Foundation Press Valuable: Discovering the Biblical Message
Book SynopsisHave you ever wondered how Eve experienced the new world God created at the beginning of time? Or what Hagar went through as a slave girl bearing the child of her owner? And how Martha felt when Jesus seemed to favour her lazy sister? This Bible study book is about women, written by women and for women. It is a tool to discover and apply the life lessons from women in the bible in our daily lives. Based on stories about women in the Bible, daily practical examples from African context and the discovery of biblical values, we hope that our sisters recognise themselves in it and that this may strengthen our faith, help in the struggles of everyday and above all that we may know we are valued by God.

Inner Traditions Bear and Company Tantric Kali: Secret Practices and Rituals
Book SynopsisAccording to traditions going back to pre-Vedic times, Kali sprang from the third eye of the Goddess Durga as a destructive and terrifying manifestation of feminine power sent to lay waste to the forces of evil. Throughout India to this day, Kali is worshipped as the destroyer of bondage, capable of liberating her devotee from all rules and subjugation. In The Tantric Kali, Daniel Odier presents the mythology, practices, and rituals of Kali worship in the Tantric Kaula tradition within Kashmiri Shaivism. He reveals the practices of Vamachara, commonly known as the Left-hand Path but more accurately translated as the Path of Shakti. In this tradition the body itself is Kali’s temple, and it is therefore unnecessary to reject or deny the body to know union with the divine. Instead, nothing is regarded as pure or impure and there is complete freedom from rules. Focused on working directly with forbidden emotions and behaviors, this path allows the seeker to transcend obstacles to liberation through sexual union. According to the Kaula Upanishad, “In your behavior do the opposite to what the norms dictate but remain in consciousness.” This is the essence of Tantra. Kali is absolute reality: manifested as woman intoxicated by desire, she frees the tantric practitioner from all desire except union with the divine.Trade Review“Tantric Kali provides depth as we are guided through mythology, ritual, visualization, and life teachings to have a direct experience of Shakti from the wisdom teachings of the Kaula path. Daniel offers another treasure from the heart of his realization—steeped in his lineage with translations of the oldest ritual to Kali--songs and hymns and truly transformative practices and meditations direct from the root. A full-spectrum offering, this is the birth of another Odier classic. Daniel is one of the extraordinary and skillful practitioner teacher-scholar-writers of our time. Tantric Kali is juicy, liberating, radical, and exquisite and offers a unique compendium of tantric Kali sadhana accessible to all.” * Shiva Rea, yogini, founder of Samudra Global School for Living Yoga, and author of Tending the Heart *Table of ContentsPreface IntroductionKali and the Tantric Path1 Kali's Origins and Symbolism2 The Kaula Tradition 3 Preliminary Practices of the Kaula Tradition 4 The Nirrutara Tantra Scripture That Is Superior to All Others5 The Rituals of Kali and the Sacred Union 6 Advancing on the Kaula Path Meditation on the Eight Chakras, the Yoginis’Ultimate Practice of the Heart, and the Devouring of Inner Demons7 Hymns and Songs in Praise of Kali NotesBibliography Index About the Author

NEWTYPE Publishing Unpunishable: Ending Our Love Affair with
Book SynopsisTwo thousand years ago, Jesus Christ revealed the Father to humanity, not as an angry punisher of sinners, but as a merciful forgiver bent on reconciliation with His lost sons and daughters. Through Christ’s perfect sacrifice, the Father ensured that inside this reconciled relationship with Him, nothing we could ever do could separate us from His love. He made us unpunishable. Yet the body of Christ struggles to create a relational culture that accurately reflects the heart of the Father—a culture of mature love that drives away the fear of punishment (1 John 4:18) and leads people who sin on a journey of repentance, restoration, and reconciliation. In fact, the fear of punishment often seems to have the strongest hold at the leadership level in most churches. Many leaders live in isolation and performance, and often burn out or crash morally, because they believe that if they have any problems, they will be punished—a belief that is too often realized. At the same time, these leaders struggle to see how they can lead and protect people without using tools of punishment when people sin. Unpunishable is a call to all believers, but especially leaders, to end our dysfunctional love affair with the fear of punishment and build a relational culture that empowers people to walk in the light of freedom and love, own and clean up their messes, and mature into sons and daughters who look like the Father.

Three Rivers Press Love and War Find Your Way to Something Beautiful
Book SynopsisWith astonishing vulnerability that engages readers from the first page, John and Stasi Eldredge openly discuss their own marriage and the breakthroughs they have won from the challenges they’ve faced. Each talks to the reader about what he and she have learned, providing a balance between male and female perspectives that has been absent from previous books on this topic. John and Stasi begin Love & War with an obvious confession: Marriage is fabulously hard. But beneath and behind the inevitable tensions a man and woman “locked in the same submarine” are going to have, the real battle is against the work of the Enemy, who plots and schemes to tear love apart. The Eldredges show how couples can win “by fighting for each other, instead of against each other.” As they say, “We live in a great love story, set in the midst of war.”“This is a book of wisdom and hope…a beautiful labor th

Christian Focus Publications Ltd Gender Ideology: What Do Christians Need to Know?
Book SynopsisThe world has embraced the idea that gender is something that can be decided by individuals. As Christians encounter colleagues, friends and family members who identify as a gender other than the one they were born, we need to be informed and equipped with knowledge about what the issues are, what different terms mean and what the Bible has to say about these things. While we walk the line between loving our neighbour and not buying into the world’s lies, Sharon James helps us in this informative and practical guide.Trade ReviewThis is a remarkable book, both for the range of material covered and its sharp insights into the dominant pathologies of our time. … a book from which all parents, pastors, and the Christian public in general will greatly benefit. -- Carl R. Trueman (Professor of Biblical and Religious Studies, Grove City College, Pennsylvania)Compassion demands that we grasp the argument of this powerful yet uncomfortable book. This book will help congregations to have clarity where they might be feeling perplexed and it will also help us as we seek to minster in love to those who have been impacted. -- Greg Strain (Senior Pastor, Spicer Street Church, St Albans, England)A powerful, eye–opening, gracious, and ultimately alarming book that will quickly give readers a deeper understanding of the deceptiveness of the modern ‘gender identity’ movement that is rapidly capturing our media, our laws, our schools, and our children – and even our very freedom to speak the foundational truth that God created the human race with two ‘very good’ genders, male and female, and they cannot be changed. -- Wayne Grudem (Research Professor of Theology and Biblical Studies, Phoenix Seminary, Phoenix, Arizona)This book will prove to be an invaluable resource to Christian parents seeking wisdom in navigating this transgender moment. -- Ryan T. Anderson (Author of ‘When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment’)Though short, it is packed with all the information and background you will need to help you understand what is going on in our culture. Clearly written, well– informed, contemporary and biblical. Personally I would recommend that every Christian have a copy, and every church several. Superb! -- David Robertson (Well–known pastor and apologist)A challenging, confusing and complex topic is handled in an accessible, respectful and compassionate way, which will leave the reader with greater confidence in the truth that we have all been created male or female. -- Philippa Taylor (Head of Public Policy at Christian Medical Fellowship & Consultant on Bioethics)
