Published anonymously in 1915, Impersonal Life is a moving and profound chronicle of a spiritual journey that the reader may themselves set out on. The core concept of the book is that God exists within all of us, and may be called upon if the spirit is sufficiently receptive and attuned to Him. Although the author mentions Christian figures such as Jesus Christ, this tenet remains constant; that we can all discover God and attain spiritual harmony by simply fostering our souls in the correct way.  Readers of Impersonal Life frequently attest to its profound message, which encourages the reader to embark on spiritual growth. Although the language is religious, the essential message - of personal inner growth, harmony with the world around us, and a healthy soul - remains meaningful and weighty irrespective of the reader's personal religious beliefs.   This book would spread steadily to a greater audience throughout the 20th century, with paperback copies passed along and word of mouth serving to spread the wisdom of its message. Today it is considered an abiding classic, beneficent to whomever discovers and absorbs its contents.  Although the author's name would later became known, it was his abiding wish that his name never be associated with this work. Unlike certain other publishers of this work, we have respected and obeyed the author's original wishes in printing this work as 'Anonymous'. |

The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations. This new translation is written in a contemporary idiom that remains faithful to the original, making it easy to read while retaining its powers of eloquence. |

The Qur’an (literally “the recitation” also sometimes transliterated as Quran, Kuran, Koran, Qur’ān, Coran or al-Qur’ān), is the fundamental religious text of Islam.  Widely regarded as the finest piece of literature in the Arabic language, the Qur’an serves as the verbal divine guidance and moral direction for mankind for hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world. The text of the Qur’an consists of 114 chapters of varying lengths, each known as a sura. Chapters are classed as Meccan or Medinan, depending on when (before or after Hijra) the verses were revealed. Chapter titles are derived from a name or quality discussed in the text, or from the first letters or words of the sura. Muslims believe that Muhammad, on God's command, gave the chapters their names. |

To you, who, through long years and much running to and fro, have been eagerly seeking, in books and teachings, in philosophy and religion, for you know not what—Truth, Happiness, Freedom, God; To you whose Soul is weary and discouraged and almost destitute of hope; To you, who many times have obtained a glimpse of that “Truth” only to find, when you followed and tried to reach it, that it disappeared in the beyond, and was but the mirage of the desert; To you, who thought you had found it in some great teacher, who was perhaps the acknowledged head of some Society, Fraternity or Religion, and who appeared to you to be a “Master,” so marvelous was the wisdom he taught and the works he performed;—only to awaken later to the realization that that “Master” was but a human personality, with faults and weaknesses, and secret sins, the same as you, even though that personality may have been a channel through which were voiced many beautiful teachings, which seemed to you the highest “Truth;” And here you are, Soul aweary and enhungered, and not knowing where to turn— To you, I AM come. Likewise to you, who have begun to feel the presence of that “Truth” within your Soul, and seek the confirmation of that which of late has been vaguely struggling for living expression within; Yes, to all you who hunger for the true “Bread of Life,” I AM come. Are you ready to partake? |

Powerful, Vulnerable Teaching from New York Times Bestselling Author The human heart was created with a great capacity to love. But along with that comes a great capacity to feel pain. There is no denying that those who love us, who are closest to us, can wound us the most profoundly. That kind of pain can be difficult, if not impossible, to overcome. And it can feel even more impossible to continue loving in the face of it. Yet that is exactly what we are called to do.  Sharing his own story of personal pain, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Jentezen Franklin shows us how to find the strength, courage, and motivation to set aside the hurt, see others as God sees them, and reach out in love. Through biblical and modern-day stories, he discusses different types of relational disappointment and heartache, and answers questions such as Why should I trust again? and How can I ever really forgive? The walls we build around our hearts to cut us off from pain are the very walls that block us from seeing hope, receiving healing, and feeling love. Here are the tools and inspiration you need to tear down those walls, work through your wounds, repair damaged relationships, and learn to love like you've never been hurt. |

