Summary

'The Greatest Religious Novels of All Time' stands as a monumental anthology, showcasing a diverse array of seminal works that interrogate and celebrate the nuanced contours of religious experience. This collection spans a wide range of literary styles—from the allegorical fervor of John Bunyan to the existential inquiries of Fyodor Dostoevsky, and the satirical sharpness of Voltaire. The anthology not only reflects the rich tapestry of historical religious discourse but also encapsulates how these narratives can intersect with profound philosophical questions and societal critiques. It invites readers to traverse a landscape where each narrative crafts a distinct yet resonant dialogue with the divine and the mundane. The contributing authors, giants in their respective eras, bring a formidable depth of cultural and historical perspectives. Figures such as Dante Alighieri and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe root the collection in a foundational literary tradition, while voices like Leo Tolstoy and Anton Chekhov offer a glimpse into the ideological tumult and exploration of the 19th century. This melding of periods and viewpoints provides a panoramic view on how religious themes have been variously construed and articulated across time and cultures, presenting a rich field of study on both historical and existential planes. This anthology is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the intersections of literature, religion, and philosophy. 'The Greatest Religious Novels of All Time' promises not just a reading experience but an intellectual journey through the minds of some of history's greatest thinkers. Readers are encouraged to delve into this collection to appreciate the breadth and depth of religious discourse, witnessing how it shapes and is shaped by the human condition.

    Heal, mature, and grow together.Too often, our needs are perceived—by ourselves and others—as either burdens to shamefully hide, or idols before which everything else must bow. The Hospitality of Need provides a biblical framework for readers to see their needs as opportunities for deeper, truer community and relationships.  Through engaging real-life stories, Kevan Chandler and Tommy Shelton share what can happen when we invite others into our lives—hardships and all. Ultimately, this is a book about friendship . . . the kind that God has called us to live in . . . friendship that goes deep and flourishes, not in spite of our needs but actually through them.   This book is for both caregivers and care receivers. It’s for the wider Christian community that wants to grow in awareness of the needs around them. With the right heart and approach, we can—and must—follow Jesus’ beautiful call to care for one another. The Hospitality of Need shows us how. Join Kevan and Tommy’s invitation into a journey that will foster healing, growth, and deeper Christian fellowship.

    Because God created all things with coherent unity, everything can be understood from the perspective of everything else. We experience the world in the context of our own bodies, but every day we broaden our understanding through the perspectives of others. Meanwhile, our omniscient God is also omniperspectival. Through his revelation, he allows us a glimpse of his own divine perspective. 
     
     
     
    What does this mean for us? One valuable dimension of this reality is that theological issues can also be helpfully viewed from multiple perspectives without compromising their unity and truth. In this accessible introduction to his Bible study and theological method, John Frame teaches us to approach doctrine with situational, normative, and existential perspectives modeled on the Trinity.

    Recenter God in your life with How Great Is Our God: Living A Worship-Led Life In a Me-Driven World by Grammy Award-winning worship artist Chris Tomlin. In this intimate look at his songs, Tomlin shows how worship music is more than just music but a tool for putting God first. Living in a me-driven world means being the king of a small, earthbound kingdom. Chris Tomlin posits that when you choose to live a worship-led life instead, you will eventually gain welcome to God’s eternal kingdom. After spending over two decades as one of the most successful worship musicians in the market, he’s learned that he wasn’t just called to sing but to lead others to God. He shows with his writing how God is all around us, encouraging us to reject the worldly notion of living for ourselves and instead decide to live for Him. Tomlin uses his experience as a worship artist to detail what it means to truly live a worship-led life, including:  Exploring how his songs emphasize a God-centered life,  Explaining how Christians can redefine worship in their everyday lives,  And breaking down Bible verses that celebrate God’s greatness.  How Great Is Our God calls readers to remember the true meaning of worship—singing God’s praises both inside and outside of church. When you live a me-driven life, you choose to focus on yourself, but when you live a worship-led life, you choose to focus on God and others. Follow along with Chris Tomlin as he considers the importance of reshaping your world around God and laying yourself at His feet.

    Excerpt from Individual and Society by Nyanaponika Thera
     
    The [Satipaṭṭhāna] sutta deals with the relations between ourselves and our fellow beings, between individual and society. It sums up in a succinct way the Buddhist attitude to the problems of individual and social ethics, of egoism and altruism. The gist of it is contained in those two concise sentences:
     
    “Protecting oneself, one protects others” (Attānaṃ rakkhanto paraṃ rakkhati), and
     
    “Protecting others, one protects oneself” (Paraṃ rakkhanto attānaṃ rakkhati).
