Book Description
The publication of the King James version of the Bible, translated between 1603 and 1611, coincided with an extraordinary flowering of English literature and is universally acknowledged as the greatest influence on English-language literature in history. Now, world-class literary writers introduce the book of the King James Bible in a series of beautifully designed, small-format volumes. The introducers' passionate, provocative, and personal engagements with the spirituality and the language of the text make the Bible come alive as a stunning work of literature and remind us of its overwhelming contemporary relevance.

A Commentary on Ecclesiastes
Author: David Pawson
Publisher: Anchor
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
The author writes: The basic questions always begin with “why”, not “how”. People ask :“How can I be happy? How can I make a living? How can I get guidance? How can I do this?” They should be asking, “Why should I make a living? Why should I need guidance?” Science answers the question “how” again and again, but it never answers the question “Why?” It may be able to tell us how the world began, but it doesn’t tell us why, and it is the “why” that is important. Ecclesiastes is a book to tell you why, and that is much more important than how.

Crazy Love

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Revised & Updated Edition! God is love. Crazy, relentless, all-powerful love. Have you ever wondered if we're missing it? It's crazy, if you think about it. The God of the universe—the Creator of nitrogen and pine needles, galaxies and E-minor—loves us with a radical, unconditional, self-sacrificing love. And what is our typical response? We go to church, sing songs, and try not to cuss. Whether you've verbalized it yet or not, we all know something's wrong. Does something deep inside your heart long to break free from the status quo? Are you hungry for an authentic faith that addresses the problems of our world with tangible, even radical, solutions? God is calling you to a passionate love relationship with Himself. Because the answer to religious complacency isn't working harder at a list of do's and don'ts—it's falling in love with God. And once you encounter His love, as Francis describes it, you will never be the same. Because when you're wildly in love with someone, it changes everything.
