Almost all of us, at some time in our lives, are cast into grief. Living with Grief begins by the author narrating how he was cast into grief by the early death of his son, followed by an analysis of the nature of grief. He then distinguishes between owning one’s grief and disowning it—putting it behind one—and explains why he has determined to own his grief, more specifically, to own it redemptively. In describing how he has struggled to own his grief redemptively, the author draws on the Christian tradition. The manuscript of the book was discussed by about twenty-five prisoners in the Handlon State Prison for Men (Michigan). The postlude of the book consists of letters by five of (more…)

The full title of Newton’s Principia is “The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy.” Sadly, some contemporary philosophers might be hard-pressed to say just what natural philosophy is about–sadly, because it remains foundational to questions arising in other disciplines: metaphysics, ethics, philosophical psychology, and the philosophy of god, to name a few. In Nature, the Soul, and God, Jean Rioux has brought together primary readings in the philosophy of nature, presenting ways in which philosophers conceive of and account for the natural world in a pre-scientific reflection upon the way things are. Its three main sections comprise: a consideration of what the world would look like if natural philosophy were not possible, some representative natural philosophies (materialism, formalism, dualism, and hylomorphism), (more…)

For six decades, Erhard Gerstenberger was a leader in the study of the Psalms and ancient Israelite poetry. The essays in this volume bring together some of his key contributions reflecting on two fundamental forms of prayer in the biblical tradition: praise and petition. Both the student and the experienced researcher will be enriched by the depth and clarity of perspective that Gerstenberger brings. One of the essays (chapter 4) appears here for the first time in any language.

CHILDREN OF THE BURNING HEART-Undone and Remade By The Truth
You already know the verse. You may not know the truth behind it.
John 8:32 is one of the most-quoted sentences in the English-speaking world. It appears on church signs and coffee mugs, in sermons and in songs. It is familiar. It is beloved. And it is almost never understood.
WARNING: If the Spirit does not open your heart, this book will trouble you the way Jesus’ words troubled the rich young ruler. Because the question it demands is the one we rarely dare to ask:
How do you know you have been set free like Paul was on the way to Damascus?
In an age where truth is treated as personal property, have we (more…)

Speaking from the traditional Quaker claim of inward knowledge of Christ the Light, the author shows her accord with early Friends’ writings and the Scriptures they affirmed. Promptings arising from daily readings and personal interactions provide the starting point for many of the book’s essays. Other genres, including interviews and dialogues, also present a perspective that largely has been lost to modern-day forms of the faith. Though not allowing authoritative texts to displace the prerogative of Spirit, the author often cites both Scriptures and seventeenth-century Friends to support her themes with their good sense and authority, and thus she demonstrates the unity of the faith from century to century, from millennium to millennium.

Dive into the godly wisdom of Proverbs with Zack Eswine’s guide to living well.
The biblical book of Proverbs exemplifies how to live life on this earth in the best way possible. However, rather than giving us step–by–step instructions on how to live a more efficient, productive, and successful life, the ancient book of Proverbs encourages us to meditate on the person, posture and pace of wisdom.
In our pursuit of wisdom as Christians, we find that ultimate wisdom is embodied in Christ. We must pursue wisdom as we would a person, relationally and with love. The posture of wisdom is one of humility and teachability, and the pace of wisdom encourages meditation rather than immediate action.
In this valuable book, Zack Eswine (more…)
