Beschreibung

Marianne Neumann has one goal in life: to find her lost younger sister, Sophie. When Marianne takes a job as a placing agent with the Children's Aid Society in 1858 New York, she not only hopes to give children a better life but seeks to discover whether Sophie ended up leaving the city on an orphan train. 
 
Andrew Brady, her fellow agent on her first placing trip, is a former schoolteacher who has an easy way with the children--firm but tender and funny. Underneath his handsome charm, though, seems to linger a grief that won't go away--and a secret from his past that he keeps hidden. As the two team up placing orphans amid small railroad towns in Illinois, they find themselves growing ever closer . . . until a shocking tragedy threatens to upend all their work and change one of their lives forever.

    Rob Bell, the beloved author of Love Wins and What We Talk About When We Talk About God, goes deep into the Bible to show how it is more revelatory, revolutionary, and relevant than we ever imagined—and offers a cogent argument for why we need to look at it in a fresh, new way. 
    In Love Wins, Rob Bell confronted the troubling questions that many people of faith were afraid to ask about heaven, hell, fate, and faith. Using the same inspired, inquisitive approach, he now turns to our most sacred book, the Bible. What Is the Bible? provides insights and answers that make clear why the Bible is so revered and what makes it truly inspiring and essential to our lives. 
    Rob takes us deep into actual passages to reveal the humanity behind the Scriptures. You cannot get to the holy without going through the human, Rob tells us. When considering a passage, we shouldn’t ask ""Why did God say . . .?"" To get to the heart of the Bible’s meaning, we should be asking: ""What’s the story that’s unfolding here and why did people find it important to tell it? What was it that moved them to record these words? What was happening in the world at that time? What does this passage/story/poem/verse/book tell us about how people understood who they were and who God was at that time?"" In asking these questions, Rob goes beyond the one-dimensional question of ""is it true?"" to reveal the Bible’s authentic transformative power. 
    Rob addresses the concerns of all those who see the Bible as God’s Word but are troubled by the ethical dilemmas, errors, and inconsistencies in Scripture. With What Is the Bible?, he recaptures the Good Book’s magic and reaffirms its power and inspiration to shape and inspire our lives today.

    Mere Christian Hermeneutics...

    How can we engage the text of Scripture well, rightly, and faithfully? 
    Challenges abound when it comes to reading Scripture, including not only the variety of actual interpretations of the Bible but also the plurality of reading cultures, each with its own preferred frame of reference. A cynical observer might say that Christians have never agreed upon how to interpret the Bible, or even on the meaning of the "literal sense." 
    Theologian Kevin J. Vanhoozer responds to these challenges by offering Mere Christian Hermeneutics Audio Lectures. The allusion to C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity is no accident, for he teaches a "mere" Christian hermeneutic--that is, principles for reading the Bible as Scripture everywhere, at all times, and by all Christians. Vanhoozer seeks to fulfill this promise without degenerating into a bland ecumenical tolerance of conflicting opinions. Rather, he explores the accounts of Jesus's transfiguration, a key moment in the broader economy of God's revelation, to suggest that spiritual or "figural" interpretation is not a denial or distortion of the literal sense but rather its glorification. 
    In this light, each lesson calls both church and academy to develop reading cultures that enable and sustain the kind of unity and diversity that "mere Christian hermeneutics" encourages.

Within its pages, readers are invited to embark on a transformative journey, delving into the depths of the Second Matriarchy and the timeless wisdom of the divine feminine. 
    This groundbreaking book reveals the untold history of the Second Matriarchy, a hidden world that has shaped human civilization for over 30,000 years. It brings to light the existence of the Eos-Incarnate, a living embodiment of the goddess Eos, who has guided the Order of Eos throughout the ages. Through captivating narratives and profound insights, readers will witness the powerful influence of the Caelestes, the celestial goddesses who crafted the Earth and molded life, and their enduring connection to the mortal realm. 
    "Order of Eos - Principals and Practice" presents revelations that may challenge preconceived notions and societal norms. It explores the deep connection between dominance and submission, the spiritual significance of consensual power dynamics, and the intricate interplay of male servitude and female authority within the Order. Drawing upon ancient texts, rituals, and the testimonies of Priestesses and Asservi, this book offers a rare glimpse into a world that has remained veiled for centuries. 
    This book is not merely a historical account but a spiritual guidebook, inviting readers to explore their own inner power, embrace the divine feminine, and awaken to the profound potential that lies within. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Second Matriarchy and its timeless message of balance, harmony, and the celebration of feminine authority. 
    This extraordinary work of revelation and empowerment is destined to become a timeless classic, inspiring readers to reimagine their place in the world and discover the transformative power of the divine  feminine within themselves.

    Rediscover the Rich Treasures of the Psalms 
    Drawn from Psalms 1-75 • Volume 1 
     
    Sheltering Mercy helps us rediscover the rich treasures of the Psalms--through free-verse prayer renderings of their poems and hymns--as a guide to personal devotion and meditation. 
     
    The church has always used the Psalms as part of its prayer life, and they have inspired countless other prayers. This book contains 75 prayers drawn from Psalms 1-75, providing lyrical sketches of what authors Ryan Whitaker Smith and Dan Wilt have seen, heard, and felt while sojourning in the Psalms.  
     
    While each prayer corresponds to a particular psalm and touches on its themes and ideas, it is not a new translation of the Psalms or an attempt to modernize or contextualize their content or language. Rather, the prayers are responses to the Psalms written in harmony with Scripture. These prayers help us quiet our hearts before God and welcome us into a safe place amid the storms of life. 
     
    This artful, poetic, and classic devotional book features compelling custom illustrations and beautiful hardcover binding, offering a fresh way to reflect on and pray the Psalms.
