A senior Buddhist teacher offers fundamental body-based meditation practices that prove enlightenment is as close to you as your own body Many of us experience life through so many conceptual filters that we never recognize the freedom and joy that are inherent in us—and are in fact the essence of who we are. We can grow old not realizing that one of the most powerful tools to escape the painful knots we tie ourselves in is, literally, at our fingertips: our body.     With  The Awakening Bod y, Reggie Ray cracks open the shell of the mind-body dichotomy and presents six fundamental body-based practices that connect us back to who we really are. These practices cut through the mental fabrications through which we experience our world and lead us directly to the richness of living a fully present, embodied human life. This book includes a link to free downloads of recorded guided practices. |

ECPA BESTSELLER • A compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favor of a slower, simpler way of life   “As someone all too familiar with ‘hurry sickness,’ I desperately needed this book.”—Scott Harrison,  New York Times  best-selling author of  Thirst   “Who am I becoming?”   That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. Outwardly, he appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren’t pretty. So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words:   “Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life.”   It wasn’t the response he expected, but it was—and continues to be—the answer he needs. Too often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing at hurry, or busyness, as a root of much evil.   Within the pages of this book, you’ll find a fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world. |

Unshackle your mind and claim your spiritual birthright of freedom, wholeness, and joy through the perennial wisdom of ancient yoga   There’s a reason that the Vedas, a 5,000-year-old collection of celebrated verses from ancient India, have given rise to several world religions and influenced Western thinkers from Emerson to Ram Dass—they provide us with a uniquely accessible and effective path to liberation and sovereignty. With Sovereign Self , Acharya Shunya shares a groundbreaking guide to the wisdom of these classic texts so that each of us may emancipate ourselves from restrictive belief systems and discover our true nature—that which is always whole, joyful, and free. As the first female lineage holder in a 2,000-year-old line of spiritual teachers, Shunya provides a rare opportunity to receive these authentic teachings from a genuine Vedic master—one with a distinctly down-to-earth, feminine flavor who never lets us forget that our humanity is to be embodied and enjoyed. Throughout Sovereign Self , Shunya adeptly guides us through the core concepts and practices of the Vedas, demystifying and contextualizing sacred concepts for modern life. In this masterful guide, you’ll explore: • Beginning the journey to radical self-acceptance—recognize your innate worth and wholeness • How we create our own prisons of shame, compulsion, blame, and obsession—and how you can begin to break free • Learning to embody personal autonomy in your life and relationships • Clear advice from a Vedic master for avoiding countless obstacles on the path to liberation—from spiritual bypassing to the true meaning of guru • Original meditations and contemplative practices taken directly from Shunya’s 2000-year-old lineage • How to wake up from being a “sleepwalker” and find authentic freedom, everlasting joy, and unshakable sovereignty Filled with hidden insights and engaging guidance, Sovereign Self will help you awaken and recognize your potential to be joyful, resourceful, abundant, limitlessly expansive, and sovereign.   |

Roshan Danesh has devoted his career to the study of law and religion with a particular focus on the Bahá'í Faith and its central legal text, the Kitáb-i-Aqdas. In this collection of essays—previously published in a variety of academic journals, including the prestigious Journal of Law and Religion—Danesh invites the reader into an exploration of largely unchartered waters. As he states in the introduction to this collection, “understanding Bahá'í law challenges us to question, and ultimately abandon, our taken-for-granted ways of thinking, talking about, and using law.” Organized around four distinct areas— Bahá'u'lláh's conception of law, the constitutional dimensions of the Bahá'í Faith, Bahá'u'lláh's theory of social change, and scholarship and discourses concerning Bahá'í law—the essays collected here are expansive and illuminating, and they provide an invaluable contribution to discourse on the subject. With a foreword by Kiser Barnes.  |

