The revolutionary new offering from Jordan B. Peterson, renowned
psychologist and author of the global bestseller 12 Rules for Life
In We Who Wrestle with God, Jordan Peterson guides us through the
ancient, foundational stories of the Western world, analyzing the
Biblical accounts of rebellion, sacrifice, suffering and triumph that
stabilize, inspire and unite us, culturally and psychologically. Adam
and Eve and the eternal fall of mankind; the resentful and ultimately
murderous war of Cain and Abel; the cataclysmic flood of Noah, the
spectacular collapse of the Tower of Babel; Abraham’s terrible
adventure, and the epic of Moses and the Israelites: What could such
stories possibly mean? What force wrote and assembled them, over the
long centuries? How did they bring our spirits and the world together,
and point us in the same direction?
It is time for us to understand such things, scientifically and
spiritually; to become conscious of the structure of our souls and our
societies – to see ourselves and others as if for the first time.
Join Elijah as he discovers the Voice of God in the dictates of his own
conscience, and Jonah, confronting hell itself, in the belly of the
whale, because he failed to listen and act. Set yourself straight in
intent, aim and purpose, as you begin to more deeply understand the
structure of your society and your soul. Journey with Jordan Peterson
through the greatest stories ever told.
Dare to wrestle with God.
Janet Hodgson traces the life of Xhosa prophet Ntsikana (1780–1821) from his birth through his years as a Christian convert, evangelist, and composer of enduring hymns.
Ntsikana is known as one of the first Christians to adapt Christian ideas to African culture, writing hymns in isiXhosa and translating concepts into terms that resonated with his Xhosa community.
Even today, his hymns are among the most important in the amaXhosa churches, and he is regarded as an important symbol of both African unity and Black Consciousness.

Have you forgotten how wondrous life can be? Christopher de Vinck
offers a timeless collection of wisdom on family, childhood, God,
love, compassion, buttered toast, snowmen, Hamlet, Bugs Bunny,
bees. For anyone who is caught up in the hustle and bustle of life,
weary and perhaps a little jaded by all that seems wrong in the
world, this is a book that helps us to see again. In essays that
are warm, evocative, and often amusing, Christopher De Vinck gives
us back the eyes of a child, the fresh vision of delight, and a
renewed reminder that we are surrounded with awe that we often take
for granted. This is a book about living with a perpetual array of
treasures: the voices of people we love, the taste of marzipan, the
sounds of October geese. This is a book that reminds us to look,
smell, see, touch, and listen to what is revealed to us each
morning. Chris invites us to realize life as we live it, every
minute. Reflecting on the joys of family, writing, and education,
Chris doesn't shy away from loneliness, disappointments and
regrets. His is a voice that combines both the joys and sorrows of
living, speaking with hope and acceptance, and celebrating the
power of simplicity in our modern age. "In his classic book The
Little Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupery famously suggested that 'it
is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential
is invisible to the eye.' With the elegance of a poet, the wonder
of child-like eyes, and the discipline of one who steadfastly pays
attention to the world around and within him, Christopher de
Vinck's Things That Matter Most helps us see with our hearts-to see
rightly-those things that are essential to a life well-lived: A
place to truly call home, friends who sustain and nurture one
another, and the love of a God who knows us as children of great
worth." -Jeff Crosby, author of Language of the Soul: Meeting God
in the Longings of Our Hearts
You deserve to stop suffering because of what other people have done to
you.
Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of unresolved pain, playing
offenses over and over in your mind? You know you can't go on like
this, but you don't know what to do next. Lysa TerKeurst has wrestled
through this journey. But in surprising ways, she’s discovered how to
let go of bound-up resentment and overcome the resistance to forgiving
people who aren’t willing to make things right.
With deep empathy, therapeutic insight, and rich Bible teaching coming
out of more than 1,000 hours of theological study, Lysa will help you:
- Learn how to move on when the other person refuses to
change and never says they're sorry.
- Walk through a step-by-step process to free yourself from
the hurt of your past and feel less offended today.
- Discover what the Bible really says about forgiveness and
the peace that comes from living it out right now.
- Identify what's stealing trust and vulnerability from your
relationships so you can believe there is still good ahead.
- Disempower the triggers hijacking your emotions by
embracing the two necessary parts of forgiveness.
A new, but ancient, way to pray can turn your life around. Discover
how to experience God's love at your core, freeing you to love
others, and even yourself. When biblical scholar and coach Brian
Russell discovered centering prayer at a difficult crossroad in his
life, he had no idea how his life would change. "Sensing God's love
for me has been so transformational that it almost feels as though
I've experienced conversion all over again," he writes. He became
calmer, less anxious, less reactive, freed of past wounds, and a
better listener in the presence of others. Centering prayer, also
known as the prayer of silence, helps you quiet your mind from the
constant thoughts and impulses, and frees your true self to
experience more of God's love in the very core of your being. This
inviting guide gives you practical tools to make centering prayer a
consistent habit in your life, gives the history and theological
foundation for the practice, and helps identify and overcome common
obstacles. Beginners, as well as seasoned practitioners, will gain
inspiration, rich insight, and practical knowledge of a
contemplative prayer practice that can open you up to deep
experiences of inner healing and peace.
