Beschreibung

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.

    A Mission-Field to Reach, Not an Enemy to Attack
    Pastor Caleb Campbell has watched as Christian nationalism has taken over large swaths of the United States. And he's suffered the relational fallout of standing against it, both in his community and his church.
    Campbell argues that while it's possible to be both a Christian and hold Christian nationalist ideas, Christian nationalism itself is an un-Christian worldview, rooted in ideas about power, race, and property that are irreconcilable with Christian faith. Campbell has come to see himself as a missionary to Christian nationalists, reaching out to them with the love and freedom found in Christ.
    Disarming Leviathan aims to:
    
    - provide a deeper understanding of the modern American Christian Nationalist movements and their relationship to American Evangelicalism.
    - explore reasons why so many of our loved ones are committed to it.
    - equip Jesus-followers with loving, hospitable methods for engaging American Christian Nationalists.
    - provide graciously subversive methods for responding to American Christian Nationalist rhetoric, beliefs, and practices.
    
    Christian nationalism has become an established feature of the American political landscape. With Disarming Leviathan, you can be prepared to confront it with compassion and hospitality, and with the truth of the good news of Jesus.

    Can the lonely thread of her life be woven into a new and finer pattern? 
     
    When Saoirse Fagan arrives at Drumboe Castle to start her new job as housemaid, she is dismayed to learn that the lord of the house passed away a week prior. Already running from the tragedy that claimed the lives of her family members, Saoirse wanders the road through the darkening glen with nowhere to go until Aileen McCready offers her a lift and a place to stay for the night.  
     
    Aileen's brother, sheep farmer and weaver Owen McCready, is known for his intricate and impeccably woven tweed. But when he's injured, his entire livelihood is endangered. A new--and distracting--mouth to feed adds fuel to the fire, and Owen struggles to keep his family afloat. Though Saoirse is eager to help, even offering to learn the weaving craft, Owen is hesitant to accept aid from this strange young woman, no matter how inexplicably magnetic he finds her.  
     
    But Saoirse is not one to give up easily. She's determined to convince the McCreadys that they need her--perhaps as much as she needs them.

    In 1837, Juniper Collins and her sisters are shocked by their father's deathbed request for them to return a special set of beads to a Piegan Blackfoot woman he credits with saving his life during his travels West. Together, the sisters set out for the trapper rendezvous to find the woman, but their mission turns more daunting when they come upon the mass of men and lodges spread out in the Green River Valley. 
     
    Riley Turner came West to find peace and quiet and live off the land, but when four unprotected women arrive at the rendezvous, he feels compelled to help them and is more fascinated by Juniper than any other woman he's known. 
     
    As their search brings only empty leads and dead ends, the sisters must decide whether to return East or stay in the mountains to continue looking--and that's if the mystery woman is even still alive. Is the risk to honor their father's last request worth the danger they find at every turn?

    Lorelei Collins possesses a soft heart for any animal in need, so when she finds a buffalo calf bawling beside its lifeless mother, she can't help but bring it home to raise on the ranch she and her sisters are building in the Rocky Mountain wilderness. Little does she realize that its white coloring is rare and considered sacred by Native Americans, which makes it highly valuable to them and European trappers alike. Men soon begin to visit their ranch to regard the marvel, with some trying to woo Lorelei into marriage and others trying to steal the calf outright.  
     
    When the men's advances become more sinister, Lorelei approaches Tanner Mason, the quiet and mysterious owner of the new trading post, with an idea: she and the calf will move to his post, along with her family's trusted Blackfoot friend. This will solve both their problems by bringing customers to his trade room and protecting her family from the trouble brought on by so many strangers. Yet as the danger travels with her, Lorelei and Tanner are faced with a threat greater than anything they're prepared for--one that will test the limits of their abilities and the love growing between them.
