Il popolo Ebreo era disperso in tutto il mondo, vivendo in diaspora. E per tutti questi anni, vivendo nelle terre straniere tra le culture e le religioni diverse, non ha perso la fede, la propria cultura e le tradizioni. 1878 anni sono tanti per dimenticare l`appartenenza nazionale. Gli Ebrei no! Non vi sembra una cosa eccezionale?

My adventure started one day as I considered writing a fiction story using Heaven as the main stage. You know - bright lights, angels, and wonderful people living in pleasant villages. That was the beginning of an adventure that would be 60 pages of scribbled wonder. So I could write about Heaven, I decided to ask God to allow me to visit there. Putting it mildly, going to Heaven would steal away my breath. Since the visit in 1991 my thinking and outlook on life changed me. I was already a Christian - but this was different.

With this collection of essays on the life of faith, Fred Smith tells the truth in a way that does not blind but simply turns the prism a degree or two for seeing differently. He "tells it slant" as Emily Dickinson called it. Fred's themes range from finding significance to navigating life transitions to living a life of obedience. Fred writes that this book is not about my life but seeing the world for a time through my eyes. It is about the prism through which the light divides. A point of view.

Exploring the relationship between Christianity and Zen, especially through his dialogue with the great Zen teacher D.T. Suzuki, the book makes an excellent introduction to a comparative study of these two traditions, as well as giving the listener a strong taste of the mature Merton. Never does one feel him losing his own faith; rather, one feels that faith getting deeply clarified and affirmed. Just as the body of "Zen" cannot be found by the scavengers, so too, Merton suggests, with the eternal truth of Christ.

For more than fifty years, Madeleine L'Engle has delighted and inspired readers/listeners with her warm, eloquent prose and inspirational poetry. She continues this tradition with Miracle on 10th Street, a collection of poignant writings and reflections that give listeners a glimpse of how the wonder of Christmas resonates in her personal life, which deeply involves her family and faith: "I think back to that Christmas when my husband and I did not know whether our little girl would live to grow up," she writes.

Mental Illness is real. Will the Church get real? This book is a collection of essays from various authors: men and women, pastors and congregants, counselors and nurses, parents and children. All have a unique view of how mental health conditions affect people, and how the church has responded to these circumstances. Whispers in the Pews tackles how the mentally ill have been, and still are, treated in the church at large by sharing stories. This is not fundamentally a teaching book, but a book of moments and lives, knitted together by the common theme of mental health.

A Flaming Arrow in God's Bow is a mixture of narrative or prose poetry, autobiography, and thoughts on God. Jesus Christ plays a major role in this book, as is fitting since he's really stepped up to playing a major role in my day to day life. I wrote this book with boldness, trying to show one person's unique view on sin, forgiveness, hope, repentance, and reawakening of the spirit. I wanted the book to be unique, and I believe I accomplished that goal. Buy this book, and judge for yourself.

God doesn't saunter in once for all and settle like a large cat plumping herself into your favorite rocker with an air that says, "Here I am! Now your life is complete!" God dances beyond the threshold and must continually be enticed into our dwelling. I hope these essays remind us all to extend...

Despite protests and warnings from friends and family, author Madeleine L’Engle, at the age of seventy-four, embarked on a rafting trip to Antarctica. Her journey through the startling beauty of the continent led her to write Penguins and Golden Calves, a captivating discussion of how opening oneself up to icons, or everyday “windows to God,” leads to the development of a rich and deeply spiritual faith.
