Sam Gardner's second year as minister in quaint and charming Harmony, Indiana, is fraught with trials and incidents, a crisis of faith, a marital catastrophe, and a church elder's ill-hatched scheme to scramble scripture with eggs. But a loving heart and a strong sense of humor is almost certain to see Sam through . . . even if all of Harmony is expecting a miracle come Easter morn.

Home to all manner of quirky characters and the occasional everyday miracle, to know tiny Harmony, Indiana, is to love it -- as minister Sam Gardner does and always has. Even crackpot, high-flying salvation schemes cannot lessen Harmony's appeal -- a place as near to heaven as seekers of the simple life are likely to find.

Good copy, displays highlighting and pencil markings on some pages. Adhesive labels on cover.

New item; top of front cover has a 2" slice near hinge. Text block is As New | Many Christians are looking for ways to deepen their relationship with God by practicing their faith in everyday life.

Designed to work across a wide range of Christian laypeople, leaders, denominations, and study groups, this is the second edition of the book that Theology called "... a stimulating contribution to the work of making explicit the connection between what Christians do and what they believe."—Publisher

Mehr und mehr wird heute de Notwendigkeit erkannt, daß es Zeit wäre für ein neues Verhältnis und Gespräch zwischen den Religionen. Gespräch aber setzt Information voraus. Ist es da nicht ein besonderer Glücksfall, daß die Bibel der Christen die Bibel der Juden mitenthält? Ist dieser Glücksfall nicht eine einzigartige Herausforderung zum Dialog zunächst einmal zwischen diesen zwei "biblischen" Religionen? Wie soll der Dialog mit weiteren religionen beginnen können, wenn er auf dem Boden des EINEN Buches, das die Grunddokumente ZWEIER Religionen enhält, nicht stattfindet? Im Verlauf der "Annährungen"—in diesem Band and die Psalmen 73 bis 106—sind mir diese Überlegungen immer wichtiger und auch hilfreicher geworden—Kurt Marti im Vorwort (from back cover)

Good condition. Text may exhibit pencil or pen markings and highlighting. | In Liberating Rites, Tom Driver illuminates the role of ritual by removing it from its liturgical wrappings and presenting it as something raw, basic, and central to all living beings. He then examines the varied ways humans use ritual to give order to their lives, to provide a sense of security and control, especially in the face of extreme power. From there, Driver looks closely at how ritual creativity and performance are central to enacting religious beliefs and how rituals serve to transform individuals into members of communities. The result is an accessible and engaging discussion of ritual, ideal for undergraduate courses ranging from introduction to religioj to pschology of religion and sociology of religion.—Book jacket

"Die Psalmen reden, singen vom Dasein in all seinen sozialen und individuellen Aspekten. Daß se es "coram Deo", in der Gegenwart Gottes tun, ist selbstverständlich, denn zu ihrer Zeit war alles Leben "religiös", d.h. au Gott oder Götter bezogen. Insofern ragt die biblische Theopoesie als ganzheitlicher Fremdkörper in unser zersplittertes Buwußtsein hinein. das macht die Psalmen einerseits unzeitgemäß, andererseits durchbricht just diese Unzeitgemäßheit die Kategorien unseres Zeitgeistes.
Mit diesem vierten Band finden meine "Annäherungen" an die Psalmen ihren Abschluss. Falls einige Leserinnen und Leser von der Annäherung zur inneren Aneignung des einen oder anderen Psalmes weitergehen, wäre dies der schönste Lohn meiner Arbeit—Kurt Martin im Vorwort" (from back cover)

The Sky Is Crying is motivated by the recent overwhelming natural disaster in the southern Gulf coast and southeast Asia, which was exacerbated by incompetence, blatant disregard, and the reactions of austere theodicy and spurious theology when attempting to explain the unexplainable. Scholars, clergy, and activists respond to the underlying sociocultural, historical, religious, and ethical issues that underlie and address these natural (exacerbated by man-made) events, and unpack the larger "elephants in the room": the intersection of poverty and race, and the related systemic injustices in America, in the world, and throughout history.—Publisher

Is there an alternative to a fragmented, frantic, meaningless life? Jack Fortin finds it in a life centered in God. Spiritual exercises, questions for reflection, and discussion in every chapter make this a timely and valuable resource for individuals and congregational study groups.—Publisher

This spiritual memoir draws on Hannons wealth of experience, his family life, childhood and professional life as a high school teacher to show how God is present in every aspect of our lives, how the seemingly mundane events in our lives can reveal the presence of God. For example, the simple act of sitting on a bench at dawn in the middle of San Francisco becomes a spiritual wakening and a morning prayer of praise for an entire city. This collection of poignant, heartbreaking and hilarious short stories is organized around the Liturgy of the Hours.—Publisher

The fourteenth-century anchoress known as Julian of Norwich offered fervent prayers for a deeper understanding of Christ's passion. The holy woman's petitions were answered with a series of divine revelations that she called "showings." Her mystic visions revealed Christ's sufferings with extreme intensity, but they also confirmed God's constant love for humanity and his infinite capacity for forgiveness.
Julian of Norwich's Revelations have had a lasting influence on Christian thought. Written in immediate, compelling terms, her experiences remain among the most original and accessible expressions of medieval mysticism. This edition contains both the short text — which is mainly an account of the "showings" themselves and Julian's initial analysis of their meaning — as well as the long text, completed some 20 years later and offering daringly speculative interpretations.
