Sinopsis

Sacred Trees explores the profound, enduring connection between humanity and trees, delving into their diverse roles in religious and cultural practices worldwide. It examines how trees—often symbols of life, wisdom, and divinity—have shaped rituals, mythologies, and belief systems. For example, the book illustrates how specific trees, such as the Bodhi tree in Buddhism and the oak trees revered by the Druids, have become intertwined with religious narratives. This exploration highlights recurring themes of creation, knowledge, and our fundamental relationship with nature.

 
The book uniquely integrates perspectives from botany, religious studies, anthropology, and environmental history to provide a comprehensive understanding of the cultural significance of trees. Beginning with an introduction to the concept of sacred trees, the central chapters showcase their diversity across geographical regions, using case studies from creation myths to healing rituals. The concluding section synthesizes these examples, identifying common threads and exploring the implications of this enduring reverence for modern environmental ethics and conservation efforts, enriching our understanding of belief systems and cultural history.

    We live in a polarized time. Christians are quick to conceive of themselves either as theologically-minded or worship-minded; either thinking Christians or feeling Christians. The results are damaging: theology without worship is muted, stifled, and cold, and worship without theology is ungrounded, unrooted, and uninformed. This is not the way it was meant to be.  Theology (our study and knowledge of God) should always lead to doxology (our worship of Him). Worship should always be rooted in theology. When we study the nature and character of God as revealed in his Word, we are invited to respond in the affectionate, obedient discipleship of worship. How can we keep our theology from being mere head knowledge? How do we give our worship roots that will last? By fixing our eyes on God Himself—the object of our study and the object of our worship. Fix Your Eyes is an invitation to understand core doctrines of the Christian faith and apply them in our daily worship of God. It walks believers through key theological concepts and shows how each can be lived out in daily life.

    The world wants to make us into its image. The cares and pleasures of this life demand our hearts' devotion. We are always in the process of being transformed. We become like what we worship—which means we will find true rest only as we worship Christ and become more like him. In his revised devotional work, Kris Lundgaard invites us to forsake unfulfilling idols and set our hearts on adoring Christ instead. Drawn by the wisdom of Puritan John Owen, this book is a profound call to contemplate Christ—his person, work, and love—in new and deeper ways, so that you are challenged and changed. Readers praise The Glorious Christ (formerly Through the Looking Glass) as a useful resource for group study as well as private meditation. Discover the eternal value of beholding the glorious Christ, who is worthy of all our worship.

    Over the last decade, the Religious Right has evolved. Some of the more extreme beliefs of American evangelicalism have begun to take hold in the mainstream. Scholar Matthew D. Taylor pulls back the curtain on a little-known movement of evangelical Christians who see themselves waging spiritual battles on a massive scale. Known as the New Apostolic Reformation, this network of leaders and believers yields colossal influence, galvanizing support for Trump and far-right leaders around the world. In this groundbreaking account, Taylor explores the New Apostolic Reformation from its inception in the work of a Fuller Seminary professor, to its immense networks of apostles and prophets, to its role in the January 6 riot. 
     
     
     
    Taylor's unprecedented access to the movement's leaders, archives, internal conference calls, and correspondence gives us an insider account of the connection between charismatic evangelicalism and hard-right rhetoric. Taylor delves into prophetic memes like the Seven Mountains Mandate, the Appeal to Heaven flag, and the Cyrus Anointing; Trump's spiritual advisor Paula White's call for "angelic reinforcements"; and Sean Feucht and Bethel Music's titanic command of worship styles across America. Throughout, Taylor maps a movement of magnetic leaders and their uncompromising beliefs—and where it might be headed next.
