Lewis C: What Christians Believe / LF

What Christians Believe

From award-winning authors and Yale Divinity School colleagues Christian Wiman and Miroslav Volf—two world-renowned scholars exchange letters on the problems of faith today and the presence of divine love that persists through it all.&nbsp;Whether you’re seeking something to believe in or no longer feel at home in your traditions, the spiritual search can be deeply lonely.In Glimmerings, leading Christian theologian Miroslav Volf and celebrated poet Christian Wiman engage the tensions of belief felt by many. In an exchange of personal letters, Volf and Wiman give voice to and validate the most pressing spiritual questions of our time. Close friends and Yale colleagues, they reveal through their letters visions of faith that are sometimes sharply divergent, yet always honest and punctuated by warmth, humor, and apology. The result is a vivid, consoling collection in which questions are dignified and the spiritual search in all its complexities is honored. Whether they’re discussing Scripture’s most problematic texts, Christianity’s most preposterous claims, or their own experiences of God’s presence and absence, Volf and Wiman are united in their shared refusal to oversimplify the realities of human pain. Instead, we are invited to share an honest hope: While certainty can never be ours, perhaps God shows up in “glimmerings.” As we accompany each other in our tensions, we can find strength in solidarity, beauty in mystery, and love that persists even as our faith perplexes.

"Tim Scott tells the stories of faith-motivated citizens who shaped every aspect of American society"--Provided by publisher.

New York Times bestselling author and Senator Tim Scott explains that in every state, in every decade, America has been built on faith.From our Founding Fathers to today’s heroes of faith, Christianity has been the bedrock of our nation's greatness. In One Nation Always Under God, South Carolina Senator Tim Scott shows how Christian values forged our legal system, educational institutions, healthcare, social services, and more.One Nation Always Under God is filled with inspiring stories of American Christians whose heroic advocacy has moved the nation forward, including<ul><li>Abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, who faced an angry mob trying to destroy his newspaper</li><li>Apollo 13 astronaut Jim Lovell, whose faith sustained him 200,000 miles from Earth</li><li>Dorothea Dix, who revolutionized how America dealt with mental health</li><li>Eddie Rickenbacker, an aging WWI ace who stepped up to command soldiers stranded in the Pacific in 1942</li><li>Norman Borlaug, a scientist whose discoveries saved a billion people from starvation</li></ul>...and more. These stories exemplify both the American spirit of adventure and the Christian love of serving others.Far from being confined to the Constitutional Convention or church pews, faith has been the driving force behind America's innovation, prosperity, and moral leadership, Scott asserts. While the forces of secularism and moral relativism try to ban God from the public square, they cannot truly remove Him from our national DNA.Senator Scott reminds us that we stand on the shoulders of giants—courageous Christians who faced seemingly insurmountable odds yet persevered through faith. Their stories will stir the heart and awaken the hero within you. One Nation Always Under God is more than a history lesson. It's a rallying cry for all who believe that America's promise is rooted in timeless biblical principles.&nbsp;

One Nation Always Under God

“The most comprehensive, even-handed and best written account of Ruby Ridge currently in print.” —&nbsp;Washington TimesFrom #1 New York Times bestselling author of Beautiful Ruins, Jess Walter, here is the story of what happened on Ruby Ridge: the tragic and unlikely series of events that destroyed a family, brought down the number-two man in the FBI, and left in its wake a nation increasingly attuned to the dangers of unchecked federal power.On the last hot day of summer in 1992, gunfire cracked over a rocky knob in northern Idaho, just south of the Canadian border. By the next day three people were dead, and a small war was joined, pitting the full might of federal law enforcement against one well-armed family. Drawing on extensive interviews with Randy Weaver's family, government insiders, and others, Walter traces the paths that led the Weavers to their confrontation with federal agents and led the government to treat a family like a gang of criminals.

