Herman Hesse, knowledge house

Synopsis

Siddhartha is an allegorical novel by Hermann Hesse which deals with the spiritual journey of an Indian boy called Siddhartha during the time of the Buddha. The book was written in German, in a simple, yet powerful and lyrical style. It was first published in 1922, after Hesse had spent some time in India in the 1910s.

A unique spiritual journey influenced by Hinduism and Buddhism
Herman Hesse's Siddhartha tells the story of a young Brahmin's search for reality after a meeting with the Buddha. This strange and simple story has resonated with millions of readers looking for enlightenment and a blend of Eastern mysticism and Western psychology. 

The story revolves around a young man who leaves his home and family on a quest for the Truth. Embarking on a journey that takes him from the austerities of renunciation to the profligacy of wealth. That leads him through the range of human experiences from hunger and want, to passion, pleasure, pain, greed, yearning, boredom, love, despair and hope. A journey that leads finally to the river, where he gains peace and eventually wisdom. This is the story of Siddhartha as told by Nobel Laureate Hermann Hesse in his most influential work.

Predestination

Dag Heward-Mills

There is clear evidence in the Bible that things are determined beforehand. Believing in predestination means that you believe that no one has any real control of events but everything has already been decided by God’s plan and purpose. On the other hand, there is also evidence that God gives us out free will and allows us the freedom to choose between good and evil. 
The concept of predestination is difficult to grasp because of the way circumstances play out. But predestination is real! It is time for you to understand predestination so that you can work with God and walk with God more easily. 
Another thought-provoking masterpiece by celebrated author, Dag Heward-Mills. Trust God and watch the outplaying of all the things that God ha destined for you. 
Dag Heward-Mills is the author of many books, including the bestselling “Loyalty and Disloaylty”. He is the founder of the United Denominations originating from the Lighthouse Group of Churches currently comprising three thousand churches. 
Dag Heward-Mills, an international evangelist, ministers in international Healing Jesus Campaigns and pastors’ and church leaders’ conferences all over the word.

The Next Evangelicalism -...

Soong-Chan Rah

The future is now. Philip Jenkins has chronicled how the next Christendom has shifted away from the Western church toward the global South and East. Likewise, changing demographics mean that North American society will accelerate its diversity in terms of race, ethnicity and culture. But evangelicalism has long been held captive by its predominantly white cultural identity and history. 
 
 
 
In this book professor and pastor Soong-Chan Rah calls the North American church to escape its captivity to Western cultural trappings and to embrace a new evangelicalism that is diverse and multiethnic. Rah brings keen analysis to the limitations of American Christianity and shows how captivity to Western individualism and materialism has played itself out in megachurches and emergent churches alike. Many white churches are in crisis and ill-equipped to minister to new cultural realities, but immigrant, ethnic and multiethnic churches are succeeding and flourishing. 
 
 
 
This prophetic report casts a vision for a dynamic evangelicalism that fully embodies the cultural realities of the twenty-first century. Spiritual renewal is happening within the North American church, from corners and margins not always noticed by those in the center. Come, discover the vitality of the next evangelicalism.
