Book Description
The Confidence of Wildflowers My future is a big 'what if' at the moment and I'm fine with that. For the most part. When Thayer Holmes moves in next door, the grumpy landscaper both fascinates and amuses me. When he asks me to nanny his kid, it's a great way to make some extra money. It's impossible not to fall in love with Thayer and his adorable son. There's a big problem though. I'm eighteen. He's thirty-one. Falling for someone almost fifteen years older than me wasn't part of my plans, but sometimes things happen when you least expect them. The Resurrection of Wildflowers His heart was shattered beyond repair. My life was irrevocably changed. And so I left him. I started over. I married someone else. But I never forgot him. It's been six years since I last saw Thayer Holmes. Being forced to return to my hometown means confronting our past head on and dealing with the fallout of my divorce. I'm now in the same spot he was when we met. Starting over. There are no secrets we can keep anymore. Not all love gets a second chance, but maybe we'll be the exception. Then again, maybe not.

A Generous Orthodoxy
Author: Brian D. McLaren
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310565790
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 354
Book Description
A confession and manifesto from a senior leader in the emerging church movement. A Generous Orthodoxy calls for a radical, Christ-centered orthodoxy of faith and practice in a missional, generous spirit. Brian McLaren argues for a post-liberal, post-conservative, post-protestant convergence, which will stimulate lively interest and global conversation among thoughtful Christians from all traditions.In a sweeping exploration of belief, author Brian McLaren takes us across the landscape of faith, envisioning an orthodoxy that aims for Jesus, is driven by love, and is defined by missional intent. A Generous Orthodoxy rediscovers the mysterious and compelling ways that Jesus can be embraced across the entire Christian horizon. Rather than establishing what is and is not “orthodox,” McLaren walks through the many traditions of faith, bringing to the center a way of life that draws us closer to Christ and to each other. Whether you find yourself inside, outside, or somewhere on the fringe of Christianity, A Generous Orthodoxy draws you toward a way of living that looks beyond the “us/them” paradigm to the blessed and ancient paradox of “we.”

Contemporary Music and Spirituality
Author: Robert Sholl
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317160657
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
The flourishing of religious or spiritually-inspired music in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries remains largely unexplored. The engagement and tensions between modernism and tradition, and institutionalized religion and spirituality are inherent issues for many composers who have sought to invoke spirituality and Otherness through contemporary music. Contemporary Music and Spirituality provides a detailed exploration of the recent and current state of contemporary spiritual music in its religious, musical, cultural and conceptual-philosophical aspects. At the heart of the book are issues that consider the role of secularization, the claims of modernity concerning the status of art, and subjective responses such as faith and experience. The contributors provide a new critical lens through which it is possible to see the music and thought of Cage, Ligeti, Messiaen, Stockhausen as spiritual music. The book surrounds these composers with studies of and by other composers directly associated with the idea of spiritual music (Harvey, Gubaidulina, MacMillan, Pärt, Pott, and Tavener), and others (Adams, Birtwistle, Ton de Leeuw, Ferneyhough, Ustvolskaya, and Vivier) who have created original engagements with the idea of spirituality. Contemporary Music and Spirituality is essential reading for humanities scholars and students working in the areas of musicology, music theory, theology, religious studies, philosophy of culture, and the history of twentieth-century culture.

God Says, 'satan Let My People Go.'
Author: Reca Risley
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1641400846
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 430
Book Description
This is an extraordinary and profoundly unique book of excerpts from over sixteen years of spiritual journaling where while reading you will experience the personal character of God. He wishes to reveal Himself (the Deity) in an intimate and real-life way to His beloved people. Have you ever heard the soft, beautiful voice of the Holy Spirit addressing you and then putting on your heart to write down what He said? If so, that's called spiritual journaling. Be warned that each entry is different, for God is our vast and unlimited Father in heaven. God speaks of many subjects that are on His heart, from trying to teach a follower to journal; to life lessons that need to be learned by all; to calling, preparing, and gathering the bride of Christ from around the world; to revealing the true and awesome closeness of the Lamb of God; and also to the daunting task of addressing all His people about the modern-day trickery that satan so easily uses to deceive the world. As you explore each entry, you will discover there is a newness and an urgency about God's words. Hear ye, hear ye, the time has come. The Lord is calling all Christians for such a time as this, for the Lamb of God is coming, and is coming soon!
