Sinopse

Festival Calendars explores the rich tapestry of global celebrations, revealing how festivals are scheduled across diverse societies. It delves into the historical significance, astrological influences, and seasonal changes that shape these observances. The book highlights how societies commemorate historical events, such as national independence days or the birthdays of significant figures. It also examines how celestial events, like solstices and equinoxes, play a crucial role in determining festival dates, reflecting humanity's enduring fascination with the cosmos.

 
The book progresses through sections detailing historical events, astrological underpinnings, and seasonal roots of festivals. Each section uses global case studies to illustrate diverse traditions. Festival Calendars argues that these calendars aren't arbitrary, but carefully constructed systems reflecting a culture's worldview and relationship with its environment.

 
Understanding festival calendars offers insights into core values and beliefs, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in religion, history, and the intersection of culture and time.

An Introduction to the Theology and Themes of Philippians
"To live is Christ, and to die is gain" (Philippians 1:21). This bold and countercultural statement captures the central message of Philippians. In this New Testament letter, Paul offers practical advice for godly living and encourages believers to stay connected to the gospel amid hardship. Because the church shares in the sufferings of Christ, believers can experience joy even in suffering as they wait for the Lord to make all things new. 
In this volume of the New Testament Theology series, author Chris Bruno explores the theology and themes of Philippians and highlights how this letter fits into broader biblical theology. Through clear and engaging examinations, Bruno expounds on predominant themes—the church's union with Christ, the church as ambassadors of the kingdom, the gospel proclaimed and opposed, the hope of life with Christ, and suffering with joy. 

- For Those Interested in Biblical Theology: Ideal for college and seminary students, pastors, and professors 
- Helpful Bible Study Resource: A great companion to commentaries on Philippians 
- Part of the New Testament Theology Series: Other volumes include Ministry in the New Realm; United to Christ, Walking in the Spirit; and more

Summer Anderson has the perfect life—designing toys and traveling the world—until the venture capitalist company Mumford’s Sons helps her dad sell his toy company to the highest bidder. Summer loses her designs, her job, and her lifestyle and is forced to work for a friend in Crested Butte, Colorado. 
Chance Judd, owner of Mumford’s Sons, takes a mountain-biking trip to Crested Butte and accidentally runs Summer off a running trail. He asks her out repeatedly, but she always has a sarcastic response ready for him. When he finally convinces her to go to dinner, he realizes that he is partly responsible for her losing her job and designs and knows she’ll hate him if she finds out the truth. He has no choice—he lies. 
But how long can a secret this big stay hidden, and will Summer ever forgive him when she finds out the truth?

In sending forth a new collection of Hymns, I feel it necessary to preface the work by a few words of explanation.  The volume now in the reader's hands does not profess to be a complete collection of all the best English hymns. The comfort of invalids and the edification of Christians in private have been the two principal objects I have had in view in preparing this collection.  I hold strongly, that holy thoughts often abide for ever in men's memories under the form of poetry, which pass away and are forgotten under the form of prose.  The subjects of the hymns in this collection are of wide range.  I have specially endeavored to include those which come home to the hearts of all true Christians, of every name, and people, and tongue.  Hymns full of Jesus Christ, whether living, dying, rising, interceding, sympathizing, or coming again, -- hymns full of the experience of believers, their conflicts, crosses, hopes, fears, sorrows, and joys, -- such hymns are always useful.  Of such, the Church can never have too many.  Of such, I venture to think the present volume contains a rich store. (From the Preface)

A remarkable vision for how Christians can live with countercultural gentleness in a perpetually angry, attacking, outraged time. 
“Wow! What a great book!" -- Max Lucado 
In a defensive and divided era, how can followers of Jesus reveal a better way of living, one that loves others as God loves us? How can Christians be the kind of people who are known, as Proverbs puts it, to "turn away wrath?" Scott Sauls's compelling new audiobook points the way by helping listeners:grow in affection for Christ, who answers our hostility with gentleness;nurture a renewed, softened heart in light of Christ's gentleness toward us;and forsake us-against-them mentalities, putting down our swords, and permeating a hostile world with gentleness. 
For those who long for a more civil way of being, A Gentle Answer provides an inspiring and transformative path for countercultural gentleness in our perpetually angry, attacking, outraged time. 
Reflection questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download. 
“I can’t think of a more needed and timely book.”

“Reminds us of the essential and needed attribute of gentleness in a world steeped in outrage and cancel culture.” 
—Dr. Bryan Loritts, author of The Dad Difference 
“An urgent book for our fractured times.”
