"Has the life of God's people reached the utmost limit of what God
is willing to do for them? Surely Not!" With that bold statement,
Andrew Murray challenges believers to practice the art of waiting
only on God. In thirty-one brief chapters, arranged as readings for
each day of the month, Murray leads us in the school of waiting --
of being silent before God in complete trust and dependence. The
lessons learned and the answers received through this act of faith
far exceed the time spent, and build in us a trust, confidence in
God and patience. Invest thirty-one days with Murray in waiting
upon God -- the results will be mre than you could ask for.
Revelation isn't just for biblical figures. It's for you too.
This book will give you fresh revelations from God and help you develop a more real
and practical faith.
Revelation received from the Spirit of God always changes lives, because true faith is
built on revelation.
In Rivers of Revelation, Rabbi Kirt A. Schneider, host of the popular TV broadcast
Discovering the Jewish Jesus, takes readers on a one hundred-day journey
through God’s Word to gain a deeper revelation of who God is, who they are in
Him, and the authority they have been given as the children of God.
Revelation is supernatural, and it is always transformational. Featuring Scripture,
teaching, and a prayer for each day, this devotional will empower readers to grow in
their relationship with Christ, experience more of God’s power in their lives, and come
to know Him in a deeper, more intimate way.
God's Word is food for the hungry spirit that invigorates a
believer with God's abundant life! That's why Proverbs 4:21

give Him first place every day of our lives.
Faith Food will help you satisfy your hunger for God's bread of
life. This bite-size devotional is Kenneth E. Hagin's own

Proselytes of a New Nation analyzes questions such as: Why did many
Muslims convert to Greek Orthodoxy? What did conversion mean to the
converts? What were their economic, social, and professional
profiles? And how did conversion affect the converts' relationships
with Muslim relatives in Greece and the Ottoman Empire? Because
Sharia law and the Ottoman legal system could keep Muslim
apostates-Muslims who had converted to other religions-from
inheriting family property, Stefanos Katsikas examines the ways in
which conversion complicated family relations and often led to
legal disputes. This volume also discusses the method used by the
Greek state to adjudicate legal disputes on property issues between
neophytes (converts) and their Muslim relatives. Proselytes of a
New Nation maintains that religious conversion in the era of
nationalism was far more consequential for the convert, their
family, and their social relations. Converts received not only
community attention, but also national. Depending upon the
religious affiliation and nationality of an individual, they
regarded neophytes as either "traitors" or "heroes." Against this
sociopolitical backdrop, conversion more drastically affected the
social fabric of communities than in the pre-modern era, and more
often led to violence and conflict.
In this volume, The Buddhist Society presents Yoka Daishi's
Realizing the Way, a T'ang Dynasty Chinese text known as Zhang Dao
Ge, or Shodoka in Japanese. This 12th century Japanese edition has
been translated by the Venerable Myokyo-ni and accompanied
throughout by her own commentary on the text. The title, which is
variously translated, is most commonly known as 'The Song of
Enlightenment'. With vivid imagery and striking turns of phrase,
these verses weave in and out of the various Mahayana doctrines.
Each section of the Song is accompanied here by extensive and
illuminating commentary.
Originally published in 1978, Zen and the Ways is the first
publication in a series of books published by the Buddhist Society
in association with the Trevor Leggett Trust. In Japanese Zen,
every activity in life, including the martial arts, flower
arrangement and serving tea, are considered a field for practicing
inner control, mediation and inspiration, and can be termed the
'Way' when practised in this manner. In this book, Leggett collects
together translation of texts relating to this phenomenon and
offers his own thoughts and observations on the subject.
A fascinating comparative account of sacred languages and their
role in and beyond religion written for a broad, interdisciplinary
audience Sacred languages have been used for foundational texts,
liturgy, and ritual for millennia, and many have remained virtually
unchanged through the centuries. While the vital relationship
between language and religion has been long acknowledged, new
research and thinking across an array of disciplines including
religious studies, sociolinguistics, sociology, linguistics, and
even neurolinguistics has resulted in a renewed interest in the
area. This fascinating and informative book draws on Christian,
Islamic, Hindu, Judaic, and Buddhist traditions to provide a
concise and accessible introduction to the phenomenon of sacred
languages. The book takes a strongly comparative, wide-ranging
approach to exploring ways in which ancient religious languages,
such as Latin, Pali, Church Slavonic, and Hebrew continue to shape
the beliefs and practices of religious communities around the
world. Informed by both comparative religion and sociolinguistics,
it traces the histories of sacred languages, the myths and
doctrines that explain their origin and value, the various ways
they are used, the sectarian debates that shadow them, and the
technological innovations that propel them forward in the
twenty-first century. * A comprehensive but succinct account of the
role and importance of language within religion * Takes an
interdisciplinary approach which will appeal to students and
scholars across an array of disciplines, including religious
studies, sociology of religion, sociolinguistics, and linguistics *
Provides a strongly comparative exploration, drawing on Christian,
Islamic, Hindu, Judaic, and Buddhist traditions * Uses numerous
examples and ties historic debates with contemporary situations *
Satisfies the rapidly growing demand for books on the subject among
both academics and general readers Sacred Languages of the World is
a must-read for students of religion and language, scripture,
religious literacy, education and language, the sociology of
religion, sociolinguistics. It will also have strong appeal among
general readers with an interest comparative religion, history,
cultural criticism, communication studies, and more.
