  What does it mean to be human? What is a person? Where did we come from?
  Many answers have been offered throughout history in response to these perennial questions, including those from biological, anthropological, sociological, political, and theological approaches. And yet the questions remain.
  Philosopher Joshua Rasmussen offers his own step-by-step examination into the fundamental nature and ultimate origin of persons. Using accessible language and clear logic, he argues that the answer to the question of what it means to be a person sheds light not only on our own nature but also on the existence of the one who gave us life.

  Evidence for Bible Wisdom reveals how you can know God’s point of view and what it means to be human with the definitions of soul, human nature, consciousness, and mind. 
  God is interested in everyone’s welfare. So, why is the world suffering from Covid-19? Poverty? Strife? 
  Why is the Sabbath the only day in the week with a name in Biblical Hebrew and its special meanings? The surprising relationship between planting, harvesting, seasons, and God’s plan for humankind. 
  Unravel the paradox of a cruel God of the flood and annihilation of nations Who seemingly condones slavery and capital punishment. Discover wise Bible answers to the tricky question about a good God Who does horrible things. 
  Detractors focus on the irrationality, cruelty, bigamy, and controversy of God’s Word. We will broach some touchy and rough Bible subjects. The Explanation is not here to skirt issues but give you answers to the big question in life.  
  This volume is not about religion, doctrine, Church orientation, or specific beliefs to be in some faith. Instead, it is evidence of wisdom in the Scriptures far beyond what the human mind can conceive. The knowledge is pertinent to living in the 21st century—rules, principles, and guidance to make you a better individual and establish a more cohesive community. 
  The Bible is not just a book of spiritual guidance for an exclusive group of Jesus believers. But a primary, almost unknown role is equally God’s Word addressed to ALL nations worldwide. 
  All humans are ONE race, blood, body, and mind... one set of rules applies to one group of people. Evidence for Bible Wisdom helps you come out of twilight and darkness into the light of day. You’re a seeker of wisdom; this book will put you on the right track.

  The Neighboring Church - Getting...

  The simple practice of loving our neighbors has more power than the best professionally produced Sunday "show" in town. 
  After attending the "coolest" and fastest-growing church in town for a few months, Brian Mavis asked some of his neighbors if they would attend church with him. The neighbors said, "Thanks, but no thanks. We don't want to be part of an institutional church ... but we do want to know more about God, and we'd be happy to meet with you to learn more." So Brian began meeting with his neighbors in his home to share the love of God. 
  And there it is—the call for us as Christians to do what Jesus said matters most: 
  "Love the Lord your God with all your heart ... and love your neighbor as yourself" (Matthew 22:37–40). 
  But loving your neighbors is hard work, right? It's messy. It's unpredictable. It's time consuming. Jesus' two commands give rise to more angst, more wrestling, more failure, and more challenge than anything else you can try to do. And yet, following those two directions will bring more clarity, joy, and satisfaction to your life than anything you have ever experienced before. For the very first time, you will probably feel you are doing what God really called you to do as a Christian and as a church or ministry leader. 
  In The Neighboring Church authors Brian Mavis and Rick Rusaw explore the hows of loving your neighbors. After all, loving the Lord with all your heart and following his lead automatically means loving your neighbors, because he loves them so much. Brian says, 
  Neighboring is about teaching, encouraging, equipping, and releasing Christians to love their neighbors. I am compelled to be part of this movement because it is life-giving. It's the most creative way I know to follow Jesus. Besides, it's what he taught us to do. 
  And there it is again—the secret to doing what Jesus says matters most—the secret revealed in the book you hold. 
  It's always great to hear from practitioners and not just theoreticians. This book is flows from the life of a local church that is leaning into the neighborhoods that are represented in their congregation. Brian and Rick speak from experience and give a number of practical tools that will help anyone that is trying to learn how to love their neighbors and leading others to do the same. They show a way forward for believers to take the Great Commandment seriously and literally. - Jay Pathak, co-author, The Art of Neighboring

  The Dhammapada Vol01 - The Way...

  Osho

  The Dhammapada is a collection of sayings of the Gautama the Buddha in verse form and one of the most widely read and best known Buddhist scriptures. This is volume one of a 12-volume series of Osho Talks, where Osho brings Buddha's Dhammapada into the 21st century, opening them for a new understanding for contemporary mankind.
  In alternating chapters, Osho comments on specific sutras of Buddha and responds to questions from his audience, deepening the understanding of these timeless works. "My talking on Buddha is not just a commentary: It is creating a bridge. Buddha is one of the most important masters who has ever existed on the Earth - incomparable, unique."
  The setting of these talks is an open-air auditorium at the Osho International Meditation Resort in Pune, India. Osho and his audience sit surrounded by trees, and the elements of nature - the chirping of birds, wind, and the cracking bamboos as well as the distant sound of the local Pune-Mumbai morning train - are all parts of these recordings and give them a truly existential flavor.
  Osho employs his penetrating insight and wonderful humor to remove the dust of many misunderstandings gathered on Buddha's teachings and again emphasizes meditation over dogma, meditation being Buddha's greatest contribution to the development of human consciousness.
  "Buddha transformed the word meditation. Meditation had always been something of the mind, and Buddha brought a new quality, so totally new, diametrically opposite to the old meaning: He said meditation means a state of no mind. It is not concentration; it is not contemplation. It is not thinking; it is not thinking about God. It is not even prayer, because thinking is of the head, intellectual; prayer is emotional. That is another side of the head, not very far away from it - a different language used by another part of the head."
  Osho Talks are "meditating talks", allowing the listener an experience of meditation. "These words of Buddha come from eternal silence. They can reach you only if you receive them in silence."
