Book excerpt: Toba Spitzer's God Is Here is a transformative exploration of the idea of God, offering new paths to experiencing the realm of the sacred. Most of us are hungry for a system of meaning to make sense of our lives, yet traditional religion too often leaves those seeking spiritual sustenance unsatisfied. Rabbi Toba Spitzer understands this problem firsthand, and knows that too often it is traditional ideas of the deity—he's too big, too impersonal, and too unbelievable—that get in the way. In God Is Here, Spitzer argues that whether we believe in God or fervently disbelieve, what we are actually disagreeing about is not God at all, but a metaphor of a Big Powerful Person that limits our understanding and our spiritual lives. Going back to the earliest sources for Judaism as well as Christianity, Spitzer discovers in the Hebrew Bible a rich and varied palette of metaphors for the divine—including Water, Voice, Fire, Rock, Cloud, and even the process of Becoming. She addresses how we can access these ancient metaphors, as well as those drawn from rabbinic tradition and modern science, to experience holiness in our daily lives and to guide us in challenging times. In the section on water, for instance, she looks at the myriad ways water flows through the Biblical stories of the Israelites and emerges as a powerful metaphor for the divine in the Prophets and Psalms. She invites us to explore what it might mean to “drink from God,” or to experience godly justice as something that “rains down” and “flows like a river.” Each chapter contains insights from the Bible and teachings from Judaism and other spiritual traditions, accompanied by suggestions for practice to bring alive each of the God metaphors. Rabbi Toba Spitzer has helped many people satisfy their spiritual hunger. With God Is Here she will inspire you to find new and perhaps surprising ways of encountering the divine, right where you are.

Book excerpt: FREE Audiobook and Workbook/Journal inside and on GodAndYouAndMe.com/God-Is-Here-Free-Stuff Our world can be cruel-we experience a mixture of health and sickness, hope and fear, peace and discord, wealth and poverty, love and hate. In the aftermath of tragedy, people ask, "If God is good and cares for me, why does He allow suffering? Where is justice for evil? Where is healing for my loved ones? When I'm hurting, where is God?" In GOD is HERE, John W. Nichols shares how he hated God because of His apparent absence. But when John was at the peak of his anger, God spoke to him in an undeniable way. The author weaves in the story of God revealing His love with a Biblical explanation of the trials we face, while inviting us to break down any walls we've put between us and Jesus, so we can return to Him the love He first showed us. This book answers: Why do we experience suffering? Does God send sickness, natural disasters, and war to teach us? Can we trust God after tragedy occurs? Is there more to life than what we see? Are we influenced by spiritual forces? Can we interact with God? How does God care for us? Does God have a good plan for our lives? Can we make a difference in this world? And so much more... Check out John's new book Healing is Here: A 49-Day Devotional Journey of Healing Through the Bible! "John Nichols is an example of a young man whose life has been marvelously transformed when he surrendered to Christ. He now lives to share what he has learned with others. His Bible-based teaching will lead every follower of Jesus into a deeper, more joyful walk." — Joanne Hillman, Author of Listening Prayer, A Perfect Marriage, Song of Salome, and more, JoanneHillman.com

Book excerpt: We live in an age of skepticism. Our society places such faith in empirical reason, historical progress, and heartfelt emotion that it’s easy to wonder: Why should anyone believe in Christianity? What role can faith and religion play in our modern lives? In this thoughtful and inspiring new book, pastor and New York Times bestselling author Timothy Keller invites skeptics to consider that Christianity is more relevant now than ever. As human beings, we cannot live without meaning, satisfaction, freedom, identity, justice, and hope. Christianity provides us with unsurpassed resources to meet these needs. Written for both the ardent believer and the skeptic, Making Sense of God shines a light on the profound value and importance of Christianity in our lives.

Book excerpt: Karl Barth was, without doubt, one of the most significant religious thinkers of modern times. His radical affirmation of the revealed truth of Christianity changed the course of Christian theology in the twentieth century and is a source of inspiration for countless believers. Pope Pius XII declared that there had been nothing like Karl Barth's later thought since Thomas Aquinas. God Here and Now offers a succinct and accessible overview of that thought. In it, Barth outlines his position on the fundamental tenets of Christian belief, from the decision of faith to the authority of the Bible, and from the interpretation of grace to the significance of Jesus Christ. In this way Barth challenges each and every reader to discover what it means to encounter God, here and now.

Book excerpt: You know that perfect feeling? That Life-Is-Good moment on the open highway with the windows down and the radio up, when the perfect song comes on, and you sing along with carefree, top of your lungs abandon? When joy and contentment and life well up from somewhere deep in your soul? What if you could live that way? A seventeenth-century monk named Brother Lawrence figured out how, and wrote about it in the devotional classic, The Practice of the Presence of God. He found a way to connect with God moment by moment, to experience the joy of his divine presence every minute of every day—whether during deep, contemplative prayer or while washing a sink full of dishes. In God Is Here, Steve Case unearths that seventeenth-century wisdom and remixes it into a twenty-first-century guide to everyday life. With modern, thought-provoking essays drawn from Brother Lawrence’s original writings, God Is Here shows you how to connect with a God who’s always available. God is here. Connect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you recently become a Christian and now have a Spiritual thirst that the Holy Spirit gives you to read and learn more about your new-found life in Christ and don't know where to turn or what to read for answers? Reading the gospel of John and proceeding into the book of Acts is a wonderful enlightenment but what about those nagging questions that keep coming to mind, and what do those various confusing and conflicting expressions that you hear mean? What is "Pentecostalism"? What is "Charismatic," the "baptism of the Holy Spirit," and, moreover, did I receive them with my Salvation? "Speaking in tongues" -- is it something that I need to do to become a completed Christian? Should I still expect to see miraculous healings today? Are there such things as Demons, and what are they allowed to do? This book answers all of those questions and more. Stephen P. Baltz was born in Southern California where he attended college, received a degree in Political Science, entered law school, and worked in the title insurance industry. The Lord interrupted these careers and led him into banking where, early in his profession, he was led to Santa Ana, California, for four months -- just long enough for him to make a highly-speculative loan while the Lord supernaturally controlled members of the Loan Committee, thereby allowing the formation of a major Christian broadcasting network. Later, the Lord caused various banking regulators to give him and his wife the ownership of five failed banks and approximately $3,700,000, while assisting them in restoring those banks to rapid profitability. The Lord changed his dispensational mindset when He led him to a lost boy, who had been missing in the Colorado Rocky Mountains for a week, which had become the leading news story.
