Sinopse

Traditional Blessings delves into the global phenomenon of blessings, exploring their diverse forms and profound impact across cultures. From ancient invocations to modern-day rituals, the book examines how blessings fulfill the human need for prosperity, protection, and connection to the divine. One intriguing fact is how early societies directed blessings at natural forces, reflecting animistic beliefs. Another insight reveals how blessings have been integrated into organized religions, mirroring increasingly complex social structures.

 
The book progresses systematically, first introducing core concepts and then examining spoken, ceremonial, and object-based blessings in three major sections. By analyzing prayers, rituals associated with life transitions, and the use of amulets, the author reveals the underlying principles uniting these seemingly disparate practices. This approach offers a unique perspective, moving beyond theological or anthropological views to identify universal patterns in bestowing blessings.

 
Ultimately, Traditional Blessings argues that these practices reveal a universal human desire for hope and meaning. The book emphasizes how understanding these traditions can foster cross-cultural awareness and appreciation for different expressions of goodwill, making it a valuable resource for those interested in world history, religion, and cultural studies.

Abandonment to Divine Providence - How to Fulfill Your Daily Duties with God-given Purpose - cover

"Let go and let God." This popular phrase captures the essence of Father Jean-Pierre de Caussade's 18th century treatise on trust, Abandonment to Divine Providence. 
Do you doubt? Do you suffer? Are you anxious about the trials of life? 
Father de Caussade offers the one sure solution to any spiritual difficulty: abandon yourself entirely to God by embracing the duties of your station in life. With wisdom and gentleness he teaches how to practice complete submission to the will of God in every situation, whether we are beginners or seasoned travelers on the way of perfection. True abandonment, he explains, is a trusting, peaceful, and childlike surrender to the guidance of grace.

The Home of God - A Brief Story...

Miroslav Volf, Ryan McAnnally-Linz

We live in the midst of a crisis of home. It is evident in the massive uprooting and migration of millions across the globe, in the anxious nationalism awaiting immigrants in their destinations, in the unhoused populations in wealthy cities, in the fractured households of families, and in the worldwide destruction of habitats and international struggles for dominance. It is evident, perhaps more quietly but just as truly, in the aching sense that there is nowhere we truly belong. 
 
 
 
In this moment, the Christian faith has been disappointingly inept in its response. We need a better witness to the God who created, loves, and reconciles this world, who comes to dwell among us. 
 
 
 
This book tells the "story of everything" in which God creates the world as the home for humans and for God in communion with God's creatures. The authors render the story of creation, redemption, and consummation through the lens of God's homemaking work and show the theological fruit of telling the story this way. The result is a vision that can inspire creative Christian living in our various homes today in faithfulness to God's ongoing work.

"Mysticism and Logic" is a collection of essays by Bertrand Russell that explores the relationship between mysticism and logic. Russell examines the nature of religious experience, arguing that mystical experiences are not beyond the reach of rational inquiry. He also discusses the nature of language and how it shapes our understanding of the world. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on mysticism and the second part on logic. Russell's writing is clear and accessible, making complex philosophical ideas easy to understand for readers. Overall, "Mysticism and Logic" is an engaging exploration of the intersection of two seemingly disparate fields of study. Read in English, unabridged.

Mere Sexuality - Rediscovering...

What do Christians believe about human sexuality? 
In Mere Sexuality, author and pastor Todd Wilson presents the historic Christian consensus about human sexuality, the Great Tradition of the church for centuries as taught in each of its major expressions - Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant. Wilson highlights the stunning shift of opinion on issues of sexuality in the evangelical church and why this break with the historic church is problematic for the future of Christianity. Along the way he provides ordinary believers with an introduction to the historic Christian vision of sexuality, yet does so in conversation with some of the twenty-first century’s leading challenges to this vision. 
In a culture that is deeply confused about human sexuality, Wilson believes it is time for evangelicals to retrieve the historic Christian tradition and biblical teaching on the question of sexuality. Mere Sexuality seeks to guide readers back to the beauty and coherence of this vision of sexuality in the face of an aggressive and all-consuming pagan and secular worldview.

Notes After Terawih

‘Tarawih’ (Arabic) comes from the root word that means to take a rest, and take rest I did.Notes After Terawih is a series of word sketches I drew based on my distracted observation during night prayers, or terawih prayers, done in a single mosque during Ramadhan. Thousands of us here in Singapore engage in terawih for thirty nights in a row – that’s a huge multitude of experiences. Yet, all these experiences are tucked within the walls of the mosque and ultimately remain in Ramadhan... As a new kid in this terawih thing, I decided to take some notes. None of these were written on the spot. Instead, they were recalled and typed on my phone as I headed home for the night.
