Are you longing for quiet, gentle peace and strengthening comfort?
Are you searching for a sense of purpose, meaning, significance,
and belonging? Are you aching to be understood, accepted, and loved
for who you are? Listen to your Savior's gentle whisper, "Come unto
Me." Writing with warmth and intimacy, Tania Frankie conveys that
you are deeply loved by the Lord. He longs for you to draw near and

we are reminded that God loves us just the way we are. In "I Am
Real," God asks that we seek Him daily. "Come Unto Me" is a
powerful, intimate devotional that will draw you into the loving
heart of God. It will inspire you to walk in a deep and wondrous
relationship with your heavenly Father, producing lasting peace,
joy, purpose, and meaning.
This textbook introduces and explores the ideas, practices and
philosophy of engaged Buddhism. The movement holds that suffering
is not just caused by the cravings of the mind, but also by
political and social factors; therefore, engaged Buddhists 'engage'
with social issues to achieve liberation. Paul Fuller outlines the
movement's origins and principles. He then offers a comprehensive
analysis of the central themes and issues of engaged Buddhism,
offering new insights into the formation of modern Buddhism. The
range of issues covered includes politics, gender,
environmentalism, identity, blasphemy and violence. These are
illustrated by case studies and examples from a range of locations
where Buddhism is practised. Discussion points and suggested
further reading are provided at the end of each chapter, which will
further enrich undergraduates' grasp of the topic.
Discussions on non-human animals, other-than-human persons and
religion originally emerged within the context of Christian
theology, eco-theology and Western-based environmentalism. In
response to that, and by adhering to post-modern discourses on, for
instance, indigeneity, mimicry and hybridity, the volume explores
South Asian cultural manifestations and aspects of localised
knowledge in relation to the construction and the Otherisation of
the concept of body and behaviour in non-human animals. The study
of non-human animals as other-than-human persons (actual animals,
but also animal-spirits, animal deities, etc.) has marked a
significant shift in the ethics/politics of the academic study of
religion. The chapters in this book investigate how South Asian
religions, with their sacred narratives, ritualised practices and
popular performances, bear witness to the active presence of
non-human animals as both culture makers/bearers and symbols of
spirituality. Further to that, with bourgeoning debates on
religion, indigeneity, eco-theology and environmentalism, the
volume urges for a consolidation and promotion of an analysis of
the twofold epistemic violence exerted towards animals as subaltern
to human animals and to animals in Western and Christian
traditions. The book is divided into fifteen chapters, each dealing
with non-human animals and the concept of animality in different
South Asian traditions, or various aspects of the same tradition.
The structure of the book reflects that of what is probably the
most popular collection of folk tales on animals in South Asia, the
Pancatantra. Like the original text, the volume is divided into
five books (tantras) whose single stories (our chapters) act as
sub-strings inscribed in larger narrative frames. As in the
original Pancatantra, the principal themes of each book are
signalled by key words which provide the link between successive
narrative cycles. Such a structural arrangement creates the
backbone for the main body of the book allowing for an articulate,
clear and reasoned discussion of single themes, such as 1)
non-human animals as divine portents in situations of imbalance; 2)
non-human animals as restorers of order and symbols of cultural
identity; 3) non-human animals as exemplary beings and spiritual
teachers in sacred narratives; 4) non-human animals as symbols of
love and object of human reverence; 5) non-human animals as
portents symbolising the life cycle, including its inevitable end.
In the conclusion, the editors summarise what has been achieved
with this academic 'narrative' and reflect constructively on its
outcomes as well as future developments with respect to past and
present scholarship.
Our Daily Walk is an exceptional collection of 366 Bible readings,
one for every day of the Christian year. These discussions
encourage the reader to be mindful of virtue and the essential
teachings of the Bible scripture. For decades, F. B. Meyer
delivered lectures and sermons regarding matters important to the
congregation. Speaking with those who attended his talks, he gained
a good impression of what the Christian believer was concerned
about, and what they required for spiritual nourishment in their
day-to-day lives. This convenient book represents the sum of
Meyer's years of Bible study and preaching; a collection of
poignant passages chosen for their ability to inspire those in need
of advice or motivation. Our Daily Walk draws on both the New and
Old Testaments of the Bible, with many of a given day's discussions
referencing multiple books to crystallize the lessons in the
reader's mind. Each thought is aptly concluded with a prayer that
the reader can keep in mind throughout a day's trials.
First published in 2000. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.

What would you think if you received a fax from Heaven? Burke
Aldridge died at Baptist Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee. Before
he died, he told his wife he would send her a fax from Heaven,
letting her know he was all right. Two doctors from Nashville claim
they have seen Burke in their homes, since he died. The doctors
faxed letters to Faye, sharing details of the after-death
appearances and messages from her deceased husband. This book
contains many true stories offering evidence of God's presence in
one family's spiritual journey.
It is no coincidence that you have this book in your hands today.
The Lord had it prepared especially for you, for your needs, for
you to win your daily battles, and for you to take the power and
authority He has given those who believe and trust in Him. It is
the moment to behold the fulfillment of the promises that the Lord
has for your life and to take the blessings for you and your
family. Be born again, believe the Lord and confess His word and
you will see great wonders which you have never imagined. After
reading even the first page, your life will never be the same
again. The Spirit of the Lord, especially for you, will fill you
with His love, faithfulness and grace, just because He loves you
and knows you. Live this unique and personal relationship that only
the Lord can give you. As He did with me, so can He do it with you.
Let yourself be an instrument of the Lord. Remember that it is
"Especially For You." Live it and take it in your life in the name
of Jesus.
