A fascinating comparative account of sacred languages and their
role in and beyond religion written for a broad, interdisciplinary
audience Sacred languages have been used for foundational texts,
liturgy, and ritual for millennia, and many have remained virtually
unchanged through the centuries. While the vital relationship
between language and religion has been long acknowledged, new
research and thinking across an array of disciplines including
religious studies, sociolinguistics, sociology, linguistics, and
even neurolinguistics has resulted in a renewed interest in the
area. This fascinating and informative book draws on Christian,
Islamic, Hindu, Judaic, and Buddhist traditions to provide a
concise and accessible introduction to the phenomenon of sacred
languages. The book takes a strongly comparative, wide-ranging
approach to exploring ways in which ancient religious languages,
such as Latin, Pali, Church Slavonic, and Hebrew continue to shape
the beliefs and practices of religious communities around the
world. Informed by both comparative religion and sociolinguistics,
it traces the histories of sacred languages, the myths and
doctrines that explain their origin and value, the various ways
they are used, the sectarian debates that shadow them, and the
technological innovations that propel them forward in the
twenty-first century. * A comprehensive but succinct account of the
role and importance of language within religion * Takes an
interdisciplinary approach which will appeal to students and
scholars across an array of disciplines, including religious
studies, sociology of religion, sociolinguistics, and linguistics *
Provides a strongly comparative exploration, drawing on Christian,
Islamic, Hindu, Judaic, and Buddhist traditions * Uses numerous
examples and ties historic debates with contemporary situations *
Satisfies the rapidly growing demand for books on the subject among
both academics and general readers Sacred Languages of the World is
a must-read for students of religion and language, scripture,
religious literacy, education and language, the sociology of
religion, sociolinguistics. It will also have strong appeal among
general readers with an interest comparative religion, history,
cultural criticism, communication studies, and more.
The business of life is to live and to live well. But in this
day and age we know almost everything about life except how to live
it. We can dissect life and explain its parts and then fail to put
it together again in such a way that it becomes a coordinated,
harmonious whole. Through the vibrant writings of E. Stanley Jones,
discover not only how God desires more for us than we could ever
think or imagine, but freely gives us that abundant life of body,
mind, and spirit.
"Abundant Living," the sequel to "Victorious Living," continues
the journey toward extraordinary life through trusting God and
self-surrender. Written in 1942 by one of the greatest Christian
leaders of the day, experience this classic devotional with a new
foreword by Leonard Sweet.
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.

hope wherever we live. Stories, ranging from one corner of the
world to another, include discovering a forgotten museum,

run away and hide. Questions and resources at the end of each
chapter will help readers think through personal application and

Addicted Loved One: 90 in 90 provides ninety devotions of strength,
hope, and encouragement to families coping with addiction.
Realizing you're not alone in your struggles brings comfort and
confidence to face day-to-day challenges. The overall message of

foundation of the book, offer promises of restoration and
redemption. 90 in 90 reflects the 12 Step model of attending 90
meetings in 90 days. While your loved one attends meetings, you
will read a daily devotional to lend spiritual support. "Today I
pray for other lost addicts to find the hope of recovery. I pray
the families reading this book will continue to have hope that an
addict-any addict-can stop using drugs and find a new way to live.
If there is one thing I can say to family members it is, never quit
fighting. There is always hope. With hope, I, a once hopeless dope
addict, am now a dope-less hope addict." Josh Cosby
Arranged by thirteen themes, this gift-book contains 133 poems,
prayers, songs, invocations and salutations that span the centuries
and draw from many traditions.

Frank Charles Laubach was an Evangelical Christian missionary and
mystic known as "The Apostle to the Illiterates." It was a daily
record of an effort to hear God's instructions, minute by minute,
and to carry them out in a new, creative field which was far beyond
anything the author had undertaken.
A copy of the devotional book originally owned by Abraham Lincoln.
People tell us it is too late to warn of dangers, too late to give
the final message to the world, too late to expect others to
respond to the pleadings of the Word of God as are presented to
them. Oh my friends, it is not too late. We must strive and urge
and plead and warn until the very day that probation ends for
mankind. We are to live the Enoch life This is our commission. And
this is a twofold work: to develop a character of righteousness by
living a life of personal purity and pleading with God and to teach
a lesson of godliness by kindly acts and warning and pleading with
men.
