SCIENCE QUESTIONED RELIGIOUS CONCEPTS, WAS RELIGION RIGHT ALL ALONG? DOES RELIGION HAVE AN EXPLANATION FOR EVOLUTION? ARE OUR RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS INCOMPLETE? IS UNIVERSAL RELIGIOUS UNITY POSSIBLE? WHAT IS RELIGIONS’ ROLE IN CLIMATE CHANGE, CONSERVATIONS ETC.? DOES ALL OUR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY HAVE A RELIGIOUS BASIS? “Humanity’s Inflection Point” provides positive answers and the pathway to accomplishment of all the above and reintroduces: 1. We all exist in the presence of the Living, Omnipresent, Omnipotent God 2. All knowledge comes from the Almighty God. God willing, this work will serve to be the starting point for the awakening of the masses to reject the cult of personality that many religious leaders seek to create, to start the reversal of the animosities that have been fostered for thousands of years by religious leaders and be part of the process that leads to the eventual elevation of all humanity.

[Spanish] - Cómo Lidiar con Personas Difíciles: Una Guía Esencial de Estrategias Sencillas para Lidi
Todos hemos tenido que lidiar con el comportamiento perturbador de otras personas en nuestras vidas. Ya sea un cliente exigente, un amigo que miente constantemente o un compañero de trabajo que no para de quejarse, estas cosas aumentan el estrés de un estilo de vida ya de por sí agitado. Dicho esto, haciendo honor a su nombre, las personas difíciles son difíciles de manejar incluso si estás extremadamente tranquilo antes de que se acerquen a ti. Sin embargo, siempre hay una razón para su comportamiento, y este libro te ayudará a revelarla. Asimismo, entender por qué actúan como lo hacen también puede ayudarle a responder a otra pregunta. Aprenderá por qué es tan difícil tratar con ellos. Al fin y al cabo, personas con diferentes orígenes socioeconómicos, creencias culturales y herramientas cognitivas pueden llevarse bien la mayor parte del tiempo. Entonces, ¿por qué no puedes hacer lo mismo con las personas difíciles? Una de las razones por las que puede ser tan difícil manejar a las personas difíciles es la falta de una definición clara de lo que realmente significa este término. Por ello, no existe una clasificación unificada de los rasgos. El número de personalidades difíciles varía en función de la definición. En aras de la simplicidad, las encontrarás clasificadas en seis categorías universales. Se trata de los gaslighters, las personas tóxicas, los narcisistas, los vampiros de energía, los manipuladores y las personas agresivas. Este libro explica cómo se define generalmente cada tipo, sus características y cómo identificarlo.

Searching for Truth in Vegas, Hollywood & Bethlehem: The Quest to Discover if God is Real
People today desperately want to know what is true and authentic in a world increasingly characterized by cultural confusion and a loss of trust in established institutions. Are the answers to life found in the writings of secular scientists who tell us that we're simply a product of chance - an accidental mixture of elements in one stage of development, no more important in the long range scheme of things than a rock, or a sea urchin? Are the answers found in the philosophical musings of Eastern mystics who explain that we're a very small part of an all-pervasive life force that in the end draws us into itself so that we lose our individuality and become nothing? Are we unique individuals created by an all-powerful Creator who has a purpose for each person? But, if so, why is there so much pain and suffering in what should be a perfect world? Searching for Truth in Vegas, Hollywood & Bethlehemis a relatively short, easy-to-read book that addresses many of the questions thoughtful people often ask about the nature of God, the nature of life, and the validity of Biblical faith. For example: Is there a God? What about evolution? How about Eastern mysticism? Is the Bible really God's Word? How close is the Bible of today to the original Bible? How does it differ from other great works of religious literature? Did Jesus really rise from the dead? If God is good and sovereign, why is there excessive pain and suffering in the world? The book follows a logical progression of thought from one question to another and includes interesting stories and historical information to help people think through the issues It provides honest answers to honest questions.

