Description: "Sixteenth-century clergyman Francis David said, There have always been many opinions about faith and salvation. You need not think alike to love alike. At interfaith or secular gatherings, a widely diverse population needs to share a common language of love, respect, justice, peace, and hope. When our faith differences are acknowledged and supported, we are more likely to find ourselves united." from the Introduction For interfaith gatherings, collection of nearly 80 prayers.
Prayers are grouped for easy reference, including Ordinations and Installations; Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Events; Dedications; Unity and Diversity; Peace and Justice; Gratitude and Remembrance.
Focus is on what people of all faiths can share.
Practical advice on prayer making is presented in 3 opening chapters on how to address the holy, creating sacred space with prayer, and how to close prayers. Though prayer itself is universal, many traditional prayers are not accessible to people of all faiths. Occasions of public prayer, often occurring at secular events, are most successful when they welcome all that are present. A fitting prayer must invoke a sense of the holy and provide a common ground of belonging for everyone. In this inspiring collection, Annie Foerster presents a wealth of useful guidance on crafting universal prayers, along with an abundant sampling of beautiful prayers of all kinds, for adaptation or for use as they are. Beneficial for clergy, lay ministers, anyone participating in interfaith worship and readers who want to write prayers of their own.

Description: Have you ever wondered how God intended to end all this business of running His universe?
Did you ever stop to think that God knew how everything would become before He created a thing?
Did you ever wonder how the teaching of eternal punishment came to be in our Holy Bible?
If it is the will of God that none should perish, but all should come to eternal life. Is almighty God able to fulfill His purpose in the earth or does His plan rest upon the weak and uncertain will of man?
Would a loving, fair, merciful Heavenly Father ever allow His creation to be tortured forever in the flames of hell? His character would not agree to it; His power and sovereignty would not allow it; and His revealed Word of Truth does not teach it.
"For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive." if the first statement is true, then follows that second statement must also be true.
Capt's methodical research of the early Christian Church, and the later alterations of early biblical translations, will test everything you thought you believed about Christianity. Whether you are in full agreement or not, this is a book you cannot put down.

Description: In a work of striking breadth and clarity, Paul Conkin offers an even-handed and in-depth look at the major American-made forms of Christianity—a diverse group of religious traditions, each of which reflects a significant break from western Christian orthodoxy. Identifying six distinctive types, Conkin examines the major denominations representative of each original variety of American Christianity: restoration (Churches of Christ, Disciples of Christ); humanistic (Unitarians, Universalists); apocalyptic (Adventists, Jehovah's Witnesses); Mormon (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints); spiritual (Christian Science, Unity); and ecstatic (Holiness and Pentecostal denominations). Focusing on the early years and maturation of these groups, he discusses their founders and leaders, origins and Old World roots, and essential doctrines and practices. Conkin closes each chapter with a guide to further reading. The first comprehensive survey of these American originals, this book will serve as a valuable resource on a number of religious traditions whose members not only comprise a significant percentage of the American population but also make up an increasing proportion of Christian converts worldwide.

Description: This devotional book is a spiritual resource for nurturing the soul. Pulled from worldwide religious traditions, this daily devotional focuses both on personal reflection and broad-ranging topics such as forgiveness, suffering, and social justice. Whether we use the traditional religious language, or if we just ask for what is right and just, our lives and the lives we touch are deepened and made ready. Jung was right: "Bidden or not bidden, God is present." If enough o us begin with our own spiritual disciplines, a whole community may be transformed, or a neighborhood or city or nation.

Description: Religion and politics have always been a potent mix. History is littered with times when that combination caused sweeping death and destruction, when it fueled aggression and oppression—and when it gave fascism a religious and diplomatic face. Reverend Davidson Loehr is afraid that we may be living in such a time in America today. On the Sunday following the election on November 2, 2004, Loehr, a liberal minister in Texas, delivered a sermon titled "Living Under Fascism"—a sermon that spread like wildfire through the Internet. "I mean to persuade you that the style of governing into which America has slid is most accurately described as fascism, and that the necessary implications of this fact are rightly regarded as terrifying," the preacher told his congregation. ". . . and even if I don’t persuade you, I hope to raise the level of your thinking about who and where we are now." In this series of incisive and inspired sermons, Loehr takes aim at the unholy alliance of corporate money, political power, and religious fundamentalism that is threatening both our political and our economic democracy. But Loehr’s words provide little comfort to liberals and progressives who have stubbornly clung to a radical individualism and an amoral secularism. America, Fascism, and God is a call—first to understand that religion has been hijacked and debased. And then to take it back.
