half-life / die already
by Mark SteeleLife is certainly circular. In time, we face the same struggles, reenter the same habitual cycles, and encounter the same types of frustrating people. In time, we always end up facing what we tried our darndest to evade. In fact, we spend so much time trying to avoid the inevitable that we rarely take time to learn, grow, and embrace the rough stuff. Half Life / Die Already suggests that the route to real living is dying to self. With non-stop humor and out-there insights, Mark chronicles his journey-in-progress with often hilarious results. Readers of all ages will enjoy his wit and wisdom, and be inspired to just die already.
hand in Hand
by Randy AlcornIf God is sovereign, how can I be free to choose? But if God is not sovereign, how can he be God? Is it possible to reconcile God's sovereignty with human choice? This is one of the most perplexing theological questions. It's also one of the most personal. In hand in Hand, Randy Alcorn says that the traditional approach to this debate has often diminished our trust in God and his purposes. Instead of making a one-sided argument from select verses, Alcorn examines the question in light of all Scripture. By exploring what the whole Bible says about divine sovereignty and human choice, hand in Hand helps us... · Carefully and honestly examine the different views on this issue· Gain a deeper understanding of God· Appreciate God's design in providing us the freedom of meaningful choice· See the value in better understanding what we cannot fully understand· Learn how to communicate about the issue in clear and compassionate ways· More fully experience the unity Christ intends for his Church A careful guide through Scripture, hand in Hand shows us why God's sovereignty and meaningful human choice work together in a beautiful way. Includes small-group discussion questions.
happy? Leader Guide: what it is and how to find it
by Matt MiofskyWe all dream of being happy. If we could just lose the extra weight, get the job, buy the house, we could truly be happy. But over time, it begins to seem as though lasting happiness is unattainable. Despite our best efforts, true happiness will never be a reality for us. So how do we find lasting happiness and contentment in our lives? Maybe the answer isn’t in our own lives at all. Matt Miofsky connects the existential question, “Am I happy?”, with basic theology and unexpected biblical texts. Starting with the book of Ecclesiastes, considering if any "thing" can make us happy, he explores the value of relationships, a forgiving lifestyle, living in the present, feeling gratitude, and learning to release control. The Leader Guide contains everything needed to guide a group through the 4-week study including session plans and discussion questions, as well as multiple format options.

iMuslims: Rewiring the House of Islam
by Gary R. BuntExploring the increasing impact of the Internet on Muslims around the world, this book sheds new light on the nature of contemporary Islamic discourse, identity, and community. The Internet has profoundly shaped how both Muslims and non-Muslims perceive Islam and how Islamic societies and networks are evolving and shifting in the twenty-first century, says Gary Bunt. While Islamic society has deep historical patterns of global exchange, the Internet has transformed how many Muslims practice the duties and rituals of Islam. A place of religious instruction may exist solely in the virtual world, for example, or a community may gather only online. Drawing on more than a decade of online research, Bunt shows how social-networking sites, blogs, and other "cyber-Islamic environments" have exposed Muslims to new influences outside the traditional spheres of Islamic knowledge and authority. Furthermore, the Internet has dramatically influenced forms of Islamic activism and radicalization, including jihad-oriented campaigns by networks such as al-Qaeda. By surveying the broad spectrum of approaches used to present dimensions of Islamic social, spiritual, and political life on the Internet,iMuslimsencourages diverse understandings of online Islam and of Islam generally.

kaddish.com: A novel
by Nathan EnglanderThe celebrated Pulitzer finalist and prize-winning author of Dinner at the Center of the Earth and What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank delivers his best work yet, a streamlined comic masterpiece about a son’s failure to say Kaddish for his father. Larry is the secular son in a family of Orthodox Brooklyn Jews. When his father dies, it’s his responsibility to recite the Kaddish, the Jewish prayer for the dead, every day for eleven months. To the horror and dismay of his sister, Larry refuses—imperiling the fate of his father’s soul. To appease her, Larry hatches an ingenious if cynical plan, hiring a stranger through a website called kaddish.com to recite the prayer and shepherd his father’s soul safely to rest. Sharp, irreverent, hilarious, and wholly irresistible, Englander’s tale of a son who makes a diabolical compromise ingeniously captures the tensions between tradition and modernity—a book to be devoured in a single sitting whose pleasures and provocations will be savored long after.
karadima, el señor de los infiernos
by María Olivia MönckebergEl rostro de Jimmy Hamilton refleja una mezcla de impotencia y fuerza cuando se entrevista por primera vez con María Olivia Mönckeberg hace más de un año. En ese momento le asegura que son muchas las personas que han sufrido abuso físico y psicológico en las últimas cuatro décadas dentro de la Iglesia Católica chilena. Las víctimas serían desde niños de doce o quince años hasta hombres de algo más de cincuenta. «¡Y eso sigue ocurriendo hasta hoy!», dice Hamilton, porque «un grupo influyente del episcopado está involucrado en el círculo de protección». En estas páginas, María Olivia Mönckeberg, premio Nacional de Periodismo, indaga a fondo en la experiencia traumática de las víctimas querellantes del caso Karadima, muchas de ellas marcadas de por vida por los abusos deshonestos del cura de El Bosque. Asimismo, devela el tejido de miedos y silencios, pero también de respaldo y apoyo social que han permitido el crimen en una de las parroquias más poderosas de Santiago, y que solo el Vaticano, «anteponiéndose a la justicia civil», ha empezado a detener con un fallo adverso al sacerdote.

