Inter-Varsity Press Jesus, Lover of My Soul: Fresh Pathways to
Book SynopsisDo you long for a closer, deeper walk with God? Would you like to know more about what the Bible says about spiritual intimacy? We say we know about God's love in our heads, but has it really percolated through to our hearts? The Bible employs the metaphor of Christ, the Lover, and believers, his beloved. Yet this rich relationship potential is relatively unexplored in modern popular books, and we are the poorer for it. Using Song of Songs and other Bible sources, the author explores the dynamics of our relationship. We come to understand more fully what it is for Christ to love us and for us to love him. Contents Desire - You're the one I want Show me your face Jesus is not my boyfriend, but... Is the Song of Songs really about me and Jesus? Insecurity Delight Springtime Belonging Distance Christ finds us beautiful Christ gets crazy for love Finally, consummation Distant again Spiritual intimacy betrayed and lost through porn Porn-spoiled lives restored Reconciled Still beautiful to him Spirals of longing and love Conclusion: the power of spiritual marriage in the storms This portrayal of the living dynamics of a believer's relationship with Christ cannot fail to transform our devotional life profoundly.Trade ReviewA delightful, heart-warming and inspiring guide to deeper spiritual intimacy with God. It reorients our desires – whether met, half-met or unmet – to their true and ultimate fulfillment. But it’s so much more than an call to pursue Christ; it’s an invitation to feel his desire for us. The result is a real tonic for the soul. -- Tim Chester * Faculty member of Crosslands Training and author of You Can Change and Enjoying God *Throughout the centuries, generations of Christians have borne witness to the Song of Songs being the means by which they experience deepest intimacy with Christ, their heavenly bridegroom. This series of devotional reflections will help Christians today to share in that same passionate experience, to revel in Jesus's love, to know the joy of his delight in us, and to long desperately for his return when he will sweep us up into his eternal embrace. I really liked the book - both the idea and the execution, and I hope it will open up the Song of Songs to lots of people in a deeper way. -- Ros Clarke * Associate Director of Church Society, and writing a commentary on the Song of Songs *What a remarkable book! Julian Hardyman was once my student, but more recently he has, on several occasions, served as a wise pastor for me personally. I was surprised to find myself convinced by his argument that the Song of Songs can be read not only as a beautiful description of human romantic love, but also as a divinely-inspired guide that can draw believers into a closer personal relationship with Christ. It has certainly done that for me. -- Wayne Grudem * Distinguished Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies, Phoenix Seminary *Preaching and writing on the Song of Songs is always a courageous thing to do - especially when challenging interpretive assumptions that have become well established in recent years. We all owe Julian Hardyman a huge debt for having the courage to do just that in this brilliant book. Like the great Song of Songs itself, this book is at times unsettling and even shocking, yet full of insight and practical help. It is perhaps the most helpful thing I have ever read on how to cultivate a deep and satisfying intimacy with Christ. -- John Risbridger * Minister and Team Leader, Above Bar Church, Southampton *Julian Hardyman offers us here a brilliant explanation of the sometimes confusing Song of Songs. But there is more than just expertise in this book. It is a powerful and much-needed reminder to Christians that Christ desires us and wants us to respond to that desire. -- Dr Simon Gathercole * Professor of NT Studies, Faculty of Divinity, University of Cambridge, Director of Studies in Theology, and Fellow of Fitzwilliam College *I am constantly challenged by our desire to know God better, to 'see his face' and experience him more. Jesus, Lover of My Soul is a timely reminder of the amazing truth that we don’t just desire him, but Christ desires us! As Julian explores the imagery of Christ, and his bride, the church, we are energised by the truth that 'we stand complete in him'. -- Nola Leach * CEO, CARE, UK *This book has renewed in me a fresh passion to know God more, and to delight in His favour. -- Lyndon Bowring * Chairman and Co-founder of CARE *A remarkable combination of intellect, imagination and devotion. Thoroughly contemporary, engaging with our culture as well as the biblical revelation. Often Julian allows us to go quite deeply into his own soul, and so reaches deeply into ours. -- Peter Lewis * Minister at Cornerstone Church, Nottingham, for many years *This book does many things. It makes the Song of Songs accessible. It takes the text seriously. It engages both with Puritans and contemporary culture. But what Jesus, Lover of My Soul does best of all is give us a grown-up view of a passionate and intimate relationship with Christ. As such, this is a rare and precious gift to the church – read it and you will know more of the passion that Christ feels for you. -- Steve Midgley * Senior Minister, Christ Church Cambridge and Executive Director Biblical Counselling UK *This is an extraordinary book. An extended analysis of the Song of Songs, it speaks into the very depths of our own desire for intimacy and love, but then lifts that desire into the spiritual heights that the Song reaches. The book is personal, honest and transparent, yet it is also scholarly, sharing nuggets from a host of other insightful authors in a way that speaks so relevantly into our culture today. The text focuses carefully on the Song itself, but draws on so much biblical literature that we soon realize that its central theme is everywhere, and inexhaustible. Please read this book and indulge yourself in intimacy; you will soon find you are bathing in the warmth and fullness of the love of God. -- Elaine Storkey * Member of the General Synod of Church of England, President of Tearfund, broadcaster and author *One of the most significant cultural drivers of our age is the search for intimacy and the hunger to eliminate alienation. We need an antidote to the misplaced enthronement of sex as the ultimate quest for intimacy. The Song of Songs is one of the ‘lost’ books of the Bible in the devotional life of Christians as well as the preaching of evangelical churches. Jesus Lover of my Soul was created on the anvil of sermons preached in a local church. Each chapter bears witness to what Karl Barth termed ‘the ‘unquenchable yearning’ in the Song of Songs. -- David Coffey OBE * Past President of the Baptist World Alliance *An absolute gem. A wonderful study on the Song of Songs. It will renew your mind and refresh your spirit. * Mike Pilavachi, pastor of Soul Survivor Watford *

