  Find Happiness and Freedom by Surrendering Your Life to God 
   
  · From beloved author Elisabeth Elliot 
  · Develop a deeper understanding of the spiritual disciplines 
  · Covers all areas of life, including mind, body, time, possessions, and feelings 
   
  In our age of instant gratification and if-it-feels-good-do-it attitudes, self-discipline is hardly a popular notion. Yet it may be one of the most important lost virtues of our time. In Discipline, former missionary and beloved author Elisabeth Elliot offers her understanding of discipline and its value for people of all times. She shows readers how to 
    
  - discipline the mind, body, possessions, time, and feelings 
  - overcome anxiety 
  - change poor habits and attitudes 
  - trust God in times of trial and hardship 
  - let Christ have control in all areas of life 
   
  Elliot masterfully and gently takes readers through Scripture, personal stories, and incisive observations of the world around her to help them discover the understanding that our fulfillment as human beings depends on our answer to God's call to obedience.

  Israel Zangwill - A Short Story...

  Israel Zangwill

  Israel Zangwill was born in London on 21st January 1864, to a family of Jewish immigrants from the Russian Empire.  
   
  Zangwill was initially educated in Plymouth and Bristol.  At age 9 he was enrolled in the Jews' Free School in Spitalfields in east London. Zangwill excelled here.  He began to teach part-time at the school and eventually full time.  Whilst teaching he also studied with the University of London and by 1884 had earned his BA with triple honours in philosophy, history, and the sciences. 
   
  His writing earned him the sobriquet "the Dickens of the Ghetto" primarily based on his much lauded novel ‘Children of the Ghetto: A Study of a Peculiar People’ in 1892 and its glimpse of the poverty-stricken life in London's Jewish quarter. 
   
  As a writer he was keen to reflect on his political and social outlooks.  His simulation of Yiddish sentence structure in English aroused great interest. His mystery work, ‘The Big Bow Mystery’ (1892) was the first locked room mystery novel.   
   
  Zangwill was also involved with narrowly focused Jewish issues as an assimilationist, an early Zionist, and later a territorialist. In the early 1890s he had joined the Lovers of Zion movement in England. In 1897 he joined Theodor Herzl (considered the father of modern political Zionism) in founding the World Zionist Organization.   
   
  Zangwill quit the established philosophy of Zionism when his plan for a homeland in Uganda was rejected and founded his own organisation; the Jewish Territorialist Organization. Its stated goal was to create a Jewish homeland in whatever territory in the world could be found for them.  
   
  Amongst the challenges in his life he found time to write poetry.  He had translated a medieval Jewish poet in 1903 and his volume ‘Blind Children’ in 1908 shows his promise in this new endeavour. 
    
  ‘The Melting Pot’ in 1909 made Zangwill’s name as an admired playwright.  When the play opened in Washington D.C., former President Theodore Roosevelt leaned over the edge of his box and shouted, "That's a great play, Mr. Zangwill, that's a great play."   
   
  Israel Zangwill died on 1st August 1926 in Midhurst, West Sussex.

  'When you perform a ritual, it is an appeal to the spiritual powers of the universe, an appeal to the powers that are meant to connect with the earth precisely through what people do…'  – Rudolf SteinerWith rituals or cultic forms as his central motif, Rudolf Steiner refers extensively to Indian, Persian and in particular Egyptian initiation rites, and how these enabled people of antiquity to connect with specific spiritual beings. He explains the practical purpose of mummification for the religious life of ancient Egypt, and of the use of ritual in certain secret societies or brotherhoods today as, in turn, a mummification of Egyptian rites. But he also points to the future, describing how truly-formulated rituals have a positive effect on human development. Whilst inhalation exercises were relevant to cultures of the past, the principle of 'exhalation' is important for future evolution.On the one hand, these extraordinary lectures relate to Rudolf Steiner's ceremonial work in the Esoteric School of 1906-1914, but more significantly they were given in parallel to the founding of the Christian Community, for which Rudolf Steiner mediated its sacraments. Today, he states, Christ must be sought through a new access to the spiritual world, and any remaining traditional ritualistic forms should be permeated with the power of the Mystery of Golgotha. The lectures are accompanied with an introduction by Dale Brunsvold, editorial notes and an index. Eight lectures, Dornach, Sept.-Oct. 1922, GA 216

  At Last! The How and Why of Biblical Fasting! 
  Fasting has long been a powerful discipline for serious prayer warriors. Yet few Christian books on both the theology and practice of fasting exist. And then some who have written have not always been faithful practitioners. 
  "Few have experienced extended fasts several times a year of from 48 hours per week and from 21 to 40 days' duration with such results as Dr. Fomum and believers in some of the churches in Cameroon", writes Dr. Lester Sumrall in his foreward. 
  Dr. Fomum exploresthe aspects of fasting,interference of spirits, andthe different (Biblical) reasons to fast: for deliverance,ministering unto the Lord,mourning,etc. 
  He helps one withpreparations for fasting,how to intercede while fasting,how to break a fast,what to do after a fast, andhow to maintain the results of a fast. 
  "The earnest intercessor and serious spiritual warrior will want to read this book", concludes Dr. Sumrall. In fact, even if you fear fasting this book will help get you started on this vital discipline.
