Sinopsis

THIS WORLD OF OURS is a world of opposites. There is light and shade, there is heat and cold, there is good and evil, there is God and the Devil. This massive work presents a history of evil and its various personifications throughout the centuries. The research which author conducted is of commendable depth and breadth, and the author recasts an anthropomorphic demon as the ultimate symbol of the potential for evil within humans themselves. This is a history book of some repute, and recommended for those who have an interest in the principles of good and evil as well as their etiologies.

    God's Passion For Perishing Souls

    Jehovah God has never left us in doubt about his love for humanity. In spite of man's penchant for going against His will and commandments. God's abiding desire to rescue us from eternal perdition which we brought upon ourselves has never waned. And because of His mercies for human beings, God sent Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son to rescue perishing souls. He purchased our deliverance with His own blood. What greater expression of love could be portrayed than the Redeemer laying down His life for a rebellious race? This book, GOD'S PASSION FOR THE PERISHING SOULS, is about the wonderful love and passion of God. I urge every reader to read this book prayerfully and receive the power to accept and embrace God's love and grace which He has continually offered and still offering today for the salvation of our souls.

    What if Jesus were not a supernatural being conceived by a virgin but a real human being who had experienced the awakening of consciousness known as "enlightenment" in the East? This extraordinary line-by-line commentary on some of the best-known New Testament Gospels from Matthew and John tests the hypothesis that Jesus was a mystic, not a miracle worker of supernatural origin. Osho convincingly makes the case that the stories of Jesus' life were never meant to be a factual record of history but rather are teaching parables designed to provide ongoing spiritual guidance for generations to come.
    I Say unto You introduces a dynamic, compassionate, intelligent, loving Jesus who speaks in a plain and simple way that everyone can understand. Osho looks with a crystal-clear perception at Jesus' work, revealing the parables and miracles as metaphors of the inner world. He gives insight into Jesus' own search and his journeys to the ancient mystery schools of Egypt, Kashmir, and Tibet that transformed him into one of the most evolved masters of the paths of love and meditation. His insights are so relevant for today's societies, where the sharp functioning of the mind is more valued than the intelligence of the heart.
    A fascinating series of talks in which Osho gives his own interpretation of some of the most important phrases and parabolas of Jesus. He introduces us to a Jesus seen through the eyes of awareness and consciousness.

    The history of the Episcopal Church is intimately bound up with the history of empire. The two grew in tandem in the modern era, and as they grew they developed particular ideologies and practices around race. As slavery was carried over into the new political formations of the United States, so too were racially based exclusions carried over in the Episcopal Church. 
     
     
     
    Mission, Race, and Empire presents a new history of the Episcopal Church from its origins in the early British Empire up to the present, told through the lenses of empire and race. The book demonstrates the dramatic shifts within the Episcopal Church, from initial colonial violence to reflective self-critique. Jennifer Snow centers the stories of groups and individuals that have often been sidelined, including Native Americans, Black Americans, Asian Americans, women, and LGBTQ people, as well as the institutional leaders who sought to create, or fought against, a church that desired to be a house of prayer for all people.