matrimonio vertical: Abraza el secreto que enriquecerá tu matrimonio
by John Driver Dave And WilsonEl matrimonio vertical relata en español, la experiencia y el viaje de la pareja hacia la sinceridad, el arrepentimiento, la perspectiva y, en última instancia, descubrir el secreto que puede transformar cualquier matrimonio en lo que Dios lo diseñó.La dolorosa y franca confesión de Ann a Dave respecto al verdadero estado de su matrimonio se produjo en el aparcamiento donde ellos pronto ayudarían a iniciar una nueva iglesia. Habían salido a celebrar su décimo aniversario de bodas.A pesar de los planes de Dave para que fuera una noche romántica, Ann expresó la profundidad de su desdicha que le había pasado inadvertida a su esposo, quien nunca sospechó el dolor de ella. A través de las lágrimas de Ann, Dave podía oír el susurro de la voz de Dios, que luchaba con sus propias palabras en un intento por defenderse.Cierra la boca y escucha.Lo que Dave oyó de labios de su amada esposa fue difícil de digerir, pero —tal y como iba quedando manifiestamente claro— ella tenía razón. Al estar iniciando Dave y Ann una iglesia, y al servir él como capellán de los Detroit Lions, su vida se había convertido en reuniones constantes, en estudios bíblicos, en consejería, en mentorías privadas y en viajes. Nunca estaba en casa, se esforzaba al máximo para servir a todos, pero estaba descuidando a Ann y a sus hijos. Ella sentía que él ya no interactuaba con ella en su matrimonio ni en la crianza de sus tres hijos pequeños.El enojo de Ann se transformó en amargura, hasta llegar al punto de que a ella ya no le importaba que él estuviera de viaje. Y el que David fuera completamente ajeno a sus problemas no ayudaba en nada; de modo que ella sentía que a él no le importaba. Este es un problema que muchos matrimonios afrontan de una forma u otra. Pero en medio de esta dolorosa conversación que podría haber puesto punto final a todo, Dios volvió a susurrarle a Dave.En el asiento delantero de su vetusto vehículo, Dave oró en voz alta y se arrepintió ante Dios al darse cuenta de que su relación con él se había enfriado ahora. Se arrepintió por no ser el esposo y el padre que Ann y sus hijos necesitaban. Dios iluminó su corazón con un sencillo secreto del matrimonio que, sin embargo, él había pasado por alto a menudo: solo se puede mantener una relación personal “horizontal” saludable entre un esposo y su esposa cuando la relación personal “vertical” con Cristo está viva y saludable.Lleno de autenticidad, humor, principios bíblicos y relatos contundentes, Dave y Ann revelan el plan de Dios para el matrimonio para todo aquel que está casado, se esté preparando para el matrimonio, o esté desesperado por salvar un matrimonio que se encuentra al borde del desastre. Esta pareja sincera e imperfecta (como el resto de nosotros) revela por qué el matrimonio es tan difícil... y mediante su propia narración personal de los altibajos matrimoniales, revelan el secreto elusivo para hallar y disfrutar del gozo y de la transformación relacional para los cuales Dios nos ha diseñado, con tanta gracia, a cada de uno de nosotros.
of this earth: A Mennonite Boyhood In The Boreal Forest
by Rudy WiebeRudy Wiebe has written award-winning fiction for decades. He is recognized as one of Canada's finest literary treasures. Twice he has received Canada's most prestigious prize for fiction writing: The Governor-General's Award (equivalent to the Pulitzer Prize for fiction). Now comes new recognition for Wiebe's nonfiction writing. His recently released childhood memoir, Of This Earth: A Mennonite Boyhood in the Boreal Forest, has won the Charles Taylor Prize for Literary Nonfiction (considered to be the country's most prestigious literary nonfiction prize). The book holds Rudy's memoirs of growing up through age 12. His immigrant family cut a farm out of stony bushland in remote Saskatchewan. They hand-dug their well, climbed a ladder to their beds under the rafters, farmed with horses, and traveled by sleigh on the frontier. Stories and singing and food from their native Ukraine and Poland held them and filled their bodies and souls. Of This Earth is written with "spare and eloquent prose," say the jurors who chose the book for the Charles Taylor Prize. Wiebe "conveys the riches of a hardscrabble inheritance; a love of words, reading and music, a sustaining yet unsentimental faith, and a bond with the natural world, all of which have provided a compass for his writing life." One of the Taylor-Prize jurors reflected, "Rudy's book haunts you; it stays with you."
