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!"
This book is part of the Islamic Teachings series compiled from the
works and lectures of Shaykh-ul-Islam Dr Muhammad Tahir-ul-Qadri.
The book Hajj and Zakah provides readers with both a general
overview and where needed, some in depth information and guidance
on basics of Islam. All of the primary subjects within the three
branches of Shariah, Aqidah (doctrine), Fiqh (jurisprudence),
Tasawwuf (spirituality and self purification) are covered and a
general basic understanding of Islam in a modern context through an
easy way to follow question and answer format. Some of the most
common yet unanswered, day to day issues are replied to using
juristic methods from sound sources of Qur'an and Hadith. These are
not only of benefit for the purpose of self study, for anybody of
any age and from every walk of life, it is also a very useful
reference source which caters for the needs of academic
institutions, libraries and study circles.
Once a defining feature of Christian life, the practice of
Confession has largely faded in recent years. And yet, without an
acknowledgment of sin and the longing for forgiveness and
reconciliation the Gospel makes little sense. In Confession Jim
Forest offers a moving reappraisal of this neglected sacrament,
drawing on scripture, the lives of the saints, and a wealth of
personal stories. From St. Augustine and St. Paul, to Dorothy Day,
Thomas Merton, and Dostoevsky, Forest shows how the practice of
confession draws us deeper into a loving relationship with God, the
body of Christ, and our fellow sinners.

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.

Alfred Edersheim (1825-1889) was a Jewish convert to Christianity
and a Biblical scholar, best known for his 1883 The Life and Times
of Jesus the Messiah. Edersheim believed that some knowledge of the
intellectual and religious perspectives of people during Jesus'
lifetime was necessary to fully understand His works. Volume II
begins after the baptism of Jesus through his ministry,
crucifixion, and resurrection.

From one of America's most brilliant writers, a New York Times
bestselling journey through psychology, philosophy, and lots of
meditation to show how Buddhism holds the key to moral clarity and
enduring happiness. At the heart of Buddhism is a simple claim: The
reason we suffer-and the reason we make other people suffer-is that
we don't see the world clearly. At the heart of Buddhist meditative
practice is a radical promise: We can learn to see the world,
including ourselves, more clearly and so gain a deep and morally
valid happiness. In this "sublime" (The New Yorker), pathbreaking
book, Robert Wright shows how taking this promise seriously can
change your life-how it can loosen the grip of anxiety, regret, and
hatred, and how it can deepen your appreciation of beauty and of
other people. He also shows why this transformation works, drawing
on the latest in neuroscience and psychology, and armed with an
acute understanding of human evolution. This book is the
culmination of a personal journey that began with Wright's landmark
book on evolutionary psychology, The Moral Animal, and deepened as
he immersed himself in meditative practice and conversed with some
of the world's most skilled meditators. The result is a story that
is "provocative, informative and...deeply rewarding" (The New York
Times Book Review), and as entertaining as it is illuminating.
Written with the wit, clarity, and grace for which Wright is
famous, Why Buddhism Is True lays the foundation for a spiritual
life in a secular age and shows how, in a time of technological
distraction and social division, we can save ourselves from
ourselves, both as individuals and as a species.
In Celtic Spirituality, acclaimed translator and scholar Philip
Freeman allows the voices of the Celts to speak once more. Though
the Celtic civilization has long disappeared, lingering traces of
their spirituality haunt Ireland and the surrounding land.
Tantalizing snippets of faded manuscript pages, ancient stone
carvings, and spells from the mystery-shrouded Druids have sparked
the imagination of generations of modern seekers. Translated from
their original languages--Gaulish, Latin, Irish, and Welsh--the
passages and stories in Celtic Spirituality are true artifacts of
the Celts' vibrant and varied religion from both the pre-Christian
and early Christian period. From a ritual of magical inspiration to
stories of the ancient gods and adventures of long-forgotten
heroes, Freeman has unearthed a stunning collection of Celtic work.
The translation is accessible to the modern reader, but maintains
the beauty and vibrancy of the original. Celtic Spirituality
includes material that has never been translated before, offering a
new glimpse into the wisdom and wild magic of the Celts.
