Ancient tradition says that much of the Bible's deepest wisdom
lies hidden beneath the surface text. "Mending the Heart, Tending
the Soul," Gail Albert provides a detailed and practical guide to
such deep wisdom, providing interpretations, contemplative
meditations, and personal experiences to act as guides for the
spiritual journey. Exploring texts from Genesis through
Deuteronomy, Albert traces a path of psychological growth and
spiritual transformation that addresses the big questions: Who am
I? What is life about? How should I live each day? Where is G-d?
How can I find peace?
"Mending the Heart, Tending the Soul" seeks to speak to your
heart at each step of the way on the path toward enlightenment.
The parable in Luke 15:1-7 can be seen from three angles. The
dilemma of the shepherd is whether or not to leave the ninety-nine
and go in search of the one lost sheep. It may not make sense
economically and rationally, but he leaves them anyway and begins
his search.
The poor sheep has wandered away and is lost-not hopelessly so,
but lost. The sheep does have hope, and it rests with the shepherd
whose love for her is so vast and so relentless that he won't rest
until he finds the sheep.
And then there's the ninety-nine. Their attitude and behavior
toward the lost sheep is paramount in the story. Will they join in
the search? Will they celebrate with the shepherd once the sheep is
returned? Or will they criticize and whine about how the shepherd
spends all his time searching for the one who is lost?
The One explores the foundational nature of this parable and how
important its implications are for the church and one's own walk
with the Lord. The value that God places on the one is
life-changing for those who come to understand it.
"An intense and powerful vision shared through the lens of
author Ronny Russell's personal and professional spiritual journey.
Authenticity is found in every paragraph that rings with empowering
truth, inspiration, and encouragement for the one. ... I have
watched Ronny's journey for decades and found his passion to be
deep, contagious, and transformational for the one and the remnant
who seek meaning in our fast-paced world filled with churches that
often miss the one to preserve the institution. Ronny serves Christ
above all and finds hope in God's calling and gifting as a member
of the body of Christ. Truly a worthy and engaging read "
-Edward Hammett, author of Spiritual Leadership in a Secular Age
and Recovering Hope for Your Church

Irshad Manji's message of moral courage, with stories about
contemporary reformers such as Martin Luther King, Jr., Gandhi, and
Islam's own Gandhi, inspire and show the way to practicing faith
without fear. Irshad addresses all people, Muslim and non-Muslim
alike, in this universal message about the importance of
independent thought and internal strength, of love, liberty, free
speech, and the pursuit of happiness. Allah, Liberty, and Love is
about creating choices beyond conforming or leaving the faith,
which is what Manji hears from young Muslims who write to her in
frustration, whose emails, letters, and conversations are included
in this book. Manji writes, "I'll show struggling Muslims how to
embrace a third option: reforming ourselves." And she recounts many
affecting stories from young people who have contacted her for
advice on how to step out of limiting views of Islam and the
restrictions they put on life, love, family, and careers.
