A window into the Jewish soul—written especially for Christians. “I invite you to explore with me some of the rich and varied expressions of the Jewish spiritual imagination. It is a tradition that may at times, for Christians, feel strangely familiar and will, for Christians and Jews, always challenge you to see yourself and your world through a new lens.” —from the Introduction Jewish spirituality is an approach to life that encourages us to become aware of God’s presence and purpose, even in unlikely places. “This world and everything in it is a manifestation of God’s presence,” says Rabbi Lawrence Kushner. “Our challenge and goal is to find it and then act in such a way as to help others find it too.” In this special book, Kushner guides Christians through the rich wisdom of Jewish spirituality. He tailors his unique style to address Christians’ questions, and, in doing so, opens new windows on their own faith. Jewish Spirituality is a window into the Jewish soul that people of all faiths can understand and enjoy. From the Talmud and Torah, to “repentence” (teshuva) and “repairing the world” (tikkun olam), Kushner shows all of us how we can use the fundamentals of Jewish spirituality to enrich our own lives.

How God is described today strikes many as mean, primitive, backward, illogical, tribal, and at odds with the frontiers of science. At the same time, many intuitively feel a sense of reverence and awe in the world. Can we find a new way to talk about God? Pastor and New York Times bestselling author Rob Bell does here for God what he did for heaven and hell in Love Wins: he shows how traditional ideas have grown stale and dysfunctional and reveals a new path for how to return vitality and vibrancy to how we understand God. Bell reveals how we got stuck, why culture resists certain ways of talking about God, and how we can reconnect with the God who is with us, for us, and ahead of us, pulling us forward into a better future—and ready to help us live life to the fullest.

"Like a child who receives a gift, but plays with only the box,we possessed sobriety the entire time and did not know it." v17, Buddy C.If you are reading this, you, or someone you love, is probably dealing with a life controlling addiction even though they have tried to break free. The author, Buddy C., wrestled with the same dilemma. Years of heartfelt efforts poured into a black hole, only to return to a destructive lifestyle.Buddy tried the twelve-step recovery process but found surrendering to a "power greater than ourselves" undefinable and even unattainable. Others shared his challenge of finding a "God of our understanding" as well. Like himself, they were sincere people searching for relief, but did not fit within the common solution of AA.For many in recovery, traditional views of a Higher Power do not resonate. This dissonance left Buddy feeling hopeless. As a result, Buddy C. entered a cycle of recovery and relapse for over six years.Searching the world's religions for answers, Buddy discovered a healing way of life that connected with his needs. The revealed Taoist philosophies were not only close to other principles he had learned in recovery, but resonated with his experience growing up as a Christian attending church in the south.The Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu opened a path to his recovery that traditional methods had not been able to do. Once Buddy utilized these principles, he discovered that when applied daily, Taoism also opened a path that healed other aspects of his life.What is this pathway? Who is Lao Tzu? How does Taoist philosophy describe a higher power?Find all these answers and more in this book. A life free from addiction is just a page turn away.

Everyone struggles with questions like, "How can I know if I'm pursuing God's will or my own?" In this book, pastor Kyle Lake suggests that God's will for a person's life isn't as formulaic as it's often made out to be. This book alleviates ambiguities about God's desires for our lives. Through the use of scriptural metaphors such as discipleship, kingdom and fatherhood, this message empowers people to make wise decisions with the guidance of a God who is not a genie, an insurance policy nor a dominator.

How do we hear from God and discern His will when it’s time to make big decisions? Terry Looper shares a four-step process for doing just that - a process he has learned and refined over thirty years as a Christian entrepreneur and founder of a multi-billion dollar company. At just thirty-six years old, Terry Looper was a successful Christian businessman who thought he had it all—until managing all he had led to a devastating burnout. Wealthy beyond his wildest dreams but miserable beyond belief, Terry experienced a radical transformation when he discovered how to align himself with God’s will in the years following his crash and burn. Sacred Pace is a four-step process that helps Christians in all walks of life learn how to slow down their decision-making under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, sift through their surface desires and sinful patterns in order to receive clear, peace-filled answers from the Lord, gain the confident assurance that God’s answers are His way of fulfilling the true desires he has placed in their hearts, and grow closer to the One who loves them most and knows them best. Sacred Pace is not another example of name-it-and-claim-it materialism in disguise. Instead, it walks Christians through the sometimes-painful process of “dying to self” in their decisions, both big and small, so that they desire God’s will more than their own.