Healthy Leadership for Thriving Organizations: Creating Contexts Where People Flourish
The devastating effects of toxic work environments are top news. Everyone seems to understand that healthy organizations nurture flourishing individuals and societies-what Jesus desires for all. How can Christian business and ministry leaders create a positive organizational culture and identity? Justin Irving has spent twenty years studying, teaching, and reflecting on organizational leadership. Drawing wisdom from the Bible, contemporary leadership theory, and the insights of over two hundred executive leaders, Irving provides a theological framework that makes human flourishing the driving motivation for leading organizations well. He helps listeners invest in their own growth to become leaders who motivate, inspire, and nurture. But he broadens the view to help listeners see how different levels of leadership-the dynamics and interdependence of teams and of the whole organization-work together. He then offers practical insights on building teams, culture, and effective communication and on navigating the storms of crisis and change.

Genealogies of Religion: Discipline and Reasons of Power in Christianity and Islam
In Geneologies of Religion, Talal Asad explores how religion as a historical category emerged in the West and has come to be applied as a universal concept. The idea that religion has undergone a radical change since the Christian Reformation-from totalitarian and socially repressive to private and relatively benign-is a familiar part of the story of secularization. It is often invoked to explain and justify the liberal politics and world view of modernity. And it leads to the view that 'politicized religions' threaten both reason and liberty. Asad's essays explore and question all these assumptions. He argues that 'religion' is a construction of European modernity, a construction that authorizes-for Westerners and non-Westerners alike-particular forms of 'history making.'

Ishmael in the Shadow of Israel: God's Prophetic Plan for Abraham's Firstborn
A thoughtful and well-documented call to rethink the role of Arabs in the plan of God Western Christianity's long-standing support of Israel has, perhaps unintentionally, nurtured a prejudice against Arab people-the descendants of Abraham's first son, Ishmael. Author Tony Maalouf contends that this bias differs dramatically from the biblical portrayal of Ishmael and the nations that have sprung from him. With meticulous research and theological astuteness, Maalouf surfaces the positive portrayal of the Arab people in ancient and prophetic history, clearly showing that the Israeli-Arab conflict is a recent development in history. By bringing to light the nature of relationships that have prevailed among the Jews and Arabs throughout history, Maalouf strives to change the thinking of Bible believers to a more accurate understanding of this crucial contemporary issue. He traces the Abrahamic heritage of the Arab people and majors on the positive Arab-Israeli relationships in biblical history. The descendants of Ishmael have an important role in the sovereign plan of God-right up to the final moments of history.

The Americanization of the Apocalypse: Creating America's Own Bible
The Scofield Reference Bible was the product of Dispensationalism, which offered a new way of reading the Bible, one that focused attention squarely on the end-times. That scripture would later become a core text of America's white Christian nationalism. In The Americanization of the Apocalypse Donald Harman Akenson examines the creation and spread of Dispensationalism. The story is a transnational one: created in southern Ireland by evangelical Anglicans, who were terrified by the rise of Catholicism, then transferred to England, where it was expanded upon and next carried to British North America by 'Brethren' missionaries, and then subsequently embraced by American evangelicals. Akenson combines a respect for individual human agency with an equal recognition of the complex and persuasive ideational system that apocalyptic Dispensationalism presented. For believers, the system explained the world and its future. For the wider culture, the product of this rich evolution was a series of concepts that became part of the everyday vocabulary of American life: end-times, apocalypse, Second Coming, Rapture, and millennium. The Americanization of the Apocalypse is the first book to document, using direct archival evidence, the invention of the epochal Scofield Reference Bible, and thus the provenance of modern American evangelicalism.

God's Grandeur: The Catholic Case for Intelligent Design
In an age of rising unbelief, top Catholic thinkers show how, more than ever, both science and reason affirm the words of the great Catholic poet Gerard Manley Hopkins: 'The world is charged with the grandeur of God.' This book, edited by biologist Ann Gauger, clears up common misconceptions regarding intelligent design, showing why it is an argument not from ignorance but from knowledge and how the evidence for God's design of the natural world is growing. Part 1 explores scientific evidence from experts in cosmology, paleontology, genetics, chemistry, and biology. In part 2, you will learn about the purpose of creation, transcendent beauty, and the distinctiveness of the human person. The third part lays out the theology behind creation and how it reflects God's glory and concludes with Dr. Anthony Esolen's essay on the 'symphonic order' of the universe, masterfully drawing from science, mathematics, literature, and philosophy. Each chapter includes extensive references, enabling further exploration. The entire book will strengthen you as never before in the belief that the world is the creation of an intelligent and intentional Designer-One whose greatest longing is for you to spend all eternity with Him.
Ann Gauger (Author), Nan Mcnamara (Narrator)

