Summary

From the Epic of Gilgamesh to Noah's Ark and beyond, stories of a great flood appear in cultures separated by oceans and centuries. How could so many different civilizations tell such a similar tale? Was it pure coincidence, or does it point to a deeper collective memory of an event that shaped humanity?
 
The Global Flood Myths explores these enduring stories through the lenses of history, religion, and cultural tradition. It invites readers to consider the possibility of shared memory across civilizations and challenges us to rethink how myth and history are connected.
 
If you are fascinated by mythology, ancient civilizations, or the mysteries of human memory, this book will open the door to a timeless question that still sparks debate today.
Available since: 09/04/2025.

    Interior Freedom

    It's not always possible to control external events. There are so many things that are outside our control: the past, what others think of us, chronic health issues, other peoples' actions, the weather, unforeseen events. This list goes on and on. 
    It is possible, though, to gain more control over our interior life. 
    In his book Interior Freedom, Fr. Jacques Philippe shows us that we possess, each of us, inside of us a space of freedom that no-one can take away. Despite the most unfavorable outward circumstances, we can claim our freedom because God is its source and its guarantee. Without this, we will always be in search for something else to fulfill us, and we will never understand true happiness. 
    Fr. Philippe lays out a simple but important theme in Interior Freedom: "We gain possession of our interior freedom in proportion to our growth in faith, hope, and love." He explains that the dynamism between these three theological virtues is the heart of our spiritual life, and he underscores the key role of the virtue of hope in our spiritual growth. 
    Written in a simple and inviting style, Interior Freedom seeks to liberate the heart and mind to live the true freedom to which God calls each of us.

    We aspire to freedom but often resign ourselves to an existence trapped in uneasiness and dread. Is there any way to shed such heaviness and reignite hope for deliverance? 
     
     
     
    In Traveling Light, Eugene H. Peterson urges us to listen to an expert on freedom, Paul, whose letter to the Galatians reminds us of the realities of life in Christ, freely given to all. Peterson says, "If there is a story of freedom to be told, the story must begin with God. . . . The Bible is not a script for a funeral service, but the record of the proclaimed and witnessed God bringing new life to the dead. Everywhere it is a story of resurrection—life where we expect death." 
     
     
     
    That lightness of spirit we're shown in Scripture is a gift and challenge. With an open path forward, Peterson calls us to embrace change, exploration, trust, love, and much more. Now with a new study guide, share the work of pursuing real rescue and relief through the abiding wisdom of Peterson.

    When the man had finished his reading, he exclaimed, “This is a man nobody knows! “Someday,” said he, “someone will write a book about Jesus. He will describe the same discovery I have made about Him, that many other people are waiting to make.” For, as the man’s little-boy notions and prejudices vanished, he saw the day-to-day life of Him who lived the greatest life and was alive and knowable beyond the mists of tradition.

    The Timeless Novel About a Bus Ride from Hell to Heaven 
    In The Great Divorce, C.S. Lewis again employs his formidable talent for fable and allegory. The writer finds himself in Hell boarding a bus bound for Heaven. The amazing opportunity is that anyone who wants to stay in Heaven, can. This is a starting point for an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil, grace and judgment. Lewis’s revolutionary idea is the discovery that the gates of Hell are locked from the inside. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, Lewis’s The Great Divorce will change the way we think about good and evil.

    Everybody wants an encounter with the divine. But it can be tempting to try to manufacture religious experiences, make God into what we want, or manipulate the movement of God in our lives. So, what happens when God shows up organically and unexpectedly? 
     
     
     
    On February 8, 2023, a Gen Z-led chapel at Asbury University sparked an unplanned outpouring of God's love that would ultimately draw thousands from around the world to Wilmore, Kentucky. 
     
     
     
    In Generation Awakened, Sarah Baldwin, Vice President of Student Life at Asbury, gives a firsthand account of the Asbury revival: the presence of God's love; the intersection of the human and the divine; the decisions that stewarded the movement; and the stories of freedom, healing, and reconciliation that poured out of Hughes Auditorium. 
     
     
     
    You will be transported into the room with Sarah, giving you a chance to witness what happened for yourself and decide what you think it means. This book isn't an explanation; it's an invitation. For anyone who wants something to believe in, who is longing for something bigger, who desperately hopes that God is not only real but is loving and good, prepare to be surprised, amazed, and have your faith restored.
