Booklocker.com God's Existence Makes Absolutely No Sense: That
Book SynopsisThis work is a compilation of my events in a faith journey that began as I engaged in a so-so Catholic Church practice to a gradual embracing and immersing into daily Mass, and a total renunciation of sin. I take the reader from my early youth when nuns taught us the catechism and all the common Catholic prayers to an up-and-down relationship with God during my college years and beyond. However, I also point out that it was not until after a few years of married life that I began attending Mass daily. The catalyst was my wife''s devout faith. Once I enhanced my daily spiritual actions, from attending Mass to reciting the rosary and many other prayers, I found my spiritual niche with no small credit to the Holy Spirit. I make no claim whatever to perfection, and I am no saint, but immersing myself in God''s will has made me an infinitely stronger believer and person.I do not preach or ask the reader to make a stronger faith commitment, just to accept God and believe that eternal rewards lie at the end of our journey here on Earth. Further, I employ humor and even a few jokes throughout the book. After all, God has a sense of humor. My late wife told me that, saying, God loves humor. He created you, didn''t He? Yes, and I thank him every day upon awakening for the incredible gifts of life and faith. They are irreplaceable and I am grateful to not only have them, but also to fully embrace him with immense joy and gratitude.

Simon & Schuster The Girl Who Saw Heaven: A Fateful Tornado and a
Book SynopsisA remarkable true story of one child’s journey into the afterlife after surviving a super tornado.When Ari Hallmark was in kindergarten, her family was caught in a powerful tornado in their hometown of Arab, Alabama. On April 27, 2011, Ari and her parents, Shane and Jennifer Hallmark, were putting the finishing touches on their new home, which Shane had built from scratch. Shane’s last-second decision to drive to his parent’s house put the Hallmarks directly in the path of a devastating EF4 tornado. Moments after the Hallmarks arrived at the home, the mile-wide tornado ripped the house off its foundation and flung it in the air. When Ari regained consciousness, she began sharing the extraordinary story of what happened to her during the tornado: she met her guardian angel and followed her family to heaven. The full story of what Ari went through—the six months of reoccurring dreams that foretold the tragedy, and the unexpected challenges she faced from the legal system after the storm—delivers a powerful message to the world: you will see your late loved ones again. Ari Hallmark is now a high school senior determined to share her hopeful message with the world.

Read it and be transformed. Required reading for anyone who’s going to die!” —WILLIAM J. PETERS, author of At Heaven’s Door and founder of the Shared Crossing Project “The Girl Who Saw Heaven is unique, inspiring, and healing. It’s a story for your heart and your soul that you’ll remember for the rest of your life. Ari has a spiritual assignment to share it with as many grieving adults and children as possible. Her story fills people with comfort, hope, and tears of joy! I’m one of only a few people who heard Ari’s account originally, and I’m delighted you’ll finally know it too. Please read it yourself and share it with others—they’ll thank you deeply for doing so.” —BILL GUGGENHEIM, coauthor of Hello from Heaven! “A relatable yet eye-opening account for anyone coping with grief. Lisa Reburn’s carefully researched and beautifully written book thrusts the reader into a complicated yet compelling story. The Girl Who Saw Heaven highlights the power of relying on your faith and the Lord without feeling preachy or stiff and leaves you with hope and peace.” —CHRISTINE KILLIMAYER, WHNT news anchor and executive producer of the Emmy-nominated documentary 10 Years After the Storm

Simon & Schuster Go Home for Dinner: Advice on How Faith Makes a
Book SynopsisIn this personal account, former Vice President Mike Pence champions one of his most deeply held beliefs: faith makes a family, and family makes a life.When Mike Pence was a young politician, reporters used to ask him: ?where do you see yourself in five, ten years??Without fail, the former Vice President would reply, ?home for dinner.?This answer was an honest assessment of his priorities. Throughout his career, Pence has been adamant about putting his family first. As he often told his staff, he?d rather lose an election than lose his family. Go Home for Dinner is an in-depth, practical guide to balancing the demands of life with the long-term satisfaction that only a commitment to your family can bring. In this personal account, former Vice President Mike Pence champions one of his most deeply held beliefs: that faith makes a family, and family makes a life. And, through straightforward advice and personal storytelling, he shows readers how to do the same. In short chapters, Pence walks us through the principles that he and his wife, Karen, developed to raise their family. He gives credit to his parents for setting the precedent of gathering around the dinner table and for being attentive listeners. He discusses how he and Karen prioritized their relationship, even when they struggled professionally through two failed congressional races and personally with infertility. He reveals how he learned to trust God, make difficult choices, and take leaps of faith, all with an eye to what his family needed. He also brings in examples of other friends and colleagues, to demonstrate how these principles look in the lives of other families. The Pence family is far from perfect, but the values portrayed in this book have helped them remain together?and thrive?through their extraordinary journey in public service. Go Home for Dinner is filled with practical, timeless advice about how readers can pursue their dreams while keeping their family close. This is a book for anyone who wants to achieve their goals and put their family and faith at the center of their life?but who needs a nudge to get home in time for dinner.