Being Both: Embracing Two Religions in One Interfaith Family, 10th Anniversary Edition
Being Both: Embracing Two Religions in One Interfaith Family chronicles the rise of a growing grassroots movement: interfaith families choosing to celebrate both religions. Miller interweaves her own story with original reporting, and with hundreds of responses from original surveys of parents who chose both religions, and of their grown interfaith children. She describes the formation of communities across the country, pioneering interfaith education for interfaith children, and how interfaith children can grow up to be ambassadors and peacemakers. The result is the first book by an adult interfaith child to advocate for the right of families to claim, and embrace, both family religions. Being Both is also the first book to give voice to a new generation of interfaith children growing up with formal interfaith education, as many of them move beyond traditional religious labels to claim more complex, flexible, or fluid spirituality. Included here is an Author’s Note written specifically for this 10th Anniversary audiobook edition. It reflects on how the interfaith families landscape has changed in the past decade, and why this book is still essential.

[German] - G/GESCHICHTE - Das ewige Jerusalem: Zwischen Krieg und Erlösung
Am 7. Oktober 2023 erfolgt der Terrorangriff der Hamas. Zivilisten vom Greis bis zum Kleinkind werden getötet, Frauen vergewaltigt und Hunderte Geiseln in den Gazastreifen verschleppt. Wie traumatisch dieser Tag für Israel ist, bezeugt der Beitrag der Autorin Agnes Fazekas, die in Tel Aviv lebt und die schrecklichen Folgen hautnah miterleben muss. Seit Jahrtausenden verspricht Jerusalem Frieden und Erlösung, aber keine Stadt hat mehr Krieg und Zerstörung in ihrer Geschichte erlebt. 44-mal wird Jerusalem erobert: durch Babylonier, Makedonier, Römer, Perser, Araber, Kreuzritter, Osmanen und Briten und viele mehr. Und gleich drei Weltreligionen erheben zwischen Klagemauer, Grabeskirche und Felsendom ihren Anspruch auf »al-Quds«, die Heilige, wie Jerusalem auf Arabisch heißt. Die erhoffte Nähe zu Gott kann ein Fluch sein. Der junge Staat Israel kommt 1948 unter Schmerzen zur Welt. Die ersehnte Heimstatt der Juden wird auf Kosten der alteingesessenen Bevölkerung errichtet und muss sofort gegen die arabischen Nachbarstaaten hart erkämpft werden. Erst nach dem Sieg im Sechstagekrieg 1967 wird die Altstadt von Jerusalem israelisch. Und der Konflikt will kein Ende finden. Intifada, militante Siedler und jetzt der Terrorkrieg der Hamas. Wie heißt es im jüdischen Talmud: »Zehn Maß Leiden kamen auf die Erde herab. Jerusalem bekam davon neun Maß.«

In Church as It Is In Heaven: Cultivating a Multiethnic Kingdom Culture
Heaven is multiethnic. Are you ready for that? The Bible tells us that the congregation gathered around God's heavenly throne will be 'a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language,' all singing the praises of the Lamb. God's intention has always been to delight for all eternity in a redeemed community of ethnic diversity. But this diverse community shouldn't have to wait until eternity to begin! It can be a reality in our own local churches here and now. Patterned after a worship service, In Church as It Is in Heaven gives biblical warrant for such a community and shows how multiethnic churches provide a unique apologetic for the gospel. Along the way, the authors tell the story of their own church-a majority-white congregation which is being transformed into a family that reflects the diversity of heaven. The multiethnic kingdom is not just a nice idea, or an abstract theory. It's a reality-one we can enter into today.