"There aren't many questions in life that if you find the answer to them, it can change everything. But asking who God is and what he is like are two of those questions, and John Mark Comer brilliantly answers them in this book." -Jefferson Bethke Many of us ache for relationship with God, yet feel distant and disconnected from him. As if he's more of an idea we believe in our head than a person we relate to. But God has a name: Yahweh. This one simple idea has the potential to radically alter how you relate to God, not as a doctrine, but as a relational being who responds to you in an elastic, back-and-forth way. Why do we feel this gap between us and God? Could it be that a lot of what we think about God is wrong? Not all wrong, but wrong enough to mess up how we relate to him? What if our "God" is really a projection of our own identity, ideas, and desires? And what if the real God is different, but far better than we could ever imagine? This book is a simple, but profound guide to what God says about himself. In his signature conversational-but-smart style, John Mark Comer takes you line by line through Exodus 34:6-8--Yahweh's self-revelation on Mount Sinai--called by some scholars the one most quoted verse in the Bible, by the Bible. Wherever you are in your spiritual journey, who God is just might surprise you--and change everything. |

Uno de los mayores tesoros confiados a la Iglesia es la colección de parábolas que se encuentran en la Escritura, la mayoría de las cuales fueron dadas por Cristo en los Evangelios.  Una parábola puede definirse como una historia terrenal con un significado celestial.  Cristo repetidamente decía antes de compartir Sus parábolas, “El reino de los cielos es semejante a…”  El Dr. Bailey escribió este libro para que sea una ayuda en el estudio e interpretación de las parábolas, para que podamos descubrir y entrar en las verdades del Reino de Dios. |

Since the time of the Reformation, considerable attention has been given to the theme of justification in the thought of the apostle Paul. The ground-breaking work of E. P. Sanders in Paul and Palestinian Judaism (1977) introduced the "new perspective on Paul," provoking an ongoing debate which is now dominated by major protagonists. Foundational theological issues are at stake. In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume, Mark Seifrid offers a comprehensive analysis of Paul's understanding of justification, in the light of important themes including the righteousness of God, the Old Testament law, faith, and the destiny of Israel. A detailed examination of justification in the letter to the Romans is followed by a survey of the entire Pauline corpus. Seifrid's analysis incorporates a critical assessment of the "new perspective," challenging its most basic assumptions; an evaluation of the contribution of recent German scholarship; and a reaffirmation of the "Christ-centered" theology of the Reformers. In this wide-ranging exposition of the biblical message of justification, Seifrid provides a fresh, balanced reworking of Pauline theology. Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead. |

La Mésopotamie n'a pas seulement inventé l'écriture. Elle est également le creuset de la plus vieille religion à ce jour connue. Religion s'entend au sens le plus strict : un Panthéon de divinités dans lequel chacun se voit attribuer un rôle et une fonction propres, dont l'intercession s'obtient par des rites codifiés, dont les volontés se manifestent à travers des signes qu'une classe de prêtres sait interpréter. Des divinités accessibles, dont le monde est à l'origine du monde des humains, dont les structures hiérarchiques modèlent, sur terre, celles de l'univers politique et social. Des divinités présentes, actives, mais à aimable distance des hommes, au point que ceux-ci ont le loisir d'élire, selon les circonstances de leur vie, celle ou celui à qui ils réserveront une dévotion particulière. Une religion qui invente des rites, des récits (celui du Déluge), voire des épopées (celle de la Création ou de la Naissance du travail) dont, par contamination, les religions des pays voisins, aux civilisations moins élaborées, s'inspireront ou qu'elles retravailleront. Une religion, véritable : certainement le premier système de croyances fortement élaboré, qui fut le creuset de ce qui a moulé notre monde : le monothéisme. |

Cosmic Consciousness by Richard Maurice Bucke This is an attempted scientific study of illuminated individuals. Bucke provides three dozen very consistent examples of 'cosmic consciousness.' Some of these are the usual suspects, and others are contemporary case-histories which Bucke collected. Bucke proposed that these enlightened figures are evolutionary jumps, the precedecessor of a more advanced species. Bucke developed a theory involving three stages in the development of consciousness: the simple consciousness of animals; the self-consciousness of the mass of humanity (encompassing reason, imagination, etc.); and cosmic consciousness - an emerging faculty and the next stage of human development. |
