Book Description
In this beautiful and broken world, God is here. The heavens declare the glory of God . . . but are we listening? Yes, God created this world, but sometimes we forget that he hasn’t left—that his redemptive, creative work happens still today, right here under our feet. So when we seek for God and study his truth, how much are we missing if we don’t awaken to all he has placed in the soil and sky? God made this world of light and darkness, summer and winter, life and death. What does he intend to teach us in these ever-repeating cycles and seasons? Seamlessly weaving biblical truths into everyday life, Catherine McNiel will help you discover an unbelievable reality: God meets and transforms you in the mess and abundance of every mundane moment.

Book Description
Everyone will agree that a story needs an ending; unless a story goes somewhere, it’s pointless. The purpose of a set-up is to lead toward a conclusion, toward a destination. A story without an ending, without a purpose, is not a story worth telling. The same is true for our lives: we need a destination. We are all part of a larger story, but we’re also writing our own individual stories. Hashem created us in this world with unlimited potential, but that was only the “set-up” ― the beginning of our story. Without a purposeful destination, a clear goal, and a deeper understanding of who we are and who we are meant to be, the set-up lacks true meaning. We need to make this a meaningful journey ― a story of growth, creativity, and contribution. This book is written to help you along your personal journey, to help you become the ultimate version of yourself. As you learn through this sefer, plant the ideas within your mind and soul, and bring them to life. Make your life a meaningful journey, an extraordinary story.

Book Description
Journey into Intimacy: A Study in the Song of Solomon embraces the Bibles most tender depiction of Gods love for His people, revealed in this brief and evocative biblical love poem. In its own way, Christy Hills study responds to the beloveds invitation: Rise up, my love, my fair one, / And come away (Song of Solomon 2:10). The study asks of God, revealed through the biblical text, the same thing the bride asks of her beloved: Let me see your face, / Let me hear your voice; / For your voice is sweet, / And your face is lovely (Song of Solomon 2:14). Making its way through the Song of Solomon, Journey into Intimacy presents the books passages and offers reflections and commentary on them over the course of six parts that correspond with the natural shifts in the biblical book. The authors approach rests upon listening to the Song of Solomon as an allegory that tells the story of the bride of Christ on earth as love lifts her out of fear and oppression and gives her new life with the King. On the other hand, Journey into Intimacy also tells the story of Christ, the bridegroom who seeks and woos His bride, revealing His heart for her. Journey into Intimacy: A Study in the Song of Solomon ventures into the depths of Gods love, where hearts that hunger may find a feast and searching hearts a home.

Book Description
Bestselling author of Geography of Bliss returns with this funny, illuminating chronicle of a globe-spanning spiritual quest to find a faith that fits. When a health scare puts him in the hospital, Eric Weiner-an agnostic by default-finds himself tangling with an unexpected question, posed to him by a well-meaning nurse. "Have you found your God yet?" The thought of it nags him, and prods him-and ultimately launches him on a far-flung journey to do just that. Weiner, a longtime "spiritual voyeur" and inveterate traveler, realizes that while he has been privy to a wide range of religious practices, he's never seriously considered these concepts in his own life. Face to face with his own mortality, and spurred on by the question of what spiritual principles to impart to his young daughter, he decides to correct this omission, undertaking a worldwide exploration of religions and hoping to come, if he can, to a personal understanding of the divine. The journey that results is rich in insight, humor, and heart. Willing to do anything to better understand faith, and to find the god or gods that speak to him, he travels to Nepal, where he meditates with Tibetan lamas and a guy named Wayne. He sojourns to Turkey, where he whirls (not so well, as it turns out) with Sufi dervishes. He heads to China, where he attempts to unblock his chi; to Israel, where he studies Kabbalah, sans Madonna; and to Las Vegas, where he has a close encounter with Raelians (followers of the world's largest UFO-based religion). At each stop along the way, Weiner tackles our most pressing spiritual questions: Where do we come from? What happens when we die? How should we live our lives? Where do all the missing socks go? With his trademark wit and warmth, he leaves no stone unturned. At a time when more Americans than ever are choosing a new faith, and when spiritual questions loom large in the modern age, Man Seeks God presents a perspective on religion that is sure to delight, inspire, and entertain.

Book Description
Journey into God's Promises is a book that contains 30 chapters of various topics of Holy Scripture, and seeks to enlighten the reader with the understanding of the Holy Spirit. Jacob's testimony is at the beginning of the book, and it details His encounter with God in the year 2007, and how God wants people to seek His face and learn to live an abundant life by faith. This book will show people that God has a plan for each life, and it's important to find His plan and wait upon Him for the answer. Many of the topics of this book are things like the indescribable love of God, the marriage in the Lord, dedication to the Word of God, usage of money, the importance of God's Wisdom, and other various pieces of wisdom. The Revelations of the Spirit are very important in this hour, and it's important that God's people come apart and be sanctified for Jesus Christ, and to desire to know Him intimately, even face-to-face. Journey into God's Promises tells the plain truth that knowing God and following Jesus is not a one-day event, but a life-long journey, such as for people like Abraham and David. The Lord has many things to share with His people, things that cannot be found in books, and only walking in the Holy Spirit can cause people to find the golden path that ends in glory!

Book Description
Every life has a final destination... The path we choose will set the course to the final outcome. In The Journey to Purpose, Eduardo Gomez strives to inspire people of all backgrounds to pursue a life of purpose. It is Eduardo’s belief everyone was created for a reason, but the responsibility of that purpose rests within the individual. His philosophy on life is one that highlights the harshness of life, while understanding life will not cater to you or your feelings. In addition, Eduardo highlights the reality of “Death’s time clock” to illustrate we have a limited time to accomplish the purpose for our lives. Death waits for no one and does not negotiate a timeframe for your departure of this world. Ultimately, it is up to us to make the conscious decision to choose to go after the things etched in our hearts to accomplish.

Book Description
In this rich book Matthew Levering explores nine key virtues that we need to die (and live) well: love, hope, faith, penitence, gratitude, solidarity, humility, surrender, and courage. Retrieving and engaging a variety of biblical, theological, historical, and medical resources, Levering journeys through the various stages and challenges of the dying process, beginning with the fear of annihilation and continuing through repentance and gratitude, suffering and hope, before arriving finally at the courage needed to say goodbye to one’s familiar world. Grounded in careful readings of Scripture, the theological tradition, and contemporary culture, Dying and the Virtues comprehensively and beautifully shows how these nine virtues effectively unite us with God, the One who alone can conquer death.