Hay House UK Ltd The Rosary: The Prayer That Saved My Life
Book SynopsisImmaculée Ilibagiza believes that praying the rosary spared her from being slaughtered during the horrific 1994 Rwanda genocide, in which her family and more than a million other innocent men, women and children were brutally murdered. Nearly two decades later, Immaculée continues to pray the rosary every day and marvels at how she is constantly renewed and richly rewarded by rejoicing in this glorious prayer. It has helped her in every aspect of her life, from literally saving her life to strengthening her faith, easing sorrows, changing heartache into happiness, healing illnesses in herself and others, solving family problems, landing a dream job, finding long-lost friends, and even locating lost keys! She received so many blessings from the rosary, in fact, that she decided to study its history and origins. She soon discovered that it was not just meant for Catholics, but that the Virgin Mary promised a life filled with blessings to everyone from any religion who faithfully recited the rosary daily . . . and this was such wonderful news that she vowed to share it with as many people as she could. In The Rosary, Immaculée reveals how the rosary's many blessings can be reaped by each and every one of us. In this moving and uplifting book, the New York Times bestselling author recounts her personal experience of discovering the power and the beauty of the ancient beads-and shows all of us how to enrich our own lives by exploring and embracing the mysteries, secrets, and promises of the prayer that became her "lifeline to heaven".

Rudolf Steiner Press The Lord's Prayer: An Esoteric Study
Book Synopsis'The Lord's Prayer' stands at the heart of Christianity. Over the past two millennia, it has been spoken millions of times by millions of people around the world. Rudolf Steiner affirms the power of this prayer, given by Jesus Christ himself, and encourages us to begin to understand it at deeper levels. Such an understanding, he explains, is now necessary for humanity's further development. In the four lectures he gave on this subject, collected here under one cover, Rudolf Steiner penetrates the esoteric meanings of the Lord's Prayer, relating its seven petitions to the seven spiritual and physical bodies of the human being. He also discusses the difference between prayer and meditation, and shows how true prayer is selfless in nature. This volume features an introduction by Judith von Halle, whose work is valued for her experiential knowledge of the Lord's Prayer and the events of Christ's life.

