  Jesus: The First and the Last...

  'OSHO SINGLE': This is a short audio talk by Osho, selected from one of the many series of Osho Talks to listeners from around the world.
  The word Christ came into existence 300 years after Jesus; and out of the word Christ developed Christian and Christianity. While Friedrich Nietzsche stated that Christ was the last Christian, according to Osho, Jesus was not only the last Christian, but he was also the first Christian–the first and the last Christian, because in this world no individual is ever repeated.
  In this talk, Osho dives into the unknown history of Jesus and early Christianity in India, which he describes as the oldest in the world. The Vatican is a late development. Like a lecture in comparative religion, Osho presents Christianity in a wider context of Hinduism, Buddhism, and even Zen.

  Making Peace with What I Can’t...

  #1 New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst offers a life-giving alternative to the exhausting madness of trying to change people who don't want to be changed, prevent outcomes we fear, and manage things outside of our control. 
  It's not that we want to be controlling people; it's just that we want to prevent bad things from happening and bring stability to the chaos. Especially when we are afraid of what God seems to be allowing. So we come up with plans and get very intentional about trying to make everyone around us line up with what we really think is best. 
  We don't have bad motives. We're just desperate to prevent another hardship, more heartbreak, and all the emotional turmoil that feels so unnecessary. But this only leads to a counterfeit version of control where we believe everything depends on us--a crushing weight we were never meant to bear. 
  In this book, Lysa TerKeurst addresses the tension so many of us live in, where it seems like the Lord isn't paying attention and the only reasonable option is to take matters into our own hands. She shows us how to:Identify the core fears that fuel us to reach for control but only compound the chaos.Know when we're crossing the line from healthy responsibility into the dangerous territory of fear-driven control.Recognize specific tactics of the enemy that keep us in spiritual confusion (about God) fueled by emotional exhaustion (from the relentlessness of life).Stop allowing the decisions of others to rob our peace by learning what to do when we feel tempted to inappropriately intervene, rescue, or control the narrative.Wrestle honestly with the Lord about hard questions like, Why aren't You doing more to change this person or these circumstances? and I didn't see You do it then, so how do I know You'll do it now?

  Sonja Wood breathes new life into the powerful message shared by Amy Carmichael in her book, Lotus Buds. 
  “Lotus Buds” by Amy Wilson-Carmichael is a memoir written in the early 20th century, recounting the experiences of the author in her work with children in South India. The narrative focuses on the lives of vulnerable children, particularly those at risk of being dedicated to temples, and explores themes of love, faith, and redemption. Key characters include Bala, a serious and introspective child, and Chellalu, a vivacious and carefree spirit, showcasing the contrasting personalities of the children in Carmichael’s care. At the start of “Lotus Buds,” the author introduces a serene lotus pool near an ancient temple in Southern India, symbolizing the innocent beauty of the children she serves. This tranquil scene is abruptly contrasted by the harsh reality of the children’s potential fates as temple sacrifices. Carmichael reflects on her encounters with both the lotus flowers and the children, emphasizing their sacredness and inherent value as belonging to God. The narrative then shifts focus to specific children like Bala and Chellalu, highlighting their unique characteristics and experiences that shape their lives while under the author’s guidance in the nursery. This opening presents the reader with a poignant introduction to the themes of caretaking and the spiritual struggle against the societal norms that put these children at risk.

  Spurgeon’s Forgotten Sabbatarianism seeks to document Charles Spurgeon’s teaching and practice on the Christian Sabbath. By looking at his biography through his Sunday activities, the reader will see how Spurgeon believed Sabbath observance required laboring for the Lord through worship, preaching, singing, evangelism, Sunday School ministry, and private devotion. Furthermore, the book shows Spurgeon’s adherence to the Second London Confession of Faith’s articles on the law of God and the Christian Sabbath. He held to the tripartite division of the law and taught all men to obey the moral law which includes the 4th commandment. Rather than seeing the Sabbath as a legalistic burden, he encouraged Christians to observe it with joy while looking with eyes of faith to the eternal Sabbath to come.

  Let It Go - A Conversation with...

  It is so noisy outside. Every day, new voices tell you how to live, what to fix, and how to do better. A new book promises to teach you the next solution almost every week. But this is not that kind of book. 
  Let It Go is not a manual. It is a reminder, a mirror that shows you your most important resources are already inside you. It is a gentle call to return home to yourself. 
  For years, author Crina Okumus believed success meant running faster, working harder, and chasing money. She built businesses, achieved much, and yet felt empty until the moment everything stopped. In silence, she asked: Who am I really, and how can I truly help? 
  During meditation, with only a notebook and a pen, she surrendered, and the words came. For three months she wrote without stopping. What poured out became this book: a record of her journey through fear, darkness, and doubt, and her awakening into a deeper truth. 
  The book is divided into two parts: 
  •⁠  ⁠A raw and intimate conversation with God, flowing from the deepest places of the heart. 
  •⁠  ⁠Practical, soul-guiding chapters drawn from Crina’s path, steps that helped her remember her hidden superpower and the magic within. 
  Inside you will discover: 
  •⁠  ⁠The fall that wakes you, and how fear can become your teacher. 
  •⁠  ⁠How to embrace your inner beauty and feminine power. 
  •⁠  ⁠The courage to listen deeply to your soul, life, and God. 
  •⁠  ⁠Money as a mirror, one of our most excellent teachers. 
  •⁠  ⁠Why the right tools only find you when you are truly ready. 
  •⁠  ⁠And, most of all, that beyond every storm there is only love and the Source. 
  At the end, Crina offers guiding questions to help you integrate the journey into your own life, so this book becomes her story and yours. 
  Let It Go is not here to teach you how to become someone else. It is here to remind you of who you are.
