Book excerpt: Reflecting the Third Article of the Nicene Creed, The Lord, The Giver of Life describes God and creation according to the redeeming work of the Holy Spirit. Aaron T. Smith shows that it is not immateriality and materiality, which define "God" and "world," but reflexive capacity for otherness realized in covenantal history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the Spirit, being somewhat forgotten is an occupational hazard. The Holy Spirit is so actively involved in our lives that we can take his presence for granted. As they say, familiarity breeds contempt. Just as we take breathing for granted, we can take the Holy Spirit for granted simply because we constantly depend on him. Like the cane that soon feels like an extension of the blind man’s own body, we too easily begin to think of the Holy Spirit as an extension of ourselves. Yet the Spirit is at the center of the action in the divine drama from Genesis 1:2 all the way to Revelation 22:17. The Spirit’s work is as essential as the Father’s and the Son’s, yet the Spirit’s work is always directed to the person and work of Christ. In fact, the efficacy of the Holy Spirit’s mission is measured by the extent to which we are focused on Christ. The Holy Spirit is the person of the Trinity who brings the work of the Father, in the Son, to completion. In everything that the Triune God performs, this perfecting work is characteristic of the Spirit. In Rediscovering the Holy Spirit, author, pastor, and theologian Mike Horton introduces readers to the neglected person of the Holy Spirit, showing that the work of God’s Spirit is far more ordinary and common than we realize. Horton argues that we need to take a step back every now and again to focus on the Spirit himself—his person and work—in order to recognize him as someone other than Jesus or ourselves, much less something in creation. Through this contemplation we can gain a fresh dependence on the Holy Spirit in every area of our lives.

Book excerpt: Presents the Orthodox perspective on who the Holy Spirit is, where the mystery of God comes alive. Delving deep and subtly into Orthodox tradition and theology, The Giver of Life articulates the identity of the Holy Spirit as the third Person of the Trinity as well as the role of the Holy Spirit in the salvation of the world. Written with a poetic sensibility, Fr. Oliver begins with Pentecost, an event uniquely celebrated in Orthodoxy as a time when greenery of all kinds is brought into churches. "The splash of green foliage calls to mind not just life, but a special kind of life. It is the life that transcends biological existence and flows from the very Godhead Itself; it is life that's a state of being—immortal, everlasting, changeless. Ferns and flowers fade and die, but souls filled with this ‘life from above' flourish forever." Reflecting on the relationship of the Holy Spirit to the Church, to the world, and to the human person, Giver of Life looks to the impressive biblical and liturgical tradition of Orthodox Christianity. This is a book weighty in content but accessible in tone, not an academic study of the mind, but a lived experience of the heart.

Because today's world is globally interdependent, inter-woven, and integrative, it is pertinent to be open to the cultural, spiritual, and religious understandings of the East

Here it is - the first new Catechism of the Catholic Church in more than 400 years, a complete summary of what Catholics around the world commonly believe. The Catechism draws on the Bible, the Mass, the Sacraments, Church tradition and teaching, and the lives of saints. It comes with a complete index, footnotes and cross-references for a fuller understanding of every subject. The word catechism means "instruction" - this book will serve as the standard for all future catechisms. Using the tradition of explaining what the Church believes (the Creed), what she celebrates (the Sacraments), what she lives (the Commandments), and what she prays (the Lord's Prayer), the Catechism of the Catholic Church offers challenges for believers and answers for all those interested in learning about the mystery of the Catholic faith. The Catechism of the Catholic Church is a positive, coherent and contemporary map for our spiritual journey toward transformation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is waiting! Tap into the Life Giver Himself and begin to give life more abundantly. Then share it! The whole world is your family in need. Based on the author’s profound, personal vision when he was caught up into Heaven, he shares the intimate details that the Lord gave him about heavenly abundance and how to live in Kingdom wealth, and share it with others. This vision changed his perspective on life—and it will do the same for you. The reality of how the thief prowls around like a lion, stealing hope, killing dreams, and destroying God’s family is savagely clear. As is the comforting fact that as God’s child you have authority to have life and give life to those the Father is redeeming. Jesus passed the torch to today’s believers. Wherever you are, whoever you are—opportunities abound to be fruitful, multiply, and give hope to God’s lost, broken, and hurting children. The Life Giver helps you to: See life with new vision, expectation, and purpose. See daily interactions and opportunities to “Give life” to others. See others through the family of God with redeeming love. Connect and overflow with the Life Giver Himself. Tap into the creative and revelatory power of God. The same creative life-giving power that has been breathed into you by The Life Giver, must be breathed out through you to a world gasping for fresh, heavenly air.
