This book comprises responses by a Sufi master, Hadrat Sahib of the
Naqshbandi tradition, to letters written by students of the master.
The questions posed in these letters cover a wide range of issues
including, financial problems, health issues, family matters,
education and bereavement. The advice given by the master reveals a
deep spirituality which places the particular student's problem in
context and details a specific method of offering oneself to God at
all times. It is difficult to find such detail relating to
spiritual practices in Sufi literature. These letters are
inspirational and timeless. They provide a cure to a world
dominated by materialism and all its attendant miseries.
This is an astrology book about the planets in the houses. Clear
descriptions explain the actions of ten planets in each of the
twelve astrological houses that relate to the main areas of life
including money, family, relationships and work. The talents and
abilities that a person may take for granted but, with awareness
could develop further, are described for each planetary placement.
By understanding that challenges are learning opportunities a
person may be able to cope with them better. Spiritual perspectives
suggest what the soul may be learning from daily experiences and
how the spirit of a person is striving to attain its highest
aspirations. The book is straightforward and easy to follow. It can
be used like a textbook by student astrologers and may assist
experienced astrologers to consider a more spiritual way of looking
at horoscopes.
Kevin Cann's book is about understanding God ideas vs. Good ideas.
God gives each person His ideas. The difficult part is determining
if the idea is from our Spirit or Soul. I want to help the Body of
Christ find their God idea and share it with the world.
David Tabor (1913-2005) was a highly respected and much loved
member of the Cambridge Jewish community for almost sixty years.
This book contains his Kol Nidre addresses, Bar Mitzvah talks and
funeral eulogies, as well as a selection of poems, articles and
other talks on Jewish topics.
This book is founded on the premise that being a servant of 'the
kingdom community' must become the heart of the church's mission.
Unless this happens Christians will have little to offer to a world
now facing an ultimate choice between community and chaos. To
fulfil this mission the mould of Christendom needs to be broken so
that a new form of church - the diaconal church - can come into
being. This will mean a church open to dialogue, a laity liberated
from clericalism and the creation of a servant leadership. The book
includes an informative evaluation of five original case-studies of
the diaconal church in action and the diaconal potential of five
worldwide Christian 'renewal movements'.
In Bill Vincent's more than 20 years of ministry, there has been
countless spirits and demons that he has personally been allowed by
God's grace to overcome in many people's lives. There have been
various kinds but none as dangerous as the spirit of Jezebel. This
book is as no other Bill has written because of the history of
dealing with this spirit so many times over the years. The Church
doesn't need to take this lightly. Bill brings this timely message
several ways to bring clarity. This book isn't just for light
reading, don't just skim the surface because there is much that the
Holy Spirit is releasing through this book. In the years, Bill has
learned a great deal more about this principality, this strongman,
and how it operates. After writing Defeating the Demonic Realm Bill
never thought he would be releasing a book this powerful again
concerning spiritual warfare. We need to understand failure to
address the weaknesses and sinful responses have wreaked havoc in
the lives of men and women everywhere. The Jezebel Spirit must be
overcome before it destroys you!"
In Jews, Judaism, and Success, Robert Eisen attempts to solve a
long-standing mystery that has fascinated many: How did Jews become
such a remarkably successful minority in the modern western world?
Eisen argues that Jews achieved such success because they were
unusually well-prepared for it by their religion - in particular,
Rabbinic Judaism, or the Judaism of the rabbis. Rooted in the
Talmud, this form of Judaism instilled in Jews key values that
paved the way for success in modern western society: autonomy,
freedom of thought, worldliness, and education. The book carefully
analyses the evolution of these four values over the past two
thousand years in order to demonstrate that they had a longer and
richer history in Jewish culture than in western culture. The book
thus disputes the common assumption that Rabbinic Judaism was
always an obstacle to Jews becoming modern. It demonstrates that
while modern Jews rejected aspects of Rabbinic Judaism, they also
retained some of its values, and these values in particular led to
Jewish success. Written for a broad range of readers, Jews,
Judaism, and Success provides unique insights on the meaning of
success and how it is achieved in the modern world.
