Beschreibung

Sacred Rivers of China explores the profound spiritual and cultural importance of China's major waterways: the Yellow River (Huang He), the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang), and the Pearl River (Zhujiang). More than mere geographical features, these rivers have shaped Chinese history, culture, and religious beliefs, influencing everything from agriculture to philosophy. 

 
The book argues that these rivers are sacred landscapes, integral to China's identity and imbued with symbolic meaning. One intriguing aspect is how these rivers have influenced the rise and fall of dynasties and the development of technologies like irrigation. 

 
The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, weaving together historical analysis, religious studies, and environmental perspectives to offer a comprehensive understanding. It progresses thematically, starting with the geographical characteristics of each river and moving to the cultural and religious traditions associated with them. It further analyzes their role in shaping Chinese philosophy and concludes with a discussion of the impact of modernization and environmental changes on these sacred landscapes. 

 
This exploration challenges purely secular interpretations of Chinese history, highlighting the often-overlooked spiritual dimensions and emphasizing the interconnectedness of nature within Chinese cosmology.

    A Sacred Invitation to Hope 
     
    How can we live as people of hope in the midst of unmet longings, unanswered prayers, and seemingly unresolvable pain? 
     
    Through sharing her personal story of deep loss, Hannah Miller King reflects on how the ancient Christian practice of Communion can reframe our grief by embedding it in a larger picture of gospel hope. Each chapter presents a way in which the Lord's Supper makes the hope of the gospel tangible, reminding us of God's present faithfulness and promise of future renewal. With its inviting tone and thoughtful reflections, Feasting on Hope provides solace for those seeking hope amid a world that is not yet restored. 
     
    In Feasting on Hope, you'll find rich biblical insights made approachable for all listeners; an exploration of how we participate in Christ's triumph; an invitation to see yourself as a wanted guest of God's hospitality; and reflection questions for individuals and groups to foster thoughtful engagement. 
     
    Whether you are grappling with what seems like an endless search for peace, wrestling with unmet desires, or simply longing for a deeper connection with God and others, this book meets you with tender realism and abundant grace.

    Undoing Manifest Destiny -...

    As White settlers spread across North America, they crafted and enacted an epic story of their God-given dominion―over the land, over Indigenous nations, and over the future. Their narrative constructed a myth of innocence that justified a massive program of violence and dispossession by suppressing a darker history. That history still reverberates today, from settler America's relations with the Indigenous nations of the United States to ways the land has been commodified as property. It's time for the whole truth to be told. 
     
    In Undoing Manifest Destiny, L. Daniel Hawk exposes the belief systems and practices that settlers developed to justify the displacement, destruction, and cultural erasure of Indigenous peoples, beginning in the early American colonial period and extending to the present day. Writing as the descendant of White settlers and as a biblical scholar, he challenges settler Christians to uncover what the settler narrative denies and to work toward addressing historic injustices. 
     
    Hawk asserts that Christians were complicit with programs of erasure, and so Christians are called to confront and heal their residue today. Joining historical research with theology and biblical scholarship, Hawk helps us recognize the myths that shape the American imagination and to engage our faith for a better way forward.

    In Tantric Transformation, we are introduced to the sacred and ancient tradition of tantra by a contemporary tantric master Osho. We are given a detailed map of tantra: inner man, inner woman; the meeting of man and woman; the transformation of energy through sex, love, and meditation. Based on the Royal Song of Saraha, we are not just introduced to an Asian sex tradition, but with Osho we enter the higher levels of transformation. Here, we find tantra as a door to freedom: freedom from all mind constructs and mind games; freedom from all structures; and freedom from the other.
    Love and meditation merge and provide a path to liberation. Tantric Transformation is a very alive, concrete audiobook for exploration of our own energy, of our own inner space. You don't just listen to Osho; you undefine yourself. (See The Tantra Experience by Osho - part of the same series.)
