Meditation| Jewish| Inspirational| Mediation (ADR)| Recovery/12 Step | Favorites | Gestalt & Psychology |Autobiography of God, Lloyd J. Ogilvie. List: $11.99 ~ Our Price: $9.59 ~ You Save: $2.40 (20%). There is no more important autobiography than this. A superb interpretation of the parables told by Jesus.
The Message: The New Testament in Contemporary English, Eugene H. Peterson, translator. List: $16.99 ~ Our Price: $13.59 ~ You Save: $3.40 (20%). Written in the rhythms and idiom of contemporary language--the way you'd talk with friends, write a letter, or discuss politics at the office--The Message brings with it the flavor of the original Greek, which is surprisingly informal. Peterson--a prolific poet, author, and pastor--provides in this unique translation a fresh, contemporary look at an all-time bestseller. This version stimulates thought because it is so simple and direct. It is also a fine book for prison ministry or for teaching people with a limited ability to read the English language. Highly recommended as a first or second Bible. Now includes psalms and proverbs!
Traveling Light: Modern Meditations on St. Paul's Letter of Freedom, Eugene H., Peterson. List: $15.95 ~ Our Price: $15.95. Superb book by an outstanding Bible scholar. We live in a world awash in fantasies of freedom but we are so weighed down by daily anxieties that we don't hear God's trumpet, calling us to be free. With Peterson's help, we can rise above our own pessimism to experience the vitality of personal freedom.
 | New Jerusalem Bible/Regular. List: $37.50 ~ Our Price: $26.25 ~ You Save: $11.25 (30%). Contains the complete text of the ancient canon of scripture, along with up-to-date and extensive introductions and notes. Eight pages of color maps and indexes, including biblical themes, personal names, and major footnotes. This is a modern Catholic Bible, so it contains the story of the Maccabees and other chapters considered apocraphyl by Protestants. The text is highly sensitive to nuances found in the original languages. It is written in elegant, understandable prose and poetry. I highly recommend this version of scriptures. |
Jewish New Testament, David H. Stern, translator. List: $17.50 ~ Our Price: $17.50.
Also The Jewish New Testament Commentary: A
Companion Volume to the Jewish New Testament, David H. Stern. List: $39.50 ~ Our Price: $39.50. This translation is especially scholarly and accurate. It has an in-depth understanding of the nature of the New Testament, a book about a Jewish carpenter whose name was translated as "Jesus" by the Greeks. He was called Yeshua by his apostles, most of whom were also Jewish. The ideas expressed in this translation and commentary are useful to gain a fuller understanding than can be gained solely from the more popular translations. It often has new insights, particularly in the commentary, concerning matters of the Jewish culture and the meaning of the Torah, including the implications of the Torah for a proper understanding of the gospels. This book is a must for serious Bible scholars.

We have all been endowed by our Creator with the strength and spirit to move beyond life's difficulties and attain the shining happiness that is Christianity's promise. This book helps to inspire so that you can receive that special endowment.
Blood Brothers, Elias Chacour. List: $8.99 ~ Our Price: $7.19 ~ You Save: $1.80 (20%). One reader writes:
Rating=10: A moving must-read for those interested in Arab-Jewish peace Father Elias Chacour is a Palestinian Christian Israeli citizen who has striven to reconcile Arab and Jew through peaceful efforts and mutual understanding. His memoir is written in an easy touching style and chronicles his life. Free of the prevalent falsehoods and stereotypes of Palestinians that one might read in a Leon Uris novel, we are led by the hand through the real injustices inflicted upon the Palestinians and the efforts of people -- Arabs, Jews, and outsiders -- to bring peace to the troubled land and its peoples.My friends at National Presbyterian Church know Mr. Chacour well. They have enormous respect for him, and I am sure his book would be inspirational reading.
A Radical Jew: Paul and the Politics of Identity, Daniel Boyarin. List: $18.95 ~ Our Price: $18.95.
