Many Christians do not have a full understanding of what it means to fight the good fight of faith. They try to live by faith but in the face of everyday trials and failures, they find themselves disillusioned and discouraged, wondering if they have done something wrong or if living by faith only works for others. The problem for most is simply a lack of understanding regarding what faith is and how it works. This book, inspired by the Book of Joshua, reviews three tools a person can develop to fight in faith.

The heart is where the human soul and God meet. This is what teachings from Scripture and the mystics reveal: The heart is the temple of God within us, and within the heart, we hold the key to live a truly divine life.

In Eternal Heart, Carl McColman, author of The Big Book of Christian Mysticism, invites us to create an optimistic, visionary, and imaginative path to personal happiness and fulfillment.

Our world is full of fear: fear of death, public speaking, flying, drowning, failure, rejection, snakes, needles, heights, darkness, enclosed places, and countless more.

For years, Cole Arthur Riley was 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.

The author has mixed feelings about this book. At first, he thought it was brilliant and life-changing—and some readers agreed. He let the praise go to his head. But many didn’t get it. Eventually, Kalin became ashamed—of the mind-over-matter hocus-pocus, the plot holes, the misunderstood or offensive moments, the painfully awkward sex scenes. He disowned the book for 20 years. Maybe that was a mistake. Because this strange, messy story is still a window into his soul. So here it is, unchanged and unedited—for better or worse. The plot: Lisa is a slave on a desert planet slowly ...

Is darkness synonymous with ignorance and evil? Or is it the original matrix from which all life emerges, and the Mother to whom it returns?

With all that in mind, it’s easy to understand why more and more people want...

How often have you heard, “Don’t let your emotions get the best of you”?
