  How should we think about church growth in our current cultural moment? 
   
  The golden era ushered in by the industrial revolution led the Protestant church in America to experience unprecedented growth and prosperity in the twentieth century. This environment has formed our understanding of and dependence on growth for stabilization: It's assumed that if we aren't growing, we are stagnant at best, and declining at worst. 
   
  In Baal and the Gods of More, leading practical theologian Andrew Root challenges our assumptions about growth, offering a deep analysis through the lenses of cultural philosophy, economic theory, and theological examination. Turning to 1 and 2 Kings, he shows that our desire for growth is an idolatry that mirrors the ancient idolatry of the Israelites in their worship of Baal and other fertility gods. 
   
  Baal and the Gods of More argues that looking to innovation, creativity, and other secular methodologies in the endless pursuit of "more"—more influence, more people, more reach, more money—-will not save the church. Instead, the church needs to return to dependence on divine action and a relational encounter with the Word.

  ● commonsense practices 
   
  Whether you lead a business or a nonprofit, a small business or a multinational corporation, a start-up or a department, this book will show you how breaking the conventional rules of business may be the best decision you ever make.

  Hear from “those who told the story first.” You may or may not know the story of your birth. If you do, there is something special about hearing your origin story again and remembering how it all began for you. That’s why we observe Advent: to celebrate how it all began for us. In The Christmas Letters, Magrey deVega invites you to hear about the miracle of Christ’s birth from those who first told the story. The letters in the New Testament, known as the Epistles, contain the first attempts by the church to understand and celebrate the mystery of the Incarnation. They point us to the origins of what we believe about Jesus, fully human and fully divine. By spending time with these holy, ancient words this Advent, you’ll come to know the meaning of Christ’s coming like never before. Read the New Testament letters, Romans, 1 John, Philippians, and Colossians as your first Christmas letters of the season and find within them an invitation from God to deepen your understanding of the Incarnation and embrace a fuller commitment to Jesus Christ

  Anubis—Ancient Egypt’s Lord of...

  “A poignant, powerful, inclusive, and deeply personal journey to meet the Great God Anubis. Filled with solid historical information, as well as practical contemporary rituals, magick, healing practices, and prayers, this book drew me in, opened my heart, and made me love dear Anubis even more.” —Michael Butler Smith, author of Embracing Isis   Anubis is Egypt’s original Lord of the Dead. That title was eventually transferred to Osiris, but even then, Anubis continued to be the most active participant in the after-death process, supervising rituals that determined what would befall the dead soul. He is credited as the inventor of mummification. A shrine to Anubis, one of the most significant gods of ancient Egypt, was discovered within Tutankhamun’s tomb. The image of Anubis has evolved into a veritable symbol of ancient Egypt.   Usually identified as a jackal or as a jackal-headed man, Anubis’s domain extends beyond death—he is a guardian of children and travelers and a finder of lost things. Anubis’s adopted mother, the goddess Isis, became popular outside Egypt, with temples in Rome and as far as the British Isles. As her guardian, Anubis traveled with her. He is as modern as he is ancient, appearing in comic books, video games, and in the book American Gods and its television adaptation. In modern times, Anubis has emerged as a sacred patron of mediums and occultists.   In this practical guide to working with Anubis, author Charlie Larson focuses the spotlight squarely on the jackal-headed god. Steeped in history and mythology, Anubis—Ancient Egypt’s Lord of Death and Protection features devotional practices and modern worship that includes rituals, prayers, invocations, correspondences, altars, and epithets. The book leads the reader on a journey of exploration into all things Anubis, delving into his various facets—death deity, psychopomp, and protector.

  Book Description 
  What will you be if nothing could stop you? What would you do if you knew you were indestructible? 
  Everything in Shaurya’s life was comfortably mundane until he discovers his special, newly acquired abilities. 
  High on this newly attained aleatory power, he is restless, wandering aimlessly. He doesn’t know how to use his abilities for the benefit of humanity. But when he meets Megha, a mysterious yet sagacious woman, his life gets the explosive spurt he needed. 
  Driven by a desire to serve, Shaurya’s path will be tough. Only Megha can teach him how to navigate the edge effectively. In their partnership, she is the Aristotle to his Alexander; the Chanakya to his Chandragupta. She directs, and he performs. Together, they complement each other perfectly. 
  Their vision is mammoth and their path precipitous, but they are willing to give their all, no matter what the cost. Sometimes, it takes just one Sisyphus to change the world. Or perhaps two. But no matter how many times the boulder rolls down, the process must start again—ad infinitum. 
  Maybe it’s God’s will. Or maybe not. But He is certainly not dead. He will never be.
