Conquering the Fear of Failure: Lessons from the Life of

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lutzer, Erwin W., PUBLISHER: Kregel Publications, The fear of failure afflicts us all. It erodes faith, deflates courage, and prevents victorious living. But fear doesn't have to haunt us anymore. In this newly repackaged edition of his popular book, best-selling author and beloved pastor Erwin W. Lutzer offers a healing alternative that releases Christians from attitudes of defeat. Using lessons from the life of Joshua, Lutzer teaches what Christians can do every day to see the promises of God fulfilled in their lives. From learning to listen to the right voice to living with a bad decision, from embracing the power of prayer to overcoming obstacles, this handbook will guide readers through the pitfalls of spiritual growth. "My prayer is that through studying Joshua we all will take one more giant step toward spiritual maturity," writes Lutzer. "In the process we shall discover that God is all-powerful and worthy of our trust." Written in the tone that made Lutzer a best-selling author of more than twenty books, "Conquering the Fear of Failure" shows readers how to focus on God and His promises, not upon circumstances or setbacks, so we may live a faith-filled, victorious life.

Surpassing Wonder: The Invention of the Bible and the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Akenson, Donald Harman, PUBLISHER: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), With wit, elegance, and clarity, Surpassing Wonder illuminates the ancient Hebrew scriptures, the Christian "New Testament", and the Talmuds of the Rabbis by showing who wrote them, under what circumstances, and why they were given the shape they have. These works constitute the very core of our cultural consciousness and in every century have been hidden from us -- first by priests, then by fundamentalists, and now by narrow scholars. Here, with biting irreverence for prejudice and pretension, Donald Akenson renews our sense of awe before these sacred works by encountering them head-on, by setting them in their historical and political context -- and by daring to speculate that there was one author-editor of the Hebrew scriptures, and one for the Christian New Testament, and that the inventor of the Hebrew scriptures should be credited with constructing the very foundations of Western culture. He simultaneously restores their spiritual power through a just appreciation of the authors' achievement and provides a brilliant expose of how theologians and biblical scholars abuse historical reasoning and evidence in their treatment of the sacred texts. Using images that range from Winnie-the-Pooh to tractor mechanics, this world-renowned historian creates for us a radical reformation of the sacred texts as he breathes new life into our religions and helps us understand, and revere, the heritage that flows from Jerusalem.

Journey: From Political Activism to the Work

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rose, Janet, PUBLISHER: Hohm Press, Having worked as a newspaper reporter, a manager of a food cooperative, a coordinator of a rural health service and a Vista volunteer, Janet Rose thought her next step was to build her practice as a psychotherapist in a large southeastern city. In the summer of , however, almost overnight, her life took a radical turn. Following inner mystical guidance, she turned west, to the mountains of Colorado, to find God more deeply. In her quest for genuine wisdom, compassion and service, she left behind the vestiges of her previous life to pursue a path of renunciation and to apprentice herself to a spiritual teacher. How she made that choice, what that commitment entailed and how it changed every aspect of her life is what this book is about. Despite the long-standing tradition of the monastic life in many religions, and the relationship of master and disciple, the media today paint a negative, one-sided view of any situation that smacks of "cult" or "guru". Rather than hiding from the controversy, Janet Rose encounters it head-on and presents a real-life view of work with a teacher and participation in a spiritual community. This clearly written and deeply personal book presents an alternative to the status quo of security, success and power.

Exemplarity and Mediocrity: The Art of the Average from

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Fleming, Paul, Jr., PUBLISHER: Stanford University Press, Following Hegel's analysis of art's increasing difficulty to both engage and extricate itself from prosaic reality, Paul Fleming investigates the strategies employed by German literature from to for increasingly attuning itself to quotidian life--common heroes, everyday life, non-extraordinary events--while also avoiding all notions of mediocrity. He focuses on three sites of this tension: the average audience (Lessing), the average artist (Goethe and Schiller), and the everyday, or average life (Grillparzer and Stifter). The book's title, "Exemplarity and Mediocrity," describes both a disjunctive and a conjunctive relation. Read disjunctively, modern art must display the "exemplary originality" (Kant) that only genius can provide and is thus fundamentally opposed to mediocrity as that which does not stand out or lacks distinctiveness; in the conjunctive sense, modern art turns to non-exceptional life in order to transform it--without forsaking its commonness--thereby producing exemplary forms of mediocrity that both represent the non-exceptional and, insofar as they stand outside the group they represent, are something other than mediocre.
