Recognizing that human experience is very much influenced by inhabiting bodies, the past decade has seen a surge in studies about representation of bodies in religious experience and human imaginations regarding the Divine. The understanding of embodiment as central to human experience has made a big impact within religious studies particularly in contemporary Christian theology, feminist, cultural and ideological criticism and anthropological approaches to the Hebrew Bible. Within the sub-field of theology of the Hebrew Bible, the conversation is still dominated by assumptions that the God of the Hebrew Bible does not have a body and that embodiment of the divine is a new concept introduced outside of the Hebrew Bible. To a great extent, the insights regarding how body discourse can communicate information have not yet been incorporated into theological studies.

Entering the human race, we walk out into a world, searching for fulfillment. In our pursuit, we struggle with emotional insecurities and faulty relationships. Eventually we find ourselves in a society filled with broken people where many weary travelers are on the same endless quest for peace and well-being. In The Search Stops Here, the author gives details of her personal experiences with depression, anxiety, anger, and suicide. Sharing her journey toward restoration, she explores the root causes of defeat, aiding in figuring out our frustrations and our hurt. She addresses life issues such as control and expectations and provides practical and proven processes for an improved level of health and wholeness. Debbie Calvert insists that the damage of rejection can be repaired, the fight to conquer inferiority ended, and the pain of troubling emotions relieved. Tackling foundational beliefs, the author shows how thought processes affect our behaviors and strongly suggests the need of new "house rules." This book offers convincing evidence of an alternative route - one which is more effective in offering nurture and love, human nature's absolute necessity. Stressing the importance of living one day at a time and better understanding true success, The Search Stops Here challenges us to stop our tiring efforts and end our lifelong search.

Beverly Jane Phillips grew up in a Christian family, married a minister, and served with him in four separate parishes. She was one of the first women in the Presbyterian Church to earn a master of divinity degree. But even during this amazing life, Beverly had trials and days when she did not feel her Lord by her side. She had days when she felt doubt-sometimes even despair.

The Spirit of the Heart is a collection of poems with most written during late 2012 through mid-2013. Each of them resulted from personal thoughts and experiences and from studying God's Word. Before writing down these words I processed them through my heart to be blessed by the Holy Spirit. With the Holy Spirit dwelling in the human heart, the heart opens up to the Truth of being. It takes practice, patience and faith to hear and understand as the Holy Spirit responds, conveys and directs the Truth through the magic of the heart. My hope is that each reader will use these poems as a guide and a catalyst to gain insight into the power and love of the Holy Spirit, who was sent as a Comforter by the love and grace of Jesus Christ.
