«Hacemos turismo cultural, visitamos iglesias y catedrales, nos arrobamos ante la belleza de los frescos románicos, de los lienzos renacentistas, de los retablos barrocos, de las imágenes de bulto talladas en sillerías, canecillos y retablos, de las prodigiosas arquitecturas que conforman el...

Joseph Lumpkin's concise study of Deuteronomy, the fifth and final book of the Torah, offers a profound exploration of its role as a pivotal bridge between the wilderness narratives and the subsequent history of Israel in the Promised Land, detailed in Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings. The name "Deuteronomy," derived from the Greek "Deuteronomion," meaning "second law," aptly captures its purpose as a reiteration and expansion of earlier laws.

As the times change and many more brothers and sisters recognize that God is giving us the glory and opportunity to help others recognize the love that he has for us we continue to see more of our brothers and sisters be saved and put up on the right path that God has laid out for us with his powerful grace and mercy. As we also continue our journey and we grow in major numbers to follow our savior Jesus Christ it will be God's will to lift up anyone who recognizes Jesus Christ as our savior as well as those who are blind to the light of life that he will lead us to our father in heaven.

After 60 years at Gethsemani Abbey, Br. Paul follows up his recent memoir, In Praise of the Useless Life, with a poetic collection that shows how to do just that–by writing poetry. Amounting to Nothing is both practical and metaphysical, a puzzling over the ultimate things of life, and a descending on the Benedictine ladder of humility to the earthly creatures surrounding a Kentucky monastery. This is less an exploration in self-knowledge than a forgetting of self in the wonders of everything.

This book explores the concept of the inner voice—often recognized as intuition, divine guidance, or gut feeling—and its role in helping individuals unlock their true potential. By integrating insights from science, religion, and spirituality, the author argues that this inner guidance is a universal truth that transcends different belief systems.

But the Lord led me to a half basement. My life began to sprout, grow, and bloom with flowers in the half basement. My half basement was a place full of love, life, and blessings.

In Samuel Johnson's famous quote, "When a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully," we find a sobering observation about the power of impending death to focus one's thoughts. Thus is was for the mind and spirit of this soon-to-be martyr.

Read by the author. Traditional Christian virtue and vices like abstinence, gluttony, and sloth make many of us bored or uncomfortable. At their best, these words sound dead or confusing, like incomplete fossils that belong to a distant past awkwardly enshrined in a museum. At worst, they...

But what is inspiration? When we train artists, we typically identify them by their talent and train them in technique. We talk very little about the crucial creative spark of inspiration. Where does it come from? What does it want from us? How can we get more of it? In The Discipline of Inspiration, Carey Wallace meditates on this vital spark and on the ways artists have negotiated with it across genres and throughout history.

The Jesus Music explores the history, evolution, and redemptive thread of Contemporary Christian music over the last fifty years as it spans the convergence of rock and roll, country, and gospel music.

Character is a significant factor that has been and continues to impact today's generation. Despite its relevance, it is one thing that is not taught in various levels of education and even in some churches. The Bible, along with other articles and research, has proven that character is crucial for the success of every individual. This is why God gave man an image (character) before granting him dominion.

Psalms 119:9-11 MSG Gathering riches from the Word of God and sharing these nuggets of truth, Donesa Walker strives to reveal the golden treasure of God's word in related life experiences.

Why do we often do what we know we shouldn't, and yet fail to do that which we know we should? It's the power of emotions that often wage war within us, wreaking havoc and confusion that often leads us to sin. Emotions touch upon every aspect of life: family, friendship, parenting, marriage, and all interactions at work and in the church, triggering reactions and dictating how we respond to everyday situations around us.

Pop culture does more than entertain us. At its best, it is a mirror—maybe sometimes a distorted fun house mirror—reflecting back to us beauty, absurdity, and profound truth of what it means to be human. These musicians, actors, writers, and producers often sit in the prophet's chair and...

What if the shortest book in the Old Testament held the loudest warning for our modern hearts? Enemies of the Heart brings the ancient words of the prophet Obadiah into urgent focus for today’s world. In just 21 verses, Obadiah unmasks the deadly effects of pride, silence, misplaced trust, and gloating over others’ pain. But he also reveals a stunning hope: God sees everything, and justice is not delayed forever.

From classic fantasy like The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia to modern stories like Harry Potter, Christians have been debating the issue of fictional magic for decades. Some believers read and write fantasy as an expression of their God-given creativity while others feel this is dangerous and ignorant of the growing threat of the occult. Deuteronomy 18 says spells and other forms of magic are an abomination, but how does that apply to fantasy magic?
