Topping the "New York Times "list and selling three million copies,
"The Love Dare "has established itself as more than a book; it's an
unstoppable marriage movement. And like the husband in "Fireproof
"(the film where "The Love Dare "originated), readers know this
40-day challenge to understand and practice unconditional love with
their spouse need not end when the book does. With that in mind,
"The Love Dare Day by Day "(available here in Spanish) encourages
and challenges couples toward new steps in faith and love with 365
marital encouragements, reminders, and action points worth
repeating year after year. Unconditional love is eagerly promised
at weddings, but rarely practiced in real life. As a result,
romantic hopes are often replaced with disappointment in the home.
But it doesn't have to stay that way. Whether your marriage is
hanging by a thread or healthy and strong, "The Love Dare Day by
Day "is a journey you need to take. It's time to learn the keys to
finding true intimacy and developing a dynamic marriage. Take the
dare-every day of the year
The Babylonia Talmud is an immense collection of laws, practices,
and customs of the Jewish people, edited in its present form in the
fifth century. Tractate Megilla (literally, 'scroll') concerns a
deep exegesis of the history and customs of the holiday of Purim,
when the Jewish people in ancient Persia were saved through the
intervention of Queen Esther at the last minute from extermination
by the wicked Haman. It is a holiday of gaiety and commemoration.
The Talmud is often extremely difficult to understand, and tractate
Megilla is no exception. The Whole Megilla is an effort to explain
the text, page by page, for interested readers. It affords the
reader an opportunity to capture the flavor of the Talmud and
follow the notoriously demanding text.
Samuel Rutherford was a 17th Century Scottish Presbyterian preacher
whose writings have had a profound impact on Christians throughout
the generations. He was one of the Scottish Commissioners to the
Westminster Assembly, and his best-known work, Lex, Rex, had far
reaching influence. This collection of quotes, collated by editor
Malcolm MacLean, give an idea of the power his words had. Although
no more than a sentence or two, each of these quotes has a
profundity which leaves the reader thinking long after they have
closed the book. The quotations are split into topics: Jesus and
the Gospel Jesus - His Person and Work Communion with Jesus God
Christian Living Christian Service Thinking of Heaven Eternity and
Time For those who have never read Samuel Rutherford's works
before, this is a delectable introduction, encouraging you to seek
out his full works. For those who need no introduction to his
writings, these quotes are a quick reminder of the great truths he
strived to preach and the great God he strived to proclaim.
Nous Chantons Nous Restons Ensemble (We Sing We Stay Together):
Prieres du service du matin de Shabbat est un recueil de prieres a
chanter pour le service a la synagogue du matin de Shabbat
(samedi), tres facile a utiliser, avec une translitteration en
caracteres romains, une traduction et une explication du service.
Son principal objectif est de faciliter au possible l'apprentissage
des prieres en ecoutant et en chantant sur les 64 pistes musicales
du CD du meme nom ; mais il represente aussi, en lui-meme, un outil
didactique qui donne la signification des mots et du service. Nos
prieres juives sont de beaux chants d'amour, pleines de bonte,
d'affection, d'adoration, d'espoir, de bienveillance et de
generosite. Elles sont notre ADN, meme si nous ne les connaissons
pas, car ces prieres, notre religion, ont faconne le peuple juif,
notre facon de penser, notre education, qui nous sommes et ce que
nous representons. Le judaisme c'est etre bon et positif envers
soi-meme, la famille, la communaute, le monde en general - tout
ceci par respect et par amour pour Hashem. Cela me remplit de
gratitude, d'humilite et de fierte. Notre heritage est une
benediction intellectuelle, culturelle, spirituelle et religieuse -
mais nous avons besoin d'un acces facile. Je n'ai jamais pu prendre
part, encore moins prendre plaisir, a un service du matin de
Shabbat, mais j'aimais ces moments ou la communaute se rassemble et
chante quelques courtes prieres aux melodies touchantes. Il n'y en
avait simplement pas assez, il nous fallait plus de chants, bien
plus ! La communaute tourne autour de la famille et des amis, et
nous sommes tous amis, c'est meme ecrit dans l'une de nos prieres.
