Book Description
"Waters's elegant language suggests that there is grace to be found in facing and speaking of our sorrows. . . . His use of humor creates a tension between the profane and the sublime."—Arts & Letters Among the survivors of the Donner Party—idiom's black sense of humor— Who developed a secret taste for flesh Flaked between the fluted bones of the wrist? In his tenth poetry collection, Michael Waters tackles the dual (and dueling) natures of our humanity: sin and transgression, isolation and atrocity, love and darkness, and the desire for a language that can illuminate such ordinary yet disturbing spaces.

Book Description
Saint Paul’s Church in Philadelphia where most of these sermons were given is reminiscent in architecture to those old pilgrimage churches of France, with its rose window and gargoyles, flying buttress and flêche that pierces the horizon of Chestnut Hill. At one time the cross at the top of the flêche was the highest point in Philadelphia. Coming to Saint Paul’s brings one to “a place of peace for me,” as one parishioner described it that “helps me to try and work toward peace in the world.” “An omen of peace for the parish” is how our third rector described a gathering of clergy from North and South at Saint Paul’s only six months after Lincoln’s assassination. Enemies just months prior, they now stood before God at the altar of Saint Paul’s. A hundred years later in May of 1962, the parish established a memorial and planted a Red Oak on Rogation Day to honor Dag Hammarskjöld and all who died for world peace. In a night of disunity and polarization that marks the opening of a third millennium, the sermons and meditations in this book describe what is taking place beyond—a flaring together that holds the brilliant prospect of peace. This is the pilgrimage that is worth taking.

Book Description
When he was 23 years old, Dale Allison almost died in a car accident. That terrifying experience dramatically changed his ideas about death and the hereafter. In Night Comes Allison wrestles with a number of difficult questions concerning the last things — such questions as What happens to us after we die? and Why does death so often frighten us? Armed with his acknowledged scholarly expertise, Allison offers an engaging, personal exploration of such themes as death and fear, resurrection and judgment, hell and heaven, in light of science, Scripture, and his own experience. As he ponders and creatively imagines — engaging throughout with biblical texts, church fathers, rabbinic scholars, poets, and philosophers — Allison offers fascinating fare that will captivate many a reader’s heart and soul.

Book Description
Cleveland's Gospel Music documents the history of black gospel music from the 1920s through the 1980s. The gospel quartet groups, radio announcers, solo artists, and promoters established Cleveland as the gospel singers' metropolitan hub. An integral part of Cleveland's history and its rich African-American community, gospel singers didn't sing for money or fame, but sang to the glory of God, often beyond the point of exhaustion. This work is a celebration of the past praises of those who sang tirelessly for some 60 years.

Book Description
This study of Johannine exegesis in the sixteenth century covers nearly every important commentator on John from the first half of the century, and examines the medieval and patristic traditions on which they drew. But while comprehensive in its scope, this book centers on the John commentary of Wolfgang Musculus (1497- 1563), an influential leader of the Protestant Reformation in the cities of Augsburg and Bern. As a theologian and biblical scholar, he authored a large number of theological and exegetical works which remained popular well into the seventeenth century. Despite his influence, however, Musculus has been virtually ignored by modern scholarship on the Reformation.

Book Description

In our world today, society celebrates the person who is gifted. That person may be a great athlete or a master musician. However, what impresses people does not impress God, because He is the one who gave the gift in the first place. Every human being on the planet was born with a unique, God-given ability to arrive at their purpose in life. In other words, you are gifted for the assignment that is on your life. The problem in our world is that many people just arrive at their gifts but never make it to the otherside of their destiny and assignmnet. This book is design to show you how to get to the otherside of who you were born to be.
