Sinopse

Sacred Winds explores the profound connections between weather phenomena and religious beliefs across various cultures, diving into how wind and storms have been interpreted as divine messages. This interdisciplinary approach combines religion, climatology, and geography, highlighting the human need to find meaning within the natural world. The book examines how different societies have historically perceived atmospheric events, such as tornadoes being seen as divine wrath or gentle breezes representing benevolence. It presents these interpretations not as mere superstitions, but as sophisticated attempts to understand and interact with the environment. 

 
The book traces the origins of these beliefs through ancient mythologies, religious texts, and archaeological findings. It investigates the role of wind and storms in religious symbolism, with examples such as wind representing divine power or storms symbolizing spiritual cleansing. 

 
Examining specific religious traditions like Norse, Greek, and Shinto, the book progresses through thematic areas, analyzing mythologies and rituals related to weather. The final sections discuss the contemporary relevance of these interpretations, considering how they inform environmental ethics and disaster preparedness.

    Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet -...

    Sara Hagerty masterfully draws from her own story of spiritual and physical barrenness to birth in listeners a new longing for God. With exquisite storytelling and reflection, Hagerty guides listeners to a tender place that God is holding just for them—a place where he shapes the bitterness of lost expectations into deep, new places of knowing Him. 
    In the age of fingertip access to answers and a limitless supply of ambitions, where do we find the God who was birthed in dirt and straw? Sara Hagerty found him when life stopped working for her. She found him when she was a young adult mired in spiritual busyness and when she was a new bride with doubts about whether her fledgling marriage would survive. She found him alone in the night as she cradled her longing for babies who did not come. She found him as she kissed the faces of children on another continent who had lived years without a mommy’s touch. 
    In Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet, Hagerty masterfully draws from the narrative of her life to craft a mosaic of a God who leans into broken stories. Here readers see a God who is present in every changing circumstance. Most significantly, they see a God who is present in every unchanging circumstance as well 
    Whatever lost expectations listeners are facing—in family, career, singleness, or marriage—Every Bitter Thing Is Sweet will bring them closer to a God who longs for them to know him more. What does it look like to know God’s nearness when life breaks? What does it mean to receive his life when earthly life remains barren? How can God turn the bitterness of unmet desire into new flavors of joy? 
    With exquisite storytelling and reflection, Hagerty brings listeners back to hope, back to healing, back to a place that God is holding for them alone—a place where the unseen is more real than what the eye can perceive. A place where every bitter thing is sweet.

  • Mortal Goods - Reimagining Christian Political Duty - cover

    Mortal Goods - Reimagining...

    This book by one of today's leading theologians examines how Christians might more faithfully and realistically imagine their political vocation. 
     
    Ephraim Radner explains that our Christian calling is to limit our political concerns to the boundaries of our created lives: our birth, parents, siblings, families, brief persistence in life, raising of children, relations, decline, and death. He shows that a Christian approach to politics is aimed at tending and protecting these "mortal goods" and argues for a more constrained view of our mortal life and our political duty than is common in both progressive and conservative Christian perspectives. 
     
    Radner encourages us to take seriously what is most valuable in our lives and allow this to shape our social posture. Our vocation is to offer our limited life to God, give thanks for it, and glorify God by living our lives as a gift. Radner also shows how "catastrophe" reveals our time to be fragile, bounded, and easily overturned. And he exposes "betterment," which lies behind most modern politics, as a false motive for human life. The book concludes with a vision of the good life articulated in the form of a letter to his adult children.
