Coming to Grips with Death and Dying (Salt & Light Booklets)
by Erwin W. LutzerIncreasingly we hear stories from those who claim that they have spoken with the dead and have learned that bliss awaits everyone who "arrives on the other side." At death's door, some people claim to see visions, deceased relatives, or a flash of light.This eBooklet attempts to answer some basic questions: What should be our attitude toward death? Can we accept the experience of others as a valid basis for anticipating what will await us when we die? Is there an intermediate state prior to heaven or hell?Dr. Lutzer takes the data of both the Old and the New Testament to show that only through God's revelation can we be sure what awaits those who die. For many people, death is but a doorway into the glories of heaven; for others, it will be a frightening disappointment.

Coming to Grips with the Role of Europe in Prophecy (Salt & Light Booklets)

Coming to Mind: The Soul and Its Body
by Lenn E. Goodman D. Gregory CaramencioHow should we speak of bodies and souls? In Coming to Mind, Lenn E. Goodman and D. Gregory Caramenico pick their way through the minefields of materialist reductionism to present the soul not as the brain’s rival but as its partner. What acts, they argue, is what is real. The soul is not an ethereal wisp but a lively subject, emergent from the body but inadequately described in its terms. Rooted in some of the richest philosophical and intellectual traditions of Western and Eastern philosophy, psychology, literature, and the arts and the latest findings of cognitive psychology and brain science—Coming to Mind is a subtle manifesto of a new humanism and an outstanding contribution to our understanding of the human person. Drawing on new and classical understandings of perception, consciousness, memory, agency, and creativity, Goodman and Caramenico frame a convincing argument for a dynamic and integrated self capable of language, thought, discovery, caring, and love.
Coming to Our Senses: Healing Ourselves and the World Through Mindfulness
by Jon Kabat-Zinn[from the back cover] "FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WHEREVER YOU GO, THERE YOU ARE AND FULL CATASTROPHE LIVING COMES THE DEFINITIVE BOOK ON THE CONNECTION BETWEEN MINDFULNESS AND OUR PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING. With scientific rigor, poetic deftness, and compelling personal stories, Jon Kabat-Zinn examines the mysteries and marvels of our minds and bodies, describing simple, intuitive ways in which we can come to a deeper understanding, through our senses, of our beauty, our genius, and our life path in a complicated, fear-driven, and rapidly changing world. Here, Dr. Kabat-Zinn shows us how, by "coming to our senses"--both literally and metaphorically, we can become more compassionate, aware human beings, and in the process, contribute to the healing of the body politic as well as our own lives in ways both little and big."

Coming to Terms with America: Essays on Jewish History, Religion, and Culture (A JPS Scholar of Distinction Book)
by Jonathan D. SarnaComing to Terms with America examines how Jews have long &“straddled two civilizations,&” endeavoring to be both Jewish and American at once, from the American Revolution to today. In fifteen engaging essays, Jonathan D. Sarna investigates the many facets of the Jewish-American encounter—what Jews have borrowed from their surroundings, what they have resisted, what they have synthesized, and what they have subverted. Part I surveys how Jews first worked to reconcile Judaism with the country&’s new democratic ethos and to reconcile their faith-based culture with local metropolitan cultures. Part II analyzes religio-cultural initiatives, many spearheaded by women, and the ongoing tensions between Jewish scholars (who pore over traditional Jewish sources) and activists (who are concerned with applying them). Part III appraises Jewish-Christian relations: &“collisions&” within the public square and over church-state separation. Originally written over the span of forty years, many of these essays are considered classics in the field, and several remain fixtures of American Jewish history syllabi. Others appeared in fairly obscure venues and will be discovered here anew. Together, these essays—newly updated for this volume—cull the finest thinking of one of American Jewry&’s finest historians.
