Beschreibung

In "Prophetic Mysticism of John of the Cross (Collected Works)," the author delves into the profound spiritual insights and poetic brilliance of one of the foremost mystics of the Catholic tradition. This compilation reveals John of the Cross's intricate exploration of the soul's journey toward divine union through the lens of his distinct literary style, characterized by rich metaphor and lyrical intensity. The book situates itself within the context of 16th-century Spanish mysticism, capturing the tensions and transformations of a period marked by religious reform and spiritual renewal. John of the Cross, a Carmelite friar and theologian, devoted his life to the pursuit of mystical spirituality, which is deeply reflected in the collected works presented here. His own experiences of intense suffering, contemplation, and divine illumination served as a crucible for the eloquent and intricate works included. The socio-religious landscape of the Counter-Reformation played a crucial role in shaping his thoughts, pushing him to articulate a unique theological understanding that marries profound spirituality with poetic expression. I highly recommend this collection to anyone seeking a deep and enriching engagement with the subtleties of mysticism and spiritual poetry. Readers will find themselves invited into a transformative reflection on the nature of divine love, suffering, and the soul's ascent, making this work essential for both students of theology and aficionados of spiritual literature.

    A Mission-Field to Reach, Not an Enemy to Attack
    Pastor Caleb Campbell has watched as Christian nationalism has taken over large swaths of the United States. And he's suffered the relational fallout of standing against it, both in his community and his church.
    Campbell argues that while it's possible to be both a Christian and hold Christian nationalist ideas, Christian nationalism itself is an un-Christian worldview, rooted in ideas about power, race, and property that are irreconcilable with Christian faith. Campbell has come to see himself as a missionary to Christian nationalists, reaching out to them with the love and freedom found in Christ.
    Disarming Leviathan aims to:
    
    - provide a deeper understanding of the modern American Christian Nationalist movements and their relationship to American Evangelicalism.
    - explore reasons why so many of our loved ones are committed to it.
    - equip Jesus-followers with loving, hospitable methods for engaging American Christian Nationalists.
    - provide graciously subversive methods for responding to American Christian Nationalist rhetoric, beliefs, and practices.
    
    Christian nationalism has become an established feature of the American political landscape. With Disarming Leviathan, you can be prepared to confront it with compassion and hospitality, and with the truth of the good news of Jesus.

    In 1837, Juniper Collins and her sisters are shocked by their father's deathbed request for them to return a special set of beads to a Piegan Blackfoot woman he credits with saving his life during his travels West. Together, the sisters set out for the trapper rendezvous to find the woman, but their mission turns more daunting when they come upon the mass of men and lodges spread out in the Green River Valley. 
     
    Riley Turner came West to find peace and quiet and live off the land, but when four unprotected women arrive at the rendezvous, he feels compelled to help them and is more fascinated by Juniper than any other woman he's known. 
     
    As their search brings only empty leads and dead ends, the sisters must decide whether to return East or stay in the mountains to continue looking--and that's if the mystery woman is even still alive. Is the risk to honor their father's last request worth the danger they find at every turn?
