Did you ever wonder why Saul, who was brought up as the self-proclaimed Hebrew of Hebrews, grew to be so bitter and prideful? Why he made it his life’s work to stop the “blasphemous” Jesus as well as his apostles and disciples? Why he tricked Jesus and was instrumental in his ultimate crucifixion? In Saul of Tarsus: The First Terrorist, novelist Jack Minter maps out the life of Saul and contrasts his experiences with those of Jesus. He shows both the similarities and the differences between the two young men, what their families were like, how they worshipped, and how they were schooled. Minter’s story demonstrates that while both men grew up in comparable circumstances, one’s path took unlikely turns and ultimately led to the salvation of humanity. Saul of Tarsus: The First Terrorist is a study in contrasts, a thought-provoking novel that will have you revisiting the scriptures and seeing them in a new light.

Страсть – болезненное состояние души, которое влечет человека к нарушению заповедей, мешает следовать за Христом. Как же избавиться от тирании гордости, тщеславия, уныния, гнева? Почему исповедуясь в одних и тех же грехах, мы не можем с ними справиться? С этими вопросами журналист Леонид Виноградов обратился не к священникам, а к ведущим православным психологам. В беседах с ними восемь основных страстей раскрываются в неожиданном ракурсе – с точки зрения христианской психологии. И оказывается, что греховные состояния часто паразитируют на наших комплексах и душевных травмах, а нерешенные психологические проблемы могут стать серьезным препятствием на духовном пути. Рекомендовано к публикации Издательским советом Русской Православной Церкви. © Storysidе

PRACTICAL TEACHINGS FOR PEACE AND FULFILLMENT<br><br>In this clear introduction to the Vedanta philosophy of India, you&#39;ll discover a new perspective that can bring inner peace, inner strength and improve your relationships for a happier life. This spiritual book written by Paul Hourihan, an American, introduces these ancient teachings in a way that Westerners, in particular, can easily relate to and understand. <br><br>Why learn about the teachings of Vedanta? <br>– According to Vedanta, ignorance of our real nature is the cause of our suffering and grief. The practical application of this philosophy is the means to Self-discovery, integration and inner peace for those of all faiths and those with no particular faith. <br>– By stressing the universal truths common to all religions, they provide a unifying basis for mutual understanding and peace in a world increasingly fragmented by opposing beliefs. <br>– They provide a foundation for understanding why a moral and ethical life are necessary.<br>– This knowledge gives us the means for realizing our true identity as Children of Immortal Bliss.<br><br>Using the teachings of the Upanishads, this study covers the main principles and core concepts of Vedanta and covers important subjects such as meditation, nonattachment. It also provides an overview of the mysticism of India and a summary of the Yoga system of thought, as well as the Bhagavad Gita, another key Vedantic scripture. <br><br>The last section reveals the universality of these teachings through confirmations of great mystics from other traditions including Plotinus, Lao Tzu, Meister Eckhart and the Sufis of Islam. <br><br>Vedanta shows the way to inner peace, harmony among all peoples, and respect for all life.

7 days of pain is a biblical principle that I discovered through an intensely difficult time in my life. I gravitated toward the stories of David and Job because, in a week, they both seemed to have endured the impossible and were healed through it. I wanted desperately to recover and move past the dark years. I had to ask myself extremely difficult questions in order to heal. Why did this happen to me? What is it going to take for me to be free? Is God torturing me? Why won&#39;t He make it stop? David&#39;s suffering was brought about by his pride, much like my own. God had to work hard in breaking him down because his pride had crept into every corner of his being. Job took comfort in his unblemished relationship with God, much like I did. He questioned God&#39;s judicial right to cause him this pain. All he wanted was for God to explain Himself, just like we do. <br><br>There are two types of spiritual pain: self-inflicted, brought about by our own mistakes and growing pains brought about by God. We can examine the biblical stories of King David and Job as models for reacting to suffering. I want this to be as much of a sensory experience as possible. I want you to connect with the Bible characters and get lost in their stories. I want you to be able to overlay their stories with your experiences and find common ground. As you read through this book, you&#39;ll notice an uplifting song is linked with each chapter. If you are struggling right now, take the time to listen to each song as your read through each chapter. Read the lyrics to the song and play them at least twice before moving on. Allow the Spirit of God to seep in and scrub away what doesn&#39;t belong. <br><br>The objective isn&#39;t for you to be pain free at the end of this book, although I believe God can do that. The intent is to peel you off the ground and get you up onto your knees in seven days. My pain was still present, but I could feel the warmth of the sun at the end of my tunnel. I would love to hear how God has brought you through your dark shadows.
