  From Aristotle to Christ - How...

  Discover how Aristotelian thought has shaped Christianity through history and remains relevant for Christians today 
   
  When Christians of any age, country, or denomination debate the nature of the good life, the soul, free will, or design, Aristotle lies behind their logic as well as their rhetoric. Although Aristotle did not have access to the Bible's special revelation, he made full use of general revelation to arrive at deep truths about the nature of God, human identity, and the universe. 
   
  In a follow up to his well-loved book From Plato to Christ, renowned scholar Louis Markos takes us on a vigorous and celebratory journey through the work of Plato's greatest student, demonstrating Aristotle's often unacknowledged influence on the Christian faith. In Markos's hands, Aristotle is far from an irrelevant ancient philosopher but is instead an important conversation partner for some of history's greatest Christian thinkers and a thoughtful guide to today's most challenging questions. With this book, you'll consider the influence of Aristotle's thought on the Christian faith, carefully analyze several of Aristotle's best-known texts, trace Aristotle's influence upon many key theologians in Christian history, and understand Aristotle's continuing importance for Christians today.

  Christian Philosophy as a Way of...

  Philosophy is often seen as anything but practically relevant to everyday life. In this brief, accessible introduction, Ross Inman explores four hidden assumptions that lurk behind questions involving philosophy's relevance. He shows that philosophy is one of most practical subjects of study, for it satisfies our deep human need to make sense of it all. 
   
  This book recovers a more classical vision of Christian philosophy as an entire way of life. Inman shows that wonder is the distinctively human posture that drives and sustains the examined life and makes a compelling case that philosophy is valuable, practical, and significant for every aspect of Christian life and ministry. Living philosophically as a Christian enables us to be properly attuned to what is true and good in Christ and to orient our lives to the highest goals worth pursuing. 
   
  This is an ideal introductory book for students of philosophy, Christian thought, and worldview studies. It will also work well in classical school, high school, and homeschool contexts.

  The Divine Pastimes Of Lord...

  "O Lord Jagannatha, the crest jewel of the Niladri hill! O supreme Brahman in a wooden form! O dark-hued Lord Shyam! Please be merciful upon me." 
  Jagannatha, (Sanskrit: “Lord of the World”) is the form under which Krishna is worshipped at Puri, Orissa, India. The 12th-century temple of Jagannatha in Puri towers above the town. In its sanctuary, wooden images represent Jagannatha, his brother Balabhadra (Balarama), and his sister Subhadra. Although Krishna is absolute and transcendental to material nature, to accept the loving service of His devotees, He appears before us as the temple deity in the form of stone, metal, wood, or paint. Jagannatha is a wooden form of Krishna. Jagannatha is no one else but the ecstatic manifestation of Krishna, who appears in His most merciful form to help us go back to Godhead. Therefore, ISKCON founder Srila Prabhupada introduced the Jagannatha Rathayatra in many cities worldwide to uplift the conditioned souls from the spell of Maya (illusion).  
  Since Lord Jagannatha came to the western world in the mid-1960s millions have embraced the yoga of immersion in his divine pastimes. In this singular rare and unique audiobook, here is everything you need to know about the Bhakti yoga, traditions, and meditational practice of not only Jagannatha but also his brother, Baladev, and his younger sister, Suptra. Written and narrated by a fifty-year devotee of Lord Jagannatha (to whom his guru gave the same name, Sripad Jagannatha Dasa) this is the audiobook for anyone interested in the finer points of yogic philosophy, devotional yoga, and the ancient study of deep self-knowledge. A true treasure from this spiritual plane! Jai Jagannatha!

  When New York Times bestselling author Jon Acuff got curious about tapping into his full potential, he launched a research study with Dr. Mike Peasley. They asked more than three thousand people if they felt they were living up to their full potential. 
   
  Fifty percent of people reported that 50 percent of their full potential is untapped.  
   
  That means half of us are walking around with half-lives. No wonder Twitter is so grumpy. 
   
  Imagine if every Christmas you only opened up half your gifts. You could see the rest—a whole pile of them in the corner of the room—but you never got to open them. 
   
  Would that make for a happy Christmas, a happy house, a happy job, a happy anything? 
   
  It wouldn’t, but what if it didn’t have to be that way? 
   
  What if you could have a fulfilling career? 
  What if you could enjoy a thriving marriage and strong friendships? 
  What if you could be in the greatest shape of your life? 
  What if each day felt like a gift and each year progressively got better? 
  What if you could use a single piece of paper to learn from your past, enjoy your present, and prepare your future?  
  What if you could escape the Comfort Zone, avoid the Chaos Zone, and live inthe Potential Zone? 
   
  That would be the best. 
   
  And what if all it takes is a goal?

  Blessed Are the Rest of Us - How...

  Micha Boyett

  When Micha Boyett's son was born with Down syndrome and later diagnosed with autism, she was drawn into the ancient teachings of the Beatitudes. There, she found an invitation to honor her limits in a world that values performance, perfection, and strength. Jesus instead calls his followers to embrace meekness, mercy, and the longing for justice. The Beatitudes helped Boyett discover her wholeness in God's love rather than in her own accomplishments. 
   
   
   
  In Blessed Are the Rest of Us, Boyett shares her insights with listeners—especially those who are burned out, tired of performing, living with grief, feeling exhausted, or powerless. She invites them into an understanding of God and themselves centered on belovedness rather than accomplishment. Here is her message: in God's dream for the world, blessing has nothing to do with ease; it's about flourishing, and Jesus promises we find flourishing in our limits and in our longing to see the world made whole. Each chapter centers on the refreshing good news of one beatitude, poetically woven with stories of Boyett's life. 
   
   
   
  Beautifully reassuring and liberating, this book calls listeners to rest in God's rich and abundant love.
