How to Make Choices You Won't Regret (40-Minute Bible Studies)
by Kay Arthur David Lawson B J LawsonHow to make choices now that you won’t regret later. You may be wondering how you ended up where you are, whether your life would have been better if you had made different decisions along the way. Or maybe your current situation is great, but you’re facing some difficult choices. God wants to help you. Every day you and I are faced with innumerable decisions, some of which have the potential to change the course of our lives forever. Certain avenues open to us are marked with hidden pitfalls or lead in harmful directions. And in some instances the wrong choice can even bring death. Where do you go for direction? What do you do when faced with temptation? How do you decide what choices to make? This study answers those questions by exploring the role of Scripture and the Holy Spirit in the process, as well as examining the decision-making of people such as David, Josiah, Eve, and Jesus. As a result, my friend, I pray you will be equipped to make choices that bring honor to God and peace to your heart. --Kay Arthur The 40-Minute Bible Studies tackle vital issues in short, easy-to-grasp lessons for personal or group use–with no homework required.

How to Measure a World?: A Philosophy of Judaism (New Jewish Philosophy and Thought)
by Martin ShusterWhat does it mean to wonder in awe or terror about the world? How do you philosophically understand Judaism? In How to Measure a World?: A Philosophy of Judaism, Martin Shuster provides answers to these questions and more. Emmanuel Levinas suggested that Judaism is best understood as an anachronism. Shuster attempts to make sense of this claim by alternatively considering questions of the inscrutability of ultimate reality, of the pain and commonness of human suffering, and of the ways in which Judaism is entangled with the world. Drawing on phenomenology and Jewish thought, Shuster offers novel readings of some of the classic figures of Jewish philosophy while inserting other voices into the tradition, from Moses Maimonides to Theodor W. Adorno to Walter Benjamin to Stanley Cavell. How to Measure a World? examines elements of the Jewish philosophical record to get at the full intellectual scope and range of Levinas's proposal. Shuster's view of anachronism thereby provokes an assessment of the world and our place in it. A particular understanding of Jewish philosophy emerges, not only through the traditions it encompasses, but also through an understanding of the relationship between humans and their world. In the end, Levinas's suggestion is examined theoretically as much as practically, revealing what's at stake for Judaism as much as for the world.

How to Negotiate the Crucibles of Life not Somehow but Triumphantly
by Graeme CrossGraeme Cross is well travelled and well experienced in issues of life. He has a genuine belief that many of the experiences he has gone through during his life have not been by chance but by design in preparation for what is contained within the pages of this book. On commencing this writing, all Graeme knew was that he was being required by God to share some of his learnings from his experiences of life. He had no plan as to give it a title, theme or content but was simply open to the leading of the Holy Spirit in every aspect. There are aspects of content that have come as a revelation to Graeme with the interweaving of certain events in his life only becoming apparent in the writing. The overall end result has been truly a surprise to Graeme himself and has once again demonstrated what is possible when one opens themselves up to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Graeme has a desire to see every individual enter into a relationship with God and experience the fullness of what that relationship has to offer, especially in the difficult times that come and believes that this book is inspired by God to this end.

How to Pray When You're Pissed at God: Or Anyone Else for That Matter
by Ian PunnettWhen things really go wrong, what do you do with the feeling that God is to blame? A popular Coast to Coast radio host (and Episcopal clergy) provides some answers. In a first of its kind book, Ian Punnett provides a spiritual path for expressing your rawest emotions through prayer and how to rebuild a relationship with one's higher power--or anybody else in your life. In this important and practical book, Ian Punnett provides insight on feeling anger and resentment toward God and offers advice on how to deal with the pain and blame that accompanies these emotions. In a book that is edgy, timely, funny and compassionate, Punnett presents real help in everyday language for transforming the negativity of anger into a positive and useful force that will ultimately help us pray more effectively, bring us closer to God, enhance our spiritual relationship, and change the way we live and love others. After a divorce, a broken friendship, the death of a loved one, the loss of a job or even the accumulation of all the tiny cracks in our spirit from life's disappointments, it's easy to feel pissed at God. When anger is left unchecked, it is harmful to our minds, bodies and souls. "How to Pray When You're Pissed at God is not "the last word" on angry prayer," Punnett writes, "but it might be the first words you have ever heard on the topic. By the end of the book, it is my hope that you'll understand the role of anger in our lives, the benefit of honest prayer, and the need for honest, angry prayer in the lives of the faithful and faithless."
