O Earth, wrap me
in your leaves-
heal me.
Let me fall
on your Earthbreast-
feed me.
Sing to me
under the round nests
in your cedar trees. . .
Let my wounds
open
and empty
Into your wonderful
compost heap. . .
Let my wounds
become fertile
gardens and
Let me be.
Let me live
again.
In Rhythms of Growth, Linda Douty uses the seasons of the year to
illustrate natural trends in our spiritual lives. For winter, she
writes about themes of rootedness, fallow times, reflection; for
spring awakening, planting, new growth, storms; for summer bearing
fruit, abundance, blossoming, weeding, and pests; for fall letting
go, sifting, harvesting. Douty's conversational style and ability
to bring together the everyday and the holy make this book
appealing for the woman who wants a devotional book that is
applicable to everyday life.
In The Magnificent Defeat, Frederick Buechner examines what it means to follow Christ, the lessons of Christmas and Easter, the miracles of grace, and "the magnificent defeat" of the human soul of God.
Believers in Jesus, as we read in the Scriptures, are "all children
of the light, and children of the day," and are privileged to "walk
in the light, as God is the light," God Himself being "their
everlasting light, and their God their glory." Thus "walking in the
light," they "have fellowship one with another;" and more than
this, "with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ." Abiding in
this light and in this fellowship, their "joy is full," "out of
weakness they are made strong," in all conditions of existence they
find perfect content, and are "more than conquerors through Him
that hath loved us," and "having all sufficiency for all things,
are abundantly furnished for every good work." If all this is not
true of any believer, it is because he is living below his revealed
privileges, and is thus living because he does not "know the things
which are freely given us of God." It contradicts every true idea
of Christian character, to suppose that a true believer in Christ
will "walk in darkness," knowing that he may "walk in the light;"
will remain weak, knowing that he may be girded with "everlasting
strength;" and will continue "carnal, sold under sin," knowing that
he may enjoy "the glorious liberty of the sons of God." The
specific and exclusive object of the following treatise is to make
known to all who would know and understand their privileges as "the
sons of God" and "believers in Jesus," the forms of divine
knowledge above referred to. To the prayerful examination of all
who are "walking in the light," or are inquiring after the light,
the work is commended, with the fervent desire and prayer of the
author, that "their joy may be full." ASA MAHAN (1799-1889) was
America's foremost Christian educator, reformer, philosopher, and
pastor. He was founding president of two colleges and one
university, where he was able to inspire numerous reforms, publish
authoritative philosophical texts, and promote powerful revivals
like his close associate Charles Finney. He led the way on all
important fronts while being severely persecuted. He introduced the
new curriculum later adopted by Harvard, was the first to instruct
and grant liberal college degrees to white and colored women,
advised Lincoln during the Civil War, and among many other
remarkable achievements, was a father to the early evangelical and
holiness movements.
The Reverend Clarence Larkin was one of the most widely influential
thinkers on end-times prophecies of the early twentieth century,
and his writings remain vital to appreciating the apocalyptic
Christian thought that today enjoys widespread popularity. This
1919 book serves as a study guide for the Book of Revelation, the
Bible's prophetic final chapter. Larkin explains the concepts of
the Beast and the False Prophet, the Seven Seals and the Seven
Trumpets, and the importance of the Book of Daniel in understanding
the Rapture. Charts and illustrations depict the "Pale Horse
Rider," "Daniel's Four Wild Beasts," "Egyptian Plagues Compared,"
and more. Also available from Cosimo Classics: Larkin's The Spirit
World, Rightly Dividing the Word, and The Second Coming of Christ.
American Baptist pastor and author CLARENCE LARKIN (1850-1924) was
born in Pennsylvania, and later set up his ministry there. He wrote
extensively and popularly on a wide range of Biblical and
theological matters.
The perfect gift for high school graduates, also available on the
iPhone as an eBook.

Opens up the traditional Jewish prayer book as a spiritual
resource....This groundbreaking new series involves us in a
personal dialogue with God, history and tradition, through the
heritage of prayer. "The prayer book is our Jewish diary of the
centuries, a collection of prayers composed by generations of those
who came before us, as they endeavored to express the meaning of
their lives and their relationship to God. The prayer book is the
essence of the Jewish soul." Framed with beautifully designed
Talmud-style pages, commentaries from many of today's most
respected Jewish scholars from all movements of Judaism examine
Shabbat at home from the perspectives of ancient Rabbis and modern
theologians, as well as feminist, halakhic, Talmudic, linguistic,
biblical, Chasidic, mystical, and historical perspectives. My
People s Prayer Book is a momentous multi-volume series that opens
up the traditional Jewish prayer book (the Siddur) as a spiritual
resource. Commentaries by respected teachers from all perspectives
of the Jewish world provide the spiritual messages that make up the
Siddur. Sometimes awe-striking, sometimes surprising, but always
deeply spiritual, My People s Prayer Book is a gateway to the
riches that the heritage of prayer offers us in our worship, and in
our lives. The seventh volume celebrates Shabbat as a central
family ritual, tracing the development of this loosely structured
liturgy from early prayer books that draw on the classical rabbinic
era, through medieval Jewish practice and the influence of Lurianic
mysticism. Pausing to explore the key moments that mark this sacred
time Erev Shabbat with Kiddush, Kiddusha Rabbah, and Motsa ei
Shabbat with Havdalah Shabbat at Home captures the joy of this holy
day s prayers, blessings, and z mirot (table songs), emphasizing
the renewal of home liturgy in Jewish life and reinforcing the
importance of Shabbat in the Jewish conception of time. Vol. 7
Shabbat at Home features the traditional Hebrew text with a new
translation that lets people know exactly what the prayers say.
Introductions explain what to look for in the prayers, and how to
truly use the commentaries to find meaning in the prayer book.
Commentaries from eminent scholars and teachers from all movements
of Judaism examine Shabbat at Home from the viewpoints of ancient
Rabbis and modern theologians, as well as a myriad of other
perspectives. Even those not yet familiar with the prayer book can
appreciate the spiritual richness of Shabbat at Home. My People s
Prayer Book enables all worshipers, of any denomination, to create
their own connection to 3,000 years of Jewish experience with the
world and with God. Each volume of My People s Prayer Book provides
a new translation of the authentic Hebrew text, with diverse and
exciting commentaries to the traditional liturgy, written by many
of today s most respected scholars and teachers from all
perspectives of the Jewish world. This stunning work, an empowering
entryway to the spiritual revival of our times, enables all of us
to claim our connection to the heritage of the traditional Jewish
prayer book. It helps rejuvenate Jewish worship in today s world,
and makes its power accessible to all."
