Sleep Hallucinations Or Miracles? - A Bit Of Bibliographical Diary Keeping By A Secular Monk.

by Larry Burington

6,61€ + 10% CARD

 The author, who attempted to become a Cistercian monk more than two decades ago, lacked the humility to do so, so in short he failed. But the Lord God Almighty made him into a contemplative and had other plans for him anyway. So now he is a lay member of the Roman Catholic faith, and observes the practices of a secular monk. Meaning he keeps several hours of the Divine Office daily, and doesn''t need permission to go get a new toothbrush; and is free to see the dentist of his choice. And I''m not entirely convinced the humility thing has improved that much; but when some thorn-in-the-side-spirit decides to haul off and smack him just as he is about to fall asleep; he has learned to keep his mouth shut (usually). Jesus suffered beatings and he was without sin, so I reckon his secular monks should be content to do the same if required. Anyway, the author discusses various diary/journal entries that he has made over the period of about 24 years and isn''t particularly concerned about the order (dates) of the entries; he is more concerned with the content; hence the book tends to be a bit bibliographical. And hopefully, his comments are presented in a manner that it may be of assistance to those who are seeking spiritual growth; developing a personal relationship with the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; to become holy, as God is holy.

Master Potter - N/A

by Nwabuogo N Okafo

3,96€ + 10% CARD

 "If the clay makes any contribution to its end use, it is that of submissiveness—submitting to the masterful hands of the potter. This alone is what is required of the clay. The clay does not determine what it is used for or how. It is completely up to the potter to employ his skill and decide the best use for any clay. In just this way, we can trust the hands of our Master Potter."The Master Potter emphasizes the need for every believer to spend quality time daily in the presence of the Lord through prayer and meditation. This is necessary to discipline us to hear Him. In a meditative mood like this, the Lord spoke to the prophet Jeremiah and directed him to go to the potter’s workshop where he received a life-transforming message about the potter and the clay.No matter what quality the clay may be, it must undergo some purifying processes before it can be used. No potter would like to work with a non-plastic clay which is not malleable. That can be a very frustrating venture. But plastic clay is alive and responsive. It can easily be manipulated by the potter to suit his creative purpose. The outcome is a masterpiece, a work of art which represents an intimate fusion of the artist’s spirit and the clay. Nwabuogo Okafo is a potter herself; and in her book, she shares what God has taught her about her craft as it relates to our relationship with Him. Learn the importance of malleability, slaking, and the composition of a slurry, as she applies those terms to the Christian life. This is an enlightening message, one that will benefit its hearers. God did not make any mistakes when He chose to make us of clay. Find out why!

What Comes After Nations? - Once Again, From Religions''S Renewal, A New Civilization Emerges.

by Harvey Garver

4,31€ + 10% CARD

 "WHAT COMES AFTER NATIONS?" is the right question for these turbulent times. Much of this turmoil is a result of the conflict between nations around the world. Nations and nationalism, are the most recent form of governance; however, while their numbers and sovereign powers increased over time, in today’s world, every nation’s sovereignty is under assault by powerful global forces. Humanity’s history is not just a collection of chance events; but instead, a long series of focused episodes that saw societies advance from wandering-hunter-gatherers back in the Stone Age, to farmers, to developers of cities, empires, and nations. Harvey Garver explores how humanity’s development has been motivated, guided and energized by the world’s orthodox religions, and explains how The Baha’i Faith, and its belief in "Progressive Revelation", reveals a new spiritual principle, leading to a burgeoning worldwide society with peace and prosperity for all humanity. Our ever advancing civilization is leading us beyond our current immature and turbulent world, eventually and inevitably, climaxing with the development of God’s Kingdom On Earth as the mature, ultimate, and highest level of society. Harvey Garver, living in Sarasota, Florida, a member of The Baha’i Faith, writes about the Baha’i World View and its intriguing history of humanity, linking the development of civilizations to the Creative Word of God that has been progressively revealed by orthodox religions including: Hinduism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, and now: The Baha’i Faith

Unrest - A Coming-Of-Age Story Beneath The Alborz Mountains

by Sandra Ann Ann Heath; Illustration: Seth A. Rivard

3,96€ + 10% CARD

 UNREST tells the story of seventeen-year-old Annie Patterson, plucked from her comfortable existence in the American Midwest, to travel with her mom and siblings to join her lieutenant colonel father in Tehran, Iran. It's the late 1970s, and unbeknownst to the Patterson family, Iran is on the verge of phenomenal and unprecedented change. Initially, culture shock envelopes Annie as much as the black robes that cloak the people milling in the airport, or the pollution that hovers below the snowcapped peaks of the Alborz Mountains. Cultural differences are soon embraced as the two Patterson sisters meet two Iranian teenage boys at the side of a dusty soccer field. Experiences begin to deepen: a whirlwind tour of the ancient Grand Bazaar, a picnic on an aged Persian carpet, and a Persian wedding and dancing beneath a looming moon amid the sweet fragrance of jasmine. But as the saying goes: "all is [not] fair in love and war", and the two sisters find themselves attracted to the same man. Soon, though, unrequited love becomes the least of Annie's worries as the rumblings of dissent and unrest become too loud to ignore: movie theater fires, restaurant bombings, the imposition of martial law, foolish dalliances after curfew, even dangerous encounters with roving gangs of dissenters and bloodied demonstrators. As uncertainty overtakes daily life and the overthrow of the Shah becomes imminent, activities such as work and school must go on with sheer determination and courage. Trapped by tumultuous demonstrations in the streets, Annie spends a passion-filled night with her Persian protector, to the extent that an innocent teenage girl and an adult boy bound by religious sensibilities can. Ultimately, the country unravels, the Shah's regime ends, and the Patterson family and their Iranian friends must figure out what to do next (Inshallah, God Willing), before "persecute; purge; pious" becomes the motto of the day, and Annie and her family are forced to live life as if there were no tomorrow, in the midst of heart-numbing UNREST.
