Synopsis

Mahanadi Sacred Flow explores the spiritual significance of the Mahanadi River in India, revealing its pivotal role in Hindu traditions and its cultural impact. The book illuminates how the river is not merely a geographical feature but a living deity, shaping religious practices and cultural identities across centuries. One intriguing aspect is the river's personification as a goddess, deeply woven into local mythology and traditions. The book examines the network of temples dedicated to Shiva, Vishnu, and local deities along the Mahanadi, each contributing to the river's sacred character. It progresses by first introducing the river's mythological context, then analyzing the major temples along its course, and finally investigating contemporary rituals that sustain its sacred status. This approach provides a nuanced understanding of the interplay between nature, religion, and culture.

A Servant of God - Selected...

Fulton J. Sheen

This three-book volume by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen includes Preface to Religion (1946), The Life of Christ (1958), and The Priest is Not His Own (1963). These three works seek to educate both the new follower of Christ and the lifelong devotee on their place in the world and their responsibilities to God and their fellow human beings.Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (b. 1895 - d. 1979) was a Catholic priest, writer, and presenter of several radio and television programs throughout the mid-20th century. This highly educated man of faith held two bachelor's degrees, a master's degree, a PhD in philosophy, and a Doctor of Sacred Theology. With such a thorough background in faith and philosophy, Archbishop Sheen was uniquely qualified to be an educator, both in universities and to the general public. To this end, he spent many years teaching at the Catholic University of America. He also shared what he'd learned with millions of Americans through his radio program, The Catholic Hour, and later through the popular television program, Life is Worth Living.He also wrote prolifically, sharing many books and articles with the world. Three of those books are included in this collection. Preface to Religion could be considered an introductory work, intended to guide those on the periphery of religion closer to God. The Life of Christ explores the life, temptations, Passion, death, and resurrection of Christ-the founder of the Catholic Church. And The Priest is Not His Own is a unique work for the priest or seminary student to help them be a better shepherd and closer adherent to the example set by Jesus Christ.While Preface and Priest were written for different audiences, when taken together with The Life of Christ they illustrate the depth of a life of faith. From the exploration of human nature and the causes of discontent to the responsibilities of the priest who has devoted his life to the Church, these three books help to illustrate the challenges of life as both

Good God - Suffering faith...

michael brooks

How can Christians believe in an all-powerful, all-knowing and loving God whilst there is so much suffering in the world? Contemporary theology books refer to the problem of theodicy as a significant and unresolved problem. Engaging with theology, biblical study, physics and biology, and philosophy and producing a cohesive synthesis of these subjects, Good God offers an answer that has the potential to re-integrate Christian theology with science and philosophy for the first time since the Enlightenment.

 
Michael Brooks writes with both academic rigour and pastoral sensitivity. As a science and medicine graduate who is also an ordained minister, he makes science and theology comprehensible to those not trained in either discipline.

 
The book opens the reader to the notion of a wonderful creation that is so full of the miraculous that this is taken for granted. Good God provides an answer to a very important question in a way that edifies faith and offers eternal hope.

William Booth - Soup Soap and...

Janet Benge, Geoff Benge

William burst into the house. "I have found my destiny!" he shouted. "I have found a place where there is so much human misery in such a small space that there is a lifetime's worth of work there for me!" Horrified by the poverty and suffering most people took for granted in industrial England, William Booth dedicated his life to bringing the gospel to the outcasts of society who would never enter a church and weren't welcome there. At age fifteen William vowed, "God shall have all there is of William Booth," and not even resistance from the church and government, lack of financial support, or vicious attacks by angry mobs could stop him from spreading the light of the gospel through the streets of England. Today, all around the world, General William Booth's Salvation Army operates thousands of evangelistic and social service centers, changing countless lives with the love of God and the courage of their convictions.
