William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company Braving Difficult Decisions
Book SynopsisIf you are feeling unsettled, unfulfilled, or undone, welcome. If you are at a crossroads or in crisis and need guidance, this book is for you. If you have a big transition to make or a tough question to answer, and you are wondering how you are going to figure this out, help is at hand. Braving Difficult Decisions is a pathbreaking synthesis of spiritual insight and practical wisdom that cuts through the thicket of uncertainty toward a future you can fully embrace. Drawing from her own experience with difficult decisions and in conversation with spiritual leaders, historical figures, and everyday folks, Rev. Dr. Angela Gorrell maps out a process for working through the most challenging aspects of complex choices, listening to God and others, naming emerging possibilities, and choosing a wise way forward that you can return to time and time again as you face new challenges. Angela will help you engage your questions with less anxiety and more interest, wonder, and creativity. As you move, you will learn how to trust God, yourself, and the process. Angela explains, ?My goal is not that you reach the same decisions as me or the other people featured in this book, but that you learn how to take your own journey into and through difficult decisions.? You are being led, not just by the wisdom of the stories others have lived, but by the God who made the sun and the moon and the stars. You are not forgotten. You are not alone. And you are braver than you think.

Cambridge University Press Jehovahs Witnesses
Book SynopsisJehovah''s Witnesses began as an informal Bible study group in the 1870s that sought to recover first-century Christian beliefs and practices. They disseminated literature announcing the expected reign of God''s Kingdom and called themselves Bible Students. In 1931, they adopted the name Jehovah''s Witnesses, epitomizing their belief in the Christian obligation to preach the gospel worldwide. Known for their ethic of nonviolence and their evangelizing work, and despite worshipping freely in most countries, Witnesses are subject to controversy, particularly vis-à-vis mainstream Christianity, the State, and secularized societies. The authors are practicing Jehovah''s Witnesses who present this work as neither apologia nor official account, but as an emic description of the history, beliefs, identity, and organizational structure of Witnesses, and their societal interactions. While briefly covering main controversies, this Element focuses on the culture and lived experience of the millions comprising the Witness community. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Cambridge University Press English Convents in Catholic Europe c.16001800
Book SynopsisHighlighting the significance of the English convents in exile as part of, and contributors to, national and European Catholic culture, James E. Kelly situates the English Catholic experience within the wider context of the Catholic Reformation and Catholic Europe, and thus transforms our understanding of the convents.Trade Review'Many contemporaries regarded enclosed convents as major spiritual, intellectual and even ideological statements about the nature of true religion. In the context of the changes of religion in England from the mid-sixteenth century onwards, the setting up of English convents in exile was a serious public intervention in the post-Reformation Church. This book draws on an impressive array of archival sources about these convents, and comprehensively and authoritatively reinstates them in the modern-day historiography of the British and European Reformation and Counter-Reformation.' Michael Questier, Research Chair, University of Vanderbilt, Nashville'This important contribution to the study of the Early Modern English Catholic diaspora, shows how the English convents established on the continent were not inward-looking institutions, but were fully engaged with the latest Counter-Reformation ideas and practices. The book gives a wide-ranging account of the convents in their first two centuries by focusing on how the nuns created a collective identity in exile.' Christopher Highley, Ohio State University'Here is a work that reads the English convents as they understood themselves. That is as all-female communities at the heart of European Catholic reformation, as nuns on mission for England and for the world. Their rich world of cloisters, kin, song, prayer, money, and networking is beautifully reconstructed and interrogated in this essential and original volume.' John McCafferty, University College Dublin'This broad-ranging study testifies to its author's in-depth knowledge of conventual archives … Its treatment of complex issues allies nuance and clarity, and those qualities contribute to making this monograph a great read.' Laurence Lux-Sterritt, British Catholic History'Kelly is to be congratulated for restoring the religious dimension to the discussion.' Thomas M. McCoog, Journal of Jesuit Studies'… Kelly's book is an outstanding and well-researched analysis which has finally shed light on a world which has not been properly understood and examined. One of the many merits of this book is to have described the rich array of details on the entrant nuns, their family background, the organization of the journey to mainland Europe, and their life inside the convent.' Matteo Binasco, Studi irlandesi'Kelly has convincingly demonstrated the need to situate English Catholic convents firmly within their wider European context and recognise them as particularly vigorous expressions of Tridentine Catholicism. His book will therefore be of great interest not only to scholars of early modern English Catholicism, but also to historians of the European Counter-Reformation more broadly …' Frederick E. Smith, English Historical Review'English Convents in Catholic Europe is a landmark monograph in several ways. Impeccably written and deeply researched, this magisterial work will set the standard for a dynamic field that is still largely in its infancy.' Jaime Goodrich, Early Modern Women'… Kelly offers a meaningful contribution to the study of the early modern English convents and their relationship to the Catholic Reformation-one that will guide and sustain future research into these communities and the nuns who entered them.' Jenna Lay, Church History'… it is essential that academia be reminded periodically that social activism or national sentiment does not explain why they abandoned so much for the cloister. Convents were more than a haven for more confessionally mobile English Catholics. Kelly is to be congratulated for restoring the religious dimension to the discussion.' Thomas M. McCoog, Journal of Jesuit Studies'[Kelly] is an engaging writer and uses a wide array of sources, including letters, obituary books, accounts, and spiritual treatises, to powerfully evoke the quotidian experiences of these women.' Colleen M. Seguin, American Historical Review'… This is an excellent survey based on close reading of the recent literature, which opens up new questions about the lives of these resilient and redoubtable women who contributed significantly to post-Reformation English and European Catholicism.' William Sheils, Journal of Ecclesiastical History'… an impressive study … The book provides a fascinating window into the collective experience of nearly four thousand English nuns in the period of the Catholic Reformation … [it] provides an important answer to anyone wondering what happened to the long tradition of English monasticism, and especially of convents, after the Dissolution.' Genelle Gertz, Renaissance QuarterlyTable of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Recruitment: familial and clerical patronage; 2. Embracing enclosure; 3. Material religious culture; 4. Financing the conventual movement; 5. Liturgical life: relics and martyrdom; 6. Networked: the convents and the world of Catholic exile; Conclusion.

