In The Truth and Beauty, Andrew Klavan explored how the work of great poets helps illuminate the truth of the gospels. Now, the award-winning screenwriter and crime novelist turns his attention to the dark side of human nature to discover how we might find joy and beauty in the world while still being clear-eyed about the evil found in it. The Kingdom of Cain looks at three murders in history—including the first murder, Cain's killing of his brother, Abel—and at the art created from imaginative engagement with those horrific events by artists ranging from Fyodor Dostoevsky to Alfred Hitchcock.

The Odu Ifa is a collection of 256 sacred verses of wisdom and prophecy from the Yoruba religion, which are used as a tool for divination. Each of the verses, or Odu, is filled with mystical and ethical teachings and serves as a foundation for understanding the universe. Performing an Odu Ifa divination is a complex process that requires a trained priest, known as a Babalawo for men or an Iyanifa for women. The process typically involves the priest invoking the spirit of Orunmila, the Orisha of wisdom and divination, using sacred palm nuts or a divination chain, called an Opele. The priest ...

Schonfield's famous book now available for Kindle! Dr. Hugh Schonfield (1901 - 1988), a renowned Jewish historian, who specialized on the history of Christian origins, went beyond his acclaimed expertise and considerable research, leading to his nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Arguing that global communications have fragmented national cultures and that multiculturalism, intended to reduce social frictions, is today reinforcing them, Sacks argues for a new approach to national identity, making the case for "integrated diversity" within a framework of shared political values. Britain, he argues, will have to construct a national narrative as a basis for identity, reinvigorate the concept of the common good, and identify shared interests among currently conflicting groups.

In The Fourteen Bravest Christians, author Todd Bauerle shares the powerful true stories of the men who stood beside Jesus and boldly carried His message into a dangerous world. These early followers faced persecution, torture, and even death—but their courage changed history.

Sacks argues that faiths must remain open to criticism, keep alive their separate communities and still contribute far more to national debates on moral issues. They must also learn to get along better. His thesis is that we still live under a Biblical canopy and that a cohesive morality needs the uniting bonds of faith. The subject of this book—religions and ethics—is good ground for him to build on: The Jewish contribution to ethics is distinctly rational and has a long and illustrious tradition. Moral philosophy is after all a Jewish preoccupation.

In an assiduously researched biography of a 16th-century Jewish woman who managed a powerful business empire, Brooks, an associate fellow at Yale, has illuminated a mostly forgotten corner of history. Famed during her lifetime both in the Sephardic Jewish community for her unstinting philanthropy and in the wider world of the Muslim Ottoman Empire, where she fled to escape the Inquisition, Beatrice de Luna Mendes, better known as Doña Gracia Nasi (1510-1569), was a woman of formidable business acumen, personal courage, outstanding altruism and devotion to the Jewish religion, which, as a ...

The thesis of this book is quite simple and intuitive: If you want to look for evidence for the afterlife, observe the dying, to see if there’s any indication that they’re going somewhere. Researchers are finding that several experiences related to death are global and quite common, including: Primary Deathbed Experiences, where over 80% of the dying in a hospice unit report vivid experiences with deceased relatives and angels Terminal Lucidity, where people lose brain function over time, only to regain full consciousness to say their goodbyes before dying Shared Death Experiences, ...

Few matters are more controversial than the subject of the End Times. Although the Bible is brimming with prophetic material relating to the Last Days, Christian scholars remain quite divided in their understanding of eschatology. Part of the problem stems from the fact that we all tend to read into the End Times our own geopolitical and theological biases. This book aims to rectify this by re-centering the debate to its historic context, namely the Middle East, where the author has spent most of his life ministering to Muslims. Likewise, instead of taking sides in the eschatological arena,...

Charlotte Beradt began having unsettling dreams after Adolf Hitler took power in 1933. She envisioned herself being shot at, tortured and scalped, surrounded by Nazis in disguise, and breathlessly fleeing across fields with storm troopers at her heels. Shaken by these nightmares and banned as a Jew from working, she began secretly collecting dreams from her friends and neighbors, both Jewish and non-Jewish. Disguising these "diaries of the night" in code and concealing them in the spines of books from her extensive library, she smuggled them out of the country one by one.

Few matters produce more public interest and public anxiety than sex and religion. Much of the political contention and division in societies across the world centres on sexual topics, and one-third of the global population is Christian in background or outlook. The issue goes to the heart of present-day religion.