Les Évangiles Chronologiques : La vie et le ministère de soixante-dix semaines du Messie est la traduction du livre par Michael Rood, The Chronological Gospels: the life and seventy-week ministry of the Messiah. Après quarante ans de travail, y compris trois décennies de redécouverte de l'ancien calendrier biblique hébreu et des expériences vécues au cours de nombreuses années passées à Yerushalayim et en Galilée, Michael Rood a présenté les Évangiles inspirés dans l'ordre chronologique – les Évangiles en harmonie – afin de vous aider à poursuivre votre quête de la vérité. Michael Rood avait enseigné partout, même sur l’internet à travers des vidéos, mais jusqu’à maintenant non pas en français. Cette traduction numérique invite le monde francophone à la vraie harmonie des évangiles - la chronologie exacte de la vie de Yechoua, dit Jésus. Les Évangiles détaillent le ministère du Messie en cinq parties, Roi, Serviteur, Fils de l'Homme, Fils de Dieu, et Juge Tout-Puissant. Chaque Évangile raconte l’histoire selon la perspective inspirée de l’auteur. Certains des événements apparaissent dans plus d’un Évangile ; des autres n’en apparaissent qu'une seule fois ; mais ce sont les détails complets de tous les Évangiles qui présentent la vie et le ministère de Yechoua de Nazareth (le Prophète dont Moïse a prophétisé), le Messie promis. Les Évangiles Chronologiques : La vie et le ministère de soixante-dix semaines du Messie synchronise avec précision les événements des quatre premiers Évangiles autour du seul miracle enregistré par chacun – la multiplication des pains et des poissons (l'alimentation des cinq mille personnes). Cet événement unique unit les quatre Évangiles en un instant. Il se déroule au milieu du ministère de Yechoua. Donc, chaque événement avant ou après ce miracle peut être placé dans un ordre chronologique précis. Avant que le Calendrier du Créateur soit rétabli, personne ne pouvait déterminer le temps des Fêtes de l'Éternel célébrées par Yechoua au cours de son ministère. Il nous a fallu l’aide indispensable de Sir Isaac Newton, de la NASA, de Robert Scott Wadsworth, de la Société Israélienne de la Nouvelle Lune, et de Nehemia Gordon et le Recherche Aviv Israël, pour rétablir ce calendrier. Sans ces œuvres, certains détails du chef-d'œuvre divin du ciel n'auraient pu être découverts. Chacune des Fêtes de l’Éternel a été estimée selon le calendrier lunaire du Créateur, qui était encore utilisé 288 ans après la destruction du Temple, et peut maintenant être calculé avec précision et synchronisé avec le calendrier julien, qui a été mis en place plus de quarante ans avant la naissance de Yechoua. La connaissance a effectivement « augmenté » et plusieurs « courront çà et là » aux vitesses mesurées en nanosecondes (Daniel 12,4). Les choses qui ont été délibérément « scellées » jusqu’aux derniers jours peuvent enfin être comprises. Maintenant, l'Évangile « sans levain » du Royaume que Yechoua et ses disciples ont enseigné puisse être compris avec clarté et prêché avec intégrité au monde entier. |

Ефрем Сирин – один из великих учителей церкви IV века, христианский богослов и поэт родился в городе Низибии. Еще юношей он удалился в окрестные горы и стал отшельником.

Church historians have long known and appreciated Christianity's global history. Until recently, however, introductory textbooks on the history of Christianity focused almost exclusively on Europe and North America. Robert Bruce Mullins's A Short World History of Christianity, by contrast, offers a panoramic picture of the history of Christianity in its Western and non-Western expressions. It tells the story of the early church in the Greek East as well as the Latin West; of Christianity's spread into Asia as well as Europe during the Middle Ages; and its explosion around the world during the modern period. Mullins's highly readable narrative explores why global perspectives have emerged so strongly in our understanding of the story of Christianity and how they have impacted Christianity's perspective on its place in the world. This newly revised edition adds information on such global phenomena as early Syriac-speaking Christianity; the growth of Pentecostalism around the world, especially in the southern hemisphere; and recent trends in Christianity, including the elevation of the first pope born in the Americas. A time line of key dates, call-out boxes, and other helpful study materials are also provided. Beginning students will appreciate this memorable introduction to the most important events in the history and development of Christianity. |

Not every lie sounds untrue. Some lies are repeated so often they seem to be common sense. That's why lies about God are so dangerous. The Gospel According to Satan examines eight lies the enemy wants us to believe and provides eight lines of counterattack against them. The lies include: God just wants you to be happy;you only live onceyou need to live your truth; andjust let go and let God. Jared C. Wilson reveals why these lies appeal to us, shows how they harm us, and provides ways to counteract them. We can renounce Satan's counterfeit gospel, but first we must see it for what it is. "Enumerates the major ways the Devil uses his cunning and calculating ways of luring us off the narrow road of God's grace. We will all do well to read this book and confront the lies we are being sold."--Kyle Idleman, senior pastor of Southeast Christian Church and author of Not a Fan and Don’t Give Up "A unique, compelling, and even witty look at the devil's current greatest hits--lies we urgently need to unmask." --Sam Allberry, speaker for Ravi Zacharias International Ministries and author of 7 Myths About Singleness and Why Does God Care Who I Sleep With?  "One of the most thought-provoking writers in the Christian world today... He doesn’t just describe the tantalizing falsehoods of our age, he exposes how they've slithered into our hearts."--Matt Smethurst, managing editor at The Gospel Coalition and author of Before You Open Your Bible |

In this 60 Second Scholar book, biblical scholar Michael S. Heiser reveals the most indispensable insights for understanding the Bible.
