Sinopse

Prophecy Legends explores the profound impact of prophecies and visions on shaping human history, beliefs, and culture. It delves into how prophetic traditions influenced ancient religious texts, epic narratives, and even modern speculative fiction. The book examines prophecy not just as prediction, but as a complex cultural expression reflecting societal anxieties and aspirations. Readers will find intriguing insights into how cultures have interpreted and integrated prophecies, affecting their social structures, spiritual beliefs, and literary creations.

 
The book uniquely adopts a multidisciplinary approach, drawing from historical context, theological interpretations, and literary analysis to understand prophecy. For example, prophecies served as powerful catalysts for cultural cohesion, social control, and creative imagination, providing frameworks for understanding the past, present and future. Readers will discover how prophetic figures and themes have evolved from ancient sources to modern authors like J.R.R. Tolkien.

 
The book progresses by first introducing the multifaceted nature of prophecy, differentiating between various types of prophetic utterances. It then delves into specific case studies of prophetic influence, examining texts such as the Hebrew Bible and the Epic of Gilgamesh to see how prophecies influenced societal norms. Finally, it traces the lineage of prophetic figures and themes from ancient sources to modern speculative fiction.

    Leadership can be a blessing or a curse. It can help people rise up to a better life, or it can cause people to fall into despair. Become part of the solution by becoming a high-road leader. The world’s most influential leadership expert, John C. Maxwell, tackles the problem of our divided world in his latest book High Road Leadership. “Everything rises and falls on leadership,” says Maxwell. “Today it is causing people to fall—into disputes, frustration, anger, and despair. His solution is to expose the problems of taking the low and middle roads when interacting with others and teach people how to instead take the high road. Leaders who practice high road leadership value all people, do the right things for the right reasons, take accountability for their actions, and place people above their own agenda. In his trademark communication style, Maxwell teaches the principles and practices of high-road leadership that can increase anyone’s influence and help them make their world a better place.

    When Jesslyn McCormick was just seven years old, a devastating house fire killed her parents and two younger sisters. Now the fire marshal of Lake City, Jesslyn is determined to find the person who started the fire that robbed her of her family. As the twenty-fifth anniversary of her family's deaths approaches, a string of fires—including at Jesslyn's church—brings up all those old feelings and offers new evidence. 
     
     
     
    Because church fires are considered a hate crime, FBI Special Agent Nathan Carlisle is called in to work with local law enforcement. Nathan has his own past—one he'd prefer not to revisit. And focusing on helping Jesslyn track down the arsonist is a great distraction. 
     
     
     
    As both the case and the chemistry between Jesslyn and Nathan heat up, memories will come flooding in from the past to bump up against hopes for the future. And when Jesslyn comes face-to-face with her worst nightmare, she'll have to confront her fears and rely on Nathan and her community of friends in order to survive.

    We are all frittering away our lives—at least according to someone. They tell us to be productive and not waste our opportunities. In Ancient Extravagance, Ryan Snider shows us that life is more than our accomplishments and what we do. The key to a life of meaning is developing our spiritual senses, which only come awake when we worship with others. That might seem like a waste of time, but in fact, these ancient practices have the power to wake up all parts of our lives—not just Sunday morning. 
     
     
     
    Snider begins with a recovery of childlike wonder and story, reclaiming how prose, poetry, memory, and reflection heal and strengthen the soul. Next, he turns to melodies our grandmothers taught us, examining how they reach into our bones. He then reflects on what it means to eat meals with strangers and how a simple act of hospitality can gently inscribe love, generosity, gratitude, and hospitality in our hearts. 
     
     
     
    When we cease simply going to worship and start becoming the worship, we will discover the friendships, beauty, purpose, stories, and sacred moments that will save us and make us more human. Deeply meaningful and delightfully humorous, candid yet surprising, Ancient Extravagance will connect you with a more beautiful and meaningful life.