one long listening: a memoir of grief, friendship, and spiritual care
by Chenxing HanFor readers of The Wild Edge of Sorrow and Crying in H-Mart--a profound and searching memoir of life, loss, grief, and renewal from one of American Buddhism&’s most vital new voices. How do we grieve our losses? How can we care for our spirits? one long listening offers enduring companionship to all who ask these searing, timeless questions.Immigrant daughter, novice chaplain, bereaved friend: author Chenxing Han (Be the Refuge) takes us on a pilgrimage through the wilds of grief and laughter, pain and impermanence, reconnecting us to both the heartache and inexplicable brightness of being human.Eddying around three autumns of Han&’s life, one long listening journeys from a mountaintop monastery in Taiwan to West Coast oncology wards, from oceanside Ireland to riverfront Phnom Penh. Through letters to a dying friend, bedside chaplaincy visits, and memories of a migratory childhood, Han's startling, searching memoir cuts a singular portrait of a spiritual caregiver in training.Just as we touch the depths, bracing for resolution, Han&’s swift, multilingual prose sweeps us back to unknowingness: 不知最親切. Not knowing is most intimate. Chinese mothers, hillside graves. A dreamed olive tree, a lost Siberian crane. The music of scripts and silence. These shards--bright, broken, giddy, aching--are mirrors to our own lives in joy and sorrow.A testament to enduring connection by a fresh and urgent new literary voice, one long listening asks fearlessly into the stories we inhabit, the hopes we relinquish, and what it means simply to be, to and for the ones we love.
postChristian: What's Left? Can We Fix It? Do We Care?
by Christian PiattIt's the end of Christianity as we know it. But it's not a catastrophe-it's an opportunity. Thousands are walking away from the church. Christians are grappling with their faith. And both believers and nonbelievers wondering-what's coming next? Fearless and provocative, spiritual trailblazer Christian Piatt offers a roadmap to the future of faith with an unflinching examination of the church today. What's left? Pairing the best "virtues" and worst "scandals" of Christianity, Piatt invites us to abandon institutional religion for deeper, truer faith. Can we fix it? Guided by the biggest historical, religious, and pop-cultural pioneers of the postChristian era, he demonstrates how to save the best of what Christianity has to offer-and how to rediscover and reinvent the rest. Do we care? There's plenty of good left in Christianity-if we dare to be as scandalously graceful and loving as Jesus Himself. Bold and insightful, POSTCHRISTIAN dares Christians to break out of the box and invites outsiders into the fold as we revolutionize faith for a postmodern world.

red helicopter—a parable for our times: lead change with kindness (plus a little math)
by James RheeA NATIONAL BESTSELLEREmbrace your agency, lead change, and fly free—in the business of life and the life of business—with kindness (plus a little math)In kindergarten, James Rhee received a toy red helicopter in gratitude for a simple act of generosity—sharing his lunch. Decades later, the lesson from that small gift led him to develop a human-centered framework for business and personal achievement that helped him overcome seemingly insurmountable hurdles and find unprecedented success.“red helicopter is a transformative experience. James Rhee's story is a must read for anyone, of any age, who wishes to think, act, and lead with balance, agility, and wisdom." —Jay ShettyRhee was a high school teacher turned private equity investor when he unexpectedly took the helm of Ashley Stewart, an iconic company predominantly employing and serving Black women. Inspired by the values his dying Korean immigrant parents instilled in him, he knew that a radically different—yet familiar—approach was required to lead this twice-bankrupt company from certain liquidation to true transcendence.Is it possible to be successful and kind? To lead with precision and compassion? To honor who we are in all areas of our lives?The entire world bet against him and Ashley, but Rhee trusted his instincts to identify, measure, and leverage the intangible goodwill at the company’s core, a decision which ultimately multiplied its fortunes several times over.Anyone can combine the clarity and imagination we had as children with fundamental business metrics. Anyone can apply this refreshingly intuitive approach to lead change at work and at home. While eloquently sharing a story of personal and professional success, red helicopter presents a comforting yet bold solution to the dissatisfaction and worry we all feel in a chaotic and sometimes terrifying world.The insights and knowledge that Rhee imparts have been accumulated over decades of investing and leading at the highest levels of business. Drawing on this experience, he encourages us to trust the wisdom deep inside each of us so we can learn how to:Create and measure “goodwill,” the ultimate collective goodDiscover agency and the truth about kindness it entailsIdentify the invisible obstacles standing in your wayLead transformational change through small, scalable actsConstruct an accurate “balance sheet” of our assets and liabilitiesReorient our lives, organizations, and the world to reflect the best in usAre you looking for a sustainable balance between life, money, and joy? For yourself and others?Imagine, a clear path forward told as a deeply felt human story. A poignant and uplifting celebration of humanity, red helicopter—a parable for our times is a tale of struggle and triumph, compelling for its honesty and relatability as much as for the instructions we can all use to balance the books of our lives.red helicopter—a parable for our times features approximately 20 original illustrations by Korean artist Heyon Cho.