“A fierce, scholarly tour-de-force. . . .&nbsp;Hunting the Falcon&nbsp;brilliantly shows how time, circumstance and politics combined to accelerate Anne’s triumph and tragedy."&nbsp;—Tina Brown, New York Times Book Review“A sumptuous drama of lust, intrigue, and betrayal, underpinned by the harsh reality of politics.”—Amanda Foreman, author of Georgiana: Duchess of DevonshireA groundbreaking, freshly-researched examination of one of the most dramatic and consequential marriages in history: Henry VIII’s long courtship, short union, and brutal execution of Anne Boleyn.Hunting the Falcon&nbsp;is the story of how Henry VIII’s obsessive desire for Anne Boleyn changed him and his country forever. John Guy and Julia Fox, two of the most acclaimed and distinguished historians of this period, have joined forces to present Anne and Henry in startlingly new ways. By closely examining the most recent archival discoveries, and peeling back layers of historical myth and misinterpretation and distortion, Guy and Fox are able to set Anne and Henry’s tragic relationship against the major international events of the time, and integrate and reinterpret sources hidden in plain sight or simply misunderstood. Among other things, they dispel lingering and latently misogynistic assumptions about Anne which anachronistically presumed that a sixteenth-century woman, even a queen, could exert little to no influence on the politics and beliefs of a patriarchal society. They reveal how, in fact, Anne was a shrewd, if ruthless, politician in her own right, a woman who steered Henry and his policies, often against the advice he received from his male advisers—and whom Henry seriously contemplated making joint sovereign.&nbsp;Hunting the Falcon&nbsp;sets the facts–and some completely new finds–into a far wider frame,&nbsp;providing an appreciation of this misunderstood and underestimated woman. It explores how Anne organized her “side” of the royal court on novel and (in male eyes) subversive lines compared to her queenly predecessors, adopting instead French protocol by which the sexes mingled freely in her private chambers. Men could share in the women’s often sexually charged courtly “pastimes” and had liberal access to Anne, and she to them—encounters from which she gained much of her political intelligence and extended her authority, and which also sowed the seeds of her own downfall.&nbsp;An exhilarating feat of historical research and analysis,&nbsp;Hunting the Falcon&nbsp;is also a thrilling and tragic story of a marriage that has proved of enduring fascination over the centuries. But in the hands of John Guy and Julia Fox, even the most knowledgeable reader will encounter this story as if for the first time.

"In this inspiring book of divine discovery, poet and seeker Arundhathi Subramaniam gives us a glimpse into the lives of four self-contained, unapologetic female spiritual travelers"--

In this inspiring book of divine discovery, poet and seeker Arundhathi Subramaniam gives us a glimpse into the lives of four self-contained, unapologetic female spiritual travelers.“Among the finest pieces of spiritual truth-telling literature I have ever read … A book to savor and celebrate.”—Mirabai Starr, author of Wild Mercy and Ordinary Mysticism“As the pages turn, one feels a growing sense of shared humanity, even kinship, with these extraordinary practitioners of the sacred.”—Tim Parks, author of&nbsp;Teach Us to Sit Still: A Skeptic’s Search for Health and HealingIn life, spiritual paths are often as unique as we are. Bringing together the voices of four women mystics walking very different spiritual paths, poet Arundhathi Subramaniam reveals the expansive potential of forging an intimate, personal connection with the divine. We'll meet these four travelers:<ul><li>Sri Annapurani Amma, who left the safety of home to follow the summons of a long-dead saint and chooses to live naked,</li><li>Balarishi Vishwashirasini, a nada yoga teacher who became a guru as a child and admits she's missed out on a real childhood,</li><li>Lata Mani, who discovered tantra after a major accident left her with a brain injury and today talks of how the spiritual life is deeply anchored in the wisdom of the body—not unlike the redwood trees of her adopted home, and</li><li>Maa Karpoori, who needed to resist pressure to marry, and found her calling in a local yoga class and now radiates fierce independence and the contagious joy of living.</li></ul>Sensitive, insightful, and lyrical, Women Who Wear Only Themselves bathes us in the kind of mystery that feels deeply familiar and invites us to connect with whatever sparks our spiritual fire.
