  HOLY BIBLE - LEVITICUS: NEW LIVING TRANSLATION (NLT) The Holy Bible, New Living Translation, is an authoritative Bible translation, rendered faithfully into today’s English from the ancient texts by 90 leading Bible scholars. The NLT’s living language breathes life into even the most difficult-to-understand Bible passages—but even more powerful are stories of how people’s lives are changing as the words speak directly to their hearts.  The New Living Translation is perfect for every age and stage of life, allowing every member of the family to read the same text.   What method did the translators use in making the NLT?  The translators of the New Living Translation set out to render the message of the original texts of Scripture into clear, contemporary English. As they did so, they translated as simply and literally as possible when that approach yielded an accurate, clear, and natural English text. Many words and phrases were rendered literally and consistently into English, preserving essential literary and rhetorical devices, ancient metaphors, and word choices that give structure to the text and provide echoes of meaning from one passage to the next.  On the other hand, the translators rendered the message more dynamically when the literal rendering was hard to understand, was misleading, or yielded archaic or foreign wording. They clarified difficult metaphors and terms to aid in the reader’s understanding. The translators first struggled with the meaning of the words and phrases in the ancient context; then they rendered the message into clear, natural English. Their goal was to be both faithful to the ancient texts and eminently readable. The result is a translation that is both exegetically accurate and idiomatically powerful. More than 90 Bible scholars, along with a group of accomplished English stylists, worked closely together toward that goal. In the end, the NLT is the result of precise scholarship conveyed in living, contemporary language.

  "Mr. Weiss? I'm sorry, but . . . it seems there's been an accident."With that life-changing call in June 2014, Tad Weiss learns that his daughter, Maggie, who is ten days into a study-abroad program in Seville, Spain, has been hit by a bus while on her morning run. Within hours he and his wife, Wendy, are on a plane to Seville and to the hospital where Maggie lies in a coma. Feeling helpless and anxious to get to their daughter, they do the only thing that brings them comfort-they pray.What at first appears to be an unimaginable tragedy soon reveals itself as evidence that God is in complete control. Through the support of Wendy and an unexpected community of believers, Tad's eyes are opened to God's desire to use even the most catastrophic of events to achieve His purposes. This story of healing and spiritual reawakening is told through the viewpoint of a grief-stricken father, utilizing the posts he wrote at the time to share Maggie's progress with friends, family, and a growing number of followers.This journey of faith and uncertainty culminates in an amazing and unforeseen athletic accomplishment that wouldn't have happened if not for the accident. It is a testimony to the power of prayer, and proof that God performs miracles today, just as He always has. Anyone who loves a story of perseverance and faith will find encouragement in 25 Meters to God.

  Instrument of Peace -...

  Lord, Make Me an Instrument of Thy Peace. 
   
   
    
  Thus begins the beloved prayer of the Italian friar Saint Francis of Assisi, which well expresses his sentiments as a preacher of peace, love, and unity. Author and anti-apartheid activist Alan Paton drew upon the Prayer of Saint Francis to write Instrument of Peace (originally titled Instrument of Thy Peace) while his wife Dorrie lay dying of emphysema. Among many others, Paton said he wrote this book for those who wish with all their hearts to be better, purer, less selfish, more useful; who do not wish to be cold in love, and who know that being cold in love is perhaps the worst sin of them all; who wish to keep their faith bright and burning in a dark and faithless world; and who seek not so much to lean on God as to be the active instrument of His peace. 
   
   
   
  "Sometimes we cannot pray because we are fallen into a melancholy and therefore have for the time lost our hope and our faith and have no one to pray to," Paton wrote. "I am in unrepayable debt to Francis of Assisi, for when I pray his prayer, or even remember it, my melancholy is dispelled, my self-pity comes to an end, my faith is restored, because of this majestic conception of what the work of a disciple should be."

  Lifescapes - A Biographer's...

  "A lyrical, radiant memoir." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review 
  Ann Wroe, obituaries editor for The Economist, reflects on the art and impossibility of capturing life on the page. Through her experiences and through people she has known, studied, or merely glimpsed in windows, she movingly explores what makes a life and how that life lingers after in this breathtaking combination of poetry, memoir, and observation. 
  'What is life?' asked the poet Shelley, and he could not come up with an answer. Scientists, too, for all their understanding of how life manifests, thrives and evolves, have still not answered that fundamental question. Yet biographers and obituarists continue to corral lives in a few columns, or a few hundred pages, aware all the time how fleeting and elusive their subject is. 
  In this dazzlingly original blend of poetry, biography, observation, and memoir, Wroe explores the experience of trying to capture the essence of a person. Animated by her rare imagination, eye for the telling detail, and the wit, beauty and clarity of her writing, Lifescapes is a luminous, deeply personal answer to Shelley's question.
