Sinopsis

Fire Symbols explores humanity's enduring fascination with fire, examining its symbolic role in religion, spirituality, and cultural practices worldwide. The book delves into how fire, beyond its practical uses, has become deeply intertwined with concepts of purification, transformation, and the divine. Readers will discover how ancient rituals utilized fire to connect with the supernatural and how major religious texts, such as the Bible and the Quran, depict fire as a symbol of both divine power and destructive judgment.This exploration unfolds across chapters that illuminate the ritual use of fire, its symbolic representation in religious texts, and its connection to purification and divine presence. The book uniquely combines insights from cultural anthropology, comparative religion, and mythology to reveal both the common threads and cultural specificities in fire's symbolism. By examining practices like sacrificial offerings and ceremonial burnings, Fire Symbols shows how fire reflects our fundamental relationship with the natural world and our search for meaning.Ultimately, Fire Symbols offers a comprehensive look at fire as a universal symbol that shapes belief systems and spiritual practices. It emphasizes the enduring power of symbols, offering valuable insights for those interested in religious studies, cultural analysis, and the human experience. The book progresses from fire's initial impact on human societies to its complex symbolism in major religious traditions, culminating in a discussion of its connection to purification and divine presence.

    She's had a crush on him for decades. He's finally in a place where he feels ready to date the boss's daughter. Can Cord and Jane take their relationship to the next level without getting burned? 
    Jane Hammond has grown and matured a lot over the years. So much so that she's now working in the accounting department at the massive family company in downtown Denver. But she's living on her family's farm, which her older brother now owns. Her father lives in the generational house, and he still has his eye on Jane's wild streak. 
    That, and that alone, has kept her from pursuing Cord Behr, the cowboy who's worked her daddy's farm for fifteen years. 
    Cord has secrets no one knows but Jane's father. The man took him in when he shouldn't have, and he's loved Cord as a son, guided him, and taught him. Cord won't do anything to upset Gray Hammond - but his feelings for the man's daughter have been growing and growing since her return to the farm. 
    And she's an adult now... 
    So when her cousin gets married, Cord makes his move and asks Jane to dance. The spark is hotter than ever now that it's been uncovered, but they have a long way to go to build happily-ever-after. Can she make her father see she's not fourteen years old anymore? And will it even matter if Cord can't tell her the truth about his past?

    We love God. We love our country. What does it look like to love each properly and well?National tensions are at a record high. People on all points in the political spectrum care deeply about their country, although they differ wildly in their opinions about what it looks like to serve that country well. As Christians, we love God and seek to follow him. At the same time, nothing shapes us and tugs at our loyalties quite like the place we live. And of course we are regularly encouraged to pledge our allegiance to our country―or particular understandings of it. Who wins when the priorities of God and our country clash?In Kingdom and Country, a collection of leading Christian thinkers and practitioners take a holistic approach to considering the questions of patriotism, nationalism, and where our ultimate loyalties must like. Contributors include Alejandro Mandes, Juliet Liu, Ryan Tafilowski, Derek Vreeland, Rod Wilson, Michelle Reyes, Amanda Smith, Karen Wilk, Sean Palmer, and Tina BoeschKingdom and Country is the second in a series of Kingdom Conversations, books that bring together trusted Christian voices to address some of the most urgent and perplexing challenges of our time in timeless and redemptive ways.

    How do I humble myself? Humility, according to the Bible, is not something we can just up and do. Both the negative and positive examples of Scripture—from Pharaoh to Rehoboam, from Josiah to Ahab, from Hezekiah to Manasseh, and even to Christ himself—teach us that humility first comes from the hand of God. He initiates the humbling of his creatures. And once he has, the question confronts us: Will you receive it? Will you humble yourself in response to his humbling hand, or will you kick against him? This concise, accessible study of Scripture’s humble-self language uncovers two surprising lessons about the pursuit of humility in the Christian—both what we cannot do and also what steps we can take.

    What could lead a little fellow to set a putt-putt course on fire or host a keg party at his parents’ house during high school (when his father was a prominent pastor in town) or defy all odds and become perhaps a combination of the smallest and slowest starting wide receiver in major college football history? And how did that youngster eventually become an NFL agent by accident, meeting his future wife on a steamy asphalt parking lot with a “Hey, what’s your name?” yelled across that same parking lot by way of introduction and then having his heart radically transformed by the birth of his first child, Hannah, before raising three more children? And how could this same man possibly handle the news that his beloved daughter was dying? And more so, once she died, would it ever be possible for him to find healing?  
    Join Phil Williams on his journey as he weaves humorous, heartwarming, and intriguing stories from birth until fatherhood, and then walk with him on the most painful path a parent could ever navigate, all of which leads him to what he would call the only journey worth taking: the journey to discover what this life is really all about and who we really are.  
    If you like stories that leave you smiling and crying and laughing and anticipating the next one, dig in. But, no matter how much you might anticipate the next story, nothing will prepare you for the climax of this deeply emotional tale of a man and his daughter and the deeper search for meaning and truth.

    In Christ and Conquest, Old Testament scholar George M. Schwab explores the meaning of the biblical book of Joshua and how it connects to the Gospels’ portrayal of Christ and to Christians today.For each section of the book of Joshua, the author asks: What would the described events have meant in the time of Joshua? What was the historical situation? How does each section warn, encourage, exhort, and teach? What would the book have meant to the Israelites during the time of the exile?The book also discusses such questions as: How does this text advance the gospel of Jesus Christ? How is it fulfilled in him? How does it anticipate his work? How does the book of Joshua lead the reader to draw closer to Jesus, and serve him with more knowledge and fidelity? What does it say to the church today? How does it yearn for the end of all things? How does it offer hope?Written in a conversational and even sometimes humorous manner, Christ and Conquest brings a fresh Christian perspective to the book of Joshua.Accessible biblical-theological presentation that interacts with the Hebrew textAnalysis enables non-Hebrew readers to understand and use Hebrew wordsDelves with some depth into critical issuesAn honest, authentic, and devotional read of Joshua accessible to lay Christians