De Gruyter The Power of Religion / Religion and Power: Third Annual Conference 2020
Book SynopsisHow does the powerful effect that religion has on public and personal life relate to the various spheres of our culture? Is the relationship between power and religion always negative or can religion also affect individuals and societies positively? This volume of the EuARe Lectures, edited by Herman Selderhuis, collects the texts of the lectures delivered at the Third Annual Conference of the European Academy of Religion (2020) on the topic “The Power of Religion / Religion and Power”. Scott Appleby explores the connection, in the religious imagination, among glorifying the divine, sanctifying the mundane and exercising political and cultural power. Cyril Hovorun addresses the issue of the politicization of religion, focusing in particular on Eastern Christian cases. Susanne Schröter offers an insight into the current debate on Islam in Germany. Finally, Kristina Stoeckl analyses the complex relationship among Europe’s new religious conflicts, Russian orthodoxy, American Christian conservatives and the emergence of a European populist right-wing.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Anfechtung: Versuch der Entmarginalisierung eines
Book SynopsisAnfechtung - ein marginalisierter Klassiker oder eine klassische Marginalie? Das ist weithin ungeklärt. Und doch hängt von dieser Alternative theologisch einiges ab. Denn Anfechtung bezeichnet eine Haltung im Glauben zum Glauben, für die der Glaube problematisch geworden ist. Entsprechend ist dieser metaphorische Ausdruck wesentlich an den Begriff des Glaubens gekoppelt, wobei der Glaube nicht nur im Blick auf seine Inhalte, sondern auch auf seinen Vollzug zum Thema wird. Machen also Menschen derartige Erfahrungen heute nicht mehr, wodurch die 'Anfechtung' zum bloßen Relikt wird? Oder hat die zeitgenössische Theologie aus anderen Gründen keine Verwendung mehr für jenen Term, der einigen als unverzichtbar galt? Was verlieren wir, wenn wir es bei diesem Verzicht belassen? Und sollten wir uns um jenen Klassiker erneut bemühen, was könnten wir dann besser verstehen und genauer beschreiben?

Bohlau Verlag Astrologers and Their Clients in Medieval and
Book SynopsisDie Beiträge des Bandes nehmen mit der konkreten Ausgestaltung astrologischer Beratungspraxis einen bislang vernachlässigten Aspekt mittelalterlicher und frühneuzeitlicher Astrologiegeschichte in den Blick. Welche sozialen und akademischen Hintergründe hatten die Astrologen? Nach welchen Techniken und Methoden arbeiteten sie und wie war ihr Selbstverständnis? Welche Erwartungshaltung lässt sich auf der anderen Seite bei den Auftraggebern erkennen und wie gingen jene mit astrologischer Beratung um? Adressaten astrologischer Werke lassen sich in unterschiedlichsten Teilen der Bevölkerung ausmachen. Aus den Bezügen zwischen Astrologen, astrologischer Praxis und den Rezipienten ergeben sich daher implizit Aufschlüsse über die gesellschaftliche Bedeutung von Astrologie. Sämtliche Beiträge sind in englischer Sprache.

Bohlau Verlag Mit ihnen Mensch, fur sie Christ:
Book SynopsisAfter 1945, Catholicism in central Germany was shaped by flight and expulsion like nowhere else on the continent. Different cultural and religious influences met and challenged each other in a region that had experienced a predominantly Protestant influence in previous centuries. In addition, the atheistic socialism of the GDR made it difficult for Catholics to stand up for their faith in the country''s society without suffering disadvantages. This resulted in an area of conflict, the challenges of which are explained and analyzed in the present study. However, the book does not only want to provide a retrospective, but also to encourage the diaspora communities in the Diocese of Dresden-Meissen to continue on the path of the mission to the people and to be human with them and Christian for them.

Er zeigt auf, welche Beiträge Muslime in den Naturwissenschaften, der Kunst und der Architektur geleistet haben.

Peter Lang AG Self-Transcendence and Prosociality
Book SynopsisThis book is a study in philosophy of religion, which proposes a new inversion model of self-transcendence. At the same time, the study examines the relation between self-transcendence and prosociality in order to broaden our understanding of self-transcendence also as a moral concept relevant to human behavior and its ethical reflection. The inversion model of self-transcendence is based both on the intentionality analysis of consciousness and phenomenological analysis of self-transcendence conducted on examples of great figures of spirituality from the East and the West – an anonymous medieval Christian author of «The Cloud of Unknowing», an Indian sage Ramana Maharshi, and a contemporary spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle.Table of ContentsSelf-transcendence – Proposal of a new «inversion model of self-transcendence» –Arguments and illustrated on examples of great figures of spirituality from the East and the West

For example: How does death take place? What does the soul experience, once it leaves its body? What does karma and reincarnation mean What help can be given to a person who is dying? Is death already programmed with birth? What is the purpose of our life on the Earth?An excerpt from the book:Most people fear this transition, that is, they are afraid of dying. What can one do about this?The process of dying is similar to that of birth. To be born into a material life is a very natural event. The soul changes spheres. To die is to be born into the spiritual worlds. While on earth as a human being, the very best preparation for our transition into the fine-material form of exi
