  Paradise of Presence -...

  Paradise of Presence is a journey through imagery and metaphysics — a guided exploration of the mystical world of Baha’u’llah, where cosmic conversations unfold, a celestial sun rises over creation, and a heavenly woman’s voice unravels and remakes reality itself. 
  This is not a textbook. Alison Elizabeth Marshall writes with narrative pace and intensity, and a natural rhythm to her prose that lends itself to being read aloud — leading listeners chapter by chapter through some of Baha’u’llah’s most visionary and demanding writings: the nature of divine love, what it might mean to meet God, and the spiritual freedom available once the noise of the mind quiets. 
  The audiobook closes with a full reading of one of Baha’u’llah’s most striking poems, “Praised be my Lord, the Most High,” brought to life through professional narration that lets its cadence and imagery land the way Baha’u’llah’s poetic voice was always meant to be heard. 
  Written for curious listeners as much as believers, this is an accessible doorway into a mystical tradition still largely unknown in the West, despite its claim to answer some of religion’s oldest expectations.

  Is it possible to be a Christian and a nurse at the same time? 
  When I first started out in my calling as a nurse, I thought the answer to that question was an easy "yes," but then as I walked the long halls of the hospital, I started to have questions:Is it ever okay to pray for a patient?Why do I feel so awkward asking for a chaplain?When death is real, does heaven have a place in the hospital? 
  I tried to find resources written by other Christian medical professionals to help me, but all I ever heard were statements on ethics and the legal repercussions of bringing "coercive" faith to the bedside. 
  Then I faced death myself in an ICU bed and learned that a lot of my fears were irrelevant in the Presence of the living God. And with that realization, I began to learn how God could make me a Christian and a nurse at the same time. 
  Facing death in an ICU bed is a high-risk education not everyone can afford, so I've collected the lessons learned during my journey in this book. These spiritual case studies can be used to help nurses bring their faith to work. 
  Discussion Questions included for small group study or personal growth.
