  Just before she died of brain cancer in April 2020, Macrina Wiederkehr gifted her friend and coauthor Joyce Rupp with one of the many journals she kept over the years where she reflected on scripture and her own spirituality. Rupp writes in the foreword for Open Wide My Heart, “I observed certain currents of yearning and faithfulness that remained throughout the decades: a thirst for an ever-fuller relationship with the Holy One; a tremendous respect for scripture as an incentive for spiritual transformation; a recognition of not being all she hoped to be regarding her inner growth; and a continual return to a belief in her essential goodness.”That is the essence of Open Wide My Heart, which pulls together two years of personal reflections by Wiederkehr, a beloved spiritual author, popular retreat leader, and Benedictine sister. These brief yet poignant writings serve as guideposts as you begin or deepen your scripture study and offer gentle direction for your faith and a better understanding of daily life.Wiederkehr also shares nuggets of spiritual wisdom she gained in her reading, includingexperiencing God in the everyday;living fully present in the moment; andaccepting the grace that comes from God, other people in your life, and the world around you.  Open Wide My Heart is an invitation to learn from a bestselling spiritual writer’s practice and witness her deeply meditative approach to scripture and life. In the process, you can grow in confidence in your own scripture reading.

  God The Woman And Their Enemy

  God, the Woman, and Their Enemy is a thought-provoking exploration of gender, power, and prophecy, offering a fresh perspective on the role of women in the divine narrative. Author Joseph Brice challenges listeners to reconsider traditional interpretations and to recognize the pivotal role women will play in the ultimate battle between good and evil, as foretold in the scriptures. 
  Joseph traces the historical subjugation of women back to the fall of Eden, where they were blamed and held responsible, leading to a loss of their original authority. However, he asserts that with Christ's death, through his blood and resurrection, both men and women were restored to their rightful places, intended to work together in unity. Yet, sin disrupted this divine order, leading to division, strife, and even the institution of slavery. 
  The prophecy in Eden, where God foretold a future in which the woman's offspring would crush the serpent's head, is re-examined in this book to highlight the woman's role in the cosmic battle between good and evil. As Joseph explores prophetic scriptures, particularly in the Book of Revelation, he foresees a time in the last days when women will be fully restored to a position of extraordinary power. 
  The book contends that this woman's rise to power is inevitable, a culmination of her trials and tribulations throughout history. Once considered second-class, she will now move to the forefront, fulfilling the prophecy in Revelation where she is destined to sit on the throne. Her power and glory will be unparalleled, marking a turning point in the world's history. At the heart of Joseph's argument is the idea of a woman unlike any other—a woman of mixed race, creed, and culture, who embodies the ancient and modern world all at once. This woman, described in prophetic terms, will rise to a position of unprecedented power and influence, becoming the most powerful being on the planet!

  Yin Mysticism - And the Vesica...

  Yin, a paradoxical, still, dark, chaotic, and unknowable principal. The oft forgotten counterpart to Yang, Yin is among the most mystical topics yet also the most difficult to describe. It has so many taboo, confusing, and paradoxical aspects. Yet, in its darkness lies the source of action, success, and meaning. Hidden in Yin life phases, experiences, and events is something secret and abundant. Through a Yin path, one can achieve huge outcomes by doing nothing. One can win by yielding and garner support by listening. One can manifest by waiting, impact through silence, and be strong through weakness. In other words, the Yin ways are the forgotten methods of moving receptively through life, begetting huge abundance with little effort. However, through thousands of years of Yang domination, only the Yang, active, and masculine methods of accomplishment have survived as the sole path to success. How can we tap into the mystical, powerful, and hidden strategies latent in a Yin way of doing and seeing things? The famous Taoist sage, Lao Tzu, advised to “know the male but keep to the female.” His words indicated that if a sage could keep to the receptive and Yin path, then there is nothing he cannot do. Yin is the paradoxical headwaters of all manifestation, and by aligning ourselves with Yin methods we can, like ancient masters, siphon abundance from a Yin and Yang world. Yin Mysticism is an ontological treatise and hypothesis on the unknowable and dark half of all things: the wu-wei-like tactics for aligning with Yin.

  Did Jesus rise from the dead? This book explores the miracle at the heart of the Christian faith.  The resurrection of Jesus from the dead is an extraordinary thing to believe. Such a supernatural event is the stuff of make-believe, many think. Yet millions of Christians around the world believe that Jesus' resurrection was a real, historical event. Indeed, "if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith" and Christians are "of all people most to be pitied." (1 Corinthians 15)  In this concise book, respected apologist Rebecca McLaughlin outlines the evidence that Jesus really did rise from the dead and why it's the best news ever.
