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.

There have been more copies of this book burned than perhaps any other single Christian book ever published. So powerful was its influence on Europe that within 6 years of its release this book had been translated into every language in Western Europe. In Naples, Italy it was said that 20,000 Christians gathered in small groups to practice inward prayer. Michael Molinos came closer to reforming the Catholic church than any other single man in history, yet he ended up sealed in a dungeon, his book condemned.

This is a coming of age story full of rich spiritual imagery inspired by “The Temple Legend” by Rudolf Steiner. Once upon a future time, there was a youth named Juan Estrella, who lived with his grandfather in a fertile valley by the sea. The youth’s wise old grandfather often told him stories of an ancient lost temple of gold, which was buried beneath the sand centuries ago. Juan marveled at his tales, and longed with all his heart to build temples of gold that would not be swept away by time.

Many listeners have heard C. S. Lewis's logical arguments for the Christian faith. Yet throughout his wide-ranging study and writing, Lewis often began with experience, intuition, and religious feeling rather than dogmatic assertions. The most profound questions of Lewis's own life, argues theologian and literary critic Jeffrey Barbeau, can be seen in his quest to understand the relationship between personal experience and the truth about the world around him.

Many of us have been taught to read Scripture as a collection of information that needs to be categorized, systematized, and analyzed verse by verse, concept by concept. But the Bible isn't a jigsaw puzzle, and it wasn't written in just Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. It was also written in the language of story. And as with every good story, we get to meet colorful characters, unravel mysteries, and see the world from a different point of view. It all makes more sense when understood from the perspective of storytelling.

To most, the term “Christian horror” probably seems like an oxymoron. Nevertheless, there are very good arguments to be made that “horror” is an eminently biblical genre and that Christian artists should be at the forefront of reclaiming it. In this work, novelist and freelance writer Mike Duran explores the Judeo-Christian roots of contemporary horror, the religious themes that frame much of the horror art, and how evangelical culture has come to distance itself from such a potentially rich and powerful medium.

Harriet Beecher Stowe was appalled by slavery, and she took one of the few options open to nineteenth-century women who wanted to affect public opinion: she wrote a novel, a huge, enthralling narrative that claimed the heart, soul, and politics of millions of her contemporaries. Uncle Tom's Cabin paints pictures of three plantations, each worse than the other, where even the best plantation leaves a slave at the mercy of fate or debt. Her questions remain penetrating even today: "Can man ever be trusted with wholly irresponsible power?"

With practical examples, heartfelt encouragement, and a deep reverence for the power of prayer, The Ministry of Intercession urges Christians to embrace this calling and make prayer a central part of their daily lives.

By integrating insights from science, religion, and spirituality, the author argues that this inner guidance is a universal truth that transcends different belief systems.

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.

Valiéndose de la palabra poética, Javier Melloni expresa la consciencia religiosa creciente en nuestro tiempo y que forma parte del sentir de la mística universal: la inseparabilidad entre Dios, nosotros y el mundo que nos rodea.

No es que todo nos hable de la Fuente, sino que la Fuente brota en todas las cosas. Él se desvela a medida que vamos descubriendo lo que somos: el Agua en la que Él se vierte.

In popular imagination, Tolkien is a Luddite, but recent scholarship has identified Tolkien's extensive modern sympathies. Tolkien, Philosopher of War contributes to this growing literature. His is a modern critique of Enlightenment thinking, specifically those philosophies that wrest the initiative from God in divinizing man. His worry is apocalyptic politics—political movements that take Christ's word out of the realm of grace and make it a platform for political action.

At the heart of Tolkienian fantasy is "recovery," a "cleaning of the windows" of our perception that we may learn to see the world again in all its strange beauty. And, for Tolkien, to recover the world anew is to recover a sense of the world as a meaningful act of creation by a living and loving Creator. How does Tolkien accomplish this? Through "sub-creation" or mythopoeia, the "fashioning of myth." For it is in creating an imaginary world ourselves through poetry, fairy-story, and myth that we come to "see" our "primary world" as itself an act of creation.