Academic Studies Press Siddur Hatefillah: The Jewish Prayer Book.
Book SynopsisHebrew University Professor Emeritus and Israel Prize recipient Eliezer Schweid (1929-2022) is widely regarded as one of the greatest historians of Jewish thought of our era. In Siddur Hatefillah, he probes the Jewish prayer book as a reflection of Judaism's unity and continuity as a unique spiritual entity; and as the most popular, most uttered, and internalized text of the Jewish people. Schweid explores texts which process religious philosophical teaching into the language of prayer, and/or express philosophical ideas in prayer’s special language – which the worshipper reflects upon in order to direct prayer, and through which flows hoped-for feedback. With the addition of historical, philological, and literary contexts, the study provides the reader with first-time access to the comprehensive meaning of Jewish prayer—filling a vacuum in both the experience and scholarship of Jewish worship.Table of ContentsTranslator’s AcknowledgementsTranslator’s Introduction: Eliezer Schweid as Worshipper in the State of IsraelAuthor’s Preface: My Path to the Jewish Prayer Book (Siddur Hatefillah)Introduction: The Siddur (Jewish Prayer Book): Its Sources, Goal, and Theological Basis Worship of God and the Process of the Sacred Congregation’s Formation and Expression Prayer as a Form of Primal Expression of the Human Soul Torah and Prayer: The Problem of Love and Sin in the Relations between God and the Human Being The “Name and Kingship” Blessing as the Fundamental Rubric of Standing before God in Prayer Establishing the Covenant of Faith between the Individual Human Being and His God Principles of Faith Keriyat Shema—Covenant of Love between God and His People The Poetics of the Shema and the Shemoneh Esrei The Shemoneh Esrei Prayer: The Kedushah (Sanctification) and Ḥaninat Hada’at (God as Giver of Knowledge) The Shemoneh Esrei Prayer—Requests by the Individual in the Assembly: Teshuvah (Repentance) and Forgiveness The Shemoneh Esrei Prayer: Redemption, Healing, and Livelihood The Shemoneh Esrei (Eighteen Benedictions) That Are Really Nineteen: Redemption from Deepening Exile The Shemoneh Esrei—Responding in Anticipation of Complete Redemption Types of Biblical Poetry as a Source of Prayer Between the Poetry of Prophecy and Prayer The Poetry of the Psalms: Personal-Soulful and Societal-Political Messages Hymnal Song for the Sabbath Day.

Book SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER ? A collection of prayer, poetry, and spiritual practice centering the Black interior world, from theauthor of This Here Flesh and creator of Black Liturgies ?A true spiritual balmfor our troubled times.??Michael Eric Dyson, author of What Truth Sounds LikeFor years, Cole Arthur Rileywas desperate for a spirituality she could trust. Amid ongoing national racial violence, the isolation of the pandemic, and a surge of anti-Black rhetoric in many Christian spaces, she began dreaming of a more human, more liberating expression of faith.She went on to create Black Liturgies, a digital project that connects spiritual practice with Black emotion, Black memory, and the Black body.In this book, she brings together hundreds of new prayers, along with letters, poems, meditation questions,breath practices, scriptures, and the writings of Black literaryancestors to offer forty-three liturgies that can be practiced individually or as a community. Inviting readers to reflect on their shared experiences of wonder, rest, rage, and repair, and creating rituals for holidays like Lent and Juneteenth, Arthur Riley writes with a poet?s touch and a sensitivity that has made her one of the most important spiritual voices at work today.For anyone healing from communities that were more violent than loving; for anyone who has escaped the trauma of white Christian nationalism, religious homophobia, or transphobia; for anyone asking what it means to be human in a world of both beauty and terror, Black Liturgies is a work of healing and empowerment, and a vision for what might be.

Collective Ink First English Prayer Book (Adapted for Modern Us
Book SynopsisIn 1549 Thomas Cranmer published the first "Prayer Book" in English. Based on a medieval form of worship, its language is both sublime and majestic. "Later Prayer Books" produced by the Anglican Communion are derived from it - and in the eyes of many are inferior. All Christian denominations in England and America owe an incalculable debt to Cranmer's pioneering work. This new edition presents Cranmer's services in a form which is practical, accessible and easy to follow. This is the first edition designed for use in worship since the original publication over 450 years ago. As in the original, the instructions - the "rubrics" - are printed in red. The present publishers hope that churches and informal Christian groups may use if for occasional - or even regular - acts of worship.Trade Review... delightful... excellent resource... I recommend this book to anyone... interest[ed] in liturgy or in the history of the Anglican tradition. The Rev. Jim Snell, The San Joaquin Star
