Synopsis

Symbols of Faith explores the profound world of religious symbolism across diverse spiritual traditions. It delves into how these symbols shape belief, ritual, and religious experience, acting as a primary language of faith that communicates doctrines and shared identities. The book highlights the dual nature of symbols, showing their ability to represent complex theological concepts visually and evoke deep emotional and spiritual responses. For instance, the cross carries significance beyond its common interpretations, and the Star of David holds deeper meanings.

 
The book is structured in three parts, starting with core concepts in symbology and methodologies for interpreting symbols. It then moves to in-depth analyses of prominent symbols from Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and indigenous religions, examining their historical context, theological significance, and cultural variations.

 
Finally, it synthesizes these analyses to reveal universal themes and patterns, offering practical applications for interfaith dialogue and personal spiritual exploration. What sets this book apart is its interdisciplinary approach, emphasizing symbols as active agents in shaping religious experience, not just representations of abstract ideas. Symbols of Faith provides a framework for understanding and interpreting religious symbols, inviting readers to engage critically and form their own informed opinions.

    Winner of the ECPA Book of the Year Award for Christian LivingOver 100,000 Copies in PrintWhat is your calling as a parent? In the midst of folding laundry, coordinating carpool schedules, and breaking up fights, many parents get lost. Feeling pressure to do everything “right” and raise up “good” children, it’s easy to lose sight of our ultimate purpose as parents in the quest for practical tips and guaranteed formulas.  In this life-giving book, Paul Tripp offers parents much more than a to-do list. Instead, he presents us with a big-picture view of God’s plan for us as parents. Outlining fourteen foundational principles centered on the gospel, he shows that we need more than the latest parenting strategy or list of techniques. Rather, we need the rescuing grace of God―grace that has the power to shape how we view everything we do as parents.  Freed from the burden of trying to manufacture life-change in our children’s hearts, we can embrace a grand perspective of parenting overflowing with vision, purpose, and joy.

    Sometimes the world knocks us flat on our butt. 
     
     
     
    We feel stretched further than we ever thought physically, emotionally, or spiritually possible. And though we are torn up inside, we feel like we need to keep our chin up and put a good face on things. So we pretend that everything is fine, even though it's not. 
     
     
     
    Even in the hardest times, strength from God rises from deep in our soul to keep us going. In this honest, inspirational, and humorous book, Katie Schnack goes deep into the hard stuff of life with no sugar coating or toxic positivity to find sustenance she could not imagine. Faced with a child's medical challenges in the midst of a global pandemic, having strength to get up in the morning and actually enjoy the day was so unlikely that she knew it had to come from God. Schnack's plucky authenticity shows us how when life is complicated, self-compassion and humor can bring healing and life. 
     
     
     
    Everything Is (Not) Fine looks at the hard realities of life, but also gently reminds us of the good. Even in dark times, we can get glimpses of light.

    Much of your personal success hinges on the effectiveness of your personal communication skills. Whether or not new doors are opened to you may depend on how well you can meet one of life's most frustrating social challenges--starting and developing conversations with strangers, aka "small talk." Small talk is usually considered to be a light, pleasant, and safe verbal exchange, which allows people the time and association to get a sense of each other. It consists of introductions, exchange of personal information and interests when meeting new people and searching for a topic of mutual interest. According to Carol Fleming, conversationalist-extraordinaire, the business of small talk means: 
    -Bringing people together 
    -Facilitating understanding 
    -Finding friendships, building trust and maintaining relationships 
    -Developing your business 
    -Exposing you to different points of view 
    This book teaches you the concrete skills of social behavior, and promises to increase your understanding of what small talk is and what it does, while revealing the rituals and strategies for developing conversation. You may not think you have the "gift of gab," but Carol Fleming will convince you that you can master the fine art of small talk in all your business and social encounters.