Hodder & Stoughton The Good and Beautiful You
Book SynopsisThe Christian faith is about much more than belief and practices - it''s also about the kind of people that we become. Yet some of the biggest barriers to our transformation come from our own toxic narratives about ourselves, narratives that shape the way we see ourselves and the way we interact with the world. We are made with a deep longing in our souls to be wanted, loved, alive and connected to God. Healing our souls requires more than knowing what God thinks about us. Our healing comes not through reason alone, but through revelation. ''The best practice I have seen in Christian spiritual formation'' was Dallas Willard''s endorsement of the Good and Beautiful series a decade ago. Now this fourth book in the series, The Good and Beautiful You, addresses the self-narratives that hinder spiritual growth and the desires of the soul that only God can satisfy. James Bryan Smith reminds us how Scripture reveals the beauty and goodness of our owTrade ReviewThis is truly the most unique and best practice in spiritual formation out there! This along with the other future titles in this Apprentice Series will form a formidable 'curriculum of Christ-likeness.' Loving, transformative and deep! * Christian Marketplace *More than most realize, the bottom level of discussions about many of the currents in our life is, Who are we? That is, anthropology. Jim Smith fulfills one of Dallas Willard's major hopes for the spiritual formation movement in this book?a Christian and biblical framing of who we are as persons, as souls. The danger of all such studies is self-idolatry, and that is why I so heartily recommend this book. Here we are called to understand ourselves as God created us and understands us and envelops us in Christ, that is, in his love and grace and transforming power. -- Scot McKnight, professor of New Testament at Northern SeminarySix words come to mind whenever I think about my friend Jim: holy authenticity and intimacy with God. James Bryan Smith knows what it means to walk with God without pretense and with holy expectancy. He knows Jesus as his Redeemer, Healer, Defender, and Deliverer. Jim knows God; he knows his love. That's why he's just the person to write The Good and Beautiful You. Though we were born into sin, as Christ-followers we've been redeemed, through and through, by his grace. If you still struggle with a sense of identity and purpose, settle in and take your time working through these pages. I believe you'll encounter God, you'll hear his voice, and you'll learn afresh how much he loves you. Even today I pray that you hear the love song he sings over you, for it is life-giving and beautiful, just as Christ is in you. -- Susie Larson, author of PrevailWriting in the venerable tradition of Dallas Willard and Richard Foster, James Bryan Smith has given us a valuable guide to caring for our souls in The Good and Beautiful You. Convinced that Christ is the way to the wellness of the soul, Smith points us to paths where we can find healing for our damaged souls. This book will help many people! * Brian Zahnd, author of When Everything's on Fire *More than most realize, the bottom level of discussions about many of the currents in our life is, Who are we? That is, anthropology. Jim Smith fulfills one of Dallas Willard's major hopes for the spiritual formation movement in this book - a Christian and biblical framing of who we are as persons, as souls.

Here we are called to understand ourselves as God created us and understands us and envelops us in Christ, that is, in his love and grace and transforming power. * Scot McKnight, professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary *The Good and Beautiful You is a heart-piercing and mind-nurturing journey into redeemed personhood. It is learned and light-spirited and challenging. Jim's ability to expose false beliefs, unpack soul-shaping truth, and craft experiences that bring truth and transformation is extraordinary. Divinely inspired wisdom for those he calls 'divinely formed mysteries.' * John Ortberg, author of Soul Keeping and Eternity Is Now in Session *

Hodder & Stoughton Blessed in the Mess
Book SynopsisLife is often messy. We hear people say, ''My life is a mess'', or, ''This situation is a mess''. What they mean is that life has become difficult and confusing. God never promises us a trouble-free life. In fact, His Word tells us to expect the opposite. Jesus says, ''In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world'' (John 16:33 NKJV).Thankfully, trouble is not continuous in our lives. We also go through seasons that are peaceful and pleasant. But life does not always go as we would like, and we need to be prepared for the times when it gets messy. In Blessed in the Mess, Joyce Meyer shows us how to be blessed even amid life''s most challenging circumstances. The Bible is filled with instructions on how to handle ourselves when difficulty comes our way, and Blessed in the Mess collects that wisdom into poignant and practical teaching that equips us to remain stable and hopeful in every situation. No matter what unpleasant circumstances we may face, we can remain joyful and patient, trusting God as He works on our problems. If you have not handled your problems well in the past, then with God''s help, you can begin to handle them better, starting now.It is possible to allow our difficulties to make us better and to live in such a way that we will end up better off than we were before the trouble began. We should never waste our pain. Through the wisdom distilled in this book, we can learn how to gain something from our messes, use what we''ve learned to stay out of trouble in the future, and allow our newfound wisdom to help other people mind blessing in the mist of their messes.
