Description:
The world is a very religious place. Wherever you look, people are worshipping, praying, believing, following, even dying for their faith. But are all faiths the same? Do they all call on the same God using different names?
In this timely book, John Dickson presents each of the world's major religions in its best light. Adding readings from the sacred texts, he carefully outlines the history, belief systems and spiritual practices of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam so that the interested "spectator" can explore the similarities and differences.

"I'm tired of feeling stressed out every day." "I can't stand having so little impact, despite caring so much and working so hard." "I just don't have anything left to give."
Over years of developing and teaching their renowned Mindful Self-Compassion program, Kristin Neff and Christopher Germer have found MSC to be uniquely helpful for people struggling with the soul-draining depletion of burnout-from health care professionals, teachers, and caregivers, to tapped-out business owners and employees.
Each chapter in this engaging book offers an empathic story of someone stretched to their limits and an easily digestible bite of self-compassion that culminates in a simple anti-burnout tool based on MSC practices. Learn quick and powerful ways to recharge your batteries, de-stress, and, above all, be kind to yourself-so you can be there for others.

Description:
For decades, Stanley Hauerwas has been provoking Christians with his insistence that if they would only follow their Master, it would impact all areas of life, from the personal to the societal.
Time magazine has dubbed Hauerwas as "America's theologian" for his zinging insights into today's ethical questions. He says Christians should stop bemoaning their loss of cultural and political power and instead welcome their status as outsiders and embrace the radical alternative Jesus has had in mind for them all along.
These accessible readings selected from Hauerwas's seminal books will introduce a timely, prophetic voice to another generation of followers of Jesus tired of religion as usual.
The book emerges from the author's personal experience as a deacon, conversations with hundreds of deacons, and ongoing personal study. He takes for granted preparatory work on the diaconate that deacons will have undergone during preordination formation.
The first chapter picks up Cardinal McElroy's statement: "We are living in a wonderful moment in the life of the church." The following chapters reflect on issues that are particularly significant: being rooted and founded in Jesus the deacon, and the spirituality of the deacon.

Description:
This collection of essays addresses theologies of mothering from the range of everyday as well as cataclysmic experiences that mothers encounter. These authors search for what is revealed, made new, deepened, or transformed when mothering and theological questions and categories wrestle with each other in the context of mothers' lives.
"This is a fascinating collection of heartfelt narratives of motherhood and theological-pastoral reflections on these experiences. Kudos to the writers for breaking the 'maternal silence' to foreground matricentric feminism!" -Agnes M. Brazal. professor and research fellow, De la Salle University, Philippines
