In The Word on the Street, John Martens brings the Bible to where
people live: in the church, at home, at work, and in the broader
world. This Lectionary commentary for every Sunday of the
liturgical year will help readers understand the Bible in light of
their daily lives, experiences, and challenges and will help Sunday
Mass preachers find new ways to articulate God's work in the world.
John Martens is known for his contributions to "The Word," a
popular column in America magazine. The Word on the Street, Year C
is the final book in a three-volume series that presents
scriptural, liturgical, and preaching commentary for Sundays
throughout the year.
One in five Americans has anxiety significant enough to be
diagnosed, and a recent poll showed that 62 percent of people feel
more anxious than they did a year ago. But while we're facing new
challenges, anxiety itself is as old as time. It's an inescapable
part of being human in this world, but it doesn't have to control
our thoughts, our days, or our lives. Counselor, life coach, and
Wall Street Journal bestselling author Holley Gerth wants you to
break free of anxiety's grip so that you can experience an inner
calm despite your outer circumstances. She knows from personal
experience what it's like to struggle with anxiety. During this
60-day journey, she comes alongside you as a trusted friend,
offering hard-won personal insights, biblical advice, and the
latest brain science to help you take control of your anxious
thoughts once and for all. Each devotion includes Scripture,
prayer, and questions for further reflection.
The "I Ching" originated in China as a divination manual more
than three thousand years ago. In 136 BCE the emperor declared it a
Confucian classic, and in the centuries that followed, this work
had a profound influence on the philosophy, religion, art,
literature, politics, science, technology, and medicine of various
cultures throughout East Asia. Jesuit missionaries brought
knowledge of the "I Ching" to Europe in the seventeenth century,
and the American counterculture embraced it in the 1960s. Here
Richard Smith tells the extraordinary story of how this cryptic and
once obscure book became one of the most widely read and
extensively analyzed texts in all of world literature.
In this concise history, Smith traces the evolution of the "I
Ching" in China and throughout the world, explaining its complex
structure, its manifold uses in different cultures, and its
enduring appeal. He shows how the indigenous beliefs and customs of
Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and Tibet "domesticated" the text, and he
reflects on whether this Chinese classic can be compared to
religious books such as the Bible or the Qur'an. Smith also looks
at how the "I Ching" came to be published in dozens of languages,
providing insight and inspiration to millions worldwide--including
ardent admirers in the West such as Leibniz, Carl Jung, Philip K.
Dick, Allen Ginsberg, Hermann Hesse, Bob Dylan, Jorge Luis Borges,
and I. M. Pei. Smith offers an unparalleled biography of the most
revered book in China's entire cultural tradition, and he shows us
how this enigmatic ancient classic has become a truly global
phenomenon.

"The thumbprint . . . is for me a singular clue to human identity.
. . . Just as each human thumbprint is unique, its pattern
inscribed on the work of our hands and minds, the Creator's is even
more so-the original thumbprints on the universe," declares poet
Luci Shaw. We worship an endlessly creative God whose thumbprints
are reflected everywhere we look-in sunsets, mountains, ocean
waves-and in the invisible rhythms that shape our lives, such as
the movement of planets around the sun. And this creative and
ever-creating God has also left indelible thumbprints on us. We
reflect God's imprint most clearly, perhaps, in our own creating
and appreciation for beauty. A longing for beauty is inherent to
being human. We don't create things that are purely practical; we
desire them to be aesthetically pleasing as well. Beauty is also
powerful, in its redemptiveness, generosity, inspiration. In
reflecting on the role of beauty in our lives, Luci Shaw writes,
"Beauty is Love taking form in human lives and the works of their
hands." So come, join Luci Shaw as she ponders through the beauty
of poetry and prose the places, sometimes unexpected, where she
encounters God's fingerprints, and let it help you learn to see
them in your life as well.
