Book Description
The Psalms are often viewed as ancient poems with little relevance in today's society. They can be difficult to read, obscure in their imagery, and even cruel and violent in their messages. In this book, the author takes one or more verses from each of the Psalms and relates their sentiments to experiences in our everyday lives. The Psalms are not about some ancient poet in a remote desert nation. The author believes they are about us. This book aims to give readers the chance to confront those evils within their own life and to reflect upon the sacredness of their everyday existence. Capozzi shows the mesage of the Psalms for our ordinary experiences and argues that God is not "out there" somewhere, but right here in everyday life. This work is aimed at people willing to explore these conflicts in their own hearts. Each reflection is confined to a single page and ends with a question - allowing the reader to reflect upon his or her own similar experiences. The reflection may be used as a daily meditation.

Book Description
"Fascinating, elegant . . . [Easterbrook] invests the timeless question of life's meaning with distinctly contemporary pertinence."--George Will, Newsweek Yes, says Gregg Easterbrook in this provocative and probing new book. In the tradition of Jack Miles's God A Biography and the work of Karen Armstrong, Beside Still Waters ponders the question "Is there anything left to believe in?" Gregg Easterbrook persuasively argues that rationality and outright doubt are inevitable and indeed vital elements of spiritual faith. Other new and important ideas about spiritual thought include the challenging observation that the Bible never actually proclaims God omnipotent -- a concept, Easterbrook suggests, that arose through the sociology and politics of religion, nor Scripture. Bucking the current trend to undermine the Bible's historical value, he affirms that it is neither simple myth nor mere literature, but rather it records many genuine events that can be seen to chart a spiritual journey not only of man but also of God. A thought-provoking book for anyone who believes that true faith can and should accommodate sincere doubt, Beside Still Waters addresses some of the central spiritual issues of a profoundly skeptical age.

Book Description
Why has it taken me so long to let go of my search for complete loving and fulfillment from others? It is because it has taken me this long in my search to find the self-acceptance of my own failure at being completely loving. That grace comes only by looking for it from my Maker-Redeemer alone.Dee Penick has had a difficult life. The victim of sexual molestation, she struggled to find her worth and overcame self-loathing through the grace of God. Now, through this touching memoir, she shares her struggles and lessons learned through Scripture and intimate conversations—as if you were a close friend sitting at her kitchen table. Through sampling a few of the fruits of the spirit—love, joy, and peace—you can realize you are a person of meaning, value, and purpose. Take your life from the turbulence of insecurity to the refreshing calm of Quiet Waters. 'Quiet Waters is filled with wonderful testimonies of how God led a victim of sexual molestation into spiritual healing and wholeness.' -Patsy Oda, author of Heart's Desire
