Sinopsis

"Holy Twins" explores the fascinating prevalence of twin figures in religious myths across diverse cultures and throughout history. By examining these divine narratives, the book reveals how twin mythology reflects fundamental aspects of human existence, such as duality, balance, and the interplay between opposing forces. The book argues that these figures embody contradictory forces, representing the complex interplay between opposing principles. The study adopts a broad approach, drawing upon comparative mythology, anthropology, and religious studies to analyze the symbolic roles and archetypal functions of twins. Starting with an introduction to twin mythology, the book progresses to examine specific examples from Greek, Roman, Hindu, and Indigenous traditions. It uncovers the symbolic meanings associated with twins, such as creation, destruction, healing, and justice, providing insights into universal human concerns about identity, destiny, and the interconnectedness of life. This unique perspective identifies recurring patterns and symbolic meanings, rather than focusing on isolated myths. This approach makes "Holy Twins" a valuable resource for understanding cultural diversity and the shared values uniting humanity, offering a deeper appreciation of cultural heritage and beliefs.

    Who were the sons of God? Who were the Nephilim? Where do angels fit into the supernatural hierarchy? Why did God find it necessary to have the Israelites destroy the populations of entire cities man, woman, and child? What relation does Jesus bear to the rest of the supernatural world?  In Supernatural, Michael Heiser, tackles these questions and many more, based on his fifteen years of research into what the Bible really says about the unseen world. Heiser shines a light on the supernatural world—not a new light, but rather the same light the original, ancient readers and writers of Scripture would have seen it in.  You may never read the Bible the same way again.

    "For almost six decades Segal has quietly produced some of the best fiction and essays in American literature . . ." —The New York Times 
     
     
     
    Beloved New Yorker writer Lore Segal, at ninety-five years old, is a national treasure. Working at the height of her powers, in this story collection she turns her gimlet eye and compassionate humor on aging and life in the slow lane. 
     
     
     
    From the master of the short short comes a collection of sixteen new stories featuring old friends who have loved and lunched together for over forty years. These erudite, sharp-minded nonagenarians offer startling insights into friendship, family and aging. 
     
     
     
    Can the group organize a visit to one of their number in her new, and detested, assisted living situation? Is this a fabulous party with old friends, or a funeral reception? And does who was sleeping with whom, way back when, still matter? 
     
     
     
    In story after story, Segal's voice is always hilarious and urbane, heartbreaking and profound, keen and utterly unsentimental, as she tackles aging's affronts.

    The Missionary Kids - Unmasking...

    As sidekicks to their parents' and churches' ambitions, missionary kids (MKs) face questions many white Christians eventually ask: about God's calling, sacrifice, faith, privilege, racism, abuse, and what belonging means. In The Missionary Kids, Holly Berkley Fletcher reveals how MKs have intimate access to the movement's logic, longings, and ideals. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on her experience as a Southern Baptist MK in Kenya, on conversations with other missionary kids, and on the work of psychologists, historians, missiologists, and researchers, Fletcher paints an intricate portrait of family life on the front lines of the missionary movement. From boarding school to war zones, and from sexual assault by adult missionaries to fending for themselves so as not to distract from the work of the Lord, MKs bear the weight of their parents' choices and their churches' ideals. 
     
     
     
    For many years, few people sought out MKs' real voices. God had called their parents to do great things, so the kids were beside the point. But the children of missionaries are beneficiaries of evangelicalism's rewards and victims of its failings. 
     
     
     
    And now they are ready to talk.

    Too many of us are stuck on the treadmill of consumer spirituality, clinging to the illusion that we are in charge of our own spiritual growth and development. But the path of true transformation, according to Enneagram teacher Hunter Mobley, isn't in doing more, but in doing less—in letting go of control and adopting a contemplative posture that will naturally lead us to our true self. 
     
     
     
    Most of us focus our Enneagram work on trying to overcome the passion of our Enneagram number. Sometimes referred to as the "sin," this is the expression of our personality that habitually gets us into trouble and blocks us from growth. The lesser-known virtues, on the other hand, describe the God-image in us and are the best articulations of our true selves. The Enneagram mystery—hiding in plain sight—is that how we have come to know ourselves (reflected by our passion) is the opposite of who we truly are (which is reflected by our virtue). We don't have to struggle against our passion; we can simply let go and embrace the virtue that has always been at our center. 
     
     
     
    Letting Go, Finding You will show how a contemplative spiritual path, informed by the Enneagram, will allow you to finally stop striving after false promises and start surrendering to the truest version of yourself.