Nos prieres demandent a etre chantees avec beaucoup de joie,
clairement et harmonieusement. Les prieres communes servent a
renforcer les liens, a partager, ce qui n'est possible que si nous
pouvons tous participer de facon egale, et pour ce faire il nous
faut des paroles clairement enoncees qui soient faciles a apprendre
et agreables a chanter. Je dedie cet ouvrage de mise en musique des
prieres du matin de Shabbat et de redaction d'un recueil des
paroles de ces prieres a tous ceux qui aiment et se soucient de la
Continuite Juive, de la Torah et de l'Etat-Nation du Peuple Juif,
Israel ; ainsi qu'a tous nos merveilleux amis, les justes parmi les
nations. Souvenez-vous de vous souvenir que lorsque nous chantons
ensemble, nous restons ensemble. AM ISRAEL CHAI - le peuple
d'Israel vit. Avec amour et espoir pour nos enfants, Richard
Collis.
The clear font, clean graphic layout and elegant design of The
Koren Classic Yom Kippur Machzor evoke one of the main themes of
the holiest day of the Jewish year purity. The machzor's
comfortable size and light weight allow you to concentrate on what
is in your heart. It is a machzor that will deepen your Yom Kippur
experience year after year.
The Stations of the Cross unfold for us a story of the passion and
pain - where all sources of evil are connected: jealousy, betrayal,
cowardice, injustice, cruelty and weakness. Jesus takes everything
on himself and assumes all human suffering. The Stations of the
Cross are in the present tense: Jesus is condemned, Jesus takes his
Cross, Jesus meets, Simon carries, Veronica wipes and Jesus is
stripped. It is our tears that flow down his cheek, our pain that
is felt in his bruised, battered body. The Stations of the Cross is
a prayer in motion. They spell out for us that suffering and death
do not have the last word because God cares for all creation.
We Sing We Stay Together: Shabbat Morning Service Prayers is a
super user-friendly Sing-Along prayer book for the Shabbat
(Saturday) Morning Synagogue Service with TRANSLITERATED ENGLISH
TEXT, translation and explanation of the service. Its primary
purpose is to make it beyond easy to learn the prayers when
listening and singing along to the 64 track music CD album set of
the same name; but it also stands, in its own right, as a learning
tool explaining the meaning of the words and the service. Our
Jewish prayers are beautiful love songs; full of goodness,
affection, adoration, hope, kindness and generosity. They are our
DNA, even if we do not know them, because these prayers, our
religion, have moulded the Jewish people; our way of thinking,
education, who we are, and what we represent. Judaism is all about
being good and positive for oneself, family, community, the wider
world - all out of respect and love for Hashem. It fills me with
gratitude, humility, and pride. Our heritage is an intellectual,
cultural, spiritual and religious blessing - but we need easy
access. I was never able to participate in, let alone enjoy, the
Shabbat Morning Service, but I loved those moments when the whole
community comes together and sings a few short prayers with moving
melodies. There just was not enough of it, we needed more singing,
much more! Community is all about family and friends, and we are
all friends, it is actually written in one of our prayers. Our
prayers are crying out to be sung with great happiness, clearly and
harmoniously. Communal prayers are all about belonging, sharing,
and that is only possible if we can all join in as equals; and for
that we need clearly articulated words that are easy to learn and
enjoyable to sing. I dedicate this project of melodizing the
Shabbat Morning Service prayers and writing a Sing-Along prayer
book to all who love and care for Jewish Continuity, Judaism,
Torah, and the Nation-State of the Jewish People, Israel; and so
also to all our wonderful friends, the righteous among the nations.
Remember to remember that when we sing together, we stay together.
AM ISRAEL CHAI - the people of Israel live. With love, and hope for
our children, Richard Collis
