Book Description
Stories are the stuff of life--and everyone loves a story. How better to learn about our faith than through brief anecdotes followed by to-the-point reflections! Here Father John Hillier offers 425 such "anecdotes and Scripture notes" about topics of deep relevance for Catholic spirituality today: discipleship, conversion, adversity, conflict, prejudice, perseverance, tragedy, courage, and compassion. His reflections offer a Catholic "take" on a multitude of human experiences and thus are informative as well as enjoyable to read. His hope is that through these stories and reflections readers will be inspired to spend more time in prayer and reflection.

Book Description
Fate………is now seconds closer. Time to ponder life’s questions: Does God exist? Just ask a cell biologist, the Japanese ophthalmologist who fainted, or a listener to Bach's Erbarme dich, mein Gott. This book's 25 God topics exhibit Beauty, Order, Coding, and/or Design. Even Fate is designed…now closer! Come see the evidence for God. Why am I here on Earth? It depends: ➔ If God is a myth to you, then live like a tourist and pay the Fate fee later. But postpone the carefree lifestyle until you consider Pascal’s Wager within. ➔ If you believe that God exists, then live like a pilgrim with the enclosed Street Map to Heaven in hand. It leads you to a destiny that no eye has seen nor ear has heard. Pure joy! How do I get to Heaven? Glad you asked. Jesus answers with the Mark 16:16 verse – presented here as an eternity map. So your journey is clearly laid out, and it’s an easy yoke with Jesus beside you. Come run the map’s 8 streets… with Christ and to Christ. That is, if eternal happiness is your thing. Author's promise➔ A Christian book is a labor of love when it takes thousands of hours to produce it, it's granted an Imprimatur by the Catholic Church, and all author royalties are promised to be given to the poor. This is such a book. Rest in these thoughts, and in the adventure described within on our most precious Catholic faith. Come, and you will see.

Book Description
Latter-day Saints already familiar with the New Testament will find a wealth of new insights into the cultural, historical, and literary background of the Gospels. Research previously shrouded in academic jargon is presented in a way that is not only understandable, but encourages readers to evaluate the evidence for themselves and to draw their own conclusions. Over 4,000 thought-provoking questions allow readers to ponder the scriptures in new and exciting ways. In many ways, this book immediately and directly facilitates a close, deliberate, and thoughtful reading of the scriptural text.

Book Description
This volume studies how the literary elements in the Qur'an function in conveying its religious message effectively. It is divided into three parts. Part one includes studies of the whole Qur'an or large segments of it belonging to one historical period of its revelation; these studies concentrate on the analysis of its language, its style, its structural composition, its aesthetic characteristics, its rhetorical devices, its imagery, and the impact of these elements and their significance. Part two includes studies on individual suras of the Qur'an, each of which focuses on the sura's literary elements and how they produce meaning; each also explores the structure of this meaning and the coherence of its effect. Part three includes studies on Muslim appreciations of the literary aspects of the Qur'an in past generations and shows how modern linguistic, semantic, semiotic, and literary scholarship can add to their contributions.
