Sinossi

Selections from the Kur-an offers readers an insightful glimpse into the foundational texts of Islam, presenting carefully curated verses that illuminate key themes such as guidance, morality, and the divine. The text captures the lyrical quality of the original Arabic while providing English translations that retain the essence of the Kur-an's profound spiritual messages. Emphasizing the text's historical and cultural contexts, the selections reveal the Kur-an's influence on Islamic thought and practice, as well as its resonances with contemporary ethical dilemmas, making it an invaluable resource for scholars and lay readers alike. The anthology is a product of collaborative efforts from various scholars who have devoted their lives to studying the Kur-an, each bringing unique perspectives to the translations and interpretations. These scholars reflect a myriad of backgrounds, encompassing theological and literary studies, which enriches the understanding of the Kur-an as not only a religious document but also a work of significant literary merit. Their collective expertise has led to a careful selection of verses that underscore both the text's spiritual depth and its historical importance to millions around the globe. I highly recommend Selections from the Kur-an to anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of Islamic teachings and literature. Whether for academic study or personal enlightenment, this anthology offers a substantive entry point into the rich tapestry of Islamic spiritual and ethical thought, inviting reflection on themes that remain relevant across cultures and centuries.

The Santa Muerte - The Healer...

Kelly Mass

The cult image, female divine being, and folk saint Nuestra Seora de la Santa Muerte (Spanish meaning: Our Woman of the Holy Death) is a cult image, female divine being, and folk saint in Mexican Neopaganism and folk Catholicism. 
Her worshippers relate her with healing, security, and safe delivery to the afterlife simply because she's a personification of death. In spite of condemnation from Catholic Church leaders and, more just recently, evangelical movements, her following has grown substantially since the start of the twenty-first century. 
Santa Muerte, who was initially portrayed as a male character, is now generally illustrated as a skeletal female figure dressed in a long cape and clutching several things, most typically a scythe and a world. 
Let’s take a look at what she means or meant to people in Mexico, and what we can learn about it.

People who crumble beneath the weight of rejection never realize their full potential, but people who learn to use rejection as a catalyst experience fulfillment in their lives.

Some of her earliest memories are of her mother's rejection, and those feelings persisted throughout her schooling, her career, and her infertility journey.

Dying for Purpose - Light for...

Micah McElveen, Dennis Ross

Through his own death in 1995, author Micah McElveen was challenged to think differently about purpose, and now challenges us to do the same. McElveen discovered that purpose was never designed to be a destination, but rather a bridge connecting you to the place where you are designed to make a difference. McElveen’s unique approach to narrative engulfs readers in thought-provoking views on poverty, success, life, and death. Dying for Purpose will encourage you to truly live.
