Sinopsis

Amazon River Spirituality explores the deep spiritual connection between Amazonian tribes and the river, viewing it as a sacred, life-giving entity rather than just a geographical feature. The book examines indigenous beliefs, practices, and ecological wisdom, revealing how nature deities influence daily life and cosmic understanding. It highlights the unique perspective of these cultures, offering insights into conservation, sustainability, and the interconnectedness of all living things. One intriguing aspect is how the river serves as both a physical lifeline and a spiritual pathway.

 
The book progresses in three parts, beginning with an introduction to the Amazon and its people. It moves on to explore the cosmology and mythology surrounding the river, focusing on nature deities and spirits. Finally, it examines ritual practices and ecological knowledge, demonstrating how spiritual beliefs translate into conservation efforts. The book argues that the spiritual worldview of indigenous tribes is intrinsically linked to the rainforest's ecological health. By combining ethnographic research with ecological insights, Amazon River Spirituality emphasizes the importance of indigenous knowledge for conservation.

Lent - The Season of Repentance...

Esau McCaulley

"Lent is inescapably about repenting." Every year, the church invites us into a season of repentance and fasting in preparation for Holy Week. It's an invitation to turn away from our sins and toward the mercy and grace of Christ. 
 
 
 
Often, though, we experience the Lenten fast as either a mindless ritual or self-improvement program. In this short volume, priest and scholar Esau McCaulley introduces the season of Lent, showing us how its prayers and rituals point us not just to our own sinfulness but also beyond it to our merciful Savior. 
 
 
 
Each volume in the Fullness of Time series invites audiences to engage with the riches of the church year, exploring the traditions, prayers, Scriptures, and rituals of the seasons of the church calendar.

HELL IS A BAD WORD - A Place of...

Michael Bahry

It is often said that “no one spoke more about hell than Jesus.” 
This book examines the words of the Savior of the World to see if that statement is true. 
What if the teaching that there is a place of never-ending punishment is the result of bad translations and bad interpretations of things Jesus said? 
And what if the teaching that there is a “hell” was not passed on by the original disciples? 
Is never-ending torment consistent with what Jesus said about love and forgiveness? 
What if Catholics and Protestants are both wrong; that hell is not a place of never-ending torment for everyone outside the Church? 
This book will bring you to a place of humility and peace about the topic of “hell.” 
You will no longer be burdened with worry about never ending punishment for people of other faiths or for loved ones who have died outside the Church. 
After this book, your focus will be on loving God and loving even your enemies. 
Undoubtedly, you will be compelled to share the very good news, that Jesus truly is the Savior of the world.
