Summary

The "Christian Omnibus" weaves an intricate tapestry of faith and theology through the profound thoughts and literary prowess of distinguished authors across the ages. Ranging from works that delve into the fervent personal spirituality of St. Teresa of Ávila, to the grand theological explorations reminiscent of Thomas Aquinas, this collection celebrates the rich diversity inherent in Christian thought and writing. Whether through the pious simplicity of Brother Lawrence's reflections, the philosophical inquiries of Friedrich Nietzsche, or the narrative power found in Fyodor Dostoevsky's tales, the anthology captures a multitude of perspectives that contribute to its overarching theme of spiritual strength and faith. The contributions hail from a spectrum of renowned thinkers and writers, each lending unique insight into the historical and cultural milieu that shaped their works. From the Reformation's indomitable spirit exemplified by Martin Luther, to the existential musings of Dostoevsky set against the backdrop of Imperial Russia, each voice represents a facet of the ongoing discourse on faith through time. The anthology's assembly of such diverse voices through history not only highlights the evolution of Christian thought but also presents a convergence of literary, philosophical, and theological ideals that define various movements in Western literature and belief. "The Strength of Faith - Christian Omnibus" is an essential read for those looking to deepen their understanding of the interplay between faith and literature. This collection is a treasure trove for anyone interested in exploring the rich dialogues that unfold between vastly different thinkers, showcasing the vast array of insights garnered from centuries of religious and philosophical contemplation. It invites readers to not only appreciate the artistic merit of these works but also to engage with the profound questions they raise, serving as both an educational journey and a catalyst for introspection on the resilient nature of faith in the human experience.

    There is a deepening crisis in mission as practiced by North American congregations.  Many mission activities are more effective at satisfying church members than making a lasting difference, producing what's too often consumer-oriented "selfie mission." Too much effort is based on colonial-era assumptions of mission launched from a position of power. These practices are not just ineffective—they deviate from mission in the way of Jesus.
Hunter Farrell and Bala Khyllep want to help free congregational mission from harmful cultural forces so churches can better partner with God's work in the world. They invite leaders to lay the foundation for more faithful and effective missions with three core elements:

- a Christ-centered theology of mission rooted in companionship
- an appetite and competence to engage across differences with cultural humility
- insights and strategies to accompany local and global neighbors in co-development
Farrell and Khyllep deliver key takeaways from the latest mission research, inspiring examples from innovative congregations, and a set of step-by-step tools for churches to discern and implement sound practices that will work for them. The local church community is well-positioned to build a spreading circle of relationships centered in Jesus Christ. With this book, congregations of every Christian tradition will find practical help to direct their resources in truly life-giving ways as they seek the mission of God.

    "Truth is a pathless land. Truth, being limitless cannot be organised, nor should any organisation be formed to lead people along any particular path. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organise a belief. I have now decided to disband  - The Order of the Star, as I happen to be its head. You can form other organisations and expect someone else. With that, I am not concerned, nor with creating new cages, new decorations for those cages. My only concern is to set man absolutely, unconditionally free."

Jiddu Krishnamurti mistrusted all religions and denounced the Eastern convention of deifying living spiritual masters. Refusing the role of the chosen one, he claimed that truth could not be approached by way of a teacher and that enlightenment rendered all belief systems equally and inherently useless. Helping others find their way in a pathless land became Krishnamurti's avowed mission.

    The Maccabee home was a happy one, but Mrs. Maccabee’s five sons were often losing things. “Mom, have you seen my spear?” one would say. “Your things don’t grow legs and walk away,” Mrs. Maccabee would sigh, pointing to the missing items. “Where you leave them is where they stay.” When her five sons go to war against the Greeks, Mrs. Maccabee’s lessons stay with them. Recalling their mom’s words, the brothers remember where they’d last seen the oil for the Temple menorah. A miracle indeed.
