The Mysticism of Being Here with...

John Danvers

In this course John Danvers presents a personal view about mysticism, what he calls ‘the mysticism of being-here’ – a particular interpretation of mysticism that differs from many of the more orthodox views. While many approaches to mysticism focus on the aspiration of mystics to enter states of transcendence and ‘supernatural’ states of consciousness, his approach focuses on the aspiration of mystics to be fully present to each moment of existence, to enter the mystery and miraculous nature of this life. 
John draws on the writings of a wide range of mystics, and on commentaries by other authors who have addressed different aspects of mysticism; these include: Teresa of Avila, Jacob Boehme, the anonymous author of The Cloud of Unknowing, Meister Eckhart, Martin Heidegger, Thomas Merton, Baruch Spinoza and a number of Buddhist teachers. He also discusses examples of poetry and other writings that manifest the distinctive qualities of the mysticism of being-here. 
John Danvers has over fifty-five years’ experience of Zen meditation. He has no affiliation to any particular school or tradition. Whilst he has learned a great deal from historical teachers and from people he has met over the years, both Buddhist and non-Buddhist, experience has been his main teacher – especially the experience of zazen – Zen sitting meditation, which he began in 1965. 
For seven years he practiced zazen alone, sitting for long hours and studying what texts he could find. In the early 1970s he undertook retreats at Throssel Hole Priory in Northumberland (a Soto Zen centre), and around 1975 he had some direct teaching from a Japanese Soto Zen monk who was travelling in the UK. Since then, he has guided retreats, workshops and seminars, and has undertaken other retreats, including with Thich Nhat Hanh in 2012.

Hope Breaks Through - How to See...

Heath Adamson

Hopelessness is everywhere. It doesn't discriminate. It's a form of spiritual poverty lurking in remote villages, destitute refugee camps, suburban homes, and corner offices. The sheer magnitude of the needs we see can paralyze us, harden our hearts, and tempt us to choose indifference. 
 
 
 
But when we lose hope, we surrender both our earthly influence and our spiritual inheritance. With rich biblical teaching and remarkable stories, Heath Adamson invites you to exchange what is with what could be. The hope he writes of isn't wishful thinking. It's a biblical, transformative, future-focused force that breaks through our circumstances, and makes it possible for us to work alongside God to affect meaningful change. 
 
 
 
If you have been discouraged or overwhelmed, you are not alone. By seeing beyond your life, you will discover how true hope can change your mindset and reignite your passion to serve others.

James

Shiela Klassen-Wiebe

The letter of James delivers a clear message: faith in Jesus Christ must shape how we live. James calls individual believers and the church to live with integrity, ensuring that belief and knowledge are reflected in words and actions. Although the letter is sometimes perceived as disjointed pieces of advice, this commentary contends that James has a coherent message intended to prod the church toward greater faithfulness and to encourage people to follow Jesus in all of life. The intensely practical letter is not merely a checklist of rules to follow to be “good people.” Rather, it is rooted in God’s grace, goodness, and generosity and in the good news that we are made new through the word of truth.In this 38th volume in the Believers Church Bible Commentary series, scholar Sheila Klassen-Wiebe interprets the letter of James with a view to its original Jewish Christian readers, its place in the broader biblical story, and its continued resonance today.About the Believers Church Bible Commentary seriesThis readable commentary series is for all who seek more fully to understand the original message of Scripture and its meaning for today—Sunday school teachers, members of Bible study groups, students, pastors, and other seekers.—From the Series Foreword

The Vermilion Riddle

Dana Li

  
“To enter Faerie’s blessed demesne 
four secrets must be found: 
the land unbound by time and space 
opens only to the one who knows 
the Light, the Song, and Mortal Gate.” 
  
In the sheltered town of Carmel, women do not have a future outside of a good marriage. That future is threatened when Leah Edwards’ father gambles away the family’s livelihood and estate. She and her sisters must hurry to find husbands. Then August Fox, a Guardian from Cariath, comes to town and purchases a supposedly haunted manor. Charged to keep the peace between mortals and Faerie, the Guardians are the stuff of legend. After he stuns her with a marriage proposal, Leah reluctantly journeys to Cariath, discovering there is more to August and the legends than she guessed. 
  
Nimrod and his Oath-breakers betrayed the Guardians, seeking to solve an ancient riddle that would unlock the Faerie realm. Not all his followers share his desire for conquest. Benedict Fox, his second-in-command, has different motives. But as he continues fulfilling Nimrod’s plan, Benedict hurtles towards a choice between saving his family and settling a personal vendetta. 
  
For Leah, August, and their allies, it is a race against time to solve the ancient riddle before the Oath-breakers, and reunite the Guardians to save the mortal realm. The war is never really over, and this time, the battle lines cut through blood ties and brotherhood.

Straight to the Heart -...

Daniel Blackaby, Michael Blackaby

Our approach to apologetics needs to change when the very idea of “truth” is controversial. But as authors Daniel Blackaby and Mike Blackaby teach us, we can still reach people if we understand what they value most.  This practical guide to our current landscape explores five effective communication pathways: Story: As people wired for narrative, we can speak through the stories we live and tell. Beauty: In an increasingly industrialized world, we can point people to “pockets of beauty” that reveal the attractiveness of God. Art: In a society that celebrates the arts, we can cultivate creativity in the church, then send artists out as cultural missionaries.  Desire: To a people motivated by love, identity, and purpose, we can show how Jesus is the perfect fulfillment of our deepest longings. Community: As relational creatures where connectivity is disappearing, we can offer a community of unified diversity.  Culture may be in flux, but God’s Word remains true. Straight to the Heart helps us speak to the passions that drive our culture without compromising the life-changing truth of the gospel.
