Winner of the Books for a Better Life Award Chosen as one of "The
10 Best Spiritual Books of 2006" by Spirituality and Health
magazine Rabbi Irwin Kula explores desire in spiritual life. Rather
than leading us astray, our longings are gateways to self
discovery. Our yearnings, once understood, can lead us to discover
an expansive vision of God or a wider reality. And when we embrace
even our most painful or taboo desires, we can love more deeply and
live more fully. The Biblical authors wrote about characters who,
rather than leading perfect lives, actually struggled with their
longings for success, love, sex, and happiness. Through
interpreting those stories and other spiritual traditions, as well
as exploring his own desires and those of regular people, Rabbi
Kula shows that "The more we allow ourselves to unfold, the less
likely we are to unravel. The more we dive into our desires, the
more exquisite life becomes."

J.C. Ryle has become one of the most loved of British authors on
church matters. He was the first Bishop of Liverpool, managing to
establish a thriving diocese in that most sectarian of English
cities. Although a convinced evangelical he was regarded as
fairminded by those who disagreed with him. Even Ryle's opponents
in church politics wept when he died. His books have remained in
print for a hundred years because Ryle was able to touch the person
in the street with clear teaching on doctrinal matters. He showed
how the Bible was relevant. His writings thus lend themselves to a
devotional format and here is a new selection different to any that
have gone before. Here Eric Russell has arranged writings according
to themes that develop the reader's understanding on a topic before
moving on to new pastures. It is as refreshing as it is profound.
In life, as in sports, a quick time-out to rethink and re-center on
the goal is a smart strategy. The Heart of an Athlete Playbook
gives readers regular spiritual training for life on and off the
field. This collection of 31 devotional readings are a quick start
for athletes at any level, offering memorable, biblical insights
for handling challenges and playing with God's purposes in mind.
Readers will be introduced to the FCA devotional method, "PRESS,"
designed with athletes in mind: Pray, Read, Examine, Summarize, and
Share, and will discover how to use biblical principles to become a
dynamic competitor for Christ.
Women who are facing the reality of widowhood are often connected
by a common thread of grief and uncertainty. "Hope for an Aching
Heart" offers encouragement to help readers handle the challenges
of each day with God's grace. Sharing from a widow's heart, the
author weaves personal stories, Scripture, and prayers into 60 days
of inspirational thoughts that motivate readers to draw closer to
God. This heartfelt and engaging devotional helps to broaden
women's understanding of the depth of God's love, His tender care,
and His promise to always be with them.
The twenty-seven books of the New Testament present the life and
teachings of Jesus, the history of the early church, and
instruction for believers throughout the ages. Studying these books
not only provides a greater understanding of Jesus Christ, but are
the primary source for inspiration and direction in the Christian
life.
"Living the New Testament" offers a concise explanation of key
biblical passages from Matthew to Revelation as well as practical
applications for living out the truths and teachings of Jesus.
Beginning with a selected Scripture passage, each daily reading
encourages and stimulates spiritual growth and ends with an
inspirational thought to ponder throughout the day. Writing in his
classic accessible style that readers came to love in "Approaching
God," pastor, teacher, and theologian Paul Enns delivers an
easy-to-read devotional that will challenge, instruct, and
encourage readers' walks with God.

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 *

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
