century ago, as people fall victim to the next and fastest thing, falling away from God in the process. The devil's visceral delight in modernity is poetic and chilling "Come, ye pretenders to holiness—ye thieves of virtue, who give ‘charity’ to the poor with the right hand, and cheat your neighbour with the left! Come, all ye morphia-fed vampires and slaves to poison!—grasp at my wheels and cling!”Corelli lived in the spaces between. Even her birth is still shrouded in mystery, and was the grandest Romance and Christian writer of her era. She outsold Arthur Conan Doyle, H. G. Wells, and Rudyard Kipling put together. Critics hated her, calling her "the favourite of the common multitude", and she hated them in return. A favourite of Winston Churchill, Queen Victoria and William Gladstone. She was also a lesbian, with a her 'companion' of 40 years to whom she left her entire estate and is buried alongside her in a couples grave. Her friends included Mark Twain, Ouida, the Empress Frederick of Germany, and Alfred Tennyson, while her writing tried to reconcile Christianity with reincarnation and astral projection."a woman of deplorable talent who imagined that she was a genius, and was accepted as a genius by a public to whose commonplace sentimentalities and prejudices she gave a glamorous setting." - Grant Allen "the imagination of a Poe with the style of an Ouida and the mentality of a nursemaid." -James Agate
