Hyecho's Journey: The World of Buddhism
by Donald S. Lopez Jr.In the year 721, a young Buddhist monk named Hyecho set out from the kingdom of Silla, on the Korean peninsula, on what would become one of the most extraordinary journeys in history. Sailing first to China, Hyecho continued to what is today Vietnam, Indonesia, Myanmar, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran, before taking the Silk Road and heading back east, where he ended his days on the sacred mountain of Wutaishan in China. With Hyecho’s Journey, eminent scholar of Buddhism Donald S. Lopez Jr. re-creates Hyecho’s trek. Using the surviving fragments of Hyecho’s travel memoir, along with numerous other textual and visual sources, Lopez imagines the thriving Buddhist world the monk explored. Along the way, Lopez introduces key elements of Buddhism, including its basic doctrines, monastic institutions, works of art, and the many stories that have inspired Buddhist pilgrimage. Through the eyes of one remarkable Korean monk, we discover a vibrant tradition flourishing across a vast stretch of Asia.

I Am Number 8: Overlooked and Undervalued, but Not Forgotten by God
by John Gray Joel OsteenIf God can take David--the invisible eighth son of a forgotten family--and turn him into a king, just imagine what magnificent plans He has for redeeming your life.David was born a number 8--a hidden gem, often overlooked and undervalued by everyone except for God. For David, being a number 8 seemed like a curse until the day God transformed him from the unknown eighth son of Jesse into the much-honored king of Israel. When God sends out an invitation to greatness, His directions don't always make sense to us. You may feel like the most invisible, broken number 8 out there, but God sees your hidden value and is growing you for better things. David didn't know it, but his time as a simple shepherd with a dull future did not go unnoticed by God. In David's darkest moments, he was cultivating the kind of gifts, wisdom, and leadership he would need to become a king. Even when you're an underdog in the eyes of the world, God is working behind the scenes to develop you into a king or queen.
I Am: A 60-Day Journey to Knowing Who You Are because of Who He Is
by Michele CushattFrom the moment a woman wakes until she falls, exhausted, on her pillow, one question plagues her at every turn:Am I enough? The pressure to do more, be more has never been more intense. Online marketing. Self-help books. Movies, magazines and gym memberships. Even church attendance and social media streams have become a means of comparing ourselves to impossible standards. Am I pretty enough? Hip enough? Spiritual enough?We fear the answer is “No.”When a brutal bout with cancer changed how she looked, talked, and lived, Michele Cushatt embarked on a soul-deep journey to rediscover herself. The typical self-esteem strategies and positivity plans weren’t enough. Instead, she needed a new foundation, one that wouldn’t prove flimsy when faced with the onslaught of day-to-day life.With raw personal stories, rock-solid biblical teaching, and radical truths on which to rebuild your life, I Am will help you:• End the barrage of negative self-talk with an empowering new narrative.• Refuse to ride the rollercoaster of others’ opinions and start believing what God’s says about you.• Stop agonizing over past regrets and failures and make peace with God’s sovereign plan for your life.• Leave insecurity behind as you exchange temporary fixes for an identity established on God’s unchanging affection.I Am reminds us that our value isn’t found in our talents, achievements, relationships, or appearance. It is instead found in a God who chose us, sent us, and promised to be with us—forever.

I Was Told to Come Alone: My Journey Behind The Lines Of Jihad
by Souad Mekhennet“I was told to come alone. I was not to carry any identification, and would have to leave my cell phone, audio recorder, watch, and purse at my hotel. . . .”For her whole life, Souad Mekhennet, a reporter for The Washington Post who was born and educated in Germany, has had to balance the two sides of her upbringing – Muslim and Western. She has also sought to provide a mediating voice between these cultures, which too often misunderstand each other.In this compelling and evocative memoir, we accompany Mekhennet as she journeys behind the lines of jihad, starting in the German neighborhoods where the 9/11 plotters were radicalized and the Iraqi neighborhoods where Sunnis and Shia turned against one another, and culminating on the Turkish/Syrian border region where ISIS is a daily presence. In her travels across the Middle East and North Africa, she documents her chilling run-ins with various intelligence services and shows why the Arab Spring never lived up to its promise. She then returns to Europe, first in London, where she uncovers the identity of the notorious ISIS executioner “Jihadi John,” and then in France, Belgium, and her native Germany, where terror has come to the heart of Western civilization.Mekhennet’s background has given her unique access to some of the world’s most wanted men, who generally refuse to speak to Western journalists. She is not afraid to face personal danger to reach out to individuals in the inner circles of Al Qaeda, the Taliban, ISIS, and their affiliates; when she is told to come alone to an interview, she never knows what awaits at her destination.Souad Mekhennet is an ideal guide to introduce us to the human beings behind the ominous headlines, as she shares her transformative journey with us. Hers is a story you will not soon forget.
I segreti degli ebrei
by Simona Trapani Bernard LevineGesù Cristo (che era Egli stesso un ebreo) era contrario alle tradizioni ebraiche perché le leggi fatte dai Rabbini ebrei sono un fardello pesante per gli ebrei, che non sono in grado di rispettarle completamente. Non solo gli ebrei devono obbedire alle leggi sacre di Dio, come riportato nelle Scritture, ma devono anche rispettare tutte le leggi umane fatte dai Rabbini. Se solo gli ebrei capissero che Dio non punisce le persone che strappano la carta igienica durante il Sabbath e che non Gli importa se gli ebrei mangiano i cheese burger, mescolando nello stesso pasto la carne con i latticini! Io sono così benedetto e non devo chiedermi, come fanno gli ebrei, chi sia il vero Messia. Ci sono centinaia di profezie della Bibbia, che si sono già avverate, che provano che Gesù Cristo è il Messia. Sono profondamente grato e molto onorato di essermi liberato dal dover rispettare tutte le 613 leggi dell’Antico Testamento e di poter vivere con la grazie del mio Signore e Salvatore, Gesù Cristo.
