Sinopse

Fasting Through Ages explores the historical and cultural significance of fasting, revealing its role beyond mere deprivation. The book argues that fasting has been a powerful force for spiritual transformation and social cohesion across diverse societies. From ancient rituals in Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and Hinduism to its modern use for health and wellness, fasting reflects shifting cultural values and scientific understanding. Did you know that fasting has also been used as a form of political protest and social control throughout history? The book progresses by first categorizing types of fasting practices across religious traditions, then analyzing its historical and social contexts, and finally examining the modern resurgence of intermittent fasting. It draws from ancient religious texts, historical chronicles, contemporary scientific studies, and anthropological field reports. By bridging ancient customs with contemporary practices, Fasting Through Ages offers a comprehensive overview of fasting's enduring appeal and its multifaceted impact on human lives.

  • The YOU Plan - A Christian Woman's Guide for a Happy Healthy Life After Divorce - cover

    You never thought divorce would happen to you. But it did. You may feel traumatized, relieved, hopeful, afraid, or all of the above. What choices will help you heal? How can you minimize the trauma for your kids? When is too soon to date…and what about sex? How can you learn from your mistakes instead of repeating them? And where is God in all of this? 
    Michelle and Connie have been where you are. They’re Christian women who are a little ahead of you on the journey. Michelle was divorced seven years and now is happily remarried. Connie is ten years into the journey and at peace with being single. They’ve each made good choices and their fair share of mistakes. In this book they rally their collective experience to help you navigate some of the twists and turns of the post-divorce journey, avoid pitfalls, and emerge stronger and more confident. 
    This is not one of those authoritative, “do as we say” tomes. It’s a woman-to-woman, been-there-done-that, faithful, and hopeful approach to such topics as acceptance, forgiveness, loneliness, online dating (or “CON-line dating”), sex, money, respect, finding friends, and caring for your physical, financial, and spiritual health. Most of all, it’s a powerful reassurance that no matter what has happened or what may happen next, God still has good plans for you. You will live and laugh and love again. This book can help you do it.

    See a Clearer Picture of Who God Really Is 
     
     
     
    Scripture is meant to reveal God to us, but sometimes it's hard for us to see Him there. What if all you needed was a new lens? 
     
     
     
    We often look to the Bible for advice on how to live, but when that becomes our focus, it's easy to miss the point of Scripture: to reveal God and His character to us. What does He want to tell us about Himself? 
     
     
     
    He describes Himself as the God of peace. The God who protects. The God of joy. These are truths we can lean on every day of our lives, but we miss the beautiful attributes of God when we look for only ourselves in our Bibles. 
     
     
     
    In this 100-day devotional, trusted Bible teacher Tara-Leigh Cobble explores powerful sections from each book of the New Testament. Each day's reading points toward a name or attribute of God from that passage. These snapshots are dense with theological truth, helping you grow in the truth of His character and rest in His goodness and kindness.

    Many of us embarked on our spiritual journeys filled with hope and certainty, only to find ourselves questioning the very foundation of our beliefs as life unfolded. The faith that once seemed unshakeable may falter in the face of broken trust, unanswered prayers, and the harsh realities of worldly suffering. But you're not alone—mid-faith crises are a shared human experience that can feel isolating yet are a crucial part of our spiritual journey. 
     
     
     
    In Mid-Faith Crisis, authors Catherine McNiel and Jason Hague provide a compassionate exploration of this challenging phase. With backgrounds in theology and personal narratives of their own spiritual upheavals, they guide listeners through the complex landscape of doubt and disillusionment. 
     
     
     
    Through storytelling and reflection, McNiel and Hague offer practices and disciplines that help reclaim what is genuine and discard what is not. They reassure us that the crisis of faith is not an endpoint but a transformative stage that can lead to a more sincere and robust belief system. If you're in the midst of a spiritual reevaluation, Mid-Faith Crisis will serve as a beacon of hope, reminding us that while the road may be rocky, the destination holds the promise of deeper faith and connection.
