Book Description
What a difference a year makes. One year ago, Penney Divan, a well-respected and busy high school principal, didn't worry about her health. But that all changed when she learned that she had developed a rare form of breast cancer. It's been a year with new priorities, but she has emerged stronger and wiser. Now, more certain than ever of what really matters in life, she seeks a return to normalcy after the year of the anything-but. She continues her work at school, cautiously renews relationships that were pushed aside, seriously beefs up her travel plans, and sets out with as much optimism and courage as she can on her own journey to truth, beauty, and hope. She wants, more than anything, to believe that she is cured. But the ongoing assaults on her sanity and optimism her own related demons, an unresponsive medical establishment, and the unexpected dearth of concern from family, friends, and colleagues shakes even her own faith. As she finds herself invited down paths both expected and unexpected, she learns that some roads are more productive and predictable than others. In the past year, she's learned a lot about herself, her body, and her relationships. Even with these epiphanies, Penney really doesn't know how she'll respond if her cancer comes back. In Beauty Full, the sequel to Ill Will, Penney discovers that her own passions and resources are the keys to the ultimate source of the beauty that was always within her.

Book Description
Are you believing the great lie that God does not, maybe even could not, love you? The real you? Women struggle under the ongoing weight of “not-enough-ness.” Not attractive enough. Not smart enough. Not fit enough. Not creative enough. Not good enough. Not sexy enough. Not strong enough. Not whole enough. Not womanly enough. And therefore, not beautiful. We are broken and ashamed to be so. In our eyes, brokenness makes us unlovable and unusable. But in his Word, God is clear that he sees us the way we already are in Christ: deeply loved and abundantly influential. Yet we hang back, believing instead the toxic not-enough labels. Hello, Beauty Full explodes the shame-based mythology of our “not-enough-ness.” Instead of believing the hiss of the enemy, women are encouraged to see their beauty the way God does. Chapters include: Voice Lessons: Beauty in Your Unique Personality Valuable Vessels: Beauty in Your Physical Body A Womb of Your Own: Beauty in Your Creative Purpose Scar Stories: Beauty in Your Painful Story Have Your Sway: Beauty in Your Influential Legacy Challenged to not settle for emptiness when Jesus came to give life to the full, women will find the freedom they need to accept their identities when they not only hear but embrace God's heavenly message: "Hello, Beauty Full!"

Confessions of a Born-Again Pagan
Author: Anthony T. Kronman
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300224915
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 1174
Book Description
In this passionate and searching book, Anthony Kronman offers a third way—beyond atheism and religion—to the God of the modern world We live in an age of disenchantment. The number of self-professed “atheists” continues to grow. Yet many still feel an intense spiritual longing for a connection to what Aristotle called the “eternal and divine.” For those who do, but demand a God that is compatible with their modern ideals, a new theology is required. This is what Anthony Kronman offers here, in a book that leads its readers away from the inscrutable Creator of the Abrahamic religions toward a God whose inexhaustible and everlasting presence is that of the world itself. Kronman defends an ancient conception of God, deepened and transformed by Christian belief—the born-again paganism on which modern science, art, and politics all vitally depend. Brilliantly surveying centuries of Western thought—from Plato to Augustine, Aquinas, and Kant, from Spinoza to Nietzsche, Darwin, and Freud—Kronman recovers and reclaims the God we need today.
