Synopsis

"Sacred Places" embarks on a global exploration of the world's most revered religious sites, examining how architecture, history, and spiritual connection converge. It delves into the artistry defining these spaces and the transformative rituals that elevate them to pilgrimage and reflection centers. Understanding these sites requires historical context, tracing their evolution through centuries, alongside examining their profound influence on social structures and community dynamics.

The book progresses across chapters, each dedicated to a specific type of sacred space, from ancient temples like Angkor Wat, showcasing their role in ancient rituals, to the cathedrals of Christianity and the mosques of Islam. Eastern shrines, such as the Golden Temple, are also explored, highlighting the unique traditions of Eastern religions.

What makes a place sacred? Is it the grandeur of the architecture, the weight of history, or the sense of spiritual connection? By interweaving historical accounts, architectural analyses, and personal narratives, "Sacred Places" emphasizes that these sites are not just relics of the past but vibrant embodiments of faith that continue to shape human experience.

The book connects religious studies with art history, architecture, and anthropology, offering a richer understanding of how sacred spaces reflect and shape human culture. Ultimately, it provides invaluable insights into the human quest for meaning and the diverse ways cultures express their spiritual values.

God's Road to Financial Freedom...

Billy Epperhart

Power Tools to Make Your Money Work for You Many Christians are aware that God wants them blessed, but they do not understand how to walk in that blessing. For example, the average American household earns $79,000 but faces a staggering $145,000 in debt! Jesus warns us about becoming a slave to money. However, most people only think about the danger that presents to the wealthy. On the contrary, Jesus knew that worrying about money is a major way people become slaves to it (Matthew 6:24-27). Financial freedom gives you the time, resources, and headspace to fully devote yourself to God's calling for your life. MBA and serial entrepreneur Billy Epperhart lays out easy-to-implement, God-given power tools to help you make your money work for you, such as: 7 steps to financial freedom 7 attitudes you need to excel in building wealth How to live on 80% and invest 20% to build wealth. You can eliminate debt, build wealth, and live in the blessings of God!

Creating Calm in the Center of...

Nicole Johnson

Are you working harder than ever but feel like you’re accomplishing less?
Does your morning routine make chickens running around headless look sane?
Is your deepest sense of calm found in the bathroom with the door locked?
Do you check social media more than five times per day? Per hour?
Author, speaker, and actor Nicole Johnson knows what it’s like to feel as if you’re drowning in crazy. When she couldn’t catch her breath or stay awake long enough to talk with her husband, let alone God, she sought to find new ways of “being” in her life. Creating Calm in the Center of Crazy is a voice of possibility and peace for women seeking to find a calm spiritual center in a crazy, runaway world. As a wife and mom of young children herself, Nicole recognized that life had become out of control. And, with the help of a crisis, she started her journey to create the very calm she was craving.
Nicole’s voice is authentic, humorous, and practical, and at the same time deeply spiritual and real. She brings rich storytelling together with her desire to find calm, and in the process discovers a deeper faith. Her personal story grounds the book as she abandons mere tips and tricks (and the empty promises of time saving apps), to explore new practices — like creating a room of her own, setting technology boundaries, rediscovering the spiritual disciplines of quiet and still (they’re not bad words) — and then extending those practices to provide a safer, stronger refuge for calm to dwell.
Nicole’s journey is shared with relatable stories, insightful help, and practical ideas that explore the inner life of a recovering crazy busy woman finding her way to calm and a deeper relationship with God.
